Pelican Post Motel

202 1st Street North

Bradenton Beach, FL US

Rating: 3 STAR(S), 0 (S)

The Pelican Post is just what you need for an easy, relaxed and affordable beach vacation! Just 150 steps from the gorgeous Gulf beach in the charming little town of Bradenton Beach on Anna Maria Island, you'll have a pleasant ground floor studio, apartment, or suite near not only the beach, but the fishing pier, and little shops and restaurants. (Sorry, no chains or franchises here.) Park just a few steps from your door. You can count on a nice, clean, cozy room or apartment, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We're not beachfront, but down a little side street from the beach, so our rates are affordable for everyone, and our private courtyard means quiet and away from it all. :)

Room Information

King Studio

The Deluxe King Room is intended for just two persons. It has a king bed and, just out of view, a sofa and a recliner. The bathroom has a tub/shower combo. It's a lovely room with a high ceiling with ceiling fan. (Of course it's got a/c and heat, too!)

One-Room Studio

Rooms #1 and #2 have a full size and a twin bed. The kitchen has a small stove with oven, 6 cu.ft. refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker, toaster, dishes, and pots and pans. Each of these rooms has a bathroom with a large, tiled, step-in shower. (Room #3 has a full size bed only and a loveseat instead of a full and a twin bed.)

Suite #1

The main room has a king size bed, sofa, chairs and a TV/VCR. It's nearly 30' long, so there's room to spread out.

Suite #2

Because it's entry is on the east side of the property, the yard outside the door is private from the rest of the motel, and has a view of the bayfront. There is a queen size bed in the main room, as well as the sofa, a chair, the TV, and the kitchen/dining area, also seen below. The additional bedroom, with a full size and a twin bed and dresser, is through the door to the left of the refrigerator in the photo below.

One- Bedroom Mini Apartment

The one-bedroom apartments consist of two rooms. The front room is the living room and kitchen combined, and the rear room is the bedroom. The bath is off the bedroom. Choose an apartment with either a queen size bed or, if you prefer two beds, a full size and a twin. These apartments have a sleeper sofa in the living areas so they can accomodate two adults and up to two children under 10 comfortably.

The Cottage

The Cottage is our only unit that's upstairs. It's above our day office. Entering from the front door into the Sleeping Porch, enclosed all around by windows, there's a queen size bed, seen at left. There's also a bedroom with another queen size bed, and barely visible is the twin bed which is in the living room, for an extra body, should there be one. The bathroom has louvered boat doors, which are quaint, but, well, louvered! :-) It's 770 sq. feet of cozy space, and is great for a family or 3-4 adults who are close friends or family.
