Enjoyed my stay here! Loved the tiki bar next to the beach with drinks and order food. My real favorite part is the resort had enough carts available to unload and load your car! Little things in life!

Great stay

We had a great time. This is our fourth year to visit Destin and we stayed at Pelican Beach each time. This was our favorite room. All of the rooms have been very nice but we really enjoyed this unit and its location. It over looks the front pool and ocean.

Great beach spot!

This condo was very clean and had all the basic necessities The location was great, over looking the pool, hot tub and beach. The few things that could be better would be the bunk bed and pull out mattresses upgraded and maybe update the furniture. All in all though a great vacation!.

July vacation

We had a great time here. Condo was nice and spacious. The only things I would suggest is a washer and dryer. I spent a lot to be there for a week, I had to do laundry every day and pay extra for that. And maybe the check out time later. But other than that, we truly had a great vacation! Condo was decorated and had a very welcome feeling

Umbrella beach

The condo we stayed in was very clean and comfortable..however the condo was not our reason for coming here. Our reason for coming to Destin wast the beach. I say to anyone who wants a great beach experience do not come here. The entire beach in front of the property is riddled with endless rented chairs and umbrellas which causes the beach to be extremely hot and overly crowded. Had a great honeymoon because I love my husband but will never return to this property.

Pelican Beach Resort

The place was overpriced. The apartment Is old with old furniture ( it’s not like the picture) We couldn’t use the drawers because they smell bad. One of the towel rods kept falling down , there were only 4 pillows when it said it’s for six people. The queen sofa bed didn’t have the top bed sheet. And one of the bathroom didn’t have a cabinet or a shelf . The beach and the sea are incredible.

Property was “So So”

We come to Destin regularly and enjoy the various properties. This property was not clean when we arrived. Old/ used towels still hung from the shower door, food left in freezer, etc. The master bedroom tv was very dated and did not work. The property management service said they would address these issues but never did. Disappointing.

Nice location

The condo was as it appeared in the pictures, except the rug in the living room was dirty and the bedroom carpet was filthy. Both easy fixes for the landlord. The kitchen was well-stocked with nice dishes and many small appliances. The towels were very nice and the bed and linens comfortable. I liked the laundry basket in the closet. The light in the living room was broken and the light in the kitchen was cracked. Loved the view from the balcony. There is easy beach access with mikes to walk. The beach was beautifully white fine-sanded. There are many places to walk to and the town of Destin is delightful. I would rent this unit again. I have pictures if you want.

1st Destin visit

The resort itself was very nice. The pools were big and conveniently located around the property. The resort was not far from most places we wanted to go. The condo itself was on the 2nd floor, which was super nice. If we didn't want to wait for one of the 4 elevators, it was only one floor up to take the stairs. The room was right across from the coin laundry room, which made it easy access to do laundry. The tiki shack was between the 2 largest pools, and offered drinks and great food from the onsite cafe. Prices weren't terrible. Our balcony overlooked one of the pools and was a perfect view of the ocean. The beach is literally steps from the pool. Parking was easy at the resort as well with security to let only residents onto the property as you pulled in. The condo was furnished with plenty of things in the kitchen. Appliances were updated. Only recommendation would be for some of the pots and pans to be replaced, and the deck furniture to be updated. Nothing though that made this not a great stay.

Destin Family Reunion

When we rolled out the hide a bed we decovered it was broken and unusable and had to be replaced; but it took management two days to do that. Then the microwave didn't work because a new breaker was needed. We had family staying at another resort and the plan was for them to come visit. But there were twelve family members and the Pelican Beach Resort only allows two guests. If I had know that before hand, I would have found another resort. One of the toilet paper holders was missing and when I went to the front desk I was told that this was not their responsibility.....PLEASE A very nice resort, overall, but too many problems propped up that should have been handled before we arrived. Management admitted that they knew the hide a bed was broken, but they had not addressed the problem. I won't be returning to Pelican Bay Resort

Getaway

We came to the condo it seemed good, however; around the outsides are roaches in the hallways. The beds were very uncomfortable. The pull out mattress was very thin and lumpy. Ended up changing to sleeping on the actual sofa. The hallway beds were hard and the king size mattress was very springy. The umbrella situation in the beach was ridiculous. You have to pay for Pelican beach resort umbrella and chairs (even though they are sold out) if you bring your own umbrella and chairs - good luck you are about 6 rows back and have no view of the water; which is why we go to the beach! Very crowded resort and the elevators are very, very slow. Kitchen table has a screw on the floor that needs to be tightened which causes the table to wobble. The side table by the sofa is also loose and wobbly. I can honestly say we will not be returning to this resort!

Ideal family getaway

We loved our time at Pelican Beach! It fit our family of 3 perfectly. It was convenient when it was busy to only have to walk down one flight of stairs. If the poolside restrooms had lines a mile long, we just went up the stairs to the room. We rented beach chairs everyday that comes with a server for all your food and drink needs. It’s perfect for when you are having fun in the water but need to eat. We spent many days at the pools and many nights throwing the football around on the beach. We enjoyed seeing a pod of dolphins every morning off the balcony. There IS a washer dryer less than 50ft from the room. A detail I would’ve loved to know ahead of our trip. Overall, if you have a smaller family this is the best condo option at Pelican Beach Resort and I hope we’ll return soon!

Awesome family beach vacation

We had a great week at Pelican Beach resort. Overall condo # 203 provided all we needed for the week. We Could’ve used more pillows. We had an issue with the drain in the shower but the manager took care of it right away I having a maintenance worker come up to fix it. The location of the resort is fantastic. Being so close to the white sandy beach was awesome. We loved the amenities of the resort especially the hot tub, pools and tiki bar. We highly recommend this resort when going to Destin.
