Overall we had a great stay! Condo was clean and had almost everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I would highly recommend replacing the cookware. It would also be nice to leave a starter pack of dish soap. Loved the pools and lazy river! Walk to the beach is far, but doable and nice once there.

Beautiful location

We were very pleased with the accommodations We were in a perfect location for beach, pool, fishing, and the lazy river. The staff that welcomed us and checked us in were very helpful and pleasant. The wording regarding sleeping accommodations, however, was somewhat confusing to us. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and are looking forward to returning soon.

Best Unit Ever!

My stay from start to finish was wonderful. This unit is the center complex of the resort, overseeing the beautiful bay and breathtaking lazy river and pool. This unit accommodated my families needs in it's entirety. It was clean and stocked with basic necessities. We enjoyed our stay so much that I plan on booking this exact unit again this year.

Pelican 503

My family and I stayed at Destin Beach & Bay Resort in Pelican 503 for a National Softball tournament and had the best time. The resort was very accommodating and there was so much to do, whether you wanted to go out or stay. There were plenty of restaurants within walking distance as well as plenty for the kids. We spent a majority of our time with our friends and family down at the lazy river and grilling by the pool, the kids LOVED the lazy river!

Great place!

Check in was super easy! If you arrive before checkin time you can still get in to use the pools and everything until your room is accessible. The room and view are just as they are advertised. Everything was very clean! Ray always answered questions quickly and when we wanted to stay an extra night, He called the front desk to arrange it for us! It was also fun to be able to walk out in the bay, we found several hermit crabs! We’re already talking about booking again for next year!

Wonderful Vacation

Kids loved the lazy river. The men enjoyed fishing off the dock and the pier was close by. I have arteritis so the beach was a little walk for me but I went at my own pace. I discovered that I could have driven to parking on the gulf side. So much to do around us. The rooms were clean and liked the tile floors. The pictures were accurate for the property. Great communication with verbo, host, and everyone. We will be coming back, hopefully with more of our family. Thanks for a wonderful Vacation.

PERFECT FOR EVERYONE!!

We were travelling for a karate competition with 3 adults and 4 teenagers. The condo offered plenty of room for everyone. It was beautifully decorated and very well maintained. The on-site amenities kept everyone occupied and happy during down time from competing. The location was perfect as well! It is within walking distance of the convention center, Wild Willys (arcades, go karts, putt putt, lazer tag, etc!!), and the Boardwalk which offers many restaurants to choose from in a super casual and "chill" atmosphere. Anything else you could possibly need while on vacation can all be found in a 5 to 10 min. drive! I would HIGHLY recommend #503 to ANYONE staying in this area!

Not one complaint

We stayed in Pelican 503. It was 7 of us and don't let the size fool you, yes it is compact but we were so comfortable and didn't feel cramp at all. The bunk room was surprisingly big and that allowed for plenty of space for the kids. The bathrooms were huge and the kitchen had everything we needed. When we arrived check in was a breeze and everyone was friendly. This resort has a little of something for everyone and everything is in walking distance. Driving is optional. You will not regret getting this condo. And the views are amazing! And we are so happy we picked the gulf side because it was much quieter than the bay side with the beach. So relaxing. I wouldn't change a thing!! Great great great!

We had a wonderful time. The condo needs some maintenance and more cleaning supplies.

When we got there we found the most of the dishes, flatware, and pots were put away dirty. We could not clean them because there was no dish soap, spurge, or dishcloth provided and only 2 packets of dishwasher soap provided. I suspect the people who stayed before us did not get any and didn't feel bad about leaving everything dirty. The glasses were too big for the dishwasher. The drawers in the dishwasher were rusted and had to move. The ice maker in the frig leaks when it makes ice and we got a big block of ice rather than cubs. The master bedroom has a moldy smell in it, and the toilet in the master bath makes strange noises all night. The pools and beaches were wonderful and we found plenty to do on the property.

Nice property, lazy river was too cold

We enjoyed the stay at the condo, and it was really nice. It would have been nice to have at least 1 or 2 complimentary coffees for the first morning instead of trying to find something right away after arrival. We were really looking forward to the lazy river, but it was really cold and we didn't/couldn't enjoy it. Overall, the condo was nice, quite and check-in/checkout was good.

Fall Break Getaway 21

We really enjoyed our stay at Destin West. It was a great Fall Break and vacation for the family. We really enjoyed the bayside and the Pelican. The only real issue we had was the master bed was very uncomfortable and outdated. However we enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back.

Very outdated.

The master bedroom mattress is atrocious. All the silverware had rust spots on it and was filthy. The dishes in the cabinet were dirty as was the coffee pot. The washer and dryer were so loud that you could not even carry on a conversation with them on. The description says it sleeps 8. There are towels for 4, at best. Put some money in unit and get a new cleaning crew. Have some pride in ownership. Great location, great pools. How much can a mattress and silverware cost?

Lazy River was Awesome

The condo was nice. The walk to the beach was a little further than I thought it would be when I booked the condo, but it’s not an impossible trek. You have to leave the property building to walk to another building, get into an elevator go to the 2nd floor, then walk across the bridge, go down an elevator and walk through a different complex before making to the beach. On the 2nd day my vehicle was broken into in the parking garage. I recognize the property owner has ZERO control over this, however I felt it necessary to share because it did impact my feeling of security while at the condo. The Sheriff’s office admitted there were multiple break ins that morning into vehicles, but unfortunately even though there is a sign hanging at the elevator lobby in the parking deck saying there is video surveillance….there is only 1 camera and it’s pointed at the elevator lobby, not the parking garage. My friends and I enjoyed the lazy river…..definitely the best part. Overall we had a good trip.
