Perfect beach view! Balcony was perfect to start the day listening to the waves, reading a book with a cup of coffee. Check-in at the front desk was smooth. Condo was clean. Only thing missing was tissues but that was an easy pickup at the grocery store. Both pools were nice. Being able to book beach chairs and umbrella in advance was convenient.

The condo was exactly as described. The view from the balcony was amazing! The only part i would have liked better was a deeper clean. The drapes in the living room are stained with red (looked like blood but could be wine or some other red drink) and extremely dusty on the top. The bed was comfortable for those liking a firmer mattress, however it was too high for my liking. Still was able to find comfort while resting. Location of property was great for us, resort was very secure and overall very clean. The employees at the resort were very polite and helpful. Hosts check in email was great and useful. Parking was great since the resort was not so busy. I can see issues during peak time but for us it worked perfectly. The pools and hot tubs were perfect! Beautifully maintained. If I ever decided to come back to Destin I would stay here again.

This is our second time at Pelican and both times we stayed in this condo. Love the spot and the view. Hosts are great and the condo is as advertised. If I had any complaints, there is only one small hottub open after dark, and even though towels are not allowed to hold a pool chair, everyone does. No one is at the pool at 10 AM, yet there was a towel on every chair. The resort could do a better job enforcing the rules.

This clean and well-equipped unit provided everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. The one-bedroom unit is well-suited for families with children, as it has bunk beds in the hallway. While the pull-out sofa bed wasn’t the most comfortable, I didn’t mind since I could enjoy the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that graced our mornings. My friend, on the other hand, found the main bed to be one of the most comfortable she’s ever slept on. A laundry room is just a short walk down the hall from the unit. We appreciated the hassle-free check-in and check-out process. The lobby was conveniently stocked with carts, making it easy to transport our groceries and luggage to our units. Additionally, we appreciated the building’s security measures. Upon checking in at the gate and lobby, you’re free to proceed as long as you have your parking tag securely attached to your car. Our balcony offered stunning views of the beach and the ocean. The complex also boasted a heated pool, hot tubs, indoor/outdoor pools, steam room, and sauna, which were added bonuses. Make sure you bring beach towels as these are not provided in the unit. There was an area with some beach toys. Conveniently situated near Target and a variety of shopping options, we were within minutes of most restaurants. If you’re a seafood lover, you’ll be delighted to find numerous seafood restaurants catering to different budgets.

The room and location was nice. Was unsure of Check in and it would have been better to just to have the check in instructions within the app, it was difficult to locate on a scrambled search in my email. Would have been nice to have some starter k-cup pods, beach towels for the pool and couple cozy lounge blankets.The bed is super firm and did not sleep well. The pools, beach, room and location were great.

We had a great time at this resort. The pool area was great for our 1 and 4 year old. The tiki bar had great drinks. The cafe had good breakfast. The proximity to the beach is wonderful. The condo definitely could use some updating but that doesn't bother us too much. The primary bedroom is pretty small. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.
