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.

I was supposed to go with a friend but ended up coming alone. It was one of the most peaceful trips I’ve ever experienced. Condo is cozy and clean and the beach was lovely. The resort is nice as well. I’d love to go again.

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!
