I have stayed at the Pelican a few times but this condo has been the best. It was clean, nicely decorated, and comfortable. The kitchen had all the necessary utensils and cookware. The view of the gulf and beach from the balcony is spectacular. The beach is literally a short ride down the elevator and a few steps outside. We used the chair and umbrella rentals while there but the room did have a couple beach chairs. We did not have to reach out to the owners however they were responsive with check in info and upon check out. We are pleased with our stay and will use this property again!

We spend a great vacation time at this property. Great location with beautiful view. Fully stock with essentials. We loved that they have an Air Fryer. Thank you

Stay was great, excellent location to a beautiful beach. Beach chairs are at the property as well as an umbrella so no need to rent the expensive ones! Stove was great and they had both style of coffee makers. Communication was excellent. A few normal issues just with “condo” living, some louder folks above us, wear and tear of the condo itself, but a great place to unwind while being out all day.

The resort is amazing and unit has everything you can ask for from views to updated bathrooms. All dishes were nice and air fryer helped out tremendously. Had a slight problem with the cable not working but the host got right back to me and walked me through the issue. Would highly recommend

Bob’s condo was just perfect. You couldn’t have asked for a better view and location. Everything that you needed was all there in the condo. My kids and I really enjoyed our stay. Bob made everything especially checking in with ease. He was very easy to get in touch with and answered any questions I had right away. I would definitely book this condo again in the near future.

Our family had a great time! Everything looked great and the view was amazing! We loved how convenient the location was to everything and how convenient everything was on the property. Seeing the fireworks on the beach was beautiful!!! We would definitely stay here again!

The condo had a terrible smell musty old mildew?! Possibly?

We were so happy with our stay and can’t wait to go back!! Everything was perfect - the unit, the property, the beach! Bob and his wife were fully transparent on the condos work being done and was great about offering options in regards to our stay.

Pros: Cute condo with amazing views. Spacious condo and had lots of kitchen necessities. Owner prompt with responses. Security on property was very visible. Great family vacation spot. Cons: Only negatives were lack of bath towels for family of 5, ocean front pool and hot tub closes at dusk, musty smell in condo, not enough toilet paper in restrooms for longer stays.

Updated clean condo fully equipped with all you need! Owner was great with communicating and would highly recommend. Pull out couch was comfy when needed. We brought our own light comforter . 1503 is right by W/D units across hall which is convenient. Repainting the outer building during break was a minor annoyance only one morning. Rent front row beach chairs and pay the premium! So worth it. Will be back!

Great condo and Bob the owner was excellent with his communication. Condo is very well equipped and perfect views of the gulf. Convenient to everything. We decided to stay an extra night and Bob had us booked within minutes. Great experience and highly recommend

This place was gorgeous and view was great! Loved sitting out on the balcony watching the dolphins! Water was beautiful and kids loved all the pools!

Have rented from this owner 4 years now and have always been pleased with our units and the helpfulness of the owner.

Amazing view!! Amazing communication with owner. Do not hesitate to contact with questions or issues. This building (as well as many others in the area) are being worked on thru spring. This off season may not be the one you want to travel here. But these owners definitely worked with us to make it right. We hope to try again someday as this unit and location were spectacular!!

My wife, 3, 6, and, 8-year old's drove 14 hours from Chicago to enjoy Destin and the awesome Pelican Beach Resort in which this condo is located. The weather can be hit or miss down in Destin in December, but the condo has 4 heated pools and 3 hot tubs to choose from. One of the heated pools is even indoors! Perfect for my small kids, and for those colder days. Now imagine arriving after a long day of travel and seeing ongoing construction, painting, and maintenance around 3/4 of the property. 3 out of 4 pools CLOSED. 2 out of 3 hot tubs CLOSED. Ok well let's make the best of it right? When we headed to the only pool available, we were walked thru a tunnel of scaffolding with wood dust, paint chips, drop cloths, and metal fencing with "do not enter", and "Pool Closed" signs. Sounds of hammering, saws cutting decking, scraping of metal, with the occasional nail gun firing could be heard. The only pool open was warm at times but large. The only hot tub available had a huge sign that read, "CHILDREN 15 years old and younger are PROHIBITED from using this hot tub." We also bought steaks and burgers to cook at the resort on their gas grills that are made available to guests, but those too were off limits due to the scaffolding and floating debris. We specifically chose this location back in October because we knew it had options for our kids if the surf was too rough or temperatures weren't ideal. Bob never mentioned any of this information. 4 messages were sent by Bob on the VRBO app before we arrived and none of this maintenance was ever disclosed. Nothing was mentioned anywhere of the work being done. I messaged Bob when we arrived to express our displeasure and he wasn't even available. Instead, his wife Eta responded stating she felt terrible and refunded us 50% of our room rate. She continued to say that they had no idea this was going on and the condo board only advised them that some activity was scheduled for "sometime in December". Yet when riding in the elevators on the property and hung in the lobby, were detailed schedules of their painting project and boardwalk replacement and the document was outlined with specific dates ranging from September 19, 2022 - May 26, 2023. We would of never of chosen this condo had we known of this scheduled maintenance. I can't help but feel as if this was done intentionally to get some money during an unrentable time. During normal operations this place is awesome. I advise to call the condo first.

Comfortable and had everything we needed.

We went on this trip as our family Christmas present. One day it rained, and we enjoyed playing games in the condo and shopping at the local mall. Other days, the weather was in the low 70’s. It was perfect for my small children to play in the sand on the beach and put their feet in the water. The heated outdoor pool at the condo was awesome and very kid-friendly. In the condo, the bunk beds were perfect for my kids. The master bedroom was able to be made totally dark, which was nice to put a pack n’ play for my baby. View from the room was beautiful, and we even saw dolphins from the balcony. Bob was friendly and communicated well.

We had a great stay at this property! The view was perfect and the condo was perfect size for our family. Perfect location right on the beach! Great communication by the seller very helpful!

Easy to rent and get ahold of owners

Awesome view and just as awesome of a experience . Condo was very clean , owner was prompt with any questions and a pleasure to deal with . We would definitely stay again

This condo was so cute and the view was amazing. I really loved how it was decorated and my kids especially enjoyed their bunk beds with personal tvs. Can't wait to come back again and again.

The view from the balcony is amazing! We could see dolphins and schools of fish each day. The size of the unit was perfect for our family. I loved the decor, and all was so clean. The convenient proximity to the white sand beach made our time there so much fun! We would LOVE to stay here again.

I had a great experience at the Pelican. Beautiful condo very well kept and clean. The sunrise and sunset were absolutely stunning and the large balcony allowed me to take in all the beauty the whole time I was there. I had one minor issue with getting locked out of the condo (due to time change issue) , but Bob promptly handled the situation so it was no problem. Would definitely love to stay again and bring my family with next time!

We stayed here for our family fall vacation. The place was updated, clean and spacious. The view was amazing! The beach was perfect, white sand and clear water. Short drive to boardwalk, restaurants and many activities! I would totally stay here again!

Beautiful unit with everything you need! Beautiful view and super convenient that it’s close to elevators. Love it!

Host was very responsive and detailed with check-in and out instructions. Beach was great, great location close to everything. Condo had everything you need for a great beach vacation.

We loved the room and so clean we enjoyed our stay

We had a great week in this condo. Amazing views. Property was clean inside and out. On-site security 24-7. The owner was very helpful with any questions we had. The only downfalls were the bed and the dolphin pool. The bed was very uncomfortable. The mattress was hard…which may be ok for some. The dolphin pool was very cold. Even with it being so hot outside, the pool was almost too cold. However, they have 2 other pools to enjoy. Overall, we had a good experience and will be back again.

Super clean and every amenity possible plus some. Even provided chairs and an umbrella. Beautiful view. Saw so many dolphins, manna rays, and even a couple of sharks (way out!) from our balcony. Owner was incredibly quick to respond. Highly recommend this condo.
