Relax on our balcony and enjoy the direct view of the beach that Southern Living Magazine voted #1 in the United States! Located on the 18th floor, watch the dolphins play in the beautiful emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Sunsets with the most vivid colors are especially memorable.

This condo has 18' travertine-like tile throughout with LVP floors in the bedroom, a queen sleeper sofa, an updated kitchen with quartz countertops, and much more. We have not stopped there though - we are continuing to make upgrades and improvements to make your stay more pleasurable. There are five other condos available, four on the same floor and one that is one floor below if you have friends or family that would like to join you on your vacation.

This condo has a keyless entry - no key to pick up or send back and forth, no key to worry about losing at the beach. Less hassle and saves time.


The master bedroom has a king-size bed for your comfort as well as a private bath. Two bunk beds in the hall, a queen-size top grain leather, sleeper sofa and an additional full bathroom allow up to six people to sleep comfortably.

Location is always key and Pelican Beach Resort is very conveniently located. The condo is right across the street from the Big Kahuna's water park, very close to shopping and numerous great restaurants as well as many other resort activities. This newly remodeled condo is a great value right in the heart of Destin!

HURRICANES: Though I hate to mention it… If the area is under a Hurricane Warning issued by the National Weather Service, I will refund all of your money if you have not arrived yet or prorate the days that you are forced out. Believe me, my fingers are already crossed.

Gorgeous views

We enjoyed our time at the condo. Views of the Gulf were spectacular. It’s so clear we could even see the dolphins before they surfaced. 18th floor view of the water made it that much better. This condo layout worked for us because it was just my adult son and me. I’m not sure how a family would work with the hallway bunk beds. Master bed was comfortable, pull out couch was not. Blankets need to be washed. Bunks were too short for my son, so he had no choice but the couch. Coin operated laundry machines (old) on each floor. Pools, beach, tiki hut and beach services were awesome! Delicious drinks at the tiki hut. Some suggestions: beach towels-they take up so much room in suitcases and I’m not the type to buy at location and throw away. Liquid hand soap in the kitchen. A list of nearby activities, restaurants, things to do when it’s raining, etc. A guest book-I love reading through these to see what people did while staying where I am, same time as year that I’m there.

Basic condo, nice location

Older small basic condo in need of updates. The location is on the beach with a good location. The "stocked kitchen" didn't have any dishwasher soap, hand soap or dish detergent. There were no spices, not even salt and pepper. There were no wine glasses. Some of the plates, silverware and glasses required washing before use.

Wonderful! Relaxing

Stayed for 3 nights with my 16 year old daughter, had a fabulous time. The view from the balcony was spectacular! My daughter insisted on sleeping on the sleeper sofa in the living room with the deck door open so she could listen to the waves all night. Kitchen was great, furniture was comfortable & check-in/check-out was a breeze. Having a code for the door was great too, no worries about locking yourself out. Three pools and two hot tubs and easy access to the beach was also a huge plus. Would definitely stay again, highly recommend! Thank you so much, Missy & Greg!
