Notes
- The Track in Destin has several go-cart tracks, bungee jumping, kiddie rides and coin-operated amusements. Big Kahunas is a water park and has a mini-golf course. Kids will like Fat Daddy's with its coin-operated machines. Ft. Walton Beach, a few miles away, has The Gulfarium, a marine park with shows and exhibits. Baytowne Wharf, about 5 miles from the house, is a family fun spot with restaurants, boutiques, nightclubs, amusements, a kid's playground and fireworks several nights a week during the summer. The area is full of restaurants, from Micky D's to fine dining. Lots of pizza, sushi, oyster bars and seafood. You may wish to rent a street-legal golf cart for running to/from the beach. A street-legal cart can be used on any street with speed limits of 35 mph or under, must obey all traffic laws and must be parked in our garage when at the home. Search for Pelican's Elbow website for links to restaurants, water sports, cart rentals, fishing, entertainment and shopping.

Great Family Spot!
We had a fabulous time! The house is really well equipped if you have a family. Board games, beach and pool toys.
Glad you had a good time. You are most welcome to come back to Pelican's Elbow for a future vacation.
Perfect Vacation
Great, clean home with a perfect pool close to a private (but shared) beach. Everything needed was furnished, except for food. *hint: Bring your own spices.
Beds are very firm and if you’re picky about your pillow, bring your own.
Home is close to everything!
The owner is a jewel. Easy to contact and just a nice guy in general. Looking forward to next year!
Thanks for staying at Pelican's Elbow and taking good care of the property. I hope to be your host on a future vacation.

About Ronald Larsen
This property is managed and maintained by the owner. I try to provide everything you need for your beach vacation. I live in the Destin area and am on call if any problems arise. I take pride in this property and work hard to make it an enjoyable, clean, well-maintained vacation location.
Ronald Larsen purchased this House in 2005
Why Ronald Larsen chose Miramar Beach
The Pelican's Elbow is a beautiful, well maintained home in a gated beach community. Destin is a family-oriented beach vacation destination, with one of the nicest white sand beaches in the country. Our area has a small-town feel, with lots of shopping and entertainment.
What makes this House unique
The Pelican's Elbow has one of the largest private pools in the community, in a fenced-in back yard. The pool is 'L-shaped,' 28-1/2 feet long by 9-13 feet wide (not heated). Best of all, the pool is all yours – no sharing with the neighborhood or a condo association. Perhaps you are back from an afternoon at the beach, or it’s after dinner – the pool is a great place for the kids (and adults) to enjoy themselves without the need to organize an expedition. You'll have a nice patio beside the pool with a picnic table and gas grill. And there is a good size fenced back yard with several trees (lemon, banana, pomegranate) and tropical landscaping. After a long day of enjoying yourself, get a great night's sleep on the top quality memory foam mattresses throughout the home.
