Fall Break

Fantastic location, clean unit and easy to access. Beach access is very easy and close, would recommend booking chairs very early as that company can be difficult to deal with at times. I would go back again for sure and recommend.

Great service

I normally don't leave reviews but I really appreciate Compass Resorts letting me check in almost 3 hours earlier. The room was pretty much what I expected in this price range, a bit outdated, but clean and had everything we needed.

Prime strip location

Pelican Resort is located in the middle of the Destin strip close to food and things to do. The only downside we found was the resort beachfront isn’t very large and is completely filled with paid rental chairs. You can bring your own beach set up but you’ll be behind 2 rows of chairs and umbrellas making it a pain with younger kids. We did not go during peak season and the front row chairs were already booked out and could see beach space being a big negative to staying here in the future during busier times. The condo appears to be being updated with newer accents and rug. Worked well for our family and no condo complaints.

I recently stayed at Pelican Beach on the 20th floor (top floor), and the experience was incredible. From the balcony, you can take in breathtaking sunrises over the Gulf, and from the open front-side entryway, you can also watch the sunset — giving you both views in one stay. The scenery of the white sandy beaches, clear emerald waters, and the Destin skyline is unforgettable.The resort itself is very well-kept. There are multiple pools, two hot tubs, a tiki bar, and five elevators that make getting around the building quick and easy. Parking was convenient, and the staff were attentive and welcoming throughout our stay.Our unit had everything we needed and more — extras like sand toys, snorkels, body boards, and games. The kitchen was fully stocked with a blender, toaster oven, full oven and stovetop, large refrigerator, dishwasher, and two types of coffee makers. Having an in-unit washer and dryer was a huge plus as well.The location is excellent, with Walmart just down the road and tons of restaurants, shopping, and family activities nearby.Overall, my family and I had a fantastic time. The resort is beautiful, convenient, and family-friendly. We will definitely be coming back!

The elevator is the only problem I had with our stay. I feel that the resort needs 4 more elevators.

The condo was beautiful and well maintained. Sleeping was perfect for 4 adults and 2 teenagers. It was close to everything and the pools, tiki bar, and cafe made it even easier to not have to get out during the day! Pelican Beach Resort has everything you need! We also did a day at Crab Island.It is a must see!

Good location and good condo. Only criticism I’d have is crappy cox cable connection in the 2nd bedroom does not work… 4 year old couldn’t watch any cartoons on the tv in there but really not a big deal. Everything else was just fine! 5 stars, would return and would recommend.
