We had a great stay! This is an incredible condo and resort. We had everything we needed! I’m already missing my morning coffee and view on the balcony!
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 a wonderful stay. The condo was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and the beach supplies provided by the hosts were a thoughtful and helpful touch.A couple of things to note that are outside of the hosts’ control: the café food could have been better for the price, and the arcade photos appear to be outdated since there were only a few games available. Families with small kids should also book premium beach chairs early, as the standard seating isn’t ideal for watching kids play in the water.Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this condo
Fantastic location, beds very comfortable, full size washing machine and dryer were wonderful! Only downside of the resort was they have you wear a snap wrist band that has to be cut off. You have to wear it anytime you are on the resort and if you lose it it’s 25 to replace. Other than that it’s wonderful resort with a ton of amenities!!!
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.
Beautiful condo! Never even had to contact the hosts because everything was taken care of and literally had no issues. Check in was a breeze, the bunk bed room was perfect for my three young daughters to share, primary bedroom was gorgeous, and we knew exactly what to bring with us because of the in detail listing description. (Extra toilet paper, laundry soap, paper towel, etc) The only thing we had to run out for extra trash bags. Thanks for having us!
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
