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 18th floor, watch the dolphins play in the beautiful emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

This unit has a king size bed in the master bedroom. The bedroom has new LVP floors and an updated bathroom. This condo has a keyless entry pad for easy access.

Two bunk beds in the hall, a queen-size 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!

Wonderful family resort.
We enjoyed our stay at the pelican. The resort was clean. Security was very diligent about checking arm bands. Which is appreciated to keep the facility limited to people staying in the resort. Tiki bar staff and waitress Whitney was very helpful, friendly and attentive. The poolWas clean and checked daily. Ivar from dolce vita did an amazing job taking care of beach service was awesome and well worth every penny. The view from our room was amazing. We had everything we could have possibly needed in our condo. We so enjoyed our stay!
