Beautiful condo! Never even had to contact the hosts because everything was taken care of and literally had no issues. Check in was a breeze, the bunk bed room was perfect for my three young daughters to share, primary bedroom was gorgeous, and we knew exactly what to bring with us because of the in detail listing description. (Extra toilet paper, laundry soap, paper towel, etc) The only thing we had to run out for extra trash bags. Thanks for having us!

Great Central location in Destin

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Pelican Beach resort in Destin. The condo was clean and inviting with bright sunshine until noon every day. Central location made it any easy walk to shopping and restaurants. The facility was partially closed during our stay in Feb. with the gym and tiki hut closed and the cafe opened for 3 days/week.

Fantastic Vacation!

This was our families first vacation to a beach and everyone said it has been their favorite vacation. Our condo was very nice and clean, our beach view was perfect, and we were steps away from the beautiful white sands in Destin. The front desk staff welcomed us and were very friendly and we had the best time! We would definitely go back.

Great family vacation

Beautiful condo and location in Destin. Beautiful beaches and plenty of amenities. Only issue we had was checking in took a long time and it's a struggle to find luggage carts. Not a reflection on the condo owners at all, just the resort itself. We had a great stay! The condo was as pictured and the owners were quick to respond with any questions or issues we had. The beds were comfy, the patio is super cute, the view is fantastic and the condo is right by the elevator, which was awesome! Would stay again.

Perfect Getaway

The whole condo is so pretty. They did an excellent job making it feel clean, modern, and cozy. The view from the patio was perfect for playing Uno each evening and getting up to drink coffee in the morning. Beds were comfy, and the TV was great for hanging out after we ate dinner. The staff were all super nice, smooth check in. We reserved chairs on the beach while we were there, and servers from the Tiki bar brought your beverages. Even on row three, the view was great. Overall it was a great time, and we will probably book again next summer!

Overall,I truly enjoyed our stay. Lets start with the negatives; The elevators had minds of their own and were slow moving and the doors tried to eat you if you didn’t move fast enough between people getting off and people getting on. I didn’t appreciate that to sit in the beach and see the ocean you had to rent a ridiculously over priced chair. If you brought your own chair you had to sit behind all the rental chairs. For the positives; the pools were always clean, the people were very nice and no guests got out of hand. It was close walking distance to places around with things to do. The sand was soft and the water was very clear.I would book again next time we travel to Destin.

Condo was clean and well stocked. Some minor scratches on walls from past guest, but nothing major. I appreciated the abundance of bath towels for us to use. Nice view out the balcony of side pool and partial ocean view. The negative is the check-in process and elevators. We were told there was recent change in front desk management. Upon checking there was a huge line and the front staff was very rude. When we finally got checked in and unload we then had to spend 45 minutes waiting for the elevators. 2 of the 4 elevators work and we were told this is an ongoing issue. Then we made it to our room only to have the key pad dead to unlock the door. We had to spend another 30 minutes waiting for maintenance to come change the battery. This isn’t the end of the world, but after driving 11 hours, it is very frustrating.

Great place to stay!

Everything was really nice in the condo. It was as it appeared in the pictures. A couple of needed changes would be new shower heads and replace the twin beds with a queen bed or take down closet that was built and rearrange the room. We ran into the bed going in and out of the bathroomconstantly. As far as The Pelican Beach, we had an issue with checking in. We were there at 4, but many of us there waited until 6 or after to get into our condo. Been staying there for years and never had to wait that long which ended up being 640 pm. We were given a few drink tickets and a gift card for the restaurant to take care of us for the lateness. It was chaotic at the checkin desk for 2 hours and 40 minutes. Nobody knew when rooms might be ready. The pools were ice cold and need to be heated this time of year.
