Pelican Watch 501 - Oceanfront 3 bedroom end unit!

** The Pelican Watch building is undergoing a building-wide construction project that will likely last throughout the summer of 2026. The HOA has given the following statement, but please contact our office with questions.

"Pelican Watch is undergoing extensive renovation this year, and construction crews are on site Mon-Fri, 7:30AM-5PM. During these times, noise, debris, dirt, and dust will likely be experienced. Unfortunately, the outdoor pool will be closed due to safety concerns, and direct access to the beach may be limited at times. The indoor pool will remain open, and the beach can still be accessed via the town parking lot next to the building." **

Great location for everything as well as firework watching 😀

Nicely updated condo, stocked with all the essentials and within walking distance to restaurants . Right on the ocean and the balcony is the perfect spot to watch the fireworks from . My only critique would be that the master bedroom does not have a TV and there is not any closet to hang your clothes .With the exception of a small catch all closet in the kids room.
