We enjoyed our stay very much. Teresa was very accommodating and answered all our questions promptly. The unit is beautiful and very clean. It had all the amenities we could possibly need and more. Pelican Beach is a lovely resort with so many extras. We loved the ocean side pool and fitness room! The kids enjoyed the indoor pool. Thank you for sharing your lovely unit with us and we will definitely book here again!
We really enjoyed our stay! Beautiful views, easy access to swimming pools and the beach, and restaurants/ stores were close by.The bunk beds were my kids favorite part.Everything was clean, comfortable and fun!! Would stay here again.
The view from this condo was incredible! Every day during our week-long stay we got to marvel at the sights and sounds of the ocean with too many numerous dolphin sightings to count! The real standout for me though was the communication with the owners. I received immediate and friendly responses to inquiries and information provided regarding check-in and property details were incredibly detailed and thorough.
This unit was exactly as shown. Very clean, had everything we needed and perfect size for our family of 4. The individual TVs mounted for each bunk were an excellent idea! Overall would recommend and would definitely book this property again.
We loved renting this apartment, it had everything we needed, very comfortable and clean, Mrs. Teresa quickly answered all our questions, we hope to return very soon. ❤️
Very family friendly, close to everything, great pools and beautiful beach! Was definitely one of the cleanest rentals we've stayed in. I probably wouldn't recommend this resort if you are looking for a party spot as the resort is pretty strict about the rules. But we actually appreciated that as we went with two kids under 8 over spring break and weren't worried about having to deal with the typical spring break scene and had a great time! We will definitely be back!
My family of four spent the week here. The condo was very cute and in a really great location. It’s right above the pool, so if you’re on the balcony it’s really noisy. The good thing is that the sliding door sound proof, so there’s no noise inside of the condo.
The cafe downstairs has wonderful customer service and food.
Can’t wait to return next year!
I brought my two sons here for a boys weekend. I chose this unit for its awesome built in bunk beds with tv screens and quick beach access. The pool with the waterfall became shaded about 2pm so that was terrific after they got tired of being out in the sun all morning. Great location. We walked to the water park and putt putt across the street and had a quick drive to go karts, the harbor, and Fud Puckers. They had a great time and said they liked it better than the other places we have been on the Gulf!
Only 1 thing really caused my to say that’s terrible!
The condo we stayed in was perfect! Especially since the ocean was right outside our window, unlike when you go to the beach and can’t see the beach at all. The expensive beach chairs blocked every possible view of the water! I hated that!
We had such a wonderful family beach vacation! We traveled here with our 6 and 8 year old kids. It was the perfect size for us. Comfy beds and couch. Great view. Right next to the elevator. Reserve your beach chairs early. Having front row chairs really improved our beach experience and you can’t put personal chairs in front of the reserved ones. We did have some issues with rowdiness around the pool and loud music, but honestly, that’s what we expected for Destin. We would absolutely come back to this exact spot again!
Pelican beach is a beautiful place for anyone to stay. It has three pools and two hot tubs and the beach is so close you can hear the waves. The views from the balcony are amazing. This condo was updated with everything looking brand new. Especially the new shower in the hall bathroom. King size bed was very comfortable. I can't think of any negatives!
Amazing view and loved the beach. Staff all very nice. The unit was very clean but the common areas were average and to be expected with the crowds. A few wild teens and younger adults with unsupervised children around the pools.
We loved the options at Pelican Beach Resort: heated pools, hot tubs, beachfront umbrella/chair/beverage service, the ocean was beautiful, nice on site cafe for food and beverages, security personnel, and friendly service. Our apartment was spotless, newly remodeled, and had all the amenities we could ask for and more! Gorgeous balcony views. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a great stay, in a very nice condo. Fantastic view and easy communication with the owner. I will happily recommend this unit to friends and family!!
