Loved our stay!

This place was just as described! It was very nice, comfortable, charming decor and extremely clean. Kitchen had everything we needed. The balcony was perfect for slow mornings w/ coffee and pretty views. It was located on the second floor, so we were able take the stairs & not have to wait for the elevator each time we went somewhere. The beach is close and beautiful. We would definitely stay here again when we return to Destin!

beautiful gulf

The property is a high rise condo building, 2nd floor with great gulf views. Very short, protected walk to the beach. The infinity outdoor pool is wonderful for anyone with mobility issues. The kitchen has everything you would need. Washer/dryer is convenient. The walk Owners are very responsive. Peggy helped us a couple of times when we had questions.Unit could use a chest of drawers in the bedroom for longer stays like our month long stay.Building is very close to grocery stores and restaurants and pharmacies. Front desk staff are really good and helpful and there is a food service on the property which is great for quick breakfasts and lunches. We would return to Pelican Beach Resort.

We really enjoyed our stay

The property was as advertised. The condo was clean and comfortable. We really liked that it was on the second floor, so access to the beach was just down one set of stairs, which kept us from having to use the elevator everytime we took our things to the beach. Highly recommend this rental.

Great host/horrible resort

Let me start by saying that both the host and the unit were fantastic. The unit was well-equipped, providing everything we needed for a comfortable week-long stay. However, we did find one issue: when we pulled out the sofa bed, we noticed that it hadn't been vacuumed under the cushions, and we had to clean up crumbs left by previous guests. The reason for my low ratings is not due to the host but rather the resort's rules and conditions, which I wish I had known about beforehand: Guests are not allowed to place their beach chairs near the water. Instead, you have to sit behind 5-6 rows of rental chairs, which blocked the airflow and made it quite miserable. We ended up driving to a public beach every day to be able to sit near the water without being asked to move. The resort is outdated and had a pervasive smell of rotting garbage. The bedroom is situated near the front door, and the noise from the hallway disturbed us all night, along with the hallway lights seeping through the shades. For as much as we paid, we should have unrestricted use of the beach. For this reason alone, I will not return to this resort.

We had a terrific stay. Only complaint was other tenants that were loud in the hallways outside but it is because there were a bunch of teenagers there for a baseball tournament. The unit was fantastic.

Perfect location

We loved being on the second floor. And looking straight out to the golf. It is a beautiful condo. I will say, it wasn’t as clean as I was expecting. It didn’t seem that the bedding was washed, there were dead bugs in the corners of the rooms. With a hefty nightly charge, I would expect immaculate cleaning.

I got very unlucky

We arrived at 4pm which is when we were allowed to check in. The cleaners had not been there yet. There were dirty towels everywhere all the beds were unmade the kitchen was filthy, the floors were disgusting. I called the owner and he called the cleaning lady and we had to leave the condo for 2 hours while she cleaned. We came back and the bunk beds were still that made up all the way and there’s no way that she washed all the bed stuff because the washer takes a really long time to wash and dry because it’s a two in one. There were no toiletries for us and only one dishwasher tablet. There wasn’t even enough towels for two nights use. There were no hand soaps in the bathroom and the toilet wand was complete filth. The company that property uses for chair service is terrible. We spent 300 on 3 days and only got to use our chairs one day for because of weather and they wouldn’t even budge on a refund or even a credit. The front desk acted like because I was renting from an owner on the property that I didn’t exist. It was a nightmare from the moment I walked in. We pulled out the sofa bed and the blankets were all full of sand and filth. I had to wash them before we could use them, and the washer takes hours to one load of clothes. I felt like I had to work The entire time I was ther. Terrible experience

The condo met and exceeded our expectations. Everything was clean and the connivence can’t be beat. There is a cafe, tiki bar, three pools and chair rentals all easily accessible in this beach front property. We enjoyed all the accommodations in the room. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Gulf View Oasis

Our family absolutely loved our stay here. The condo was beautiful and modern, very clean and had just about everything we needed. It was a nice bonus to have a washer/dryer and a vacuum for all the sand. The gulf view was stunning, but nothing beat the location of this unit. The 2nd floor meant we never had to wait for elevators. A few steps away from the stairwell were the pools, tiki hut and beach entry. Plenty of things close by, or a short uber trip away. No issues whatsoever. We would definitely stay here again!

Great get away for our 25th wedding anniversary. This condo was nice, the bathrooms could have been a tad big but all in all nice place. Glad it was on the second floor we didn't have to wait for the elevator. The air conditioner thermostat wasn't working but David the owner got it fixed the same day and boy were we glad with the 90 degree weather. Would stay there again.

It was so clean and so nice. The connivence of not having to leave the resort. You have the cafe and the tiki bar. We never went hungry or thirsty. 24 hour security.

Condo is nice

The condo is nice and as advertised. We didn't have any issues with the condo. However, we were disappointed with all the maintenance going on at Pelican. They are resurfacing the patios and painting the building. The grinding and drilling is constant all day. It was so loud that we had to leave during the day. The pool, hot tub and the patio were all closed. Had we known this in advance we probably would have looked elsewhere. We were given the option to leave when we expressed our disappointment but we were not in a position to pack and leave at that time. Again, we have no complaints about the condo but I would recommend checking to see what maintenance is happening before booking.
