Our stay was fantastic. Just my 15 year old son and myself trying to get in a few days of relaxation before he has to start school. This condo was fabulous. It was very clean and decor was very nice. Beds were very comfortable. And unit was close walk to lazy river and pool. We had no issues. There were beach towels to use. I did have question about towels and what to do with them at end of our stay and had a little trouble with obtaining door code to enter unit at beginning, but Virginia was fast in responding right away and was able to rectify both immediately. Virginia was very down to earth and helpful. The condo was roomy. On the balcony I seen that there were boogie boards, floating raft, beach toys for sand, nets, beach chairs. If you have little kids they are set for toys to use at the beach. When it gets to be 10pm everyone seems to abide by the "quiet time" policy. No issues there. It really was a wonderful stay. I would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay at Pelican 303! We’ve been coming to Destin for years, and this was hands down our best experience yet. From start to finish, our host Virginia was phenomenal—so kind, responsive, and incredibly communicative, which made everything stress-free and smooth for our family.The condo was spotless and stocked with everything we could possibly need. It truly felt like a home away from home—no last-minute trips to the store, no forgotten essentials. Everything was there waiting for us.The location was perfect with easy access to the beach and pool, and the on-site staff was warm and welcoming. They kept the entire property clean, safe, and family-friendly at all times.If you’re visiting Destin with family, look no further. This is the spot. Thank you, Virginia, for making our stay so memorable—we’ll definitely be back!

The property was clean and well equipped with supplies, utensils, pots and pans and beach towels. There were 5 in our party and we all had plenty of room. It was really nice having our own lazy river and pool. The beach was only a short walk across the street via an over pass. Virginia was quick to respond to any inquiries we had. She also provided us with recommended eateries. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your property. We all had a wonderful time, and look forward to returning.

This condo is located just a few miles from great restaurants, entertainment and beaches. The lazy river is a plus when you’re not wanting to leave property.

Family Vacay

I loved my stay at the Pelican. It was great to be on the bay side with our little ones. We utilized the pools and lazy river every day. My daughters were able to "sneak out" while the little ones napped and have some down time. My Mom loved walking to the bay and hanging out in the lazy river. We ventured to the beach for a beach day and went across the bridge. The beach was wonderful! We only did this one day due to the ages of our children and the amount of beach items we had to carry. I can see how wonderful this will be the next time we come when the children are bigger! Our condo was wonderful! Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo with us!
