The condo was well appointed and faced southeast allowing for sunrise views with afternoon shade. The property sits directly in the beach providing for easy access, and had great amenities. The on site cafe was convenient for quick and tasty breakfast, lunch and snacks.
Very nice condo. Great location. Beach is amazing and pools are fantastic. The Cafe has really good food and the Tiki bar is awesome. Highly recommend!!!!!
This was our families first vacation to a beach and everyone said it has been their favorite vacation. Our condo was very nice and clean, our beach view was perfect, and we were steps away from the beautiful white sands in Destin. The front desk staff welcomed us and were very friendly and we had the best time! We would definitely go back.
The whole condo is so pretty. They did an excellent job making it feel clean, modern, and cozy. The view from the patio was perfect for playing Uno each evening and getting up to drink coffee in the morning. Beds were comfy, and the TV was great for hanging out after we ate dinner. The staff were all super nice, smooth check in. We reserved chairs on the beach while we were there, and servers from the Tiki bar brought your beverages. Even on row three, the view was great. Overall it was a great time, and we will probably book again next summer!
Overall,I truly enjoyed our stay. Lets start with the negatives; The elevators had minds of their own and were slow moving and the doors tried to eat you if you didn’t move fast enough between people getting off and people getting on. I didn’t appreciate that to sit in the beach and see the ocean you had to rent a ridiculously over priced chair. If you brought your own chair you had to sit behind all the rental chairs. For the positives; the pools were always clean, the people were very nice and no guests got out of hand. It was close walking distance to places around with things to do. The sand was soft and the water was very clear.I would book again next time we travel to Destin.
Spring Break 2024. Let me start by saying I understand that maintenance isn’t something the owners can control. That said, if I were the owner I would have made sure that the guests were aware or offered a discounted rate. The condo’s location is good, right in the middle of Destin. The facility on the other hand was a mess. They were redoing the roof and painting the building. This unit being at the very end, right next to where the new roof was being put on. Half of your view is the beach and the other half is the roof. They really should not have this unit available during roof construction. We couldn’t sleep in because of the noise and no naps either. The elevator closest to the room was broken so we had to use the main elevators, which 1 of the main 4 elevators was broken as well. All elevators were very dirty. The condo was nice and clean, but the TV’s didn’t work, so we had to log on to our personal Netflix accounts. We also told them about a broken iron and never got a new one so we wore wrinkly clothes the entire time. Needless to say I don’t think we’ll ever come back to The Pelican.
We had an amazing time! Everything was great!! Very clean room, nice views of the ocean. My kids loved the pools and easy access to the beach. Owners were very helpful during the booking process. Overall excellent experience.
Property was clean and nicely appointed. Beautiful view of the beach. Our 3 year old loved the pools. The tiki bar/cafe offered delicious drinks and snacks for a reasonable price. The beach was stunning and had calm waters, would recommend renting chairs and an umbrella.
Second time staying at Pelican. We love how it has so many convenient things. The cafe and tiki bar have so many things to choose from so you don’t have to leave as much. I loved how updated and cute this condo was after staying in one last year that wasn’t as nice.
This was such a great space for a young family to spend the holidays. It's right on the beach, has ideal views of the ocean from the balcony, and the amenities give you plenty of options, even if the weather changes.
Inside was very clean and had a great layout.
Thank you again
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Pelican Beach resort in Destin. The condo was clean and inviting with bright sunshine until noon every day. Central location made it any easy walk to shopping and restaurants. The facility was partially closed during our stay in Feb. with the gym and tiki hut closed and the cafe opened for 3 days/week.
Great place! Very clean! No complaints at all!
Great view!
The check in this year was way easier then place we stayed last year!! No gate codes was
Really nice just show your tag & go on!
This condo was wonderful. It is very nicely furnished, well stocked and comfortable. Owner's are extremely friendly and helpful. I had to message them about one small issue and they responded immediately and got it taken care of. I highly recommend this condo for your Destin vacation.
This condo is cute, clean, and comfy! Although the weather was cooler than we expected, we enjoyed laying on the couches and looking over the ocean every day. When we did venture to beach, it was a quick elevator ride and a very short walk.
Beautiful condo and location in Destin. Beautiful beaches and plenty of amenities. Only issue we had was checking in took a long time and it's a struggle to find luggage carts. Not a reflection on the condo owners at all, just the resort itself. We had a great stay! The condo was as pictured and the owners were quick to respond with any questions or issues we had. The beds were comfy, the patio is super cute, the view is fantastic and the condo is right by the elevator, which was awesome! Would stay again.
Modern and beautifully furnished with gorgeous view
Quick communication from the owner! Beautifully updated and fully equipped unit. Our family loved the central location. Elevator right next to the condo but no noise issues - very convenient end unit location. Easy access away from the busy central lobby. Shaded pool was awesome in heat of the afternoon! We loved every minute and will definitely return. Thanks for sharing it with us.
We rented the condo for fall break week. My wife and I with our 3 little kids. Condo had everything you could need from dishes, appliances, board games, etc. Resort is nice and seems to be getting a lot of upgrades with pools. Perfect walkout access to the beach. Chair rental crew was amazing. Condo seems to be newly renovated and everything is fresh and new feeling. Design style is perfect for the beach setting.
The condo is decorated perfectly along with having all the items you would need. We had zero complaints about the condo. It was fantastic being right by the garbage and elevator and NO you can not hear either from the unit. The resort is great as well. It will be nice when the new pool is open as the outdoor pools get pretty shaded in the afternoon. The beach service was so nice to be able to get lunch or drinks right on the beach. Loved this property and most of all the unit for our first stay in Destin!
