Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beach views from the balcony and had a great time at the pool.
We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Pictures are accurate. Check in and check out was seamless. Owner very responsive. Good location. Pools were great. Food is actually good at onsite cafe. Maintenance was fast when needed. Security was an added plus! Unit is on the side but the view is still great!
Check in process was easy. Unit was as described. The first couple days we had bug issues in the unit. The owner sent a property manager to spray, after that no issues. The closet had an array of helpful items such as beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. The view from the balcony was amazing, can watch the sunrise. Beach access was easy and convenient. Pools, hot tub, sauna, and fitness room were all very nice.
Very beautiful condo. Great view, clean & comfortable. The kitchen had everything you would need. Host was very responsive when we had a question. Very happy with our stay there. Nothing negative to say about this place.
Great location. Beds are super soft and comfy. Nice ocean view from balcony and harbor view from front. Grill area is a huge bonus. We enjoyed the hot tubs daily and it was nice to have chairs on the beach each day even though it was the winter months.
It was awesome!! We come to Destin for Thanksgiving every year to spend time with our children and grands. This place has everything we needed. It was clean, comfortable, homey, & peaceful with a beautiful ocean view and beach access. Hopefully we can rent the same unit next year.
We had high hopes for this stay, but unfortunately our experience did not meet expectations.Upon arrival, there were several cleanliness and maintenance issues, including mold and mildew on the shower curtain, an unclean refrigerator, and a dirty coffee maker. The kitchen sink was not functioning properly, and there were unfinished repairs in the closet area.We contacted the host and shared photos. While some concerns were partially addressed, several issues remained unresolved during our stay.Additionally, the ceiling fan made loud, disruptive noises throughout the night, which significantly affected our ability to rest.Due to the ongoing issues and lack of full resolution, we made the decision to leave one day early.I would strongly encourage the host to address these concerns to ensure a better experience for future guests.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet expectations.
We want to assure you that both maintenance and housekeeping visited the unit several times during your stay to investigate the concerns raised. They carefully inspected the fan, sink, and other items mentioned, but were unable to identify any issues at the time of inspection. Housekeeping also addressed the areas brought to our attention during those visits.
We regret that, despite these efforts, your experience was still impacted and that you chose to depart early. Your feedback is important to us, and we will continue to review our processes to ensure a more consistent experience for future guests.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
Had an excellent vaction. This was a surprise for my mothers birthday and she was extremely happy. The ocean view was amazing. Beautiful sunrises on the back balcony, and beautiful sunsets from the front. Conveniently located by anything you would need. The beach was wonderful and the pools were great and relaxing.
We love staying at Pelican Beach resort, especially this condo. The owner was very responsive, unit was clean, and she even had chairs and umbrellas for us to use. The resort has a great cafe here and in a great location. Only thing is the view is a side view of the ocean, but still a great view. Even the front door has a view of Destin and the harbor. I'm looking forward to booking here again next year.
The ocean view was absolutely beautiful! The condo was exactly as described. It was nice and very comfortable for our family of four. I would highly recommend this condo and would consider staying at this location again.

We have been going to Destin, FL since childhood and it has always been our favorite beach. We have watched Destin Beach grow into a renowned vacation destination yet maintain the same chill coastal vibe.
Why they chose this property
Pelican Beach Resort is situated right on the Gulf of Mexico offering amenities that no other resort around can match. Our condo offers pristine beach views and is only steps away from nightlife, restaurants, shopping and more.
