Of course, the biggest advantage that Pelican Beach Resort properties have is their location- right on the sugar white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.

The second, smaller bedroom also has a beach view. Both bedrooms have televisions.

Located on the beach, the resort offers guest plenty of amenities, including beach chair and umbrella rentals, kayak and body board rentals, and a game room.

First trip to Destin

Our stay was great! The condo was the perfect size for 3 adults and 2 kids. The rooms were tight but we didn’t stay in the condo much so it was doable. The pools were spacious. Downfall, the dolphin pool shades over around 1-2 pm (this was early June) and the big pool on the gulf side closes at dusk. There are only 4 elevators for all 20 floors, we didn’t wait long for rides which was great! The main road was a nightmare. Very busy and tough to get out on. You almost always have to go right and then do a U-turn which could take 10 minutes for a break in traffic to be able to turn. However within driving distance there are tons of restaurants in both directions. We would come back to Destin but would stay somewhere closer to Navarre Beach or harbor walk village due to traffic. Otherwise the condo was perfect for our first trip!

Great management not so great unit or beach

I have been to Destin my entire life this is not the worst condo I have stayed in however it NEEDS upgrades for the price we pay it needs to be upgraded. I entered several tickets fo assistance all of which were tended to very quickly. I was impressed by 5star management. The unit was filthy. Dust on the ceiling& floors under the couch (only noticed b/c my son slept on sleeper sofa) broken doors broken drawers mattresses horribly uncomfortable you can FEEL springs! Replace them our backs hurt after a week on that! Also not enough beach that's not the owners fault but you will be jammed packed fighting for a spot if u like to sit near the water. Or pay $30 a day for chair set up and sweat away from water. Great job to management, not so great unit and beach overcrowded.. will move on this is our first and last time at Pelican Beach.

DO NOT book this unit

Everything in the unit is as low quality as it gets. Resort is great. Unit is not. We had a clogged kitchen sink holding water for 3 of the 7 days. Folding closet door fell on my child. Was reported broken upon check in and took 3 days as well to fix. Late check in as room was not clean in time. Had to change batteries in all remotes. 1 of 3 tvs worked for half the trip. The battery in the door code panel died and we were locked out of our room for just under and hour. It was a 45 minute wait to get through to the management company. The resort maintenance will not touch the room because it is managed by an outside company. I had to bribe the maintenance worker with cash to change the battery to get in to get my child’s medicine because I could not get a representative. Do yourself a favor and book at the resort, just find a different unit. The price that is charged isn’t even close to the experience you will receive. The room is a bigger motel 6 or days inn quality. It is not somewhere you want to stay for more than a night traveling through.

Girls trip

We had a teenager, adult, and a senior. It was a perfect location and met the needs for all ages. It was very conveniently located in the center of all the activities in Destin. The beach was beautiful and we were able to rent chairs and an umbrella. However, this resort is very busy so you are very close to others at the beach. The condo was nice however was slightly outdated. The bathrooms weren’t very clean either. The shower curtains had mold on them. Neither bedroom TVs worked. However, it met the needs for us as we weren’t in the condo too much.

Not enough beach area!! Too many rules!

We understand it’s busy season but to be told we could not rent an umbrella until October was ridiculous since we are here now, June. Was told they didn’t have anything and we couldn’t move our beach chairs to the water if we didn’t have young children in the water! WTH!? We paid as much as everyone else. 5 rows of beach chairs and umbrellas, some unused most of day. Actual security sitting on beach with rules in hand! Told me to go to public beach may be better! Unreal. We weren’t informed of only renting online. Master bed wood frame bolts come loose. Nice room just too many rules.
