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 17th 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' Noce travertine tile, new LVP floors in the bedroom, a queen sleeper sofa, and much more. There are five other condos available one floor above 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.

The condo was situated perfectly as the sun never shown directly into the room making it hot and having to close the drapes and miss out on the view. Since you are on the 17th floor, you're able to see how far the sand bar goes out as the water is crystal clear. The unit kept a constant comfortable temperature even though the heat index was 110 on average daily! Would we stay here again? Absolutely!! What are YOU waiting for??

Greg and Missy were very respinsive throughout the whole process and easy to work with. The property was easy to find and the check in was easy. The view from the balcony was great along with balcony seating. The pool(s) and hot tubs were nice. The bed was comfortable the kitchen was updated and set up with various pots and pans, coffee maker, keurig, toaster etc. There were also some boogie boards and items to use at the beach, in the closet. There were a few things that needed attention which I let the owners know about. We had 4 adults, which worked, but I would have preferred a 2 bedroom to allow for more privacy since the bedroom is on the non beach side and the orher couple was on the couch by the beach side. The elevators are close by the unit and pretty fast. And the garbage shoot not far from the room either.

The property is very nice and in a good place, sits back from the road with good security. The tiki bar is really nice and convenient. The room is nice but it’s a rental and you can easily tell, we had a few problems but the host addressed them. The entrance door could use a little work but that’s my biggest complaint. We have rented here a couple of times which we wouldn’t do if we didn’t like the place very well. The beach gets a little crowded because it’s such a big resort but the beach and ocean are wonderful. They also have pretty good pillows which is unusual.

Perfect beach view! Balcony was perfect to start the day listening to the waves, reading a book with a cup of coffee. Check-in at the front desk was smooth. Condo was clean. Only thing missing was tissues but that was an easy pickup at the grocery store. Both pools were nice. Being able to book beach chairs and umbrella in advance was convenient.

This is our second time at Pelican and both times we stayed in this condo. Love the spot and the view. Hosts are great and the condo is as advertised. If I had any complaints, there is only one small hottub open after dark, and even though towels are not allowed to hold a pool chair, everyone does. No one is at the pool at 10 AM, yet there was a towel on every chair. The resort could do a better job enforcing the rules.

Overall experience at Pelican condo was great. It was well maintained and had great security. Three different full-size pools and a smaller "hot pool" provided plenty of access. The condo and room matched the listing. The view from the 17th floor of the Gulf was wonderful.Check in was no problem and plenty of carts are provided. This was off-peak so not sure how a Saturday in summer will be. The unit was as advertised but the decor doesn't match the beach vibe with very heavy, dark furniture. That's just personal taste, I suppose.But we were there for the outdoors and overall, the experience was wonderful. Would consider another visit for sure if returning to Destin.
