I enjoyed my stay. The oven in the condo needs cleaned.

Check in was a breeze. Plenty of good parking. The elevators are a nightmare. Of the 5 that I saw, only 2 were ever working at once so it took forever to catch a ride on one that wasn’t full. I waited over 20 minutes with our bags on the dolly waiting for an empty enough elevator to squeeze onto. Me and my girlfriend both slept terrible on the bed and the pillows are cheap. But outside of those 3 things, it was amazing! 3 pools and big hot tubs. Tiki bar with drinks and food. Right on the beach. The condo was spacious. Our daughter loved the bunk bed in the hallway (cut into the wall). Plenty of stuff in the kitchen for use. We didn’t think to bring any Tupperware so make sure you bring that. The host was great and responsive. There was a minor issue on the first day and the host had someone out within the hour to fix it. We would definitely come back.

Everything about this trip was easy. The location was perfect in relation to everything in Destin, but the location of this specific condo was also great. I hope to stay here again next year!

The condo itself was clean, the location was fine, and the host was very responsive—which we appreciated. However, there were several disappointments that affected our overall experience. When we arrived, we discovered there was a coffee pot but no coffee filters, which was frustrating as I was really looking forward to my morning coffee. We had to use a paper towel as a makeshift filter. There were also no basic seasonings in the kitchen—not even salt and pepper—so definitely bring all your own supplies.We were especially disappointed with the Pelican Resort. It was extremely overcrowded and stressful. The beach umbrella situation alone felt chaotic, and one afternoon when a storm rolled in, my children and I were trying to get back to the condo but were nearly trampled by the mass of people rushing in from the beach. It genuinely felt unsafe with how packed and frantic it got. Destin in general has become so crowded—it felt more like a theme park than a relaxing beach getaway.If you’re looking for a quieter, more laid-back vacation, this might not be the best fit. That said, the condo itself was as described and the host was great.
