Great view! Beach was beautiful! Location was ok, you definitely need a car to get to any restaurants or anywhere. The café and the tiki bar at the resort had good food good drinks. The only downfall is they’re not open very late.

My family of 5 loved our stay in Destin. The Pelican Beach Resort had everything we needed. We loved our view from the balcony. We were able to watch the dolphins everyday. We swam, walked on the beach, went to a waterpark, did a few excursions, shopped and fished. My only suggestion would be a little more storage for clothes and toiletries for the guests sleeping on the bunks and pull out couch. We made due with putting everything in the master. Overall it was an amazing 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.

Fantastic spot at Pelican Beach Resort

This was one of our favorite vacations on the Gulf Coast ever. We've stayed at Pelican before and it's always nice, but this condo is particularly clean and well appointed. The bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable, and the kids loved the bunks in the hallway. Frank was responsive and helpful before and throughout our stay as well. We'd definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Place

It was our first time in Destin. Our condo was perfect! The view of the beach from our 17th floor room was amazing. The room was clean and just enough space for me and my 3 girls. We really loved the convenience of the beach and pool next to each other. And we were right next to shops, restaurants, arcades and the water park. We will definitely be booking this place again.
