Wonderful Girls Getaway Week

The property was in a wonderful and easy to get around location. We only walked and rode bikes! No rental car. Amenities were wonderful! Didn't get to use the Tiki Hut as the weather did not cooperate for the opening day:(. The unit itself was great. Maybe the cleaning crew could have a bit of an eye for detail in the bathrooms. Floors corners ect. Was great to have 2 master spaces. The balcony is awesome. Kitchen well stocked. Washer and Dryer a nice plus. Thank you

Great location!

We recently started at this location for the weekend. You literally step off the walk way from the condo and you are on the beach! The heated pools were amazing our December get away. The beds! Ahhh! Slept amazing! Wish there were beach towels for guests, as we only had a carry on luggage & couldn't pack those...but there than that, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! Thanks for a great birthday weekend!

Family trip

What a great family trip with my mother. This was our first trip to Florida. The unit was even better thank the pictures showed and described. Unit had so much more than you’ll need. Every dish and utensil that you’ll need. They even gave us a starter pack of dish soap, hand soap, cloths detergent, etc. The views from the unit and master were totally worth it. Don’t let the side unit deter you. Very beautiful!! Both beds were extremely comfortable. We even had tons of games, puzzles, and binoculars. We can’t sleep with a fan and since we flew in we didn’t have one. No worries there was one there waiting for us. The washer and dryer cane in handy. Pelican is so close to everything. With the August heat we of course drove but barely used any gas because it’s so close. Win Dixie is across the street and Walmart is just down the road. Tiki bar and pools were amazing!! Loved having drinks and food right there. Set up beach service before we came and it was worth it and they did a great job. Just can’t say enough about the location and unit. Thanks again for a wonderful time and we will definitely be booking next year with the family.

Pelican Beach - Destin

Condo was fine as listed, property (Pelican Beach) is run like a summer camp with rules for all their campers. Security is constantly watching you, telling you where to go and what to do. Front desk was rude and unhelpful (couldn't /wouldn't recommend anything in the area). They keep everything relatively clean, but they close pools and beach at the first drop of "weather in the area" and keep it closed. County lifeguards patrolled beaches constantly and about ran over children playing in the sand. They do not allow private set-ups on the beach (you have to rent to see the ocean) and cram you in like sardines making you stay under your umbrella (to make room for the lifeguards on 4wheelers). miserable experience! Go somewhere else! This felt like we were on lockdown. 👎

Great views

The property was great. Under construction but everything was still able to be used. The room was fairly clean. I don’t think the floors had been swept or mopped in months. My small children’s feet stayed black and were unable to walk barefoot. The air quit working about 8 pm and we reported it. We were told it would be the next day before anyone could check it out. Which wasn’t great to not have air with small kids. Overall a good stay.

Easy booking! Excellent Hosts! We asked for a re-cleaning of the floors and the jumped right on it, as well as getting the bathroom sink unclogged! No issues that they didn’t jump right on! I only wished we had been able to check In early (if cleaning people were done). That is the ONLY thing! The room was nice, stocked with plenty of cookware, dishes and complimentary dish soap and toilet paper (enough for a couple days)! We loved our vacation!

Nothing short of wonderful

My husband and I plus our 3 kids stayed very comfortably in this beautiful CLEAN condo. I loved the washer and dryer in the room- made the trip home easier. They had both a Keurig and a drip coffee machine {swoon}, a fully stocked kitchen, nice rooms, nice sofas, and a SPECTACULAR view. We are sad to return to normal life. I would 100% stay here again. The one thing I saw in other reviews (so I was prepared) was about the umbrellas/chairs on the beach. If you want a setup in the first row, I would recommend contacting the chair company (la dolce vita) when you book your stay to get a good spot, they are reasonably priced at least. We didn’t and there were only back row setups left. So we just used the chairs and umbrella graciously provided in the room and set up behind the rows for free. Also, after 4 pmish they all pack up and you can move to the front for the afternoon. Overall, we loved our stay.

Clean & Restful Giveaway with GREAT view!

We had such a great stay. I’ve stayed in many condos at the Pelican Beach Resort and this was one of the better ones! It’s higher up, but I loved the view and deck! The deck is bigger than the other condos. I would work or read outside on the table and listen to the ocean. It was very clean. Has everything you need in kitchen! Owners were very responsive! I would stay here again. You won’t be dissappointed.

Phenomenal view

My stay at this property was amazing! The view was to die for! Being able to watch the sun rise and set each night from the beach was perfection! My only complaint is that the master bathroom tub would fill with water and take forever to drain. So when showering I’d be standing in ankle deep water. But again, the view overrode any complaint I could have!
