Great location in Destin

This was our first trip to Destin and we found the location to be very convenient to everything. The condo had a relaxing patio overlooking the pool and the neighboring lagoon. It was furnished very nicely in the kitchen for meal preparations. I would recommend this condo for couples and families.

Excellent accommodations! This unit overlooks the large pool! We were a short walk to the beach!

We loved this condo! It was well-equipped with everything we needed for the week. The beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. made our ocean time that much better. Very thankful for a great week!

It was a nice place to stay, and clean. Not directly on the beach, our own entrance to the beach from the comdo, veey little walk. There was a water park across from it. I stayed on the beach or the hot tub. I was there for USSA softball National tournament, for my granddaughter. I would stay again.

Great place to stay

We had a baseball tournament in Fort Walton and stayed here. The property was very clean, the check in was simple and it is a few minute walk to the ocean, just across the parking lot and walkway and you’re there. This was perfect for us as we weren’t sure how often we were going to be at the condo with the baseball tournament so we didn’t want to pay oceanfront prices. We were able to go to the ocean everyday because it was a short walk and we didn’t have to drive anywhere. My only complaint is that private beach chairs must be setup behind the rentals. There were 3 rows of rentals and maybe half were rented so a lot of empty chairs blocking the way.

I never write reviews

We have stayed at the pelican before so we knew what to expect when it came to the property. I am solely writing this because of the owners. We had an issue the first night when we got back from dinner and Lisa immediately took care of it. She is by far the best host we have ever had. We will definitely reusing this unit based off of them! You couldn’t ask for better hosts! And yes, the pictures of the condo are extremely accurate and the condo itself is in tip top shape😊

Summer 2021 Trip

The value and location of the property was great! The pictures matched the listing well and the responsiveness of the manager was quick and timely. One thing that could have improved our stay would have been that all light fixtures worked. The dining room lights did not work. All in all our stay was great!

Wonderful!!!

Overall this was amazing. The property is clean, the private beach, the cafe, the pools, the beautiful condo. Lisa is wonderful, promptly responded when we let her know the tub wasnt draining. All the check in info was great, there is a binder in the condo with fun things to do around too! The weather wasnt the best but the condo made up for it. Plus there is SO much to do around it. Within walking distance to a lot of stuff. We had an absolutely wonderful time staying here and are so greatful we were able to! If youre wondering if you should book this, do! Its really great. Hands down one of our top vacations! Our first to Florida and it was so perfect we will definitely come back again. Thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful home! Your happy place is ours now too!

Couldn't sleep at all at night

The property and apartment was great. Terrible piping noise throughout the building all day and night. Leak developed under the carpet in master bedroom at the doorway. Maintenance promptly came and unclogged the line. Code for gate to beach was not given, other residents provided code. Cookware was in horrible condition, oven was terribly dirty and greasy, which caused fire alarm to go off when the oven door was opened after pre-heating. Key box was too high for a short person to reach. Left a day earlier due to above mentioned issues. Otherwise the place was beautiful in a very convenient location.

The condo was like walking into your own home. This was the most well stocked condo we have stayed at. Condo was beautifully decorated and super clean which is a must for me. Nice pools, beach within walking distance and lots of restaurants nearby. The host was very quick to respond when booking and check in was very easy. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your condo with us.

Nice Property

The room is at the terrace which is a bit back from the ocean, maybe a 4-minute walk however it is NOT bad at all. The facility is smaller thus not having to wait in huge lines to get in an elevator to get to your room. The pool is usually less crowded. The actual room was very nice. The room had all the amenities we needed to cook and clean, etc.. I recommend 100%.
