Thank you for choosing Pelican Beach Resort 408 for your first trip to Destin. We're glad your experience was wonderful, and we look forward to hosting you again next year. Thank you for the five-star review.
The property was everything we expected. The unit was very clean. The host was extremely courteous and did not mind answering any questions I had. The view of the beach from the balcony was amazing. We did get a bit of a surprise when we were told we could order drinks and food from the outdoor tiki bar and have them delivered to us either by the pool or on the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for the wonderful review. We’re glad the unit met your expectations and that you found it very clean. It’s great our team could answer your questions and that you enjoyed the amazing balcony view. The tiki bar delivery is a nice perk - we're glad it was a fun surprise. We’d love to host you again and hope to welcome you back soon!
Thank you, Nicole! We're thrilled to hear you love Pelican Beach Resort and make it your summer tradition. We look forward to hosting you again next year!

Great view of Ocean from room balcony .close to plenty of attractions.code for door did not work when we arrived contacted host issue was solved within 5 min and we were in our room .only draw back was you have to rent beach chairs can't guarantee you will get a chair that has a good view of Ocean the chairs restrict your view because they line them up in rows real hard to get front row we purchased our own chairs from beach store and set behind the rental chairs with no good view

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back to Panhandle Getaways soon.
We had a great time. Close to attractions and restaurants. The only suggestion I could give is to make the pool by the beach to be adults only after 3PM.

Thank you for your review, Mary. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and the convenient location near local attractions and restaurants. We appreciate your thoughtful suggestion regarding pool hours, which are managed by the resort, and we’ll be sure to share your feedback with the appropriate team. It’s wonderful to know you had a great time overall.
The space looked exactly like the pictures and had a great view. Since it’s a lower-level unit, you are closer to one of the pools, so it could get a little loud at times. We loved having two bathrooms and the pull-out bed for extra space.The unit does not have laundry, but there is paid laundry on the floor. You do have to download an app to use it, and each load was 2.50. The host did provide a laundry pod, which was appreciated.Communication with the host through text was easy, and we liked the website with local information and freebies. We took advantage of the sunset dolphin tour and highly recommend it.We did have an issue with the entry code at check-in, but it was resolved quickly. A few small things could improve the stay - no scissors in the unit, dead batteries in one remote, and no tissues provided.We loved the ease of renting beach chairs and umbrellas onsite, but reserve them early because they go fast. The resort also has great food and drink options. The unit has a coffee maker that uses pods, but bring your own coffee supplies.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Thank you for the thoughtful review. We’re so glad the space matched the photos, you enjoyed the great view, and the layout with two bathrooms and the pull-out bed gave you the extra room you needed.
We’re happy to hear communication by text was easy, the local information was helpful, and you were able to enjoy the sunset dolphin tour during your stay. It’s also great to know you enjoyed the convenience of on-site beach chair and umbrella rentals, as well as the resort’s food and drink options.
Thank you for sharing the small details that could make the stay even better. We appreciate your notes regarding the entry code, remote batteries, scissors, and tissues, and we’re glad our team was able to resolve the check-in code issue quickly.
We appreciate you staying with us and are so glad you enjoyed your visit overall. We’d love to welcome you back again soon!
Thank you so much for the five stars! Hosting you was a pleasure, and we look forward to seeing you again!

Thank you for your feedback, Anna. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful view. We do schedule regular pest control at all of our properties, though from time to time, especially in Florida’s coastal climate, a palmetto bug may make its way indoors—often through an open door. While you did mention the issue, we weren’t aware that a service visit was needed; otherwise, we would have been happy to respond during your stay. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Our first property wasn’t ready so I called Panhandle Getaways where I spoke with Jamie who was very helpful and found a replacement. Within 30 mins we were happily in a new condo. Jamie was essential in making our stay the best possible. 10/10 would recommend!

Our door code did not work at 1st. Front desk would not help, because I booked via Vrbo . When I called Vrbo hold time over 15 minutes. No way to get ahold of anyone in a reasonable time . Also elevators slow and only 3 was working. A lot of floors for 3 elevators. Very clean room awesome views ! Great location.

Thank you for the review, Donna. We're so glad you enjoyed the unit itself. While we are not involved in the resort operations, we will share your feedback with the HOA. We do not staff the front desk employees, and we ask that guests reach us directly by calling the number we share in all guest materials. We're here to make sure your stay is as enjoyable as possible, and you can call or text us any time. We're available 24/7 :)
Condo was nice & spacious, bed was comfy. Was happy about finding a box fan & a standing fan in the bedroom closet as I sleep with a fan at home! Both pools have sun until about 2pm and then the condo next to it blocks the sun the rest of the day & to see the sunset you have to go to the beach, you can’t see it from your balcony. Tv in bedroom doesn’t get any channels, no guide or answers on how to get it fixed. No salt in salt shaker so I got some from a restaurant and left there in a drawer for the next visitors. Also, would have loved to have maybe one or two coffee pods to start off with, I bought some and left about 4 in the cabinet for the next guest as well. Overall it was a beautiful resort, view and room!

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Victoria! We're so glad you enjoyed the condo’s spacious layout, comfy bed, and thoughtful extras like the fans in the closet. It’s great to hear you found the resort beautiful and appreciated the view. We’re sorry the TV in the bedroom didn’t work as expected—we’ll make sure that’s addressed for future guests. Your notes are truly valuable and will help us continue enhancing the guest experience. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay!

SO DISAPPOINTED
I normally don’t complain but there are too many things on the list not too!
Water main break in the condo unit- water was off one full day- couldn’t use bathrooms in unit- couldn’t brush teeth- it shut off bathrooms by pool for the entire week- the rinse station coming off the sand for the entire week was closed.
The main pool was closed for two days
FRIDGE in unit FROOZE all the groceries - spent close to $400 that we had to toss a lot out
balcony chairs were gross
No washer/dryer in unit- coin Laundry only- but washer was broke all week!
No hooks anywhere in unit so we couldn’t even dry towels! Simple hooks everywhere would be so helpful if you didn’t have a dryer.
We couldn’t have guests over for the day at this location- my sister in law and her husband came over from orange beach and we had to pack up all kids sand stuff to go to a PUBLIC beach because they wouldn’t even let them in the parking lot
We took family photos on the last day on the beach- the front desk was nice and gave us replacement ones but we walked past a security guard on the way back into the hotel after and she yelled at us. It’s just my husband and I with our three young boys who have been there ALL week over the bracelet! Which I had the extras in my pocket bc I was behind him. It was absolutely ridiculous!!
Pelican Resort - we will NEVER stay there again. We have three young boys (8,6,4) and so many things went wrong while we were there!

Falsely advertised.
The pictures showed a beach view and listed photos of the balcony view of the sand and the beach. The actual view is of the pool which is nearly eye level with your view so you can’t enjoy the balcony, nor can you keep you curtains open as the other guests at the pool are looking directly into your condo. Falsely advertised. Otherwise, the condo setup is nice. It was not as clean as I would prefer, particularly the bathrooms. I cld see grime in places and cld see visible places that had not been cleaned. I wldnt even take a shower without shoes on.
