Wonderful stay with a beautiful view. Condo was nice and clean. I do think more than 2 kitchen trashbags for a 4 night stay/family of 5 wouldve been nice and more dishsoap. There were also no pot holder's to remove things from the oven. Overall. Great stay and we look forward to cominy back sometime!

Great location!!! Super close to great restaurants and shops. The Big Kahuna water park is literally right across the street and The Track Family Fun Park is less than 5 minutes away. The beach is absolutely beautiful. And my favorite part, the Tiki Bar by the pool that provides drink and food service while you’re on the beach.

Great place to stay!
This was our second time staying at Pelican Beach Resort, but first time in this condo! It was very nice, clean and comfortable! It had plenty of towels, wash rags and hand towels for the bathrooms! It had plenty of things for the kitchen as well as bedding/pillows! We will definitely keep this condo in mind for next year as we travel to Destin once each summer and have since I was little (I’m 38 now)! Book this condo, you won’t be disappointed!

What a fantastic stay! The condo was beautiful, the views to the Gulf, amazing, and the fact that one of the pools was perfect for our grandchildren - icing on the cake!!The best tidbit we got from the owners was to book our beach chairs and umbrellas early, which we did. Booking early meant a front row seat on the beach every day!

We've stayed at The Pelican Beach Resort 4 times now because it's always a great place to stay. The condo we stay in is spacious, clean and has a great view. We love to sit on the patio in the mornings and watch the sea life in the emerald waters before anyone hits the beach! The staff is extra friendly and helpful.
