Pelican Beach Resort has 2 heated pools, one strictly outdoor (with waterfall) and an indoor/outdoor pool, a kiddy pool, sauna and a hot tub.

There is an extra large sun deck, great for tanning and socializing, located right next to the tiki hut, adjacent to the pool. In addition, there is a work out facility, game room, umbrella and chair rentals, tennis and basketball court, security at the entrance, covered parking, and a seasonal deli/restaurant/convenience store on site.

Located on the 8th floor where ocean/beach views can been seen from the living room, kitchen, dining room, and master bedroom, our 2 bedroom/ 2 bath condo comes fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. This condo has all the comforts of home such as Flat Screen LCD TVs, DVD player. This is a deluxe-plus rated unit at Pelican Beach, the highest rating possible.

Many of the restaurants nearby are well known in Destin. Silver Sands, a large factory outlet mall is seven miles east. The brand new Destin Commons outdoor shopping mall is at the corner of the Mid Bay Bridge and Hwy 98. It has a huge movie theater complex, Hard Rock Cafe, Bass Pro Fishing shop, Johnnie Rockets, and all the mall shops you have come to know and love in a beautiful outdoor setting. There are several fabulous golf courses in the area. Big Kahuna water park is a steppingstone away. Fort Walton Beach has a new pier to fish off of that is wonderful. And deep sea fishing is right up the street! Not to mention nearby grocery stores and a Target are within walking distance to stock up on food/supplies if you need anything during your stay.

Overall property was nice, the beach was beautiful with flour like sand . Condo unit was nice , very clean . It was a bit older than expected … We would have liked some warmer weather to sit out on balcony ,that can’t be controlled , however we made the best of it .couldnt believe how busy the road was. It’s a good place for families with children with amusement parks etc around

Mommy's Timeout!

What a fantastic place, property, location...lots to walk to and getting grocery deliveries was so easy! Everything about this stay was great! We cooked meals each day, utilized the Cafe by the pool a couple times and walked to dinner a few nights. Highly recommend Mimmos Italian Restaurant. Thank you to these amazing hosts for their hospitality; answering all of our questions and making everything so seemless! We hope to visit your beautiful place again in the future.

Cute & Cozy

We enjoyed every moment at Pelican Beach Resort. Unit was clean and all appliances/outlets worked as they should. There were plenty of towels and tp for our visit. Just enough room for our little family to enjoy and still get comfy. This unit had the best access to parking, indoor/outdoor pool, and the café. The view is stunning from the balcony. We were able to relax and enjoy the quiet, with very little noise from surroundings (some restoration work going on during day time). We hope to be able to return in the future!
