From the start, communication was clear, prompt, and helpful, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free.The condo was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. It had everything we needed for a relaxing beach getaway, and the views were absolutely beautiful. The location was perfect, with easy access to the beach and close to great dining and activities in Destin.Tufan was an excellent host—attentive, responsive, and genuinely committed to making sure we had a great experience. Any questions we had were answered quickly, and we really appreciated the attention to detail.We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in Destin!
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.
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.

Host very helpful. Condo has decent gym and great pools and on excellent walking beach
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!
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

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.
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!
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!
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!
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!!!
