Very nice

We thought the unit was very nice and clean and as described. My son slept on the pull out couch because the mattress for the bunkbeds was very uncomfortable, it was like laying on box springs. Another issue we had which doesn't have to do with the unit itself but more of an FYI for future renters is that they are doing construction or something on the roof and the units beside us, there were lots of banging and hammering starting around 7 or 8 am everyday - so no sleeping in on your vacation!

It was nice, but the bathrooms could have been cleaner. Mold around the faucets, and the main entrance door has to be pushed to get it opened. Code worked but had to try at least a couple of times because of what I mentioned. The view was spectacular!!

Gorgeous view!

The view from this condo was AMAZING! We spent so much time out on the balcony just watching the waves. My kids loved the bunk beds, although I was a little unsure of the railing on the top bunk. It was very loose. The master bedroom bed was comfortable and the dresser was big enough for our whole family’s clothes. There were a few issues. Not a fault of this unit, but the elevators were awful. There were 5 of them and at least one was always broken. The waits could take forever sometimes. At one point, the call buttons for the bank of 4 elevators together weren’t working, so everyone had to use the single outdoor elevator. In the unit, the microwave started tripping the breaker halfway through our stay. We notified property management, but didn’t want to wait for someone to come fix it, so we were without a microwave for a day. Property management is very quick at responding to issues. Lastly, I went to fill up the bathtub in the master and the water had so much dirt/black stuff floating in it. I don’t know if it was a water problem or dirty tub problem, but we all used the stand up shower the whole trip. Overall, our stay was great. The resort is awesome, with 3 pools and hot tubs, a tiki bar, cafe, beautiful beach, and parking garage. We’d definitely stay at Pelican Beach again.

Condo was nice, carpet coming up on one corner which could be a tripping hazard. Dining chairs were pretty hard and not comfortable and don’t understand only one garbage bag. Only one elevator working at check-in day, but got better. Would return to this property or others in Destin again.

Disappointed in Destin

The patio was covered in pigeon poop. After requesting it be cleaned, it was finally done on day 3. The building has a real pigeon problem. The owner/HOA needs to address it. I would stay in this building again, but not this unit unless I knew they had the pigeon problem under control.. The pigeons seem to like the higher floors. There can be as many as 20 birds sitting on the railing on a single patio. The rug in the main room is worn out, dirty and rolled up on one end creating a possibility of tripping. I was double charged for an additional night. After a couple of phone calls I was told I should see a refund in 7-10 days. Time will tell.

20th floor awesome view! Furniture, a little outdated and the rug in the living room definitely Needs replaced since It’s extremely old, dirty, and curled up at the end, which actually could be a tripping hazard. Tiki bar closes at dusk, which was a little disappointing since we enjoy having evening drinks and music at the pool. Overall, our stay was good.

Summer 2024 🙌

We had a blast! This was our 3rd time staying at Pelican Beach Resort and our first time on the top floor! At first I got the Willie’s when I looked over the balcony but after a few minutes I was well adjusted and spent a lot of time with my binoculars watching the ocean. We did see a dolphins leading a boat which was beautiful. We seen a few sting rays from above one was HUGE such a cool experience. Overall this place is 10 stars! From the view to the tiki bar all the way down to the chair rentals. I had an amazing time letting the ocean throw me around like a rag doll and I can’t wait until our next visit. Also. We did not see nor hear of any sharks in Destin and the week we went the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. 😍

Very impressed!

It was wonderful and exactly how discribed! 20th floor had a great view saw sharks and manta rays in water from room. Very clean and well stocked! All the staff was friendly. Great location to many of the favorite restaurants and even Walmart was just a short drive. Nothing I could find was damaged or needed repair in the room. Beds were comfortable and showers were clean and worked well. Nice beach vibe to the decor. If I was going to say anything to improve it would be to have softer towells ( very minor issue). Overall we would definitely book again!

Beautiful View, Great Location

I would stay here again but maybe in a different unit. The typical condo furniture is probably rented and in sad shape. The hide-a-bed is very uncomfortable and the chair is sticky. There is dust on the ceiling fans and headboards so the unit is sorely in need of a deep cleaning. The mattress is about 6 inched deep so not comfortable at all, getting up in the morning was easy because your back hurt so bad. The kitchen area was Nice and Clean and all appliances worked. TVs worked fine, so I would say it time for a deep clean and a furniture upgrade but other wise we were satisified. Realjoy was good to work woth and did thier best to accomodate your needs and schedule changes.
