Exemplary communication with host, ease of check in and out, location and cleanliness of unit. Breathtaking sunrise and sunset views directly from private beachfront balcony. Anything and everything to cook with plus lots and lots of towels available so you don’t have to do laundry! Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
First family trip to Destin! The unit was beautiful! The veiw from the balcony was incredible! Great communication with the owner, the resort was very clean and accessible. Staff were great! The family and i will definitely be coming back to this unit and Destin beach! 5 out of 5 stars!!!
Very nice condo. One of the cleanest we have stayed in. The view was wonderful. We watched the dolphins every morning. Would definitely stay here again.
The property was very nice, clean and convenient. My husband and I needed a quick getaway and this was ideal. I've actually booked again for thus summer!
The views were unbeatable, the beach was gorgeous. Our tweens loved the bunk beds and we fit 5 comfortably in the unit. Check in was very simple, hope to come back!
The property was as advertised. It was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect, directly on the beach with easy access to all Destin has to offer. The hosts were friendly and easy to contact. We would stay here again.
We loved our stay at this beautiful condo. The views from the room were gorgeous, and we had everything we needed. I would fully recommend staying here!
The room was just as pictured, view of the beach was absolutely incredible. Very close to all activities we were interested in. Definitely coming back!
Unit was exactly as advertised/pictured. We had everything we needed and restaurants/shopping was very close by. Check in/check out was very easy and the owners were very responsive with routine communication. Would stay there again!
Light, bright, comfy & clean unit with a well-stocked kitchen. Snow white sand, emerald green water, and regular dolphin sightings made every day a delight. The panoramic view from the balcony offered both sunrise and sunset views for lots of photos.
My partner and I visited Destin for the first time. This condo is in a great resort area and great location to enjoy Destin. The condo is beautiful and as listed. The pelican resort is great and beach is beautiful. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Destin again.
The views were great and property was just as listed. The garbage chute is located outside of the bedroom window, which can be noisy if you are sensitive to sound. Also very convenient to throw trash though. Pools were heated and the beach was perfect. We would return!
Loved our stay in this corner condo. The view was amazing. Spent a lot of time on the balcony enjoying the breeze and the sounds of the ocean. Bed slept great and the air was cold. Couldn’t have been better.
The photos for this listing are spot on! The views are spectacular and the modern beach feel of the condo is beautiful and tastefully done. The king bed in the master was very comfortable. We happened to be there during the first snow in over 35 years which was kinda different for a beach vacation.We’ll need to come back when the weather is a little milder.
