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.

Girls trip

Beautiful building right on the beach! Clean and well maintained building and pool areas ! Good for adults and families with children. Onsite food but close to lots of stores for groceries and souvenirs. Lots of great places to go out to eat. Uber and taxis and lyft readily available and reasonable prices if you’re not renting a car. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Alice is an Incredible Host

I can’t say enough great things about Alice. This is our second time going to Destin to this property, and we look forward to going back next year. There was a mixup at the front desk when we checked in (100% no fault on Alice’s part). But Alice helped us work through that and make sure we had another enjoyable, memorable time in Destin. The views are incredible! Wonderful, local restaurants. And the home itself is very clean, cozy, and inviting.

Paradise on Earth

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the Pelican Beach resort and our condo. Beach is incredible, white soft sand, emerald water (we could see the fish swimming around our feet), calm waters! I am used to Virginia Beach which is much rougher. Loved the Tiki Bar and the convenience. We will be back! See you soon!
