A GUEST SAID…
"Your decor is like walking into a scene out of House Beautiful... simply gorgeous. The beds are more comfortable than the ones we have at home.”

RECENTLY UPDATED
We have completed a beautiful make-over of our home on the beach. The kitchen was stylishly updated with handsome new granite countertops, new Kohler fixtures and a new contemporary flat-top range. The kitchen is fully outfitted so you can cook, prepare toast, make coffee (pod or drip), blend drinks and eat in. The great room provides a lovely conversation area where guests can gather and sit in full view of emerald waters. Everyone can watch a new LG 4k 65" UHD TV. and keep in touch back home on their wireless devices with their jealous friends. A modern stack washer/dryer and automatic dishwasher are included inside the condo.

ELEGANT DÉCOR
… abounds especially with new feature artwork, a leather rocker-recliner plus a stylish sofa and pillows. The teal ottoman opens to reveal hidden storage. There is plenty of living space for your crew in a relaxed and open floor plan. The photos here tell all.

ENJOY HUNDREDS OF HDTV CHANNELS
… with FREE ESPN, HBO and Showtime on our new LG 65" 4k UHD TV and a Blu-ray player to boot. We keep a nice selection of movie DVDs and music CDs on hand for our guests.

SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS
The master bedroom boasts a king-size bed with luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets, wall-mounted TV, night stand, dresser, closet, and full bath. There’s another full bathroom (with a glass-enclosed shower) adjacent to our custom built-in bunk area. Each bunk also offers its own TV and remote for the kids! They’ll love it. The queen-size sofa sleeper in the great room includes a mattress with a memory-foam topper for added comfort. Altogether, you can sleep six guests in all the comforts of home.

DINING AREAS
The interior dining area and breakfast bar in the great room can easily seat six… be it for dinner, games or work. Or... sit back and grab a snack out on the balcony table, listen to the surf and enjoy a libation.

AN OUTDOOR PARADISE
Besides having one of the finest beaches found anywhere in the world, you can enjoy Pelican Isle’s large freshwater, seasonally heated pool. Sip a drink while you lay out on lounge chairs that surround the pool area or jump in our pool-side Jacuzzi spa. Want to work out? Jump on our condominium's treadmill or elliptical trainer in the fitness center.

AREA ENTERTAINMENT
Bring your fishing gear. Okaloosa Island prides itself on its massive fishing pier, boardwalk and public esplanade with dining and entertainment attractions directly on the Gulf of Mexico. Why not take in a show at the Gulfarium, the gulf-side marine park featuring sea lions, dolphins and a host of other sea life? You'll have fun activities available within minutes away like parasailing, playing tropical golf, testing your skills in a batting cage and much, much more.

Explore the pristine unspoiled National Seashore with miles of unspoiled beauty right next to this beautiful resort. If it is fine dining and power shopping you want, your crew is in for a treat. There's an unlimited supply of tempting eateries and shopping in Fort Walton Beach or just 6 miles down the road in Destin.

A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH
Pelican Isle is a spectacular condominium resort on famed Okaloosa Island (only a few miles west of Destin) which unfolds with wonders just waiting to be discovered. Unlike condos in Destin and Panama City, this quiet island paradise in Fort Walton Beach has no noisy through-traffic.

Stroll peacefully in the morning along an endless beach of powder-white sand. You can kick back on your balcony, listen to the surf, sip a cold beverage and enjoy the spectacular view. You may well spot dolphins playing in the water right in front of you. Or… walk out onto our pristine beachfront, lie out on the beach and soak up the sun. Enjoy swimming in crystal-clear, turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico. There’s absolutely nothing between you and the beach... no road to cross.

MAKING A RESERVATION IS QUICK AND EASY!
Check the calendar for an open week and use your credit card to cover the deposit and the VRBO reservation fee. Then, you’re all set. Online reservations are automatically accepted. We would be happy to answer your questions and block your desired dates.

TRAVELING TO FT. WALTON BEACH
Fly directly into FWB, Pensacola or Panama City. Or… you can hop into your car and be at the Pelican Isle in just 6 hours from Atlanta, 4 hours from Birmingham, 3 from New Orleans and 8 hours from Memphis or Nashville.

BEACH SERVICE INCLUDED
Walking up and renting daily beach service down on the shore would normally cost you $175 or more for the week. Ouch! Instead, we have contracted for one set-up of two lounge chairs and an umbrella for your week. The fee for the weekly beach service in season (March - October) is $69, which is listed as an "admin fee" under Host Fees within your quote.

ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE PROTECTION INCLUDED
Our guests tell us they really appreciate that we no longer collect a $500 damage deposit. It's just too much upfront cost and hassle for guests waiting for the return of their deposit post-stay. To protect guests from absorbing the costs of any accidental damage they may cause, we collect a $65 fee per stay for up to $3,000 of damage protection (e.g. broken appliances, furniture, dishes, glasses, stains, screens, glass and tile). This fee is listed as a "property fee" under Host Fees in your quote. Any damage you cause must be reported directly to us (the property owner) by phone or email prior to the end of your stay for the coverage to apply. By making this reservation, the guest also agrees to be responsible for damages incurred over $3000.

DETAILS:
-- Housekeeping charge per stay: $145.
-- Online reservations are processed through VRBO using a credit card.
-- A deposit with VRBO is due at booking; balance due 30 days prior to stay.
-- Lodging tax (state, county & local) in this Florida location--13%
-- Admin charge listed as a "service fee" in quote is retained by VRBO, not the owner.
-- Maximum of 6 guests allowed. At least one guest must be 25 years or older.

Beach get away
Loved our stay. Condo was exactly as described. I normally do not sleep well because I’m used to our Tempur-Pedic bed but the bed was amazing. The beach service was wonderful. The beaches were not overly crowded. Will definitely stay again.

Amazing location, awesome condo!
My family and I had a great time staying at this property. Pictures were spot on, and the condo was clean and welcoming. We felt at home staying here. Perks we weren’t expecting were the umbrella and chairs in the room, as well as boogie boards and sand toys on the balcony. Definitely will stay here again!

Great Location on Ft. Walton
We loved the beach location could not have been better. The condo was a bit smaller than I expected however we still loved our visit. Ft. Walton is our favorite beach. I loved the umbrella/chair service, it’s really great amenity provided by the host. The primary bedroom has a very comfortable bed.

Had a great trip even though we had some bad weather. At at some of our favorite places--Dewey Destin's, Stewby's, Buffalo Reefs(best wings), AJ's at the Bayou, The Shack, and of course the Donut Hole. Spent time on the beach, loved the calm waters and then loved the wild waves. Love all our time at Okaloosa Island. You will never find a better place.

What a view!
Perfect location with amazing gulf view right off the balcony. Just steps from the beach so the sound of the waves is easily heard. Loved the level we were on—just high enough to see the beach over the dunes, but not high up where people look like ants. Would definitely stay again in November. It was still very warm and sunny, but there were NO crowds.

Beautiful, quiet, relaxing!
We very much enjoyed our stay in this condo. We come to Okaloosa Island almost every year and stay somewhere different each time. The condo was towards the end of Santa Rosa Blvd, which we enjoyed very much! The view from the condo balcony is beautiful! We did end up having to take the comforters off the bunk beds for the master bed because we got cold at night and there were no extra blankets anywhere, but that was minor. We never had to reach out to the owners so that was good as well. The check in process is good - we got there around 2:00 and checked to see if we could get in the condo but we couldn’t. The lock is set not to allow you access until 3:00 as long as the cleaning is done. We have stayed at other places where they would allow you to get into the condo as early as the cleaning was done, sometimes as early as noon. Overall, the condo was clean and nice, and we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Two years in a row, our stay was as expected, the owners always provide all of the information before you arrive so the check in process is easy. Carl called to inform me about the microwave replacement within minutes of our arrival. The view is always amazing and we enjoyed the upgrades to the condo from last year. We can’t wait to go back.

About the host

Hosted by Marynell Christenson

Host profile image
We each grew up in the Midwest, moved to Atlanta and after 30 years retired to Decatur, Alabama. Back to the small town way of living. The gulf coast has always had a magical draw for us. We truly enjoy sharing our condo with guests so they can enjoy the Gulf of Mexico and relax. Many of our guests come back year after year so we must be doing something right.

Why they chose this property

Pelican Isle is ideal. We like that it is only 7-stories tall and missing the inevitable elevator waits on those 30-floor high-rise condos in Destin. Okaloosa Island is quiet since it has no through traffic. So, you are away from the maddening traffic of Destin and Panama City but still close enough to shop and dine. We enjoy to travel... not only to our vacation home on the gulf coast, but also to many Caribbean islands. Still, we have never found a more beautiful powder, white-sand beach than the one at our own condo. We are into contemporary furnishings and have lavishly decorated this condo. You won't find common beach rental décor here-- no white painted furniture, pelican pictures or coral-painted walls. We do an update of some kind every year and have been told by local realtors that it's likely the most beautifully decorated condo at Pelican Isle.

What makes this property unique

Several excellent restaurants exist right on the island and many more can be found in Ft. Walton Beach if you don't want to make the 6 mile trek to Destin. Downtown Ft. Walton is just a couple miles away, which includes a handy Publix supermarket. There's no need to travel far to find good dining. We provide our guests with a listing of restaurants that are sure-fire hits in the area. Our 'Top 3' favorites... Marynell and I especially love Stewby's Seafood Shanty, Clemenza's Italian Cuisine and the Magnolia Grill... all right here in Fort Walton Beach.
