About this property

Pelican Beach Resort! Fantastic Views of the Gulf!

When you’re ready for a family vacay, head to Pelican Beach 405, a Gulf-front condo located right in the heart of Destin.  With stunning views and tons of amenities, your only question will be, why didn’t we book sooner!

Pelican Beach 405 is a lovely fourth floor condo with one bedroom and two baths accommodating up to six. The views don’t get much better than from the living room, with a sofa, love seat, and flat-screen TV. Come together for a game of cards at the table with seating for four, or gather at the breakfast bar for morning coffee. Take in the views from the kitchen while preparing quick snacks for the pool or beach, then head out onto the private balcony with a favorite book before an afternoon catnap. You’ll find cozy sleeping arrangements in the master suite with a king-sized bed, flat-screen TV, and en suite bath. The kids will love the twin bunks nestled in the hall, while the sofa sleeper in the living room provides additional sleeping arrangements.

You’ll find tons for the whole family to do right on the property, including shared swimming pools, a hot tub, two fitness centers, and a stunning stretch of beach right out back. With Big Kahuna’s Water and Adventure Park just across the road and The Track’s go-karts and miniature golf course less than a mile away, you won’t have to travel far to enjoy Destin’s most popular attractions. Packed with restaurants, shopping, and activities, the Destin boardwalk is just minutes away, and the perfect spot to rent a watercraft for the day!  Whether you prefer lounging by the pool, taking strolls along the beach, or shopping until you drop, you’ll find Pelican Beach 405 the perfect launchpad for your next getaway!

Spring Break Stay

First- the view here is unreal and makes it worth the price. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped. The elevators are right around the corner and getting to the beach is so easy. We had a wonderful time. The unit could use some updates (worn condition). Would recommend at this price! We made great memories.

Could’ve been better

I developed a rash from a seriously overused hot tub. The bracelets and security on site were a little over the top and my mom wanted to come visit for an hour and the front desk gave me absolute hell about it even though they told me it would be fine before I checked in. One elevator was out of order the whole time which meant we could never get an elevator down to the beach and had to carry all our beach stuff down the stairs. Little small inconveniences that started to add up over time that makes me think I’ll look elsewhere next Springbreak.

2nd stay

This was our 2nd time staying at this resort and we love it. The room itself is great, clean and had everything we needed. Not a fan of how over crowded the resort seems, pools are always super packed.

Our condo was very clean and nice. The view from the balcony was breath taking, and the beach access was very nice. The pools were heated so it made our April trip very enjoyable.

Nice family vacation

Great location. We were able to see dolphins one morning while on the balcony. Room was nice and clean. Only reason for not 5 stars is the water pressure in the master bath, pressure was too low. The guest bath was just fine.

Great views with lots of property amenities

Overall we really enjoyed out stay. Below are pros/cons; PROS: Condo is a great space with amazing views. Good sized kitchen and to good sized bathrooms. Pelican Beach resort has tons of amenities to include 3 pools, private beach, tiki bar, and a gym. CONS: We had to buy things like salt, pepper, cooking spray, and coffee filters. I think these should be considered as something you supply those renting the property. Overall would definitely stay here again, but we would know that we need to buy a few more things than expected typically with a VRBO.

Destin Property

This was a perfect accommodation for two people. The view and beach access were superb. Balcony seating, which was important to me, was comfortable. The only downside to this property was a lack of in-condo laundry facilities.

Review

Everything was good except the couch was dirty and stained badly. With just our stay alone, I believe you all can afford 2 new couches. We covered them both with sheets in order to feel comfortable to sit on them. Also, the bottom of the shower curtain was dirty and should be changed.

Middle of the road

The condo needs updated. Master bath def needs renovated. Hooks throughout the condo would be helpful especially in masterbath. The bathroom liner/curtain needs replaced black mold. The location is great, view is great. They need to spruce it up for the price they are charging.
