Pelican Beach 305

We had a wonderful stay at pelican beach resort! Being on the 3rd floor was super convenient when using the busy elevators. The view was amazing! Condo is on the small side, but was perfect for my husband and I!

Great Condo- hard to get beach chairs

We had a great time over all. The condo was just as listed and clean. It was perfect for my husband and I and our two little ones especially booking last minute. Be sure to bring your condiments/seasoning/paper towels/trash bags because they do not supply that as some do. The condo’s balcony is right over another pool they are building so when it’s done it’ll be a great view! The only thing I was let down with was the beach service situation. The closest we could get was the 5th row back-and I was at the stand at 7am to book. He said the first 4 rows are booked months in advance and front row is typically booked by people a YEAR in advance. I’ve never seemed to have an issue at other places getting chairs sitting right at the water/in front and I make 3 beach trips a year. Set-ups are about 8ft apart all the way across and all the way back. They stack them in and there’s a sign that you can’t set up your own anywhere other than behind all rows at the back of the sand. Maybe they’ll figure out a better way to do things and make it a first come first serve as you arrive since many of the reserved chairs weren’t even occupied! It was a big bummer to sit way back not by the water... but we still managed to have a good time. Probably won’t stay here again unless they change their chair situation.

Would Not Recommend

I chose this property because we were looking for an affordable condo on the beach that would fit our family of 5. It seemed to have great reviews but I’m wondering if those reviews were real bc we def did not have that experience. On a positive note, Check-in process was seamless and could have even checked in early, view from the balcony was lovely. Now on to the negatives. We arrived around 9pm and immediately realized there was no bedding for the couch bed and sand in one of the bunk beds. I texted Vacasa and no reply so I went to the front desk and they said to call Vacasa. I texted again and this time received a reply to “check everywhere for the bedding” this texting went on for 2 hours, and even on till the next day. The existing bedding on every bed consisted of 2 paper thin sheets so we covered up with our beach towels. The next day Vacasa told us to go to Walmart and buy the bedding we needed as there was no one to service our condo!!The hot water tank will only fill the tub about halfway before running out. The couch was FILTHY, terribly stained. Not fit for sitting or sleeping. Bunk bed ladder had a broken rail. I wish I could submit pics, just lots of little things that looked old, broken etc…. Main bed is very uncomfortable and squeaky. AC unit works but drips loudly and constantly. Overall I would rate the condo 6/10, it def needs some repairs, but unfortunately the non-existent Vacasa customer service was a 0/10. Would not recommend or ever rent from Vacasa.

Run far and do not look back

Never in 15 years have I ever left a bad review with VRBO - REVIEWS ARE NOT ACCURATE The air conditioner was not working after around 20 texts 20 phone calls a visit with HOA then Having to threaten with legal Action was there finally someone there to fix the air absolutely ridiculous I have pictures of everything I am stating and the air got up to almost 90° after driving eight hours to get there that’s what we had to sleep offered us a day and a half refund And the air conditioner was not turned on until around 5 o’clock. The next day that was good compared to the bugs in the bed. One woke me up in the middle of the night crawling on me. I was scared to death to catch lice. Obviously they were bedbugs , the furniture was absolutely filthy. There was a hair in the shower which that happens but still gross. The pantry light-oven light outside light were all burnt out icemaker did not work. normally takes 9 to 12 minutes to bake cookies took 25 -the microwave didn’t work properly -bed was absolutely hard as a rock. Some people may like that but we just bought a Stearns and foster at home so we not used to sleeping on cement- outside patio light which I like to have light on at night it was hanging by a string again have pictures of everything stated It was absolutely gross and report it to who? took an act of Congress to get the air on why would I think this would get fixed never again. I requested owner to contact me. Never did. do not rent !!!

Birthday Getaway

I loved the location of the Condo. We were able to sit on the deck and enjoy the sound of the waves while drinking our morning coffee as well as at night. Everything you need is in the condo including beach chairs. They thought of everything, We will definitely book again.

Spring Hreak

First time using Vacasa. Was a great experience from start to finish. Lots of communication and follow up. Actually let us in the room early without requesting. We have stayed at Pelican many times before. Always a great property and location.

Destin

The condo itself was fine and the location was good. I booked through VRBO who then subbed it out to Vacasa. We were suppose to check in at 4:00 and at 4:30 I still had not received an e mail or information about how to get into the location. I walked into the lobby and the woman there was very nice, but told me that Vacasa would have that information. I called Vacasa and they advised me that they could not find my reservation. I spelled my first and last name several times. The woman finally found it and then advised me I would need to go to their location in Destin. I called the local Vacasa and again was told they could not find my reservation. I have a common name and it's not difficult to spell. After waiting for another 45 minutes he finally found my reservation and then told me the hotel had the code. I went back into the lobby where I was once again told Vacasa has the code. I called back and after another wait, he found me the code. There was no information on the Wifi so I called again about that and it took them two days to get me the info. Not the condo owners fault, but I will never use VRBO (Vacasa) again!

Wonderful vacation

Everything was great, and we had every amenity needed during our stay. From check-in to check-out, we had a wonderful time. We left 2 boogie boards and a pool float in the closet for future guests to enjoy. :)
