I can’t say enough great things about Alice. This is our second time going to Destin to this property, and we look forward to going back next year. There was a mixup at the front desk when we checked in (100% no fault on Alice’s part). But Alice helped us work through that and make sure we had another enjoyable, memorable time in Destin. The views are incredible! Wonderful, local restaurants. And the home itself is very clean, cozy, and inviting.

The condo was clean, our balcony had a view of the Gulf and two pools down below. My 6 year old really enjoyed the inside/outside pool.The Cafe and bar was convenient and priced well. Over all a good stay.

Beautiful condo. Plenty of space. Beautiful views from the room and response from host was amazing. She was prompt to answer any questions we had. We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing that I can suggest to make getting your baggage to and from your room is you should bring a wagon. The property has a very limited number of carts and with everyone checking in and out around the same time, they are hard to find.

This was as good as advertized! Our family of 4 stayed for a week and the location was perfect, great twin beds for our teens and easy access to the beach! The on site cafe and tiki hut was a great option too!

The focus of this review is additional resort and “beach” info not in other reviews. Hopefully this will help you plan. First, the condo is great! No issues. Everything is as pictured. There is a good ocean view. The unit is on the side of the building (not directly facing the ocean). This was fine for us. The unit is directly over the pool area. But on the 18th floor this was no issue (little noise that far up). The resort was well maintained and cleaned. The lobby is plain and no air in the elevators. There is a covered parking available and security. The property is well located for eating and activities in Destin. You will need to bring your own beach items. I have stayed other places that provided them - so just a heads up (to prevent a last minute rush). The resort has a beach chair and umbrella service. We went in July. The resort’s section of beach gets pretty crowded during the day. There were usually 4-5 rows of rental umbrellas and chairs set up during the day. In contrast, the properties on both sides had beach service only 1-2 rows deep (those are ones in the pics). So if you want to rent and see the ocean at pelican beach, I suggest reserving chairs and umbrellas via the service asap (online). However, if you don’t want to pay you can set up your items behind the rental area or 20 feet in front (right at water). Destin in July is hot. We opted to wait until 4pm every day and then hit the beach (when the rental chairs all go away). Hope this helps!

This condo was clean, stocked with the essentials, and had an amazing view of the ocean! Alice went above and beyond by returning our call to help us get the cable working in one of the bedrooms. We enjoyed our stay and the quiet rest at night!

Beautiful building right on the beach! Clean and well maintained building and pool areas ! Good for adults and families with children. Onsite food but close to lots of stores for groceries and souvenirs. Lots of great places to go out to eat. Uber and taxis and lyft readily available and reasonable prices if you’re not renting a car. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the Pelican Beach resort and our condo. Beach is incredible, white soft sand, emerald water (we could see the fish swimming around our feet), calm waters! I am used to Virginia Beach which is much rougher. Loved the Tiki Bar and the convenience. We will be back! See you soon!

We had good weather. A nice view from our balcony. The Ocean was right off the Condo. We just took the elevator down walked through the lobby and out passed 3 pools and onto the beach. The kid pool was perfect for our 2 year old Grandson. And he loved the Beach. We had a great time!

We really enjoyed our stay! There were many restaurants and tourist spots nearby! We also enjoyed the comfort of having everything just like home when we chose to stay inside. I only wish it could be alittle less expensive. I don’t really know the typical rates for Destin since it was our first time.

My wife and I stayed at pelican beach and we enjoyed ourselves everyday. Condo was very clean with every amenity you can imagine. Great weather, and very clean water on the beach. The only thing that they might look at is the ceiling fans are a bit noisy when your trying to sleep. Other than that we have no complaints. We plan on returning next year. Thanks Alice 🙋‍♂️

Me and 4 other ladies traveled to Destin for a girl's trip weekend. The condo was EXACTLY as described on VRBO;. It was neat and clean. The beach view from the balcony was AMAZING!!! The space was adequate for us, we did not feel cramped. Also, the unit was appropriately stocked with the essentials; she thought of EVERYTHING. The only downfall for the weekend was the weather(cold, windy and rainy) but we added sugar and made lemonade! Alice, the owner responded quickly when I reached out with a question. Nice home away from home!
