Condo, 1 Bedroom + Bunk area, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)


Relax on our balcony and enjoy the direct view of the beach that Southern Living Magazine voted #1 in the United States! Located on the 18th floor, watch the dolphins play in the beautiful emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Sunsets with the most vivid colors are especially memorable.

This condo has a recently updated kitchen with 18' travertine-like tile, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, queen sleeper sofa, and much more. We have not stopped there though - we are continuing to make upgrades and improvements to make your stay more pleasurable. There are five other condos available, four on the same floor and one that is one floor below if you have friends or family that would like to join you on your vacation.

This condo has a keyless entry - no key to pick up or send back and forth, no key to worry about losing at the beach. Less hassle and saves time.

The master bedroom has a king-size bed for your comfort as well as a private bath. Two bunk beds in the hall, a new queen-size, top grain leather sleeper sofa and an additional full bathroom allow up to six people to sleep comfortably.

Location is always key and Pelican Beach Resort is very conveniently located. The condo is right across the street from the Big Kahuna's water park, very close to shopping and numerous great restaurants as well as many other resort activities. This newly remodeled condo is a great value right in the heart of Destin!

HURRICANES: Though I hate to mention it… If the area is under a Hurricane Warning issued by the National Weather Service, I will refund all of your money if you have not arrived yet or prorate the days that you are forced out. Believe me, my fingers are already crossed.

Beautiful View

A beautiful view of the emerald green water from the balcony. Plenty of parking and the Tiki Hut was an added bonus. The noise from the elevators could be heard all day and all night. We had to sleep with ear plugs in. At one point the “new” elevator was out of service so only 2 elevators for 20 floors! I Food was still on the counter when we checked in, looks like they need to hire a better cleaning service.
