We enjoyed our time in Destin, specifically the Pelican Beach Resort. The swimming pools were fun and the beach was a short walk.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Host was amazing from the beginning. We didn’t have any issues with checking in/out. Only thing that needs to get addressed is the cleanliness of floors, couch and shower head. Tile grout is black and you can see next to trim it is light grey. The couch had large stains on the back cushions and I didn’t even want to sit on them. Master bath shower head was completely covered in mildew. The cost of cleaning service fee is ridiculous with the conditions we experienced walking in. We basically left it as clean as it was with exceptions of dirty towels and linens for one bed. The others were not used.
Great very clean place in the heart of everything!

Perfect View
The view was perfect! Everything matched the pictures. Condo was in great shape and clean.
This was our 2nd time staying at this resort and we love it. The room itself is great, clean and had everything we needed.
Not a fan of how over crowded the resort seems, pools are always super packed.

Nice family vacation
Great location. We were able to see dolphins one morning while on the balcony. Room was nice and clean. Only reason for not 5 stars is the water pressure in the master bath, pressure was too low. The guest bath was just fine.
This was a perfect accommodation for two people. The view and beach access were superb. Balcony seating, which was important to me, was comfortable. The only downside to this property was a lack of in-condo laundry facilities.

Spring Break Stay
First- the view here is unreal and makes it worth the price. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped. The elevators are right around the corner and getting to the beach is so easy. We had a wonderful time. The unit could use some updates (worn condition). Would recommend at this price! We made great memories.

Unit was clean and in a great location. Enjoyed the surrounding attractions. Nothing was out of the way. Easy check in/out. Decorated very nice and modern. Only complaint was the ice maker wouldn’t work, but great stay otherwise!
