Wonderful stay

The condo was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. Our boys loved the bunk beds with the TVs and our King size bed was very comfortable. The view was perfect from our balcony and we were able to see dolphins on our last morning there. So many great restaurants and stores within a mile or 2 of Pelican Beach, so we never had to venture far. Our boys, 8 and 10, swam in every pool and had the best time! We will most definitely be back!

Great view

My family went away for spring break. We had an amazing time. The beach is beautiful and the pool was great for the kids. We were walking distance from shops and food and a 10 min ride from the harbor and restaurants. The condo was clean and exactly what was pictured. We enjoyed the chairs Provided. We would come back in the future.

December 2024 Stay

This is a good unit. There is an older re-do and some thought has been made with an eye towards the beach condo experience and making you feel at home. Biggest issue is the master bedroom plantation shutters need to be fixed so that the light does not come beaming in at night. Nice place though!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
It was calm quiet. Room was nice with a good view. Great food close. Beach was nice and clean. Didn’t like how if you weren’t a paying customer for a beach chair the whole front row of beach was off limits for lawn chairs and setups. Like a money grab paying customers for the condos should have same access to beachfront. Especially with the beach chairs lined the whole property front. Overall great stay. Would recommend to others.

Very clean and fresh!

Property manager was super quick with communication and happy to answer questions. Condo was very clean and comfortable! Kitchen was stocked nicely. A new set of pots and pans would be a great purchase! A few 3M hooks in the shower would be awesome for hanging suits to dry. Maybe a crate on the deck to leave a few beach toys? Overall we will definitely book again if our dates work out!

We love beach vacations. Growing up in Cyprus, I used to think that no beach is better than the salty waters of Mediterranean and our sandy beaches are the best. Then I saw turquoise waters and sugary white beaches of Destin, Florida and fell in love at first sight. This is the reason we bought beach condos in Destin. We visit regularly as a family and rent them ourselves. We have a total of 7 units at Pelican Beach Resort. Waterscape, Majestic Sun at Seascape Resort and Luau, Bahia, Elation and Grand Sandestin at Sandestin Resort are our other locations. They are all by the beach and are updated. You can expect same great service and same attention to detail for all our condos in the area.

* Spectacular Ocean views from 5th floor, with right amount of sand, beach, ocean and sky!!! You will love the view from this condo.
* Full kitchen
* Comfortable beds
* Very Clean Unit
* Newly Installed bunk beds
* Tastefully decorated
* Pack n' Play in the unit.
* Sleeps 6
