We had an amazing stay! The owners responded in a timely manner! We had everything we needed, except there were no blankets for the pull out bed, only sheets, but we made due with what we brought and were fine! Clean place and STUNNING view! We saw dolphins from our room everyday too! The pools were nice and heated, the hot tubs were nice too. We didn’t use the cafe but that looked nice also. The tiki hut was cool and drinks were very good! Of course the private beach access was nice and not too crowded. The owner even had a beach chair in the closet if you needed it!

Wonderful family resort.

We enjoyed our stay at the pelican. The resort was clean. Security was very diligent about checking arm bands. Which is appreciated to keep the facility limited to people staying in the resort. Tiki bar staff and waitress Whitney was very helpful, friendly and attentive. The poolWas clean and checked daily. Ivar from dolce vita did an amazing job taking care of beach service was awesome and well worth every penny. The view from our room was amazing. We had everything we could have possibly needed in our condo. We so enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful view from 18th floor

We saw dolphins two days from our condo. View was wonderful. Restful and easy access to all things. I have copd, so walking on the beach is limited for me. I would like to suggest that maybe a roll walkway going out to firmer sand would be good. Could be done in the mornings like when the workers put out the chairs and umbrellas and rolled back at night. Just a suggestion.

Nice Views

The property was pretty much as advertised. Beautiful views of the beach from the 18th floor balcony. Check in was simple and the front desk folks were friendly. Great location as you are close to everything and just over the bridge from Fort Walton beach as well. The property was clean when we arrived. Our only issue was the mattress in the master bedroom was very hard and not at all comfortable. The building is very busy with lots of noise so if you want to sleep in a bit, this is not the place. Nothing is perfect but overall very good stay.
