This beautiful, vacation, 6th floor unit has been totally remodeled and is perfect for a family beach getaway. It is in the Pelican Beach Resort, part of the private Resorts of Pelican Beach condominium complex.

The condominium has a private balcony shared by the living room and master bedroom offering a gulf-view towards the beach and emerald-green waters and long views to the East along the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico - perfect for enjoying our picturesque sunrises.

This is where you want to stay in Destin if you want to be directly on the beach and would like the option to walk to good restaurants, attractions, and entertainment to be found in the Central Destin area.

This two-bedroom/two bath condominium offers 955 sf. ft. of interior space with a 152 sq. ft. of balcony space. The condominium sleeps a maximum of six people and offers one of the area's most unique gulf views of the Destin beaches. This beautiful unit has everything you need for a wonderful and comfortable vacation. There is a southeasterly, unobstructed, and gorgeous view of the gulf and coastline from private balcony. Updated with wood-like tile flooring throughout, shiplap ceilings, new furnishings and stainless-steel appliances.

The living room has queen sleeper sofa with Cozy Comfort mattress, 70" smart TV, DVD w/streaming, and a stereo with Bluetooth capabilities. There is an assortment of DVDs, books, and games.

Master bedroom has a king-size bed, en-suite bathroom with tub/shower combination, and a 55" TV w/DVD player w/streaming capabilities with sliding doors accessing the large balcony.

Kids will love the guest room with twin beds and a 43" 4k TV with DVD player w/streaming. The guest room has an en-suite full-size bath with tub/shower combination.

The chef-ready kitchen has all small appliances, Fiestaware dishes, and fully stocked with pots and pans, dishes, and utensils and both Mr. Coffee and Keurig-compatible coffeemakers. All new stainless-steel appliances.

There is a washer and dryer in the unit. Cable and internet included. This is "streaming-friendly" condominium offering a new level (100 Mbps) of high-speed Wi-Fi Internet access … perfect for the entire family!

We try and keep an umbrella and two beach chairs in the unit for our guests' use. This unit has keyless entry and you never have to worry about losing your key at the beach or someone being locked out! The unit has books, games, and family-friendly DVDs. It is nice, bright unit with everything needed for a wonderful vacation on the beach. The balcony is a wonderful place to watch the sunrises and dolphins play.

This unit has a great view of the ocean, beach, and pools. The perfect location. It is near the elevators with easy access to everything the resort has to offer, including the indoor/outdoor pool, cafe, pool, and beach.

During the prime season, both the cafe and tiki bar deliver to the beach! Pelican Beach has a Market Café which has a large menu consisting of breakfast items and sandwiches, burgers, salads, pizza, etc. for lunch. It also carries incidentals such as sunscreen, sodas, beach toys, beer, and snacks. On site, there is a Tiki bar, indoor/outdoor pool, separate outdoor pool, kiddie pool, exercise room, game room, and sun deck. Linens, dishes, cookware, etc. provided. There is a rental company on the beach for additional chairs/umbrellas. Beach service rental is not included.

Check out the toy box located on the beach before buying beach toys. It is a box where you can borrow sand toys, boogie boards, etc., and return them when you are finished. Or, if you purchase beach items and want to leave them behind for the enjoyment of others, you can place them in the toy box also.

The resort is located on the beach side of Highway 98 across from Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park. Within two miles, you'll find the harbor where you can enjoy waterfront dining, live music, fishing charters, boat and wave runner rentals, and all new Harborwalk Entertainment Complex including Harry T's, Crab Island Cantina, Margaritaville, shopping, & family activities. Baytowne Village is also a nice place to visit with lots of activities for children and families, restaurants, shops, and live music. On-site, Pelican Beach has a Tiki bar, café, exercise room, game room, indoor/outdoor pool, two outdoor pools, two hot tubs, and sundeck.

With all of the amenities that the resort has, you never need to leave! But, if you do, there are lots of things within minutes that are fun to do. Harborwalk Village is 2.5 miles west with restaurants, shops, children's activities, and fishing charters, jet ski and boat rentals, etc. Destin Commons is 3.7 miles to the east and is full of shops and restaurants. There is the Fish Bowl Restaurant and Bowling Alley here which is very fun and family-friendly. The Silver Sands Outlet Mall is 8 miles to the east with shops and restaurants.

The condo was spacious and homey. The beds were very comfortable, the water pressure was great, the WiFi was fast, and the TV was great! The host was wonderful in communication and coordinating a late check out. Check in/ check out was very easy! Not a must, but blackout curtains would be nice in the master due to the morning sun. Overall, we had a wonderful trip and would totally stay again!

Very Family Friendly 🐬

This property was a great place for my family of four (5 & 2). The owner provided chairs and an umbrella for us to use during our stay. My son loved the “Toy Box” down by the beach for toys. It was so convenient to be so close to the pools and beach so we could come and go. It was a very enjoyable stay.

Trip was great but resort and rooms need work

Elevator broken, toilet had to be repaired, blue ray had to be replaced, internet was terribly slow when it actually worked, tv wiring had to be redone by maintenance, and you can't set up your own beach chairs within 100 feet of the beach because of the chair rental the resort was running. The resort staff was great about fixing everything, but the unit owner showed little interest in our many complaints.

Amazing Resort and Unit

We had a wonderful stay at Pelican Beach Resort. The property itself has 3 pools, a pool/beachside tiki bar and cafe, is right on the beach, and is very close to shopping, food, and activities. The unit itself was just as described. It was clean, stocked with starter items like toilet paper, and has any kitchen appliance you could possibly need for your stay. There is a washer and dryer in the unit, which was an added bonus. We did not have any issues, but I did have a few questions and the owner was extremely responsive and kind. If you are looking for a clean, nice, beachfront condo with tons of activities, I highly recommend this place. We are a family with two adults in our 30s and a 5 year old. I will rent from this owner on future Destin vacations

Great location, Great host

We enjoyed every minute of our stay in Destin. The condo was the perfect size for my wife, daughter and in-laws. Had a great view of the ocean from our balcony. Great location and close to everything. Every person that worked at the facility was very nice and they make sure you enjoy your stay. The tiki bar is a big bonus and they have a great selection of drinks for all ages. Our host was very responsive to any questions we had. Our flight home was delayed and we would have missed our connection. We had to book another flight for the following day. I reached out to our host praying we could stay in the condo 1 more night as a hotel would have been more expensive. The room was booked however the host was able to find us another room that was smaller but would be just fine for 1 night. She also went out of her way and charged us half price because of our inconvenience. She definitely did not need to do that but we were very appreciative. We will definitely stay there again!!!

We enjoyed our stay at the property. The only issue that we had was that the door did not have a bolt where you can lock the door from inside. We have a toddler and he could just open up the door on his own, very scary. We were on high alert the entire time.

About the host

Hosted by Teresa Calcote

Host profile image
We're from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and have been visiting the area for many years. We decided to purchase the condo so that we can enjoy the area and all that it has to offer more often.

Why they chose this property

We love this property because of all the amenities and its location on the beach and near restaurants/activities. This complex has three pools, one of which is an indoor/outdoor pool, workout center, sundeck, tiki bar, market deli, tennis courts, and grills by the pool.

What makes this property unique

This property is located directly across the street from Big Kahuna's and there are a multitude of restaurants in every direction. Harbor Village is less than two miles to the east. Baytowne Village is about 5 miles to the East with additional activities, restaurants, and shops. Destin Commons is approximately two miles to the East and the outlet mall about 4 miles to the East. On site management open 24 hrs.

Ask about our other units which are directly on the beach and which sleeps 6.
