Great family trip!

This was our second time staying at the Pelican Beach Resort and it was just as great as the first time. We were super impressed with how clean the unit was, how easy it was to check-in and out, and of course the easy access to the beach. The host provided a lot of great information ahead of our stay with what was provided, what we needed to bring, and nearby accommodations. It was super helpful for our planning process. We would definitely love to stay at this unit again and will be back to the Pelican Resort - it's a family favorite!

Perfect condo

The condo was perfect. Everything was recently remodeled with the exception of the master bath. The property itself felt so safe with security guards constantly walking around. The elevator situation was a bit tricky. Only 2 of the 4 main elevators were dependable but the elevator nearest this condo was functional. The tiki bar was a huge hit for the adults and the kids loved all the pools :)

Best Vacation

Our condo was clean and had everything we needed. We used the float everyday. Pools were great and my daughter learned how to swim while we were there. Elevators were better than other places we have stayed. The only problem is they don’t have enough carts to help carry your things in. People keep them in their rooms so we ended up buying a laundry basket with wheels to help with carrying things in. I recommend bringing a wagon if you have one. Perfect area for shopping and eating. Book with Kathy. You won’t regret it!

Nice Stay

The host had great communication. Overall, it was clean. That’s major coming from me because I have OCD. The view was perfect, and the balcony was our favorite part. Parking was really convenient. The master bed was comfortable but the other two beds were shaky. Overall, I would recommend this property and would stay here again.

Just book it! This place is great!

Ok, I have traveled quite a bit and I am recommending this condo! My husband, three teenage boys, and I spent Spring Break in Destin. 1) The condo owner is GREAT and incredibly HELPFUL and COMMUNICATIVE! 2) Condo was clean and comfortable and aptly resourced. The pull out bed was comfortable (per my son). We have 5 so the 6 seater dining set afforded family games. The decor was beachy. Linens clean. Wifi worked. Washer and Dryer used every day. 3) The location of the condo is good. I have been in places where you wait 20 minutes to catch the elevator. Not here, quick elevator to the 16th floor - no problem. The TIKI hut on-site serves really great food (honestly, excellent pizza and other things) and great drinks. 4) the beach is well maintained. The chair rental company very nice and helpful. The chairs themselves are more chairs and not loungy per se. Practically impossible to lay on my stomach, but all in, really great. 5) Destin, AJs restaurant, Bochamps, Back Porch are a few great restaurants (driving distance but worth it). Pricy but worth it. Beach water was too cold and therefore Crab Island out of our plans. BUT, we've been in the summer and Crab Island is great. Enjoy!!

Wonderful Place, Great Location

We loved our visit to Destin. This condo was beautiful, clean, and close to everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen is fully stocked with supplies needed to cook and eat onsite. The views from the balcony were awesome - we could see dolphins swimming around in the morning, the sunrise, and the breathtaking colors of the ocean. This property is close to everything you need - restaurants, groceries, ice cream, etc. Kathy was a great host. We received everything we needed to know for a successful stay in advance. All her restaurant recommendations were spot on! We rented our beach set up for the week ahead of time (about a month in advance) and were seated in the front row the whole week. They had 3 rows of chairs going and plenty of room for personal set ups. The two main pools were very popular with our kids. It was a very family friendly environment. The beach was clean, the water was gorgeous, and the sand was incredibly soft. We can't wait to visit again!
