Our Clientele
Pelicans Rest is primarily for the family Looking to relax. This family would like to commune with nature but without sacrificing creature comforts. This family needs a break, throughout the year, not just for summer vacation. This family does not need to be entertained but rather needs to have the opportunity to be together without artificial, commercial, amusement.
Also we cater to families who do not like leaving the family pooch behind alone or boarded at an (expensive!) kennel. Unlike at most lodging facilities, well behaved pets are welcome at Pelicans Rest! 
Do any of the following describe (appeal to) you? If yes, then Pelicans Rest is for you!
· Desire for a private, quiet, serene, environment. No traffic. No sirens. Sound is that made by song birds singing, pelicans crashing headfirst into the water after prey, seagulls screeching at each other, or a hoot owl at night. Visual stimulation is sunrise or sunset over a Bay and saltwater marshes. Night skies are crystal clear without air or light pollution to interfere with star gazing. In-season, watch the lights of the shrimp boats as they go about their work (and you can buy the fruits of this labor the next morning!) Several families have REALLY enjoyed canoeing in the marsh canals to very private parts of the Pamlico beach. They have also liked the ferry ($14pp) that takes them to deserted portions of the Atlantic Ocean beaches on the Outer Banks for shelling, relaxing, and/or surf fishing.

· Desire new facility with lots of creature comforts. The suite is fully equipped and even include linens, towels, and basic cooking staples and utensils. We have a large selection of games and books (especially mysteries!) and a few DVD’s and Videos.
o The newly constructed (2005) Suite (960 sq ft) consists of: living room with a beautiful wood burning fireplace, Cable TV with HBO, DVD player and VCR; fully furnished kitchen with range, refrigerator, microwave, washer and dryer; bath with tub; and two bedrooms with TV’s (even XM Radio!). You enjoy the beauty of the all pine floors and the luxurious bed linens.
· Free WiFi to DSL Broadband Internet
· Yearn for a place with quiet, private, walks. The nearby beach front on Pamlico Sound offers miles of secluded beaches where you will rarely see another person. You can even arrange for guided horseback rides along the beach.
· Dear Husband is a waterfowl (esp Duck) hunter or fisherman but does not like to leave Dear Wife alone and bored as he “gathers”. At Pelicans Rest, Dear Wife will be just fine and not begrudge Dear Husband’s pursuits. She will sit in front of a wood fire with a good book or lounge at the pool. Dear Husband’s chances of success will be improved by virtue of being guided, at very reasonable rates, by one of the Island ’s residents who has grown up on these waters.
· Photography is your hobby. If you’re not into gunning or if hunting season is closed, we can 
arrange for guides to put you in blinds armed only with your camera! Since it would be legal to bait the area, you are more likely to get some fantastic waterfowl photos. There are many great photography subjects on the Island.
· Traveling on the NC Ferry System's Cedar Island - Ocracoke (and on to Hatteras) run. If you’re going to catch the ferry (or are arriving on a late ferry, see if we have space available and avoid a long drive to Morehead City motels...plus, Fido will appreciate it since he/she will have room to run and the motel probably would reject the pooch anyway.
