About this property

Pelican Perch - Private Pool, Direct Private Beach Access & Golf Cart Avail!!

Welcome to Pelican Perch!

4 bedroom, 2.5 bath luxurious beach house only 1/2 mile (2 minute drive or 10 minute walk) to the emerald waters and sugary white sands, with no roads to cross!! Located along Scenic 98 in the Miramar Beach community of Destin. Gulf Pines is a quiet hidden gem, tucked away from the crowds and offers private beach access and parking for Gulf Pines homeowners only, and their guest.

Conveniently located to a variety of family friendly dining, shopping and entertainment. The Silver Sands Premium Outlet is 1 mile and you’re minutes away from Destin Commons, Big Kahuna Water Park, The Village of Baytowne Wharf, Harbor Walk Village and much more. So many options, but so little time!

Start the mornings off by sipping coffee on the wrap around front porch while enjoying the quiet community of Gulf Pines. Tastefully decorated throughout, to include a fully equipped kitchen with premium appliances, gas stove, and granite counter tops. Connecting the living room, dining room (seats 8), and kitchen bar (seats 3), you will have no shortage of space, for a nice meal and good conversation. The living room comfortably seats 8 and has a large 70" flat screen TV viewable from both the living room and kitchen/bar. If you must do laundry while you are here, the large laundry room with a front load washer and dryer will make the job easier.

When you're not at the beach, you'll enjoy the spacious backyard, private pool 15x30 (heating option available) with outdoor dining, and pool loungers. We have both gas and a charcoal grill for convenience and preference. Pelican Perch offers all the comforts of home, but all the vacation amenities one would expect.

**** Pelican Perch is excited to announce we've added a new amenity for our guest; a brand new 6 seater golf cart as a rental option. Please email us for additional details.****

We enjoyed our stay at Pelican Perch. The home is comfortable for a family. We cooked in the kitchen (the oven is amazing! It’s a Cafe appliance!), swam in the large pool, and played games that were provided in the living room entertainment center. The golf cart was perfect to load up the beach gear and take the short drive to the private beach access. This was the best part! We really never had to leave the subdivision to get to the beach fun. The host was very quick to respond when we had simple questions. Great stay!

Beautiful home

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. Everything was clean and the property manager was quick to answer any questions. Close to the beach. Gulf cart is a must, making trips to the beach easy. Pool was very nice and house has a nice sized yard. Definitely would stay here again. Beach area was nice and not too busy. We were able to put up our canopy on the beach to allow for shade. Neighborhood is very nice and quiet.

We LOVED our stay at Pelican Perch! Everything was thought of in this new build! From the high end finishes to the well stocked kitchen & monogrammed towels, everything was perfect! Our kids loved the personalized sand buckets filled with goodies for them upon our arrival. The management was amazing & communicated with us so well from start to finish.

Meet all expectations.

We really enjoyed this property!! From the very beginning the owners had great communication. And they checked on us multiple times during our stay. They informed us of places to go for certain things. The house was awesome overall and the pool came in clutch when we didn't want to go to the beach. The private access to the beach was also worth it there was always spots available to set up and enjoy it without all the crowds.

Amazing Vacation House

Pelican Perch was better than expected. First, the pictures of the property are beautiful; but in person, the house is stunning. My whole family enjoyed staying there. It was an amazing house for all ages. The golf cart option is a must. It makes trips down to the beach very easy and convenient. Plus, it’s a nice way to see the community. The homeowners were wonderful throughout the entire process. Easy to contact and very hospitable. We will definitely stay at Pelican Perch again!

Beautiful house, everything we needed!

Our group of 9 (4 adults and 5 kids) really enjoyed our stay at Pelican Perch. The pool and house are beautiful and in excellent condition. Everything seemed like new! The house was fully stocked with all the amenities we needed, beds and pillows were comfortable, and we had plenty of space for all of us to eat and relax while at the house. They thought of everything needed to make our stay easy and relaxing. We enjoyed the gorgeous private beach, which we could walk or drive to easily. The owner was very responsive and assisted with any questions or needs we had promptly. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Positively (Pelican) Perfect

We have stayed at many, many VRBO properties, and this was by far one of the nicest homes we’ve rented! Everything in the home is BRAND NEW and no detail is left unnoticed! From a fully stocked kitchen to a fully stocked outdoor pool cabinet, our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location is great for shopping and dining, and the .05 mile walk to the beach is easy and relaxing! 10/10 stars and two enthusiastic thumbs up!! Thank you, Pelican Perch!!

Perfect Perch

We loved this property and especially enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and friendly residents. Easy access to private beach and also enjoyed pool at house. Shopped and dined in Destin in spite of the crowds and traffic. Great choices also near the property. We also enjoyed massages at The Hilton. Great day snapper fishing with Backcoumtry Outfitters limiting out with our guide Jeremy! Grandsons enjoyed parasailing and the go carts and arcade/amusement park in Destin. Kiley was very helpful and prompt with questions I had prior to arrival. It was a wonderful week making memories at this beautiful home!

Great vacation spot

We really enjoyed our stay at this home! It’s a great location just outside of Destin , so it’s a little more quiet. The home was very clean with amazing finishes, the kitchen was stocked well with all the things you would need, and we really enjoyed the outside spaces and the front porch!!! The pool area has adequate seating and it was nice to have some yard space for yard games. The home is somewhat of a walk to the beach (carrying all the beach essentials) so it was nice to have the golf cart as an option to get there much easier. Also we loved that we didn’t have to worry about parking it at the beach , there was always parking available. The owners and management of these property are great , for the most part prior to our trip they were great at getting back to us with our questions about the property, and during our stay they were very prompt with any communication we had with them! We would definitely recommend this property to others!!! Destin is an amazing vacation spot!

Would 100% recommend Pelican Perch

Spring break 2023 was a delightful week for our family. When we arrived, we found Pelican Perch was just as described in the listing. It is a lovely house in an adorable neighborhood. The golf cart and private beach access made our many trips to the beach a breeze. The heated pool was so nice especially a few days when the air temperature was a bit cool for staying at the beach all day. The kitchen has top of the line appliances and we were able to cook meals with ease. We had abundant space to spread out with our family of 5. The location was perfect for us as we enjoy spending time at the beach but you are also so very close to an abundance of shopping, food, and entertainment. Our #1 priority when traveling is finding a place that is truly cleaned properly. Pelican Perch met our high expectations of cleanliness. If we ever travel to Miramar Beach FL again we will be staying at the Pelican Perch.
