We really enjoyed our stay

The property was as advertised. The condo was clean and comfortable. We really liked that it was on the second floor, so access to the beach was just down one set of stairs, which kept us from having to use the elevator everytime we took our things to the beach. Highly recommend this rental.

Amazing view!

We had a great time staying at Pelican Beach Resort. Our condo was clean, updated and the location was the best!! Second floor gave way to a beautiful view. Even though there was construction going on at the condominiums they were not too loud. Thank you to the owners! Everything was great and accommodating. We will be staying again!!

Great location and modern unit

We enjoyed the convenient location of this condo, and being on the second floor was a big plus since we did not have to wait on elevators. I also appreciated that the unit was updated and modern, which made our stay more comfortable.However, there were a few downsides. The condo was very dusty under the furniture and definitely in need of a deep clean. Another issue was the lack of communication. Maintenance personnel showed up unexpectedly to work inside the condo without any prior notice. I asked them to come back later, but when I messaged the host to confirm if work was scheduled, I never received a response. This made me feel very uncomfortable, especially since we were not informed about anyone entering the unit during our stay.

Perfect location

We loved being on the second floor. And looking straight out to the golf. It is a beautiful condo. I will say, it wasn’t as clean as I was expecting. It didn’t seem that the bedding was washed, there were dead bugs in the corners of the rooms. With a hefty nightly charge, I would expect immaculate cleaning.

Condo is nice

The condo is nice and as advertised. We didn't have any issues with the condo. However, we were disappointed with all the maintenance going on at Pelican. They are resurfacing the patios and painting the building. The grinding and drilling is constant all day. It was so loud that we had to leave during the day. The pool, hot tub and the patio were all closed. Had we known this in advance we probably would have looked elsewhere. We were given the option to leave when we expressed our disappointment but we were not in a position to pack and leave at that time. Again, we have no complaints about the condo but I would recommend checking to see what maintenance is happening before booking.

Above pool and near tiki hut so it was always very loud. Tiki hut had loud blaring music all day. Washer\dryer unit worked very poorly and took the entire night to dry one load of towels. White floor rug was VERY dirty. Furniture didn’t look old but was generously used. We will never come here again.

Only thing I loved was the location of this rental. Everything was dirty. The patio furniture is completely rusted! The washer/dry combo is extremely hard to use and also had old clumps of hair and other disgusting stuff around rubber rim inside washer. The master bath that is far from master had black stuff coming out the tub drain as I was trying to fill the tub for my toddler to bathe. Couldn’t wait to go home! Thankful for the beach to be so close and extremely convenient. Staff as pleasant. Would be nice to owner to give this condo some TLC

Overall we had a good experience. There were problems with the elevators. If we would have been on an upper floor this would have caused some heartache, but this unit was on the 2nd floor so we used the stairs to avoid long elevator delays. The washer/ dryer machine in this unit was not great. It did the job, just not very well. There were no beach items for use in this unit. No chairs, towels, umbrella which would have been nice to have. The only other item missing was a pair of scissors. Otherwise the bed was comfortable the ac worked very well. We really liked being on the 2nd floor. Very convenient.

Things that need work

We had a great time in Destin. The room was OK. I was not happy with the master bathroom. There was mold on the back of the shower curtain. I took a shower curtain down. I went to the store and bought one and put one up. I took it down when I left and put your guys back up, but I was not too happy and there was still mold on it when I left. The top of the refrigerator was covered in dust. You could wipe your hand across it, and you could see the dust buildup on your hand and you could see where you wiped your hand across the top of the refrigerator. I believe one of the bath towels was pretty wore out and if I remember correctly, it had a couple little holes starting in it and I thought that was not good. All in all was not a bad day just a couple things that I was not happy with that when you pay this kind of money to travel down there in the high-end that you get things like this, that kind of upset you.

Loved our stay!

This place was just as described! It was very nice, comfortable, charming decor and extremely clean. Kitchen had everything we needed. The balcony was perfect for slow mornings w/ coffee and pretty views. It was located on the second floor, so we were able take the stairs & not have to wait for the elevator each time we went somewhere. The beach is close and beautiful. We would definitely stay here again when we return to Destin!

beautiful gulf

The property is a high rise condo building, 2nd floor with great gulf views. Very short, protected walk to the beach. The infinity outdoor pool is wonderful for anyone with mobility issues. The kitchen has everything you would need. Washer/dryer is convenient. The walk Owners are very responsive. Peggy helped us a couple of times when we had questions.Unit could use a chest of drawers in the bedroom for longer stays like our month long stay.Building is very close to grocery stores and restaurants and pharmacies. Front desk staff are really good and helpful and there is a food service on the property which is great for quick breakfasts and lunches. We would return to Pelican Beach Resort.
