My family of 5 loved our stay in Destin. The Pelican Beach Resort had everything we needed. We loved our view from the balcony. We were able to watch the dolphins everyday. We swam, walked on the beach, went to a waterpark, did a few excursions, shopped and fished. My only suggestion would be a little more storage for clothes and toiletries for the guests sleeping on the bunks and pull out couch. We made due with putting everything in the master. Overall it was an amazing vacation!

Firstly, the unit was very clean and had a great view. The AC worked flawlessly the entire stay. The only problem we had was with the front door. It closes on its own when you open it, but it doesn't always latch. We actually discovered this when we returned from dinner and the door was open. Fortunately, nothing was missing. Also, the bed is very comfortable but the pillows are not good. I would suggest getting higher quality pillows for the bedroom. Otherwise, it was a great place and excellent complex. The tiki bar service at the beach was definitely a plus!

Between the pools and easy beach access we had plenty to do. We brought our 8 year old and she enjoyed the 3 pools as well as the hot tubs. Also, the unit is located right by the elevator which we enjoyed as well.

Perfect Family Rental

This condo was perfect for our family's needs! The bunkbeds were perfect for our two teenagers (heights being 5'4" and 5'8"). Bunkbeds are near the master bedroom, but not too close.

Great Vacation

We loved the condo and how we could run down to the pool or beach whenever we wanted to. We spent a lot of time at the beach or on the balcony. We also loved how we could walk to go grab food, ice cream, or coffee! Overall, it was a great and relaxing vacation!

Elevator delays

The property and room were great. No issues there. The property kept having problems with their elevators. For each day we were there 1 or 2 of the 4 elevators were out of service. Some guest waited 30 minutes to catch an elevator. Since only 2 were working during checkout, I had to catch the elevator going up just to ensure I could get on to eventually go down. An employee said “ we are having elevator problems AGAIN. This indicates a known ongoing problem. I stayed here last year and did not have this experience. Hopefully this will be resolved quickly

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!
