So relaxing!!!

The Pelican Inn is so relaxing...We are already looking forward to a return vist. The staff was exceptional! The meals that Corrine and Eunice prepared were incredibly delicious and created from the heart. The beach is amazing as well as the strategically placed hammocks for an afternoon nap!!!

First Timers at Pelican

We had a great stay at the Pelican Inn! We enjoyed having beach and marsh access and only wish we had brought our kayaks to use in the marsh. The quality and variety of meals provided for breakfast and dinner were very good. We also enjoyed the environment where we were able to meet our fellow guests in a casual setting. It is no wonder that so many guests were repeat customers.

A step back

Comfortable, clean, great food, friendly staff may be found at many places. No exception here. Corrine and her staff are superb. Few places offer the setting found on Pawleys . No commercial establishments. Coffee and beachfront sunrise are 20 yards away, sunset with wine and cheese on the creek dock just 50 yards out the back door.

A Step Back in Time

Our recent stay at the incredibly charming Pelican Inn absolutely surpassed our expectations. Corinne has done a fabulous job with the charming 'shabby chic' decor of this historic c.1850s home, and our room was just lovely. Meals are served family style and you will feel as though you just stepped into an issue of Southern Living with the wonderful home cooking, lovely tablecloths and fresh cut flowers on every table.The beach is also lovely and feels almost private. Our only suggestion would be to update some of the plumbing fixtures (shower head and faucet were sorely in need of replacement and there was a bucket under the bathroom sink to catch leaking water from the U joint).

Beautiful

My husband and I had a beautiful stay - the inn was delightful. Loved all the hammocks and the food was AMAZING. Loved Corrine and Bruce - the owners. The best part was the almost private beach. We will be back!

Beautiful bed and breakfast

Stay here every year with the family. Corinnes hospitality is amazing and the food is great. The beach is basically deserted most days. Its close to Myrtle Beach if you need the bustle but Murrells Inlet is closer and provides a lot of the water sports and finishing opportunities on a smaller scale. There is no finer spot.

Even the rain was wonderful

Our stay from 8/4 thru 8/11 was wonderful.....Normally one might say :exceeded our expectations but this being our 5th straight summer at the Pelican...I will say that our expectations were met.....After one's first stay ---you get accustomed to perfection....Perfection is difficult to improve upon much less exceed...The Pelican maintains perfection in the above categories (and more) summer after summer....The unrelated church service on the Marsh down the street at 10 AM is special and should not be missed...This summer we arrived ten minutes early and got the last four seats.

Outstanding oceanfront B&B in every way

The Pelican Inn is one of the most special B&B establishments in the country: oceanfront on a beautiful uncrowded beach, southern gourmet dining (b'fast and lunch only) and gracious service from wonderful and talented hosts, Corinne and Bruce. You can't beat life like this - beach casual (barefoot and tee shirts if you like), child friendly, yet private enough if you want a couples only experience. It's obvious the owners love their property and continue reinvesting in its excellence. We look forward to our return to this special island and very special inn. Ed Burke

Boger Golf Getaway

I have stayed at the Pelican Inn many times since my study sessions during college in the mid-1970's. The inn is special and affords a relaxing communal atmosphere with great food. I brought my son to play golf an relax a bit and he was very glad to have experienced the fellowship.

Fantastic stay before labor day

Fantastic Bed and Breakfast on Pawleys island. The food for both breakfast and lunch was excellent every day. Our only regret is that we probably should have stayed for the whole week rather than 3 nights.
