Great Stay

The condo was as advertised, the balcony was large and had a great view of the ocean, and all the beds were very comfortable! Beach towels were provided which was awesome and it was great having laundry in the unit. The only downfall was the resort puts up 5 rows of umbrellas and chairs for rent on the beach and when we went to reserve them on our first day only the back row was available. If you are considering staying I would strongly suggest that you use the website ldvbeach.com to rent an umbrella and chairs a week or more before arriving as I assume that is what many others did to get rows closer to the beach. This information is in the welcome binder provided by the host but was too late for us unfortunately. The umbrella and chairs provided by the host were great and we used them almost every day, but you do have to set them up behind the 5 rows of rentals so no real view of the ocean.

Excellent Stay!! The condo was very nice, and would definitely book again. The host was exceptionally great to work with as well! We enjoyed the view of the gulf, and appreciated the lower level unit. The room is stocked with beach chairs, floats, games/toys, etc. We would highly recommend this property and condo.

The room was amazing. Host was great with communication. This is a bigger resort than we are used to. The condo had extra pillows, linens, blankets. Fans for the rooms, kitchen was stocked with everything you would need to cook. Storage closet had beach chairs, boogie boards, an abundance of things for the beach. We didnt need them but the room also had a pack n play and mini high chair.

This place exceeded my expectations. It was beautifully decorated and everything was very clean. The owners were so generous and quick to respond. We had no issues at all.The description is exactly what we experienced. This home is very well maintained. The cafe by the pool as really good food.Hot tubs were great just packed. Property well maintained and floors around Property and elevators very clean. We loved our stay .one last thing was security. I was so impressed with all they checked for wrist bands around pool and Property constantly. This was very important to us.

Perfect getaway destination

Everything was exactly as described. Beds were comfortable. Hosts provided little extras that made our stay more comfortable and enjoyable (fan for bedroom, power strips, beach towels and chairs). View of the beach and ocean were amazing through the floor to ceiling windows. Would definitely recommend this property!

A special vacation

The condo and the view was spectacular! This was a special vacation for us because our 3 children got to find out what their newest sibling was going to be. The pools were great and the beach beautiful! The room was clean, tidy, and had a lot of home comforts! We will be back!

Excellent condo!

I didn’t get to leave a review in the guest book and I apologize because this place is exactly as listed! Loved staying here, great location and easy to access. The owners were very easy to get ahold of if needed and very friendly. You do have to reserve and pay for beach chairs through a service before you get there but the owners have a storage closet fully packed with everything you could need to not reserve chairs. You do have to set up behind the rows of chairs but they luckily space them out so you can see the water just fine. Definitely recommend staying here!

Perfect Family Beach Vacation

This location couldn’t have been more perfect for our family of four. We had quick access to the beach so we could set up the chairs and umbrella that were supplied in the balcony closet. Our boys loved moving from the beach to the pool below our balcony on the hot afternoons because the condo shaded it. Ordering groceries from Publix and to our surprise they delivered directly to our room making it so convenient. The cafe on site had amazing food for a quick bite for breakfast or lunch. We ended each day with a special tiki drink and our boys loved the frozen kid friendly ones! Our snorkeling excursion from the Harbor Village was an easy $8 Uber ride away. Just perfect and we can’t wait to go back!

Don’t stay at PELICAN BEACH RESORT

One of the toilets didn’t work, there was sand and trash in the floor when we arrived, the beach chair service owns the beach and they tell you where to put chairs. They would not let you sit in the first 20 feet from high tide line because it would block the 5 rows of beach chairs view. Don’t stay at this resort!

Would definitely stay here again

Very clean and beautiful. It was refreshing to stay in a condo without the typical “beach theme decor”. Beds were comfortable. No signs of any kind of bugs. The other reviews complained about the property being strict but I never had any encounters with security. It was nice to have security at the beach and pool areas. The tiki bars open 10-dusk. Good food & drinks. We rented beach chairs online months in advance as other reviews suggested. We were in the second row the whole week which was fine with me. Each day our seats were in different areas but near the same spot. They will bring you drinks and snacks right to your beach chair. So luxurious and fun! We also had groceries delivered from Walmart the first day so that was so convenient. So many shops and restaurants within 5-10 minutes walking distance. We flew and didn’t rent a car so went we anywhere we walked and it was no big deal. The 4 elevators were never too long of a wait but we did take the stairs sometimes since it’s only 6 flights so it’s not bad. The WiFi was pretty good. We brought our fire stick to watch movies and it took a bit to load but then it played without lagging. There’s so many toys in the balcony closet and the kitchen was well stocked. Water pressure in showers was good when I adjusted the shower head to the strongest position. Be sure to warn your family to be careful of the stone tiles because they can crack if they drop something on them. Consider using plastic cups just in case. So much fun.
We spent many hours everyday on the beach chairs
Beautiful sunset from the front door balcony. You can see the sunrise on the other end of the condo through the living room or bedroom windows and balcony. .
