We had a great stay and Alice was very responsive to our questions. Unit was clean and everything was as advertised. It was nice having the small washer/dryer in the unit. View was amazing as shown! We would definitely stay here again when in Destin! Getting in and out of the property is a little tricky with all the traffic but a great location.

Just an OK experience at Pelican Beach

The check in process is very slow between being informed of room readiness at the last possible time listed and no access of the limited 8 luggage carts that were available among all the other guest jocking for spots up front to unload vehicles. Only the main lobby elevators were in operation which further delayed any movement throughout the complex. During hours from 0900 to 2100 it would often take 20 minutes to get into an elevator and stop between multiple floors which serviced no guest. Also, there is no beach service offered with the units and the company providing service on the beach routinely sold out so i would plan ahead a reserve before your vacation.

This property was exactly as described. The location in Destin is perfect, central to everything. The unit is clean and stocked appropriately. Plenty of towels, great view! It is small as someone else mentioned but NOT too small. It was perfect for my family of 4. It could use a darkening curtain in the twin room. We did have 2 problems which absolutely have nothing to do with the unit but more the property itself. There are only 4 elevators for 20 floors. It can be difficult especially during checkout. People were waiting for elevators. This unit is on the 18th floor so not easy to carry luggage or ice chests down. The other is that once on the beach it is a small area allotted to the condo. The property rents out chairs and umbrellas, typical for all the condos around, however this property has 5 rows of umbrellas and chairs taking up all of the sand close to the water and will not allow personal chairs or umbrellas to set up in front of their designated areas. To the left and right are private beach areas belonging to other condo units. If you are planning to rent chairs it may not be a big deal but if you bring your own, you will not be able to see the water or your kids playing. For younger children this would not be an ideal situation. Just some knowledge, but again nothing on the unit itself. I would happily stay there again if the property changed a few of their chair arrangements. Also, the cafe and bar by the beach is a wonderful plus and the pools are also great!
