Condo Great-Beach Access Terrible!

The condo itself was excellent! Wonderful view of the beach and the gulf of Mexico. The included washer and dryer came in handy as did the many appliances and utensils on the kitchen counter and in the cabinets. There's also a Keurig machine, so don't forget to bring the K-cups for coffee. As far as the beach situation at Pelican Beach Resort: Forget about actually being able to get a spot with a view of the water unless you are lucky enough to reserve a fairly expensive set of 2 beach chairs and an umbrella. If you don't make your reservations with La Dolce Vita Beach Rentals at least 2 weeks in advance of your stay you'll be placed in the 2nd or 3rd row staring at the back other chairs and umbrellas, and forget about setting up your own chairs and umbrellas with a view of the water.....it isn't allowed, and the beach chair vendor guys will relentlessly harass you to move your stuff to the back of the beach. We gave up and drove about 2 miles down Hwy 98 to Henderson State Park where for $6 you are able to set up your own chairs and umbrella with an uncrowded view of the beach and gulf. If I had been more vigilant in my research when selecting a resort to visit, I probably would have found someplace in a less busy area with much better and definitely much cheaper actual beach access!

Safety First, but overall a great trip!

Overall, our stay was great. The space was nice and as pictured. They provide some beach chairs and there were some beach toys there as well. Plenty of seating on the balcony and within the unit! That being said, there were a few concerns we had, which is why I gave the lesser rating. Our biggest concern was the electrical safety of the unit. We brought our mom’s down for Mother’s Day and we found the tv in their room (guest room with twin beds) was not working. After looking more, we found the outlet it was plugged into had burnt out, leaving a black residue on the outlet. We obviously did not try to plug it in anywhere else and the host said he would have it looked at as soon as we checked out. I will say, the lights in the connecting bathroom would also go off randomly. The only other issue we had was there were a number of bugs that seemed to be coming out of the sink. Not sure if it was a palmetto bug or something else. I would say we saw a minimum of 6 within our 3 days there. I will wrap up with more positive. We had a great trip and loved the number of pools and easy access to the beach! The location is very convenient and pretty easy to get around!

Spring Break

The property had everything we needed for spring break with our young granddaughter. The beach was a short walk from our condo and with three pools and two hot tubs, there was something for everybody. The management staff was very helpful and informative. I would highly recommend the Pelican Beach Resort for a truly lovely vacation spot.

Our unit was a surprise as we had no idea what to expect . Clean, well appointed and a great view.

They are currently renovating the building. Noisy during the day which didn’t bother us. We are planning on a return trip so I think that says. It all. Good location for fine dining. The view was the best 👍

August 5 - 12 Stay

Condo overall is very nice. Decor is pleasant. The door from outside did not have a safety lock at top and was dirty. We put a chair under door knob. Beds are comfortable. There was minimal furniture on the terrace so sitting outside to enjoy the view not possible for multiple people. Pools are very nice and beac is fabulous. The Tiki Hut at the pool serves good food and drinks. Overall, very good.

Summer Softball Nationals Trip

The property was very well kept up. The only thing we didn’t like was that you couldn’t invite friends over. Since we were in town for Softball Nationals we had a lot of other friends staying in other locations. It would’ve been nice to have a few of them over.

Great place for families

Property is ideal for families with young kids. Check In was easy, Tommy’s condo was spotless clean and was much nicer than we expected. There was more than enough kitchen, bathroom and general supplies so we didn’t have to buy a ton at the store. Kitchen is well stocked to do just about any cooking you need. Food and drinks were very reasonably priced by the pool. Overall, we’d definitely plan to stay here again in this unit. Tommy was fast to respond with questions we had about the TV. Compared to other places we’ve stayed that we’re managed by an agency, being able yo contact the actual owner was something we’d never been able to do before. If you’re going to pelican beach resort, I’d highly recommend this unit for a couple with 2 kids.

Not the place for family trip

What they do tell you, location and fairly close to all the great places to eat or do in Destin. What they don't tell you, Not enough carts for check in or out, you will wait on an elevator at all hours of the day sometimes multiple trips before room, difficult to get in and out of the property considering road access. Rooms are smaller than portrayed, washer and dryer are super tiny for families. It depends on who runs your booking on what amenities you will receive. Security is a joke, all outdoor activities are to close at 10 which is no biggie but when outside we had security come by every 2-4 minutes to remind us that we had to be gone by 10 and started this process at 9:30. Two swimming pools and two hot tubs, the hot tub area that is next to the family swimming pool is for adults only and the secluded hot tub in its own gated area allows kids which causing a problem with everyone interested. Property charges for beach chairs and the property to the left and right on the beach won't allow you to set up in either direction. So the property chairs are set up just feet from the water and span the total width of the property with rules being you can't set up in front of any rented chair so the only spot you have to set up in behind all of the property chairs and if you set up back there the life guards will ask you to move for safety reasons. If you are a family or group stay away if you are a liberal ass Karen then this might be the place for you.

Beautiful View/location/clean

The pictures do not do Tommy’s condo justice. Sometimes you never know if it will live up to your expectations. Our condo was extremely clean and was well stocked with everything we needed to cook and even had starter toiletries. The beach was absolutely beautiful. Our view was the best we have had so far from any listing. Sometimes they tell you great view and you get a slice from a little corner of your balcony. Not this condo! We loved sitting on it. Great morning sun. Beds were very comfortable and had nice bedding on them. It was close to one of the pools and the tiki hut. Tommy was very fast to respond with any questions. The condo has a nice location to shopping and your choice of target or walmart close for groceries. Would definitely recommend this unit. You can tell it is well taken care of and has great owners aswell. If we visit Destin again, this will be the place.

"Destin , Not DESTINY"

The property was as advertised. We truly enjoyed our stay at this location, but the town itself was a bit lacking particularly in the area of eateries. The extreme pricing of food and service, or lack of in some cases, indicates to me that there are better locations for us to spend our money. Nearly $40 for 2 people for a simple breakfast seems a bit over priced, particularly when the server couldn't get the order correct and was down right surly, as well. No thank you! Also, the traffic in Destin is nearly as bad for travel as some major metro-politian areas. I'd hate to be there in the peak season and travel crosstown. Perhaps a word with you local Chaimber of Commerce on these 2 issues is in order.
