Looking for an amazing place to stay?
We loved the options at Pelican Beach Resort: heated pools, hot tubs, beachfront umbrella/chair/beverage service, the ocean was beautiful, nice on site cafe for food and beverages, security personnel, and friendly service. Our apartment was spotless, newly remodeled, and had all the amenities we could ask for and more! Gorgeous balcony views. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Condo!
The view from this condo was incredible! Every day during our week-long stay we got to marvel at the sights and sounds of the ocean with too many numerous dolphin sightings to count! The real standout for me though was the communication with the owners. I received immediate and friendly responses to inquiries and information provided regarding check-in and property details were incredibly detailed and thorough.

Only 1 thing really caused my to say that’s terrible!
The condo we stayed in was perfect! Especially since the ocean was right outside our window, unlike when you go to the beach and can’t see the beach at all. The expensive beach chairs blocked every possible view of the water! I hated that!

Dude Trip
I brought my two sons here for a boys weekend. I chose this unit for its awesome built in bunk beds with tv screens and quick beach access. The pool with the waterfall became shaded about 2pm so that was terrific after they got tired of being out in the sun all morning. Great location. We walked to the water park and putt putt across the street and had a quick drive to go karts, the harbor, and Fud Puckers. They had a great time and said they liked it better than the other places we have been on the Gulf!

Great Condo and great location
My family of four spent the week here. The condo was very cute and in a really great location. It’s right above the pool, so if you’re on the balcony it’s really noisy. The good thing is that the sliding door sound proof, so there’s no noise inside of the condo.
The cafe downstairs has wonderful customer service and food.
Can’t wait to return next year!

Lovely Experience
We had such a wonderful family beach vacation! We traveled here with our 6 and 8 year old kids. It was the perfect size for us. Comfy beds and couch. Great view. Right next to the elevator. Reserve your beach chairs early. Having front row chairs really improved our beach experience and you can’t put personal chairs in front of the reserved ones. We did have some issues with rowdiness around the pool and loud music, but honestly, that’s what we expected for Destin. We would absolutely come back to this exact spot again!

Great vacation spot!
Very family friendly, close to everything, great pools and beautiful beach! Was definitely one of the cleanest rentals we've stayed in. I probably wouldn't recommend this resort if you are looking for a party spot as the resort is pretty strict about the rules. But we actually appreciated that as we went with two kids under 8 over spring break and weren't worried about having to deal with the typical spring break scene and had a great time! We will definitely be back!

Not what we had been promised
The continuous loud noise went from morning till night. The deck was blocked. We could not open a window for fresh air. We can not walk to the activities cafe bar or pools. They were closed for the winter season
The unit did not have cooking pans, hot pads, or utensils. It did have many wine glasses. A large picture crashed off the wall of the unit during construction. I called the owner. She told me we could move. She knew we flew in to Destin. We had no car. I loved the managers at pelican Beach resort. I would never trust vrbo.
