We had a wedding party stay here as it sleeps 30 and although we didn’t have that many people stay this house is perfect for large groups. It’s right across the street from the beach access, easily walkable so location is 10/10. Good sized pool and hangout area. There was some gold fish on the floor and hair in the sinks / shower but nothing too dirty. Pool was freezing cold and hot tub is only on 6pm-12am which is inconvenient if you plan on using it any other times. But overall would stay again!!

The maintenance man worked on any and all problems that we experienced after we arrived, and his help made our stay wonderful. He was very responsive to our calls, and made some very good suggestions about activities.

Awesome house and awesome week!

Overall very pleased. Lot of light fixtures didn’t work in closets. There were a few other little problems. The dryer vent was clogged

We had a good time. We weren't aware of all of the rules before paying and before the day of checking-in but most of them seemed reasonable enough. We abided by then but I feel like you should have some of the rules and the fact that you only can use the hot tub for 6 hours on your listing. Other than that we had a great time. Thanks so much.

We had a great time staying at this house. The only concern was if the linen was washed before we checked in. We found a few items in different beds In the sheets. We wish the hot tub and pool would have not turned off after midnight. With Having to pay the extra Amount to have it heated to have had more control over when it turned on/off.

This is the second time we've stayed at this property and we just love it! The house has so much space. It is located across the street from a public beach access.

Pelican Perch is a wonderful home for large families because each room has its own bathroom. The open living/dining/kitchen was perfect 21 people who flew in to the Destin-Ft. Walton airport (VPS). One-way Uber is $85 w/tip. Cheapest gas was $3.15 at Tom Thumb—not near Pelican Perch. Nearest grocery store is the Publix Watercolor. If we had teenagers there, the 3rd floor game room with foosball, air hockey, and video arcade would have been fabulous-underused by young children who were too short to use any of it. The bunkbeds were really neat up there, but only one of the individual TVs worked (in an upper-bunk no less!). Also no big deal for our littles, but a teenager might have been disappointed. There are two Pack-n-Plays, 1 high- chair and no booster seats. Wi-Fi is spotty when trying to get the baby monitors to work. There is an alarm every time the door to the pool is opened—which is a nice safety feature. Be careful going up and down the carpeted stairs with your arms full—3 of us slipped. All the beds were comfy and the house was nicely decorated. The “twin” house next door is managed by 360 Blue and is called Waves. Pelican Perch is managed by 850 Vacation Rentals—and that’s where the emails come from. The wagon to take to the beach was a lifesaver. It hauled the umbrella, boogie boards and chairs which were provided. I had to bring/buy 21 beach towels because they are not provided unfortunately. There are a couple of irons and ironing boards in closets upstairs. Pool was cleaned twice while we were there. There are a few chipped portions in the bottom of the pool, but that didn’t affect anything at all, it was crystal clear. A purple light comes on automatically around 8:00 pm and we couldn’t figure out how to turn on the hot tub. The gas grill outside was great because you don’t need charcoal nor propane tanks. There are 2 Mr. Coffee pots. The big dishwasher and 2 dish drawers were well-used. Nice to have 2 large refrigerators too. One of the lower freezer drawers was needing repair, but someone else already wrote about that in a prior review. Big Plus: a new ice machine had been installed! There are plenty of dishes and flatware for everyone. A couple of big mixing bowls would help. 100% I would stay here again. Kudos to the owners because it was built with love. Wish list: a doormat inside the front and back doors to water/sand, full length mirrors in every room, hooks in the bathrooms to hang wet bath towels, and potholders.
