About this property

LOCATION, LOCATION! Luxury 3 Bdrm/2 Bth Condo with great Ocean, and harbor views

Beautiful, designer owned, luxury condo at the Pelican Beach Resort. The resort is made up of 2 buildings with shared amenities. Our condo is in the Terrace Bldg. which has 3 bed/2 bath units, 3 bed/3 bath units, and 2 bed/2 bath units. The Pelican building does not have 3-bedroom units. Steps to the Beach, featuring a large balcony to enjoy spectacular views of the ocean, lake and sunsets. Resort amenities include 4 Pools, 3 spas, 2 workout rooms, tennis courts, pickleball, conference rooms, Cafe/Market, and Beachside Tiki hut. Last year Southern Living Magazine Readers Poll rated our Beach as one of the top 3 most beautiful beaches in the United States. The Resort is located on the beach side of Highway 98 across from Big Kahunas Waterpark, putt-putt and track. Within 2 miles, you'll find the Harbor where you can enjoy waterfront dining, live music, fishing charters, boat and wave runner rentals and the Harborwalk Entertainment Complex including, Harry T's, AJ's, Dewey Destin, the Oyster Bar and Harbor Tavern, shopping & family activities. One mile East is the famous Back Porch, The Track & Putt Putt. We have many repeat renters and excellent reviews in our guest book.
An awesome Family Destination, our family has been vacationing in Destin for 20 years now and there is no place like it. The 8 of us enjoy the beach, the less crowded Terrace Pool, the new ocean front pool, going to Fishermans Wharf at the harbor for family fishing charters and walking the docks in the afternoon to see what all the fishing charters are bringing in for the days catch. It truly is the Worlds Luckiest Fishing Village. We stroll down the docks to AJ's on the harbor where the live music starts at 5pm every day and enjoy some fresh seafood. Another family favorite is walking east on the beach to the Back Porch for lunch. The bronzed Amberjack is always great! There are Kayak rentals, parasailing, and beach chairs and umbrellas to rent on the Beach in advance from Dolce Vita. At times the ocean is so still & crystal clear you can see a freckle on your toe in waist deep water. Other times the surf comes roaring in and then the waves are perfect for boogie boarding. Every day is a new day, but each one holds uncompromised beauty. The sunsets from our balcony or the beach are second to none!

The dining opportunities are endless! For Beachfront casual we like Pompano Joes or you can walk right off the beach in your flip flops, sand in your toes to the famous Back Porch. For elegant dining on the harbor the Marina Cafe. Boshamps on the harbor is another favorite. No trip would be complete without an evening at Baytown Village on the Bay. Lots of restaurants, shops, live music and family activities. Also do not miss the Harborwalk entertainment complex on the harbor with shops, fly overs and family dining at Harry T's, Dewey Destin, Harbor Tavern, and live music at The Oyster Bar or AJ's. Winn Dixie grocery is right across Hwy 98, as well as Another Broken Egg or you can walk to the Pancakery for breakfast or Cafe Capriccio.
A Fresh Market, and Whole foods are a few miles east and a Publix near the Bay bridge. Fresh seafood at Sextons, Destin Ice. If you love sushi go to Harbor Docks, very casual, and it's on the harbor. Biggest portions and best steak, pork chops & ribs are at McGuires. Go early or try carry out during the summer.

My family and kids enjoyed our stay at the condo! At first a little disappointed that we were not right on the ocean, but in the building by the street. Once we got used to the walk to the beach our building was great! The pool and elevators were less crowded and the parking much easier than the big building on the beach. Our condo was perfect for our kids and their friends and we really enjoyed our stay. We will be back to Destin!!

Enjoyed our stay!
T704 was clean, decorated well, and very comfortable for our family of 6 adults. Very short stroll down the path to the beautiful beach. The clear water and soft sand were wonderful. While I hated the cost and having to pre-reserve our beach chairs, I am glad we did it to be near the water and have the convenience of having them ready for us everyday. The Tiki bar was an added bonus for tropical drinks. The only small negative for me personally is I wish there were more walkable waterfront restaurants. I hate traffic and driving around here is very busy. Overall a wonderful trip.

Great location
Everything was easy to find. Upon arrival check in was super easy and quick. You are just a few minute drive from everything so location is great for that! 5 minute walk to the beach was no big deal we had 2 under 2 and a 3 year old we brought a sand wagon and it was perfect for them. We also rented beach chairs and umbrellas in advance which was super easy. Anytime the kids were to tired to go out to eat they have a great place to eat right off the beach. Everything was clean and the view from the balcony was great as well! Definitely will be going back.

Pelican Resort Condo stay
Good location as far as restaurant -- but too far from beach when you have toddlers with you. Surprised that the condo was so dated (especially bathrooms, kitchen appliances [front burner on stove did not work] and living room furnishings). Was surprised at the tiny TV's in two of the bedrooms, they were more like computer monitors. Batteries in remotes needed replacing, floor of old tub in one bathroom was badly stained and needed replaced. (I scrubbed and scrubbed when we first arrived trying to get it out) If you stay here, BYOP (bring your own pillows)! The ones supplied were flat (likely from Dollar General). People were not abiding by pool closure time -- very loud until 1-2 in the morning - lots of remodeling and construction going on. And what's with the having to wear resort arm bands 24/7?!!! While owners seem very nice, the price paid for this rental was too high for what we got.

Every thing was great other than the noise from the painter's at 7am when we had a 8hr drive. They were painting with white paint on our floor when we were leaving that got on us, our luggage and shoes.

Absolutely Amazing
I searched for almost a month and a half before I finally decided on renting this property. I was so worried the beach would be to far away for us to walk. It literally was only 5 minutes away. If you have a wagon to tote all your stuff to the beach I recommend taking it with you. It is hard to push in the sand but makes it so easy transporting everything back and forth. The condo was stocked with everything you would need just like you are back home. The view from the balcony is absolutely breathtaking!! You get to see the beautiful lake with the fountain in it and the ocean!!! If we ever visit Destin again, I for sure will stay here =) Thank you Cindy for sharing your property with my family!! This was our first family vacation in 10 years, I am thinking that since my hubby loved it so much we might be able to come back sooner than later!

Condo 704 was cozy and peaceful
Condo was very cozy, owner Cindy was friendly when I called with questions prior to arrival. The only cons were the beach associated with The Terrace and another huge condo was small and extremely crowded. We were the fourth row of umbrella and chairs so it was difficult to enjoy the water views.

Destin has the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. The Terrace is close to everything, the harbor, restaurants, shopping, fresh fish markets, Big Kahunas, the perfect family place and get away for adults. Great pool, new grills, work out room, onsite deli, beach side tiki bar, and beach service during season. The condo itself was wonderful, clean, well equipped with a large balcony to view the fantastic sunsets. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Crawford

Host profile image
Mike and I are from Cincinnati Ohio. We first brought our 3 sons here in 1999. Loved it so much we bought T704 in 2003. It is a magical place filled with years of memories. Its already our 9-year-old grandsons favorite place to visit. We have traveled all over the U.S., and we have seen many beaches, but Destin has the most beautiful sand, water and sunsets making it near and dear to our hearts. We are very fortunate to have a direct flight into VPS airport 25 minutes away. But it is also an eleven-hour drive.

Why they chose this property

Once you visit with us, you will know why. Wonderful! After 20 years we have not found a better resort or location. Everything about the Pelican Beach Resort is just what we wanted in a beach getaway. When we purchased the condo, we had 3 teenaged sons and there is a water park, go-carts, putt-putt, ice cream shop, beach store and breakfast restaurant within walking distance. Shopping, restaurants and entertainment options are conveniently located to the Pelican.

What makes this property unique

Location can't be beat. Steps from the most beautiful beach in the U.S. Having morning coffee on the balcony with an ocean view.
The sunsets from the balcony are the most spectacular I've ever seen, especially in the Fall. The amenities of the resort, 4 pools, 3 spa tubs, 2 work out rooms, tennis courts, a Deli/market on the property, Tiki Hut for beach beverages, beach service. Awesome.
