Great views and property!

Right on the beach as advertised! Reserved parking spot in the garage. The place was clean and well kept up. The owners even let us come a couple of hours early because they didn't have anyone checking out that same day, which was very kind of them and let us have extra beach time. Only thing, not a complaint per se, is the bed is firm, not soft, so be aware with your bed preferences. Pillows were very comfortable though, and so was the rest of the furniture. Great visit!

Clean & Comfortable

We stayed 10 days. If the bed is important to you, this has it! Starter supplies like TP and PT were nice. Be sure to plan a groc trip or delivery after day 1 though. Beach towels are a nice touch. Property staff were very kind and helpful if we needed anything. Beach service was such a plus! Great stay! If you're on the fence on whether to choose this unit, dont hesitate.

Could have been better for the price

Our stay was great and we loved the area and beach view. The kitchen was well stocked. Upon check in we got a message with a pdf saying text with any issues upon arrival or anything reported after leaving would be on us. We went around and took pictures of paint chips, mold on the shower curtain, and a few minor things like the previous person or cleaner put tissues on the smoke detector with band aids as tape and it was there still when we arrived. Honestly, I was willing to look past that and not let the little mold upset me at the beginning of our vacation. We showered in the other shower and let them know. No response at all. I still was not going to let that bother me I assume owners are busy they’ll reply when they can. Never got one at all the whole stay. I text upon check out and let them know we were all out (a few hours early). No response. Later I get messages through VRBO with images of damages to another unit telling me these were reported broken and she sent their policy. It wasn’t even the unit we stayed in. She sure was quick to message me about damages but never acknowledged my text about mold. I even asked if she got my text about the mold when pointing out that wasn’t our unit and she said she remembers her husband sending something to the cleaners about a shower curtain. She did apologize about the mix up but for the price we paid getting no response about the shower curtain the whole week and then seeing they are able to communicate just didn’t sit right.

I have never stayed at this location when visiting the beach. This was a calm weekend with 2 of my dear friends. This condo/beach was so chill and less crowded than others that I have stayed in the past. We really enjoyed ourselves. We also Loved the idea of the donated pool float pile.

About the host

Hosted by Courtney & Phil Howey

Host profile image
Native to Colorado, We were looking for a bit of beach to call our own. We were first introduced to Pelican Isle in 2021 when friends invited us to stay with them and check out their beach front condo. Our boys at the time were 10 and 12 and our daughter 4. Not sure what we had in store, we quickly learned that Okaloosa Island is a FANTASTIC place to take our children. We could enjoy the quiet of the beach with out spending a fortune. The proximity of Pelican Isle to Destin and the Panhandle is one of many reasons we chose to make Pelican Isle our second home.

What makes this property unique

Pelican Isle Resort is a clean, quiet, and well-kept condo complex that is centrally located on beautiful Okaloosa Island in Fort Walton Beach. Just minutes from Destin (approximately 7 miles), and a short 15-20 minutes from the great Fort Walton Airport (VPS) where Allegiant, Delta, Southwest, American, & United Airlines all fly.
