Relax on our balcony and enjoy the direct view of the beach that Southern Living Magazine voted #1 in the United States! Located on the 17th floor, watch the dolphins play in the beautiful emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Sunsets with the most vivid colors are especially memorable.

This condo has 18' Noce travertine tile, new LVP floors in the bedroom, a queen sleeper sofa, and much more. There are five other condos available one floor above if you have friends or family that would like to join you on your vacation.

This condo has a keyless entry - no key to pick up or send back and forth, no key to worry about losing at the beach. Less hassle and saves time.


The master bedroom has a king-size bed for your comfort as well as a private bath. Two bunk beds in the hall, a queen-size top grain, leather sleeper sofa and an additional full bathroom allow up to six people to sleep comfortably.

Location is always key and Pelican Beach Resort is very conveniently located. The condo is right across the street from the Big Kahuna's water park, very close to shopping and numerous great restaurants as well as many other resort activities. This newly remodeled condo is a great value right in the heart of Destin!

HURRICANES: Though I hate to mention it… If the area is under a Hurricane Warning issued by the National Weather Service, I will refund all of your money if you have not arrived yet or prorate the days that you are forced out. Believe me, my fingers are already crossed.

Check in was easy and the condo was right on the beach. The view was spectacular. Only tiny complaint was the shower didn’t have great water pressure. Honestly, that’s the only complaint. It was wonderful staying here.

Wonderful Stay

We stayed for the month of February as our first snowbird trip. The condo was everything we expected, the view was of the highest grade, with no major issues and Missy and Greg were friendly and pleasant to deal with! The Pelican Beach Resort is an excellent place to stay in Destin. It has been around since my own parents were snowbirds, and our families have not found another place in Destin where we would rather stay. Bring some binoculars to watch the dolphins and all the other marine wildlife from your balcony!

Winter getaway

Easy to find. Smooth check in process. Stunning views from the 17th floor. Easy beach access. Loved the heated pools and hot tub. So many friendly people from various parts of the world staying in the condo. Enjoyed the conversations. Pelican Beach Resort was very good about keeping the sand off the floors and out of the elevators. I’ve been to expensive hotels in the area and they don’t keep it clean like Pelican Beach did. Always smelled nice and clean in lobby and elevator Staff was always pleasant. .

Check-in process was easy as we got to bypass the front desk and go straight to the door. The place was exactly as in the pictures very clean very spacious. In a good location we did not have a car so we were able to walk across the street to the grocery store, and a couple of different restaurants. Beautiful view beautiful beach!
