We love the Pelican. This was our first time in this unit. Our kids loved the bunk beds, and the beach view was beautiful every morning. Unfortunately, there was mold on the shower head and inside the shower handle in the bathroom off the bedroom. Other than that, the unit was very nice. We enjoyed our stay.
Theresa and Victor were great hosts. Very responsive to communication when needed assistance. The grounds were great and right on the beach. Plenty of things to do around area. Would highly recommend this location to couples or families.
This property is in a great location for the beach. Easy access. Clean, comfortable beds, & quick communication from Teresa with any questions we had. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Destin!
Condo was very nice. The property is extremely well maintained and clean. You can sit on the beach and order food and drinks and have them brought to you or order at the tiki bar or property restaurant and take to your room. Pizza is awesome btw! We have always looked for a place we would like to call our “go to” and this would be it. Loved our stay.
The property was perfect. It is right on the beach. You can hear the ocean from the balcony that is how close it is. Beach service made life easier and I really enjoyed just the quiet serenity you could find in the condo. It was never overly loud or noisy but soul soothing. Highly recommend. They have made this place perfect. It is homey and beautiful!
This was a wonderful property! My main two factors for living a place is cleanliness and view- this property hit it out of the park on both. It was very clean and nicely decorated. We also loved the large TV’s in the living room and bedroom. The view was wonderful! We enjoyed watching the dolphins each day. The weather was cold and rainy, but the private balcony was a perfect place to sit to view the ocean. The walk to the beach is less than two minutes- it’s really close! While the kitchen was well stocked, we prefer to eat out at all the meals. The best restaurants are only a few minutes from the condo. This was a wonderful place to stay and would certainly stay there again!!!
Condo was nice and host was easy to work with during booking or any questions we had .
Elevator was quick during our stay and parking was available if you ate early and beat the crowds leaving in the evening. Cafe onsite had a good breakfast that we took advantage of each morning and the tiki bar was convenient if you like resort style drinks .
Beach View was nice with usually a dolphin show late In evening or early morning when they were chasing fish off the sand bar .
Only thing we wish the condo had had was a bedroom on the front facing the ocean with a balcony and a more comfortable couch and living chair but we understand furniture has to hold up for a lot of people passing thru each week lol.
Give it a try if your ever in Destin !
Choose this property! It met our #1 requirement of cleanliness, was well kept, kitchen was amply stocked with all dinnerware and cookware, sufficient linens, etc.
We had stayed at The Pelican many years ago (not this particular unit but the resort in general) and it had become run down. Decided to give it another try this year and we are so glad we did! It is very obvious that owners and managers have put forth a ton of effort to make this a destination worthy of 100% occupancy.
The owners of this unit are super responsive and genuinely care about their property and tenants. We would not hesitate to rent this unit again.
The location was lovely and the on-resort amenities were wonderful! The staff handled it being labor day and packed very well from check-in to the outdoor bar! Great host as well.
We stayed at least the Pelican Beach Resort for the first time and had a wonderful time! They have everything you need and more.It is close by everything and very peaceful and clean place. Will be booking again!
