Pelican Beach Resort! Fantastic Views of the Gulf!

When you’re ready for a family vacay, head to Pelican Beach 405, a Gulf-front condo located right in the heart of Destin.  With stunning views and tons of amenities, your only question will be, why didn’t we book sooner!

Pelican Beach 405 is a lovely fourth floor condo with one bedroom and two baths accommodating up to six. The views don’t get much better than from the living room, with a sofa, love seat, and flat-screen TV. Come together for a game of cards at the table with seating for four, or gather at the breakfast bar for morning coffee. Take in the views from the kitchen while preparing quick snacks for the pool or beach, then head out onto the private balcony with a favorite book before an afternoon catnap. You’ll find cozy sleeping arrangements in the master suite with a king-sized bed, flat-screen TV, and en suite bath. The kids will love the twin bunks nestled in the hall, while the sofa sleeper in the living room provides additional sleeping arrangements.

You’ll find tons for the whole family to do right on the property, including shared swimming pools, a hot tub, two fitness centers, and a stunning stretch of beach right out back. With Big Kahuna’s Water and Adventure Park just across the road and The Track’s go-karts and miniature golf course less than a mile away, you won’t have to travel far to enjoy Destin’s most popular attractions. Packed with restaurants, shopping, and activities, the Destin boardwalk is just minutes away, and the perfect spot to rent a watercraft for the day!  Whether you prefer lounging by the pool, taking strolls along the beach, or shopping until you drop, you’ll find Pelican Beach 405 the perfect launchpad for your next getaway!

Spring Break Stay

First- the view here is unreal and makes it worth the price. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped. The elevators are right around the corner and getting to the beach is so easy. We had a wonderful time. The unit could use some updates (worn condition). Would recommend at this price! We made great memories.

Peace of heaven but needs updating

Great location with beautiful view of the sea. Everything is close. Definitely needs updating. Older TV and bad reception. The sinks are short and makes it hard to brush your teeth and wash your. Main bed mattress is good but frame is coming apart. Would definitely go back specially if if it gets the upgrades.

Nice family vacation

Great location. We were able to see dolphins one morning while on the balcony. Room was nice and clean. Only reason for not 5 stars is the water pressure in the master bath, pressure was too low. The guest bath was just fine.

Destin Property

This was a perfect accommodation for two people. The view and beach access were superb. Balcony seating, which was important to me, was comfortable. The only downside to this property was a lack of in-condo laundry facilities.

View was beautiful, but don't expect to get a good nights sleep. With the master bedroom located at the front of the condo it is very loud and annoying listening to everyone coming and going in the hallway, doors slamming, talking very loud and stomping around. You can hear kids screaming in other rooms. Makes for an un-relaxing vacay when you're sleep deprived.

Spectacular ocean view

Room 405 has an spectacular ocean view, and the room was very spacious roomy with updated appliances, and state of the art. The overall stay was a bit on the high priced. 9.5 overall stay!

Overall we had a great stay.

The room itself could have been better. We had to go buy wash clothes because we were only given 1. There were multiple dirty dishes in the cabinets that we had to wash before we could use them.

Great Place to Stay

Loved the location and view. It was on the 4th floor over the pool overlooking the beach/ocean. Perfect view. The only downfall to this condo is there is no washer or dryer in the unit. Luckily, there is a community washer and dryer across the hall from it. So, you don't have to go far. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay.

Could’ve been better

I developed a rash from a seriously overused hot tub. The bracelets and security on site were a little over the top and my mom wanted to come visit for an hour and the front desk gave me absolute hell about it even though they told me it would be fine before I checked in. One elevator was out of order the whole time which meant we could never get an elevator down to the beach and had to carry all our beach stuff down the stairs. Little small inconveniences that started to add up over time that makes me think I’ll look elsewhere next Springbreak.
