Over all the resort and condo are decent. The condo itself is very outdated and looks like the bare minimum is being done to keep it rent able. The resort is fine. The elevators broke once and if u don’t rent a chair for 50 dollars a day u can’t sit by the water. Also it’s a nightmare getting across traffic. The condo is right at the pool so every morning at 6 the clean the pool with a blower and it woke me up every single day. Destin was a complete let down wouldn’t recommend Destin. But the condo is good for its price

Pelican Beach Resort

The condo unit was poorly maintained. Unit was only partially painted "unprofessionaly". There was no extra bedding (pillows, sheets or blankets) furniture was outdated and worn. Beach had restricted access with multiple rows of rental chairs. "50% unoccupied" Personal owned chairs had to be setup behind the rental chairs with extremely limited view and access to shoreline. Pools and amenities at the resort were well maintained. Elevators were being renovated which required longer wait times.

Owner clearly has no pride in ownership

This place is completely outdated & it is very clear that the owner does not care. There was sand all over the floor when we got there after it had just been cleaned. We had no way to clean it up. Towel rack kept falling off the wall. Toilet in master bath is not mounted to the floor, pain job in the entire place is ridiculous. Only positive thing I can think of about this condo is the location although the elevators near it was down so we had to walk far to the other elevators.

Decent place to stay

The only major complaint I had staying here was that the AC is blocked from going below 72 degrees. Some of us didn't sleep well because it was hot throughout the night. The owner never responded back to me when I asked if we could override the thermostat and make it cooler inside. Other than that, the place was about what I expected with the price being lower than all the others. If they AC was colder I would definitely stay here again.

Needs lots of TLC

The location was great but the place needs to be totally updated. It was rundown and looked dingy and dirty. We couldn’t get the tv in the queen room to work. It was hung above the closet with the cords and cables just hanging there. Very sketchy. The pillows were totally flat and we had to go buy new ones. The dryer took forever to dry towels and the door lock was totally jacked up even after the property manager tried fixing it. It was apparent that this property has received no attention in a very long time. On a positive note, the property manager did respond to any and all correspondence.

Good resort, bad condo

Our experience started with walking in to a dirty condo. The owners father was the cleaning crew and 1- was extremely slow, and 2- did a horrible job. 1.5 hours later (past check-in time) the condo was ‘ready’. The floor was never mopped, the master bathroom continued to have a weird smell, the patio furniture was dirty and very crappy. The location of the condo is right above the indoor/outdoor pool. It is very loud! The pool stays open until 10pm and it’s noisy all day until then. The location of the condo in relation to everything else in Destin is awesome. Great facilities and being on the ocean was wonderful. We would stay at Pelican Bay again, but never in that condo again, nor will I ever rent from them at any of their other owned properties again. Very unprofessional and very overpriced for what we received. Overall, look into other properties here, not with this owner.

Not enjoyed the stay with depressing condo for the price i paid

Condo is really old and not renovated. I had a depressing feeling after checking in for the price i paid 512 per night. Beds are not comfortable at all, my kids had trouble sleeping on those beds. Also it is in 3rd floor very close to ground, so you wont enjoy the beach view much. The host communication was good and helped with early checkin and late checkout.

My only complaint was that it was very outdated and kinda dirty.. very old towels and the walls were super dusty and around the tv in the balcony room there was a dead bug lol (whatever ya know) besides the old feel and dust it was accommodating to what we wanted for a night.

Need some updates

The property is in a prime location . We love, pelican Beach resorts. The elevator close to the room was broke ,but it was only on the third floor so we just use the stairs. The three pools the hot tubs. Everything on this resort is great. The condo itself is not amazing though. The dishwasher was broken. Had some issues with the door at one point whoever cleaned did a horrible job when we got there. The bathroom smelled terrible. I had to mop it and wash the rugs. There was mildew on the shower curtain, one of the drawers is missing from the kitchen cabinet, the bathtub doesn’t drain well so you are definitely standing in water while you’re showering .it basically needs a little facelift . The rental is cheaper than a lot of the other ones, so if you’re willing to stand in water when you shower and look the other way at the other issues , might be the place for you. The owner has great communication and even offered us early check in .

Condo needs updates!!

The condo is at great location!! I just wish the owner pays more attention to the things that needs to be more updated, new towels, pillows and kitchen supplies . Also the front door lock needs to be replaced ASAP. This is my second time staying here and our family and I always have a great time.

Nice stay

It was a nice stay but there are not enough elevators for the amount of people with beach gear and check in carts! Had to wait 30 minutes to go down to the beach. And no room on beach for kids and toys due to chair rental taking up all the beach space at property!

Disappointed

The prior reviews talk about furniture and the cleanliness of the condo upon arrival. The beds are fine, the couches are fine, there were dirty sheets on the master so we washed them when we got there. The master shower drains poorly so we showered in several inches of water each day. The towels, bedding and pillows are horrible, looks like they were purchased at the Goodwill in Destin, I would bring your own. While the owners were shopping for towels, they missed out on pots and pans, so if you’re planning on cooking bring your own. There is silverware and dishes but knives are horrible. The biggest issue we had was when a couple came into the front door of the condo while we were watching TV. They were given our condo number and door code and when we reached out for a new door code I was told they couldn’t do anything about it and to “use the deadbolt.”

Great location, needs deep cleaned and repairs

The location is great, close to many things. The property is in need of some repair, especially the door handle and keypad. They were loose to the point of worry. The shower curtains were molded/mildew. They ask that you wash and dry the linens before you leave and the trash out, trash chute was just outside of the door by elevator. The pools were nice sized and didn’t get overcrowded. Was called as we arrived in Destin to be informed that the property would not be ready by check in time and we would need to wait. A little rough with the little one after a long drive.

Great location but needs a little help in cleaning service. Found 20 wrappers of Rice Krispie treats behind night stand, sock and other wrappers that look as if they been behind there for a few years.

Condo in Destin

Condo is in rough shape. Door handle is loose and door doesn't always close, condo could use a new face-lift. Furniture, beds, and blankets are stained and dirty. Floors, dishes, kitchen were sticky and dirty. Towels are old, smelly, and one had holes.. Condo has no broom. The outside of the condo (stairway and hallway could use a good cleaning)... We were not impressed!!
