What this means during your stay: - Closed: garage ramp to upper level, tennis/pickleball courts, and EV chargers - Possible intermittent closures: sections of the covered garage for minor repairs/safety
Parking & access: - Plan to use open/available areas of the covered garage as directed by onsite signage/security.
EV drivers: - Onsite EV chargers will be unavailable during the project. Please plan alternate charging options in the area.
- Also, 1 of the 5 elevators will be temporarily out of service due to an elevator modernization upgrade currently underway. The remaining elevators will continue to operate as normal.
**Important: Guests will be asked to complete ID verification through Truvi, a third-party provider. Truvi will contact guest via email and/or text. Guest will also have the option to choose between two damage protection plans for their stay: a $10 security deposit or a $35 damage waiver, both non-refundable. A damage protection plan is needed to complete your booking. Please make your selection before your stay to ensure a smooth and seamless check-in.

We loved our stay. The hosts were very responsive to questions and kind enough to allow us early check in. The condo was beautiful with incredible views. We will definitely come back!
We loved staying at Pelican Beach. Everything was amazing!! The process from the beginning to the end was effortless. Condo was excellent, clean and organized. You couldn’t ask for a better host. Definitely would book this condo again!! Thanks for a memorable vacation!!!!!
Very nice, great views, beach was great. GREAT communication with owners making sure everything was good. The elevator near the rental was off and on if it worked but definitely not a deal breaker. You will enjoy your stay here.
The 2 bedroom was perfect for us and we enjoyed the Pelican Beach Resort property. Chair rental was smooth. Beds were comfortable and the unit was clean and organized well.
Upscale property on the beach with beautiful view. Perfect property for 2 couples or a family. On the beach and near restaurants but kitchen and dining area to allow you to eat in as well.
Nicely decorated / fun / upbeat vibe very welcoming. Great place and well run. Property managers were very helpful and accessible!!! Highly recommend!!
Owners were very friendly, accommodating, and responsive. Pelican Beach Resort was well set up for a family and had eating options on site. Great beach, although the front of the beach was blocked off for rental resort chairs (common with other complexes too). Nice view of the ocean from the balcony. Overall very pleased with our stay and will be back.
The condo was beautifully-decorated, sparkling clean, and very up to date. The owners were so responsive, and went above and beyond in making the condo comfortable. The view was spectacular too. We hope to book it when we return with the family next year!
We arrived a little after check in. Process was simple. Condo was everything we were expecting. The beds were super comfortable, view was amazing. The property manager was great with communicating and answering all of our questions. Everyone in our family had fun and can't wait to go back!!!
Resort run down elevators broken down. Out of many things. Lots of cockroaches in our condo.

Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention Dawn. We will bring resort related issues to the attention of the Resort HOA immediately. A cockroach issue is of course unacceptable and was addressed immediately upon notification to us. Unfortunately, insects in Florida are an ongoing issue, but we are increasing our diligence after hearing this complaint. We strive for excellence and take every review extremely serious. Our goal is for every guest to enjoy their stay carefree. Please accept our sincere apologies and we wish you all the best.
We had no trouble entering and getting signed into the property. The unit was pristine and had a great view of down the beach and the main drag. The bed in the master was so soft. I needed that mattress. We really enjoyed our stay. I’m anti-beach service so that was a bit of a bummer. If you didn’t pay for beach service you had to sit maybe 150’ from the beach and only had a small view of the water. We made the best of it though.
We were nervous about going hearing about hurricane Ian coming but so Thankful we went. I have to add that I got ahold of the owners with our worries and with no hesitation they got back to us and went above and beyond calling the locals and getting the info that we needed. The weather in Destin was still perfect to us. It was a wonderful place to stay. Everything was clean and the view from the room was absolutely awesome! The beach was outstanding! We will definitely book to stay here again!
My wife and 3 kids had a great week in destin. The property is clean and nice and beautiful views from 19th floor . Elevators were fast but no AC so a little hot. Beach chairs and umbrella are 100$/day for family if 5 so we stayed at pool and walked to the beach.. would definitely recommend location and Barry was very attentive to every question.
My friends & I really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful condo, very clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Plenty towels and the beds were very comfortable. Awesome place to stay!
We had a couple of hiccups and the weather wasn't great but the condo was lovely and spacious. The elevator was not always working so the secret way up didn't really work for us but it was nice when it did 🙂 Would recommend 👍🏼
