Great family resort

Great location in Destin. Awesome beach access, the tiki bar and staff were awesome. View from 17th floor was nice, downside was half the elevators were down so it took a little long to go up and down. Love the Destin area though. Great spring break! The family loved it.

Thanksgiving in Destin

This is an absolutely amazing rental that has the most beautiful views of the sunset! We saw dolphins right outside on our deck! With access to pools and hot tubs right along the beachfront, it was so convenient. Property manager is very responsive with questions and the condo itself was really well maintained. The bunks in the hallway were a fun way to add extra sleeping quarters. We definitely look forward to coming back another time!

Great location and beautiful views

Great place to stay with kids. Our kids loved the bunk beds. Pelican beach resort is one of our favorite places to stay in Destin— amazing zero entry pool for the kids, super close to beach and love the cafe. Only issue we had was our fridge stopped working after buying $400 worth of groceries so we had to move it to our large cooler while they replaced the fridge. They did respond pretty quickly though to address the fridge issue so impressed by that! Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Place

It was our first time in Destin. Our condo was perfect! The view of the beach from our 17th floor room was amazing. The room was clean and just enough space for me and my 3 girls. We really loved the convenience of the beach and pool next to each other. And we were right next to shops, restaurants, arcades and the water park. We will definitely be booking this place again.

Fantastic spot at Pelican Beach Resort

This was one of our favorite vacations on the Gulf Coast ever. We've stayed at Pelican before and it's always nice, but this condo is particularly clean and well appointed. The bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable, and the kids loved the bunks in the hallway. Frank was responsive and helpful before and throughout our stay as well. We'd definitely stay here again!
