On the property
From the reviews
We spent a week at this property and we will definitely be returning. The staff was great and the whole family loved the property. Easy access to everything around. There wasn’t anything we didn’t enjoy about the property.
We visited our friends who are staying in a cottage there. It's a nice cottage, great location, quiet, and access to their pier with plenty of seating where you can watch pelicans, heron & sunsets.
Getting married at D&R Pelican Bay Resort Inc.
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
