The resort was incredible so many pools so many hot tub, tubs, and right on the beach. The fishing pier was fun for the kids, especially in the evening fishing and seeing all the mammals. Location was perfect so much to do walkable to restaurants and the aquarium. The beach had the most beautiful sand and water.

This place was absolutely perfect for our family! We booked it because of the amazing pool area for the kiddos & adults and it was an added bonus that it was only 10 minutes from the baseball fields where my son had his tournaments.If I could give the owner 10,000 stars, I would! She was incredibly communicative, helpful, and even took the time to recommend places for us to visit during our stay. Her hospitality truly made the experience even better.We had a wonderful time and will definitely be returning in the future. Highly recommend!

Relaxing gem in the middle of vacation chaos

This condo is located just a few miles from great restaurants, entertainment and beaches. The lazy river is a plus when you’re not wanting to leave property. The kitchen is well equipped to cook and eat in. The beds were quite comfortable and with blankets around, it was easy to nap on the couch watching our kids play outside.

Summer Vacation

Excellent for Kids. Nice walk to beach to get your steps in. Lots of place to eat and do things without driving. Condo had everything we needed. Palm trees are nice and shade lazy river but obstruct view of bay somewhat.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 June 2023
Thank you for your review. Isn’t it fabulous to have so much to do within walking distance? This year, the very full summer foliage of the palms narrowed our view of the bay. The next trim should open it up again. Those shady palms do a great job of shading along that lazy river. We welcome the opportunity to host you again.

We absolutely loved our stay at Pelican 303! We’ve been coming to Destin for years, and this was hands down our best experience yet. From start to finish, our host Virginia was phenomenal—so kind, responsive, and incredibly communicative, which made everything stress-free and smooth for our family.The condo was spotless and stocked with everything we could possibly need. It truly felt like a home away from home—no last-minute trips to the store, no forgotten essentials. Everything was there waiting for us.The location was perfect with easy access to the beach and pool, and the on-site staff was warm and welcoming. They kept the entire property clean, safe, and family-friendly at all times.If you’re visiting Destin with family, look no further. This is the spot. Thank you, Virginia, for making our stay so memorable—we’ll definitely be back!
