Pelican Cove Smith Island

10/08/2026

When we bought Pelican Cove, this room had layers of wallpaper—along with old carpet and furniture that made the space feel much smaller and darker than it really was.

We stripped back the layers of wallpaper, added new flooring, lightened everything up, and gave the room a whole new feel.

And that dresser? Yep, it’s the same one! Rather than get rid of a perfectly good piece, I sanded it down and painted the drawers. A little DIY was all it needed for a second life.

When you’re furnishing a house on an island, reuse what you can!

The transformation of the Crew’s Quarters is definitely one of our favorites.

🦀 What’s one of our favorite things after some good Maryland blue crabs?

🦪 OYSTERS!

And fall on Smith Island is the perfect time for both.

The crabs are big, the oysters are plentiful, the fishing is great, and as the temperatures start to cool down, the bugs finally start to die down a little. 🍂🎣

We have a some openings left from the last week of September through mid-October, and then plenty of availability throughout November.

Come spend a few days on the island, get out on the water, catch some fish, pick some crabs, shuck some oysters, and enjoy everything that makes fall on Smith Island so special.

🍂 Fall is one of our favorite times of year at Pelican Cove.

If you’ve been thinking about an island getaway, there are still some great fall dates available! 🌊

When we bought Pelican Cove, the way this bedroom was furnished made the room feel much smaller than it actually was. A little rearranging made a huge difference!

We replaced the carpet with new flooring, changed up the furniture arrangement, and gave the room a lighter, more relaxed feel.

And those old dressers? Why replace something that was already in great shape? I sanded down the tops, painted the rest, and gave them a whole new look. Plus, reusing what was already there meant less furniture to get over to the island and less furniture to put together.
