Condo has nice appearance and it was very convenient to have two bathrooms. Easy check-in process and it is comforting to have someone at the downstairs desk in case you have questions. Beautiful view from the balcony. Easy to find Local and National news as well as Sports and favorite shows on TV with the information provided by the owner
This property was extremely nice. It was clean, well stocked for the kitchen, and with an amazing view. To be quite honest, if I was a multi millionaire I would try to buy the property! Tufan was a responsive host who made sure you were happy with everything. A true class act! I would definitely stay there again!

Very clean and comfortable
From checking to check out very nice visit.
Will return
Wonderful location clean and great views for Sunrise and Sunset. Great communication with Host. Pool areas were wonderful. Beautiful beaches and great restaurant I would recommend Merlins pizza and the fresh seafood at Blalocks. Fun day at Destin Harbor.
Everything was just as pictured, we had easy check in, the beach is absolutely beautiful!! This is our third year to stay at the Pelican. We are already planning our next stay.

Good resort services with responsive host
Host very helpful. Condo has decent gym and great pools and on excellent walking beach
The condo is as pictured - comfy with a beautiful view. Tufan was very responsive to my questions and feedback. We loved being able to walk downstairs and be out on the beach, and the condo is close to the Harborwalk, restaurants, the Ice Cream Shoppe, and other shopping. Definitely recommend!!!
Nicely decorated. Had everything we needed. Very comfortable memory foam bed. Plenty of space to relax. Outstanding view overlooking the gulf. No issues at all. Great communication with the owner. Would definitely stay here again.
This place exceeded my expectations. It was extremely clean and the view was absolutely beautiful. The property is really well managed and not a really crowded.

Everything was good
It was a great trip, they had everything we needed. It was perfect for 2 adults and 3 children. Beds were comfortable and we never ran out of hot water for showers.
Thank you to the owner for great communication and and great place to stay! We have been to Destin a few times and love staying at the Pelican! The place was very clean and everything worked as it should. Thanks again!
Second time we stayed at this location and same condo. We loved it last year and wanted to go back again! Communication is excellent and the condo is perfect. I’m sure we will be back again!
The condo was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. Our boys loved the bunk beds with the TVs and our King size bed was very comfortable. The view was perfect from our balcony and we were able to see dolphins on our last morning there. So many great restaurants and stores within a mile or 2 of Pelican Beach, so we never had to venture far. Our boys, 8 and 10, swam in every pool and had the best time! We will most definitely be back!
My family went away for spring break. We had an amazing time. The beach is beautiful and the pool was great for the kids. We were walking distance from shops and food and a 10 min ride from the harbor and restaurants. The condo was clean and exactly what was pictured. We enjoyed the chairs Provided. We would come back in the future.
Pelican Beach Resort has really refurbished their property and the condo we stayed in was updated as well. The view was spectacular and the condo was clean. Wonderful fall break!
