Great vacation spot

My family loved our stay here. The condo was very clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make breakfast/lunch. Great location as it is close to the outlet mall, grocery stores and restaurants. Frank was easy to contact and was able to answer any questions we had! We will definitely come back!

Great view!

We had a great stay at Pelican Beach. Beautiful condo stocked with everything we needed and a view to die for. We were a bit shocked by the Destin traffic, but once we figured out key places, we were good to go. It's a beautiful beach with plenty of room so you never felt crowded. Definitely recommend!

Breath taking views

As advertised with stunning views. On a clear calm day dolphins and sting rays can be seen from the balcony overlooking the beach shoreline. Host had great communication before trip. Had no questions or concerns while there.

Nice place

Property is nice, a few to many rules. Beach area is small for 2 large buildings and 140 sets of rental chairs. Not sure why they close the beachside pool and largest hot tub at 8. We did enjoy our stay though.

Spring Break with teens

The condo is exactly as pictured and described. Worked well for our family of 4, but could definitely accommodate 6, if 2 folks want to share a sofa bed. My teens loved the bunks. The view is AMAZING, and we saw sting rays and dolphins. The balcony is wonderful, if you want to get away from the crowded beach, but still enjoy the sights, breeze, ocean sounds, and sunset.

Great stay, beautiful view!

We enjoyed ourselves so much we asked owner if we could extend our stay one more day. Owner was quick with communication. Staff was friendly. Condo has a beautiful view! We were out on balcony every morning to watch sunrise. Condo has everything you need. Only thing I would change is the shower heads need some tic. I would definitely stay here again. Worth it!

Elevator delays

The property and room were great. No issues there. The property kept having problems with their elevators. For each day we were there 1 or 2 of the 4 elevators were out of service. Some guest waited 30 minutes to catch an elevator. Since only 2 were working during checkout, I had to catch the elevator going up just to ensure I could get on to eventually go down. An employee said “ we are having elevator problems AGAIN. This indicates a known ongoing problem. I stayed here last year and did not have this experience. Hopefully this will be resolved quickly

Between the pools and easy beach access we had plenty to do. We brought our 8 year old and she enjoyed the 3 pools as well as the hot tubs. Also, the unit is located right by the elevator which we enjoyed as well.

Perfect Family Rental

This condo was perfect for our family's needs! The bunkbeds were perfect for our two teenagers (heights being 5'4" and 5'8"). Bunkbeds are near the master bedroom, but not too close.

Great Vacation

We loved the condo and how we could run down to the pool or beach whenever we wanted to. We spent a lot of time at the beach or on the balcony. We also loved how we could walk to go grab food, ice cream, or coffee! Overall, it was a great and relaxing vacation!

Great family resort

Great location in Destin. Awesome beach access, the tiki bar and staff were awesome. View from 17th floor was nice, downside was half the elevators were down so it took a little long to go up and down. Love the Destin area though. Great spring break! The family loved it.

Thanksgiving in Destin

This is an absolutely amazing rental that has the most beautiful views of the sunset! We saw dolphins right outside on our deck! With access to pools and hot tubs right along the beachfront, it was so convenient. Property manager is very responsive with questions and the condo itself was really well maintained. The bunks in the hallway were a fun way to add extra sleeping quarters. We definitely look forward to coming back another time!
