I know I wrote a review right after I stayed here, but after I read the reviews where people were putting the Pelican Inn down, I just had to make things right ! My 2 grown daughters & I stayed here back in 2010 or 2011. We stayed 2 nights & were wishing we had made plans to stay at... More

We have lived in Florida all our lives and have traveled and stayed in many places along both the Atlantic and the Gulf. But this by far was the most relaxing vacation. We were lucky because we had the Pelican Inn all to ourselves. My husband fished off the deck at high tide. All you hear are the waves 24/7.... More

I have read the reviews of others and found them all lacking. The Pelican Inn is the only place of of its kind along all the Gulf of Mexico OR along the entire Atlantic Seaboard. It is an old frame hotel of the kind which old people remember but which the Yuppies of today scorn because they have been so... More

My family and I have been staying at the Pelican Inn every spring for 15 years, and will continue to go there until it does wash away into the sea. In talking with the locals, the woman who called it a deathtrap asked for a discount because her daughter saw a spider, decided the discount wasn't enough and threatened the... More

The best vacation I have ever had! I have stayed here twice and just made reservations for this year. I stayed there last year after school had started back and it was almost like having my own private island. I stayed seven days and saw noone three of the seven. The beach is awesome. While walking the beach I saw... More

I rated it avg. because the Inn does need some TLC. (Tender loving care) It was built in 1959 so after many hurricanes and storms, yes it needs money to be put into it. We stayed 2 nights and got in some relaxing time and fun fishing. My son hooked into something during the evening when it was dark and... More

My wife and I spent four nights at the Pelican Inn on Dog Island, and we've never had a better vacation. As other reviewers have noted, the island is remote and you can walk the beach for miles without seeing anyone else. I jogged for four miles along the shore one morning and only saw two people, and they were... More

If you are looking for a great getaway...this is it! The Inn is old and rustic but it's fully equipped and clean and has everything you need for a beautiful and unique vacation. If you're looking for a Holiday Inn, this may not be for you. This is somewhere that you can really enjoy the beach, the sunsets and quietness... More

i have just booked my 2nd trip this year to Pelican Inn at Dog Island. We have been going to the hotel since Katrina hit and we had to take our grandchildren somewhere other than Bay st. Louis Ms. where we lived. It is our favorite place to go for solitude, pristine beaches, sunsets, nature, and fishing. You can find... More
