We had a great week in this unit. It was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The views were amazing! We watched dolphins from the balcony a couple times during our stay. The heated pools were great for the cooler weather, although we enjoyed the beach as well. There is a lot to do nearby and even several places within walking distance.
Where do I start… the place is clean in and out. Pool are amazing and clean. I enjoyed the commodity and the carts to help you take luggage's in and out of the condo room. The elevators were fast. Over all my family and I enjoyed our vacation to its fullest and it was such an easy access to the beach and fun places around! 5 starts would be overrated! Book here you won’t regret it.
It's a good property that was undergoing some maintenance and appearance updates during our stay, with the biggest issue being some daytime construction noise, debris, and some elevators unavailable so that workers and construction material could be transported. Most of the time we were out on the beach or the surrounding area during the day, so the inconvenience was minimal. By the time we left, the work appeared to be nearly complete, so the last days were more normal. Great area, great beach, and it worked out fine for us. we especially enjoyed the view afforded by this corner unit.

Yearly trip
We have been staying at the Pelican Resort going on 5 years now. We always stay on the side and this year decided to see what a corner unit was like with a front view. Which was very nice.
Upon arriving, there were several broken items. (Lamp, dresser, tub) I sent an email to inform and did not get a response. Not that I wanted it fixed, it was for their knowledge. The floors were absolutely not cleaned prior and sand in the beds. We will stick to our regular room from here on out.
We came out for Father’s Day weekend and overall trip was good. Beds were a little warn in and if your used to having multiple pillows to sleep on I’d suggest brining your own. Fridge was good with an ice maker, balcony had great views. Water pressure was decent and bathrooms were a nice size. The washer and dryer setup was convenient until we used it. The dryer ruined out clothes. I assume since it’s so old it rushed from that and probably the sandy, salty clothing. So all of our light colored clothes ended up getting rust stains all over them. And the condo was very hot. Besides that it was overall a great trip. Just upset bout our clothes that got messed up.
The condo was as advertised. It was nice with a great view of the beach. The resort itself seems to be in need of some updating, but it does appear that they're trying. Two of the four elevators were out of order on the day of arrival so it made the wait a bit longer, but they were fixed the middle of the next day. The indoor/outdoor pool was closed, but the 2 outdoor ones were open and my 3 year old loved them both. Certain points of the day provided ample shading so you weren't sweating in the upper 90-degree weather. The "security" can be a little annoying as the same guards will ask you for your wristbands at the pool multiple times. The guards will also come out to the beach and hound you about it, too. You also can't put up any tents or canopies and the umbrella service at the resort pretty much monopolizes the beach and view of the water. I wish I would've known that because we really felt like we couldn't enjoy the beach at all because of that (we have our own chairs and small canopy as umbrellas just don't give me the shade I need having had skin cancer in the past). Again, the condo itself was definitely nice, and I'd stay there again, but the whole point of coming was to go to the beach and we were only there about an hour one day of our entire stay so that was a little disappointing. It's the resort's rules, not the condo owner, so I can't hold that against them. This is not a bad review, I would just like to make sure others are aware. :-)
We loved this corner unit! It had two balconies, and we were able to see two of the pools. The bathrooms were nice! We also loved the security provided on the property. Very nice and will definitely book here again!
Location is perfect. Right in the middle of the Destin Beach front locations. The property grounds are great. 3 nice pools with hot tubs. All very family oriented. Staff was great. The room was exactly as described. Great corner unit. Large, with everything you need. A couple things that kept it from being 5 stars. While the room was clean, it wasn't as clean as it should have been. The tile floors were not clean and all the base boards need painted and trimmed. The front door needs replaced, the only lock on the door was iffy. You had to really pull the door closed and with little kids, that's an issue. Also, the front door does not seal right, so it's loud in the hall and let's all the hot, humid air in. For what we paid a night, I expected it to be better. But with that said, I would stay there again.
This room and the facility was amazing. The room was as advertised. It had 2 balconies which was really nice. The beds were very comfortable and the furniture was comfortable. The facility was large , had multiple pools and hot tubs and a tiki bar which was nice. It was off season, so during busy season I could see it probably get very crowded. The room was clean and nice , management responded. I would recommend this property in the future. The view was amazing from the living room.
We really enjoyed staying in this condo on this property! The view was AMAZING!!! Access to the beach was painless and quick. Close to so many fun attractions places to eat. Would definitely book again!
This condo was clean and in an excellent location. The two balconies provided great views and plenty of space for times for when not down on the beach.
