Great stay. One pool (the biggest one) was not heated but the beach, resort and condo are perfect. A little hiccup with the resort management and painting the floors, but Communication with Chris was good so it made up for it. I highly recommend renting here.

Updated comfortable and clean

We booked this condo for a beach volleyball tournament and it was perfect! The communication from day 1 was quick and thorough. I had some questions as we booked several units through different companies and hoped for them to be close. This unit was the nicest that we booked. It was more updated and had a great feel. It was very comfortable. The kitchen has everything we needed. It was a quick walk to the beach across the street through the sky bridge. Walking distance to food and bars. The lazy river and hot tubs were a hit. Will absolutely book this one again!

Presser Beach trip

We enjoyed the pool areas for the kids . Everything was in walking distance and this was very nice , So many sweet families all around enjoying all that you have to offer . We all agree the only change we would suggest is new rug in LR and new cleaning products for the floors. Other then this we had everything we needed. We would book again, particularly having kids, Great place to stay.

Nice place to stay.

The property is nice. We loved the fact that we could swim in the gulf, in the bay, or the pools. The biggest flaw we saw was the cleanliness at check in. They charge alot for a cleaning fee and the condo should reflect that. Overall, we would definitly stay here again, we had a great time.

Looked better in pictures

This unit was not adequately cleaned. Toilet in Master was broke and took almost 48 hours to fix. Refrigerator had mismatched handle that someone attempted to replace. And it was broken. Dryer vent was broken and and is definitely a fire hazard. Beds were difficult to sleep in due to worn down mattresses. Stove top was sadly abused and scratched. Shame someone would treat a unit like this. Overall, not a great experience for us. We won’t be back to Pelican.

Excellent Location

We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back to stay here. The check-in process was easy and convenient. Chris communicated everything we needed to know in order to make the most out of our stay. We enjoyed all the wonderful pools and the Lazy River. The beach was a short walk across the road, and was never overcrowded. Everyone was super nice and showed great southern charm. You will not find this easy-going laid back, friendly demeanor in people up north. Thanks for a stress free week of living!

Beautiful area!

Perfectly placed in the middle of all the shopping and entertainment. The price isn’t painful either. The beach is right across the street but if you have disabled ppl in your party that can’t walk the distance across the bridgeway then you can drive to the parking garage across the street and follow the signs to the beach ramp. They rent chairs and umbrellas for $25, the guy running the chair rental was the nicest most polite young man. The place was exactly as described, clean and cozy. Lots of extra pillows and towels in the room. Right above the lazy river, but not noisey at all. Pools were all well maintained every morning. Only issue we had was the door code, we tried 1 minute early to get in and it wouldn’t work. We called the property manager listed in our email (don’t go to the front desk) and he returned our call within minutes but we had already gotten in the room. So just a little FYI if you try early it wont work and takes 2 mins for the door to reset itself for you to try again. It would be nice if they put that in the email so dumbies like us know. I will stay again and will recommend to everyone.

Great stay for the family.

Definitely a kid friendly trip. Lots of families around the resort. If you are looking for something quieter, I would stay on the other side. The building itself never felt crowded and there was never a wait for the elevator. The condo was very nice and the kids loved the bookroom!

Destin West Bayside was perfect for our family. Kids loved the pools more than the beach!

The pros: Easy rental and communication from the property team. Super clean unit! Loved the lazy river and pools on the bayside more, it seemed like everyone hung out there so it was busy. Walking across to the beach wasn't bad, and the multiple pools were excellent! The elevator/parking/pool areas never seemed crowded, except midday on the bayside pools. I wish the lazy river was warmer in March so I could enjoy its beauty more! The cons: Needs more chairs or per room chair limit to sit by the pool because some people put their towels on 4 or 5 chairs then don't use them hardly. The oven and flat top doesn't cook evenly. The master bed is too hard and needs a memory foam topper deseperatly (the couch bed was more comfortable). The gate to the pool area slams loudly, when sitting on the balcony it dampens the otherwise serene experience. We loved staying here 4.5/5 ⭐️

Nice place! Would stay again!

Overall, we had a great experience! Our only complaint would be that 30 minutes prior to our check out time, the cleaning lady knocked on our door and stated we had to be out by 10am (which we were obviously already aware of). She then stood RIGHT outside our door waiting for the next 30 minutes making us feel very uncomfortable. It was incredibly rude. However, we realize this is certainly a reflection of the cleaning crew, not the condo itself. Again, other than that, great place!
