This condo’s location cannot be beat. Across the street from the grocery store, close to restaurants, right on the beach, and close to water parks. This property has a Tiki Bar where servers will swing by your umbrella to take drink and food orders. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! This is the main reason why we came back to this property.

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!

Beautiful resort, great host!
We traveled from WV to Destin for the first time and couldn’t be happier with the resort as a whole and the host of this unit specifically. We paid the complete amount all at once due to our travel plans being sort of spur of the moment. Unit/view = PERFECT!
The host(s) were great providing all of the necessary information shortly after booking. Everything was very detailed down to the card shack being manned and how to enter etc.
Some notes about little things we learned during our stay…
The front zero entry pool and large hot tub are great however, in the off season the hot tub there and pool are closed at 5pm for some reason and security will walk around and make sure everyone is out exactly at 5. That pool is heated btw.
The side pool was not heated and traveling in November did not provide the weather to swim in that cold water so it was not useful to us.
There is a second very small like 4-5 person hot tub under the wooden thing by the tiki bar but it was usually packed once the big one was closed and only open until 10.
There is also an indoor/outdoor smaller pool that is heated more towards the back by the grilling area and it was actually pretty warm even in the 50-60 degree nighttime weather. The kids enjoyed it.
The tiki bar is not open after October and neither is the indoor cafe at the hotel which sorta sucked but it wasn’t a huge deal. Also don’t bring bottles by the pool at the beach as security will make you get rid of them which is understood.
