Great place to stay!
The only problem we had here were the elevators. They had all of them fixed in a couple days. The condo itself had everything we need. There was plenty of space and the view of the beach was perfect!

Gulf Front Gratitude
This well-appointed, immaculately clean condo was just what we needed for a getaway.
The Pelican Resort has thought of it all. Indoor outdoor pool for rain, an even a second outdoor pool. Lovely hot tubs, all right in the heart of Destin.
Family of four stayed for a week. We loved the direct view of the ocean. Multiple days we could see the dolphins swimming and the pelicans feeding on ocean fish from our balcony. We loved being able to just step outside the building and be directly on the beach. The kids loved the multiple pools onsite. Also the tiki bar and cafe onsite was a nice perk and made quick snacks or drinks easy to get while staying on the beach.
Condo had the comfiest bed! Everything you need. Loved the pool and location to the beach. Quick uber to anywhere. Parking was available which is great. Destin was a lovely town - we enjoyed ourselves! Thank you for everything.

Enjoyed my vacation. We had so great view of the ocean. The resort was nice and clean
This was a very nice property! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The view was amazing! The furnishings were all really nice and stocked with everything that we needed. The owner was very prompt and helpful when responding to my questions. The view from the balcony was amazing!
This condo was very clean, a great location, great pools for kids & easy access to beach. This was our first time at this location and we would recommend to any friends and family. We will be staying with this owner again. Only hint for families is to bring additional bath towels if staying for longer than a few days with 4 or more people.

We loved it
We really enjoyed the stay. Room is great, actually one of the few places which the room is as good as the photons they post online. The view is out of this world.
The property was very clean, secure, and well taken care of. Look forward to future trips.

Beautiful condo for our vacation!!
We had a perfect week in Destin FL. Beautiful condo, was perfect. Sitting on balcony could see dolphins swimming and they came up really close to the beach. Excellent condo for a perfect family vacation!! Book it, you wont be sorry. Bilhan family is a great host!
We loved our stay at pelican beach resort. The condo was undergoing some renovations that created some construction noise but the owner was kind enough to move us to another unit that still had an amazing beach view. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Beautiful Condo, Great View
Beautiful Condo, comfortable bed. Great view. many fun dolphin sightings during our stay. Had a problem, but owners were easy to reach and very kind and gracious in quickly resolving issue. We enjoyed our stay there very much!
This was the perfect place and location for us. We really enjoyed this condo. The 10th floor is not too high and not too low. Beachfront views are amazing. The resort itself was easy to navigate. We rarely waited long for an elevator -- there are 4 -- though some guests told us there were high traffic times for the elevators we never experienced that. We could be on the beach in minutes. We love that the resort has a beachfront bar & grill and the waitress would come to our umbrella/chair spot and take orders for drinks, food, etc which is a nice perk. There was no noise that bothered us; very quiet at night. This unit is a couple doors down from the elevator which was nice also. The furnishings were pleasant, appealing and well kept overall. The bed slept very well. There are two full bathrooms which was nice as well. We would love to return and stay in this condo again in the future. Communication from the owner was excellent as well.
Our condo was nice, but ready for some updates based on the price we paid for the unit. Two of the beds were covered in sand upon arrival and so was the floor throughout. I changed the bedding and swept to start our vacation. Unit manager did offer to come rectify, which was awesome, but we were ready to get our vacay started.
As for the complex overall, the number of units is not optimal for the amount of available beach. Looking off the balcony everyday meant looking at a sea of umbrellas and chairs that you have to pay the resort for. Unless you are in the front row of chairs, you do not get to enjoy an ocean view. Personal set ups are required to be all the way in the back of the beach.
The tiki hut line was always long with no shade. We skipped the tiki hut often simply because of the wait time.
The service elevator was down all week, so cleaning and maintenance crews took a lot of the available space in the main 4 elevators. 2 of the 4 main elevators were also down at least 2 days. Needless to say, the wait time for elevators was almost as bad as the tiki hut line.
The dryer on our floor is a fire hazard. After an hour, my clothes were still very wet, and I noticed the lint trap was missing. I had to fish out our socks and underware from the opening, along with other people's missing items.
Description and photos are exactly what you will get. Except pictures cannot do justice to the view. Upon check in the unit was clean enough to walk barefoot and not have sand immediately on your feet. Which is impressive. Communication with property owner was great , there wasn’t an umbrella however one was purchased and delivered to us. Location is great , walkable to pankakery, peppitos, big kahuna , Winn Dixie . Highly recommend. I will be staying here again. I didn’t spent much time at either of the pools because I was on the beach all day. Set up wasn’t a hassle

About the host
Hosted by Destin Beach Front
We are a family of four and we love to travel. Our first choice is to stay in a condo where we can cook, relax and spend time together as a family. Convenience is a big factor for us since we have two children. There are plenty of activities around for all ages and many shops are conveniently located (Whole foods, Walmart, outlet mall to name a few).
Why they chose this property
In the heart of Destin, on the beach, in the desirable Pelican Beach Resort. Renovated, new & clean condo with amazing direct ocean views.
