The kids will love the twin bunks nestled in the hall, while the sofa sleeper in the living room provides additional sleeping arrangements.

You’ll find tons for the whole family to do right on the property, including shared swimming pools, a hot tub, two fitness centers, and a stunning stretch of beach right out back. With Big Kahuna’s Water and Adventure Park just across the road and The Track’s go-karts and miniature golf course less than a mile away, you won’t have to travel far to enjoy Destin’s most popular attractions.

Could’ve been better

I developed a rash from a seriously overused hot tub. The bracelets and security on site were a little over the top and my mom wanted to come visit for an hour and the front desk gave me absolute hell about it even though they told me it would be fine before I checked in. One elevator was out of order the whole time which meant we could never get an elevator down to the beach and had to carry all our beach stuff down the stairs. Little small inconveniences that started to add up over time that makes me think I’ll look elsewhere next Springbreak.

Great views with lots of property amenities

Overall we really enjoyed out stay. Below are pros/cons; PROS: Condo is a great space with amazing views. Good sized kitchen and to good sized bathrooms. Pelican Beach resort has tons of amenities to include 3 pools, private beach, tiki bar, and a gym. CONS: We had to buy things like salt, pepper, cooking spray, and coffee filters. I think these should be considered as something you supply those renting the property. Overall would definitely stay here again, but we would know that we need to buy a few more things than expected typically with a VRBO.

The condo needs updated. Master bath def needs renovated. Hooks throughout the condo would be helpful especially in masterbath. The bathroom liner/curtain needs replaced black mold. The location is great, view is great. They need to spruce it up for the price they are charging.

Review

Everything was good except the couch was dirty and stained badly. With just our stay alone, I believe you all can afford 2 new couches. We covered them both with sheets in order to feel comfortable to sit on them. Also, the bottom of the shower curtain was dirty and should be changed.

No TV

Even while we’re at the beach we like to watch TV in the evenings. We were unable to do so bc the cable wasn’t working. We tried for two days to reach someone. Once we did, the following day someone visited to tell us he couldn’t fix it. So no TV, and the overhead fan in the master would smoke if you turned it on.

Great spot with issues

My overall stay was great and the spot 405 was perfect. A lot of the time the elevator was packed so we could just take the stairs and that was so nice. The house was nice but definitely needed some updates that shouldn’t be looked over. The master bathroom toilet seat was cracked and it pinched you every time. The master bed was not leveled flat and very uncomfortable. The shower head and faucet were packed with mold. The kitchen stock was very minimum we made it work but it would have been nice to have some cups other then glass for the kids. I would stay there again but these things should be fixed.

Definitely Recommend

The room offered everything we needed. The location is very close to the main elevators and laundry room. I was worried that only being on the 4th floor we would not have a good view of the beach but I was wrong. Overall, 10/10 for our family of 6. If there needs to be any improvement then it would be maybe a better sweep between guest, however you’re at the beach, there will be sand everywhere regardless.

Great Place to Stay

Loved the location and view. It was on the 4th floor over the pool overlooking the beach/ocean. Perfect view. The only downfall to this condo is there is no washer or dryer in the unit. Luckily, there is a community washer and dryer across the hall from it. So, you don't have to go far. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay.

Great location

Really enjoyed our stay. The unit had more room then my wife and I needed. It was nice to have a kitchen to fix breakfast and have coffee on the balcony in the mornings. Clean and supplied well. My only complaint is the rules for the beach, the rented chairs and beach umbrellas take up the beachfront until 5pm, you are only allowed to set up your stuff behind them with no direct view of the beach and only one open pathway to the beach. There are private property signs on both sides of the Resort’s beach, which are removed at 5pm and then you can set up where you want. This would be the only reason we wouldn’t stay again.
