Outstanding. The property was very clean and comfortable. Being centrally located to restaurants and outdoor adventures was a major plus. I highly recommend the 3 hour crab island tour. Our host was very gracious, and always making sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely book another stay in the near future

Destin- my go to place

So needed a few days to get away and work on some business projects. This condo at the Pelican was perfect. The interior is completely modern and everything worked as planned. The owner was very attentive to any needs we had. The view for the 5th floor to the Beach was uninstructed and the location was easy to get to restaurants and the wharfs. Would definitely recommend it and will stay there again in the future.

Stunning Ocean View

We booked this unit specifically for the ocean view and we were not disappointed. While the view is all we hoped it would be, the unit was very nice as well. The primary bed, as well as the bunk beds, had very comfortable mattresses and the kitchen was fully stocked with all appliances/dishes, etc you would need for an enjoyable stay. The host communicated with us throughout the process, making sure our stay was enjoyable. We definitely recommend this unit for your future Destin vacation.

Great out of season retreat, besides noise construction.

Construction was as posted, noise and limited features. We came aware of that and set expectations accordingly. The condo was decorated nice. Awesome view of beach even without balcony access. Communication before hand to give clarity on construction was superb. Check in check out, parking and sundrues stocked in condo, all great! We would return during peak season when renovations are not going on to enjoy the full experience.

Nice condo, but new management company has ruined the beach experience.

Condo was nice. Owner very helpful. Only complaint was how the beach chair company has taken over the beach. First of all, you only have a roped off section you can be in while you are at the beach. Have NEVER seen this before. Secondly, the new beach chair company puts ALL of their chairs on the front row and puts up signs that say NO beach setups south of this sign. Great colors in the ocean in Destin, just don’t get to sit and enjoy it during your stay, unless you want to rent their chairs every day and be on top of someone else. Would hate to see how crowded this roped off section is in the summer months. Will be back to Destin, just not going to stay at Pelican Beach Resort again because of the beach situation. Great condo though.

This was our first trip to Destin and we definitely picked the right condo to stay in! Very clean, beautiful ocean view, and comfortable beds. We loved that we could be down at the beach in a matter of a few minutes.

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.

Why they chose this property

* 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
* Right at the beach
* Very close to Destin Marina and next to a family waterpark

What makes this property unique

* Bunk beds with individual TV's that have basic cable and Netflix.
* Beach Gear
* Brand new appliances
