This casual Floridian condo offers fabulous views from its private, Gulf-front balcony up on the 10th floor, allowing you to see for miles! Enjoy a light and airy coastal feel throughout, as well as everything you could need to feel right at home. You'll be treated to full-size appliances in the well-equipped kitchen, a nice glass-top dining table with four chairs & three additional bar stools for quick breakfasts and homemade dinners alike. After a day of lounging on the white sand beach below, you can take advantage of the property's shared amenities - including swimming pools, a hot tub & two fitness centers - or curl up in front of one of the two TVs and two DVD players. At night, the master suite offers a king-size bed and an en suite bathroom with a shower/tub. There's a twin-over-twin bunk bed with cozy bedding in the hall, as well as a second full bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower.

You'll also be right in the midst of Destin's most popular attractions, with Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park practically across the road, The Track's go-karts and miniature golf course less than a mile east & the Destin Harbor Boardwalk just over two miles west. Tee off on the Seminole Course or the Choctaw Course at Indian Bayou Golf & Country Club (two miles northeast), find an assortment of eateries and grocery stores within a few minutes' drive (including Target and Winn-Dixie half a mile northwest) & enjoy the natural splendor of Henderson Beach State Park (two miles east).

Nice view, lanai was also nice. 3 pools and hot tubs a plus. Tiki Bar needs to be open later in the evening. Close to everything you would need. Unfortunately, bathrooms could have been cleaner also the floor needs to be moped. All in all it was fun time for my husband and me! Would like to go back, but maybe not through Vacasa.

The view was second to none and the patio furniture was lovely and very comfortable. The building itself always has construction going on, but this unit was great.

Clearly, no one cares about this place. The owner takes ZERO pride in this place

The view is the ONE positive. The building is under construction the elevators shut down off and on. Once for a day because they needs to change bulbs. The condo so I cared for it’s just sad.

We loved the pool’s, however our condo not so much. It was dirty. From the garbage disposal being clogged with hair!! To the the shower curtain mold… the sleeper sofa stains… the list can go on.

Stressful!!

Condo itself was not bad, The resort was way to crowded!!! never saw any staff unless behind a counter. Worst part was we paid for week rental of chairs and umbrellas and people literally come with their wagons and ALL their beach stuff and plop almost on top of you and are so rude!! They need some regulations for that for paying customers!! Two condos down that is NOT allowed. Didn't seem very relaxing when you have to hurry to claim a spot!!

Great views and amenities, upkeep needs work.

Upon arrival I reviewed that everything was clean, but during the stay I realized the pull-out couch had multiple soil stains, there was long blonde hair on the walls of the shower, and also the WiFi did not work the entire trip. The views and amenities were wonderful, but I will probably rent from a local person next year. I feel that they take more pride in their units. *I did call about the WiFi, was told it would be looked at. It never was and then I didn’t receive any more responses from host after I messaged again*

If you value comfort, this isn’t for you

The location was great but there are things that aren’t shown in the listing. 1. The bed was very uncomfortable that I couldn’t sleep most of the time making me tired all day and the 12 hour drive home miserable. 2. The appliances and furniture upkeep is nonexistent. They’re old with water damage and rust. 3. The towels provided were cheap and rough. The bed sheets were dirty. I felt like I was in a motel 6 that had condos. If they would take just a bit of time and money, they could have great potential for a fabulous condo. Now for the resort, 1. The hot tubs were broken during our stay due to the heat sensors going out, so they told us. 2. The pools were ice cold. While there are the everyone piled into the only less cold one. They said they won’t turn the heaters on for the pools until late October. 3. I’ve never had to worry about our stuff being stolen when on a beach vacation. Leave our stuff while we go into the ocean or pool, but our stuff was stolen here. Security said, “i don’t know what to do. You should get it back if you see someone with it.” 4. One security guard cared about his job too much while the other sat on his phone the entire time. The good. We had fun. My husband and I always find the fun especially on a vacation. The tiki bar was nice and the people were nice. Location is good. But so many other places have these positives along with a nice condo.

Not satisfied

The property is over crowded. There are 6 rows of beach chairs with no view of the water that far back and the ones at the water are booked out months in advance. Cannot use your own tents. The plugs in our room did not work. There is no washer and dryer in the room it’s outside the room for everyone to use and it was out of order. So a week with no washer and dryer. Beds were really uncomfortable. Ice maker didn’t work and no ice machine on the property. I emailed them to see if we could check in a little bit early and they wouldn’t let us, We were there and our room was ready just wouldn’t let us check in early. Overall annoyed and will not be staying at this condo or pelican beach resort again.

Beautiful home away from home

We loved the beach view and the ease of going out to the beach and then back to our room. The condo was decorated really cutely! Plenty of seats on the balcony to enjoy the sunset/rise. Beds were extremely firm (we are used to a foam mattress so a huge difference) but aside from that a wonderful vacation spot!

STAY ANYWHERE BUT HERE. Inaccurate online description, very misleading and dishonest host.

Let me preface this review by saying that my new husband and I are typically good at making the best out of crappy situations, that being said, this was our HONEYMOON and we did the best we could with an extremely crappy situation. We checked in with a lot of excitement, entered our room, loved the view and then shortly realized that the bedroom window was on the main hallway across from the laundry room (less than an unpleasant view, not even sure why there is a window in the bedroom at all to be honest), then we heard the most obnoxious construction noises coming from the room directly above us, the noise was so loud you couldn’t hear a tv, you couldn’t nap, you couldn’t sleep in, you couldn’t hear the ocean with the door wide open, and you couldn’t even play music. Needless to say, we basically never spent any time in the condo and that wasn’t what we had paid for. The construction workers start at 8am every morning, so throw sleeping in right out the window and they work until sundown. We have 2 small children and really looked forward to our honeymoon and sleeping in, taking naps, etc. I don’t know that we would’ve been able to sleep or nap comfortably anyhow due to the beds being the most uncomfortable beds I’ve ever laid on. We even tried sleeping on the pull out couch in hopes it could be comfier. Other than that ruining the entire condo experience for us this unit was nasty. Very gross stains on the couch cushions and pillows, the place was not swept before we arrived (floors were covered in sand). The last thing that really turned me off was that we had to go buy our own towels to dry off from a shower with. The towels provided are small enough to be a small toddler’s towel and were so rough I couldn’t even dry my face with it. We went and purchased our own $7 towels from the target across the street. I would have loved to message the property manager had I believed they would do anything to help make our stay better, but after reading other reviews and chatting with other people staying at the condos, it would have been a waste of my breath. Had we not already paid for our trip I would’ve wanted to leave early. The day before checking out I received an option to pay for late checkout and laughed, I would’ve loved to get money back for an early check out instead. In the description, yes it said there would be construction going on at the complex, NO it does not say that it will be in the room directly above you and ruin your trip.
