Awesome place to visit
We had a great time, great location, the unit was really cute and everything was clean… the only issue with the unit we had was that it was very difficult to open the balcony door at the back of the unit.. if my husband wasn’t there, I’m not sure we would have gotten outside. If that gets fixed, it’d be perfect! We’ll definitely make another trip in the future. Gorgeous view. Really nice place.

Wonderful!
This vacation property was exactly as pictured, and we enjoyed our stay immensely. We have stayed in multiple VRBOs, and this was the first comfortable master bed we have slept on. The property was very well maintained, and employees constantly checked to ensure those in and around the pool were facility members. I was worried about the potential young springbreaker crowd around my young kids but found this was never an issue. The pool hours and music were regulated by facility staff with professionalism and were never an issue. It was a lovely vacation, and I hope we can return someday.

Love this area, but condo
The location of the condo and the area is gorgeous. We love to vacation here. However things in the condo were not up to par for this area. The ice maker didn’t work all week, shelves and doors were broken in the fridge. The property management company was not timely in responding to any of our requests and they enter the condo without notifying us of when they would be there. We had friends who stayed in another condo and they did not have the issues that we do. Communication is imperative and they were not timely with their responses.

Best Beach Getaway
This was our first VRBO rental. Very pleased. Carefree check-in is the best! Also loved the keypad entry - no keys to keep up with. Unit was just as described. Lots of room, never felt cramped with 5 adults. Kitchen very well stocked. End unit meant little to no noise from neighbors. Pools and lazy river were clean and well kept. King bed and bunks comfortable. Didn’t use sofa bed. Chair bed in master is not comfortable at all so we used an air mattress. Sofas in living area comfortable. Loved the skywalk over to the gulf side. We did have an issue with dryer sounding like it was going to explode at midnight - called emergency number who walked us through turning it off. We were told it would be repaired 2 days in a row while we were there. It was not. Note for next time to bring enough clothes if unable to wash/dry. Again, we were still very pleased with the unit and resort and would definitely choose this unit again. Would love if all rental agencies/owners would put a resort map in the unit as well.

Another Owner was a Tyrant!
The condo was great! It has plenty of linens and kitchen supplies. I recommend you bring toilet paper because they only left us about 1/4 roll. The pool area was nice except for this lady named Julie. She is one of the owners and would harass everyone as they entered the pool. She even harassed an 8 year old special needs child and argued with the parents about his age. She made the entire week very unpleasant. She had her pool boy come to o our table and lower the umbrella because it was raining. All of our phones and personal items got soaked. It was not windy nor lightening. It would have been great if she wasn’t there to harass people.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was very nice and the resort amenities were amazing! I’ve rented several condos/house and the only disappointments were the Wi-Fi & lack of kitchen supplies. The internet speed was the worst only get amount 1 mb speed, for the kitchen the Toaster didn’t work and besides dishes there wasn’t really anything else ( Cling wrap, aluminum foil, spices, etc.).

Great Family Vacation
The condo was cute, clean and a great location to lazy river. Just a short walk to the beach. We've been to Destin West the last 5 summers and this condo was the best! We had an absolute blast with family and friends that stayed at Destin West also.

Pelican 301 is THE BEST at Destin West
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This particular unit has to be the best one in my opinion. Looks exactly like the pictures. It is an end unit so you get the bonus of having the side windows and get the extra sunshine that other units don’t get. What you don’t see in the pictures is that there is a balcony in the master bedroom as well. Very close to the elevators and stairs as well as the crossover to take you to the gulf-side. The owner was very sweet and friendly. She called me early that morning as we were driving down to let me know the previous tenants had checked out early and to call her when I made it to town and if the unit was clean, we could go ahead and check in. GREAT! We arrived around 3, and called her and she said to go ahead. Got there, only to be greeted by the RUDEST housekeeper who wanted to know why we were there and that we had no business being there before 4. I explained the situation and the unit was clean so I’m not sure why she was so angry. Then a male manager comes in and takes some of our bracelets and tells us not to go on the balcony unless we want to sit in there for three or four days with no air like previous tenants had. This literally all happened within the first 3 minutes of walking in the door. So we never enjoyed the balcony. The master bedroom toilet has issues. It runs for a while. And several of the bowls in the kitchen are chipped.

The week we stayed started out ruff due to the tropical storm that came in but every issue we had was taken care of by Tj, Julie,Robyn, and Jennifer. This condo was just what we needed and every need was met. The staff was very helpful when my daughter left an item at the resort. I would highly recommend staying at the resort and the lazy river was amazing.
