1114 Amazing Beach & Gulf Front Views ~ Pools ~ Tiki Bar & More! Book Aug 31st

Welcome to Pelican Seaside Paradise!
Step into a world where stress melts away the moment you arrive. As you enter your vacation haven, the breathtaking view of the Gulf will immediately catch your eye. You’ll enjoy direct access to the gulf from both the living room and the master suite, where the salty breeze flows from the deck, furnished with a table for four and two high-top chairs—a perfect setting for an unforgettable escape.

Upon entering the condo, you’ll be greeted by serene, sea-inspired colors and a bright kitchen, complete with granite countertops and all the comforts of home. Whether you’re planning to whip up a Gulf Coast meal or enjoy takeout, you’ll have everything you need. The dining area offers plenty of seating, perfect for family meals or board games, and the living room provides a seamless blend of indoor comfort with outdoor beauty, highlighted by stunning views from this 11th-floor luxury condo.

New to our rental program, this beachfront beauty at the Pelican Resort puts the beach just steps away, with several pools for everyone to enjoy. Choose from an indoor/outdoor pool, lap pool, gulf-front pool, hot tub, and even a beachside Tiki Bar serving food and cocktails. Feeling adventurous? Book a beach excursion right out front, or visit the café for an afternoon snack. The resort also features a fitness center, steam room, and sauna for ultimate relaxation. Kids will love the arcade near the café and the kiddie pools by the gas grill area—perfect for a laid-back BBQ night.

Our beach-inspired condo comfortably sleeps six, with two king beds, plush linens, and pillows designed for a restful night’s sleep. The master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom and balcony access for those moments you want to unwind in private. The second bedroom has an additional twin bunk above the king bed, providing extra accommodations. And for added convenience, there’s a queen-sized sofa sleeper in the living room, as well as a full-sized washer and dryer in the second bathroom.

As the day winds down, step out onto your personal balcony and watch the dolphins at play. Pelican Seaside Paradise is a place the whole family will love!

Great condo with the best view! We are a family of 5 and all fit perfectly in the condo. Our girls love the bunk bed. King bed on the bottom gave them plenty of room. This resort is one of our favorites. We love having the option of the tiki bar and lunch option right on the beach. We got to enjoy watching the dolphins every morning. We will definitely be back!

The condo was very clean, loved the views, the master bedroom the mattress was very firm, so if you prefer a softer mattress this bed not for you. Just note the fridge door needs help shutting. But was very happy over all. The condo had everything you needed for cooking. Love the grounds and everyone was super nice. Loved the area close to everything you needed. Will be back again.

The condo is exactly as pictured and is in a perfect location for a trip to Destin. The views are stunning and the amenities are perfect. We had 5 people in the condo, 3 teenagers and 2 parents. We had plenty of space to hang out when not on the beach. The pools, hot tub and private beach are right on site. I highly recommend this condo. Joe and Laura are great hosts. We'll be back

December celebrations in Destin

December Trip for early 3rd Birthday and Anniversary Celebration. Location was great. First December Trip to Destin, no crowds. Condo did have beach toys for our little ones. Washer and dryer in condo is always a must, it's nice to wash our beach towels and clothes before heading home. Outdoor Heated outdoor pool and hot tubs were nice because the weather was a little chilly. Grandkids loved the indoor pool also. I picked this because it was close to the beach so little ones didn't have far to walk. Thanks for sharing your condo with our family.

You are on your own.

The property looked like the listing photos. Upon arriving, our unit appeared clean. We got there around midnight. The kitchen stovetop was dirty, as well getting a coffee mug out of the cabinet with lipstick on it. One day there would be an issue with one of the pools, closing it down. Thus creating unbearable crowds at operational pools. And waiting for an elevator was a nightmare, considering they were not air-conditioned.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad the unit met your expectations in terms of appearance and cleanliness upon arrival. That said, we're truly sorry about the stovetop and the coffee mug issue—this isn’t up to our usual standards. Had we known of the housekeeping oversight during your stay, we certainly would have had the team return promptly to address it. Regarding the pool closure, we understand how frustrating that can be, especially during peak season. However, the decision to temporarily close a pool was made for sanitary reasons and the safety of all guests. While it may have been inconvenient, we’re sure you’d agree that swimming in unsafe conditions isn’t ideal. As for the elevators, we completely understand your concern. During high-traffic summer months, they’re in constant use. Due to the frequent opening and closing of doors—especially to exterior areas—maintaining consistent air conditioning in them is a challenge and unfortunately outside of our control. We hope you made many wonderful family memories during your visit. Come back soon—we’d love the opportunity to host you again and earn your 5-star experience.

Nice but needs upgrades

It was a nice condo but the beds were not comfortable at all. They are old spring mattresses. I highly suggest replacing the mattresses and adding mattress pads. People come to Destin to relax from their busy lives not to sleep in discomfort. Also there is a cleaning fee in which it’s hardly a good clean. There is places of mold around the slider doors. Also the rules of cleaning up the sand but when we arrived there is already sand in the condo which means the floors were not cleaned. Also in the rules it says to not move furniture. But we had to move dressers and night stands to look for plugs to charge our phones and devices. We suggest adding usb port plugs for night stands and dressers. With all that the condo was laid out nice. The kitchen was nice. It was nice the condo had a washer and dryer.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughtful review of your recent stay at our beachfront condo in Destin. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continuously improve the guest experience. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the layout of the condo, the kitchen, and the convenience of having a washer and dryer. We strive to create a relaxing and comfortable environment for all of our guests, and it’s always great to hear the positive aspects of your stay. I understand that you found the beds uncomfortable, and I’m sorry that they didn’t meet your expectations. We know that bed comfort can be highly subjective, and what works for one person may not be ideal for another. We are constantly evaluating ways to improve guest comfort, and your suggestion about mattress pads is definitely something we will consider. We aim to make sure everyone has a restful stay, and we understand how important a good night’s sleep is. Regarding the cleanliness concerns, I do wish you would have reached out to me directly upon arrival, as requested in our guest communication. If housekeeping missed any details, they would have been happy to return and address the issue promptly. Our team works hard, but we acknowledge that even the best teams can overlook things occasionally. We take your comments seriously and will ensure the attention to detail is a top priority going forward. As for the sand, we agree that it’s an inevitable part of staying at a beachfront property. While we do our best to keep the condo clean, the fine white sand can be difficult to completely eliminate, especially with the beach being so close and guests bringing it in on their shoes or beach accessories. We appreciate your understanding of this natural aspect of staying right on the water. Lastly, regarding the furniture and the request not to move it, we only ask that guests return any moved furniture to its original position as it was found. We know how important it is for you to use your devices and personal items, and the furniture was positioned to ensure the best use of the space. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us. We genuinely value your input and hope to welcome you back for a more comfortable stay in the future. Joe Joe's Resorts
