Great option

Loved our stay at the condo! It was beautiful and Sandy was extremely responsive. The walk to the beach is not far and the pools are great. We also enjoyed the tiki bar and food. The beach does not allow tents so important to know that.

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Sandy Williamson

Host profile image
Hi - we are Mark & Sandy Williamson. We fell in love with Destin on our first visit... our only regret is that we didn't get here sooner. We live in Dallas but come down here every chance we get - in the meantime, we invite you to enjoy our home.

Why they chose this property

We first visited Destin three years ago and have owned a condo at Pelican Beach Resort since then. We would enter the property and head down the palm tree lined driveway, passing The Terrace and feeling so thankful that we had a direct view of the gulf & the beach at the Pelican Resort. That was until we walked into this unit at The Terrace - we had absolutely no idea that the views were so spectacular! We could see everything from the white sands, emerald green waters, a private lagoon, fireworks at the Harbor, and our own relaxing view of the sunsets every evening! We love visiting our home away from home and would love to share our new condo with others! Come see us!

What makes this property unique

We have spent many evenings trying to time our vacation days with a trip to a restaurant or lounge at just the right time to see the sunset. We would cross our fingers that we could get a window seat and ordered appetizers we didn't need or drinks we weren't thirsty for just so we could see the beauty of the sun dipping below the horizon. No more - now we just step outside on the balcony and have a seat! Paradise! An unexpected perk when we purchased this unit was the dedicated, private parking spot in the covered garage - just steps from the elevator!
