We had a great stay and Alice was very responsive to our questions. Unit was clean and everything was as advertised. It was nice having the small washer/dryer in the unit. View was amazing as shown! We would definitely stay here again when in Destin! Getting in and out of the property is a little tricky with all the traffic but a great location.

The condo itself was absolutely prefect. The beautiful beachfront balcony was awesome! The host was great, helpful and easy to get in touch with. The issues my family had were with the resort itself. They do not have enough elevators for the property size and elevators have no air conditioning. Also the security around the pool area are extremely strick. Kids couldn't even play with a ball in the pool.

Chad M.

Just an OK experience at Pelican Beach

The check in process is very slow between being informed of room readiness at the last possible time listed and no access of the limited 8 luggage carts that were available among all the other guest jocking for spots up front to unload vehicles. Only the main lobby elevators were in operation which further delayed any movement throughout the complex. During hours from 0900 to 2100 it would often take 20 minutes to get into an elevator and stop between multiple floors which serviced no guest. Also, there is no beach service offered with the units and the company providing service on the beach routinely sold out so i would plan ahead a reserve before your vacation.
