This is our 4th time at Pelican Beach but our first in 10 years. Some things we love about it: the pools, the gas grills, the location. Some things we like less now than we did before: the cost of beach chair rentals (used to be 25/day, now it’s 45-55/day). The smokers—you can’t sit on the balcony at all without the stench of cigarette smoke. It’s gross. The elevators. It was packed at the resort, and they only had two of the 4 elevators working. If you are staying at floor 4 and lower, get used to stairs. The unit itself was ok except:—Drain in master tub was clogged, meaning after a shower you were in 3 inches of your own dirt water.—Extra blankets would be nice—Small table out back would help, just 4 cheap chair—no grilling equipment, no tongs or spatulas (just a plastic one)—Better pans, the two provided are pretty cruddy and clearly very old. —No room in guestbook, it’s full (so what’s the point?)—No games or anything

Spring Break

Our family had a great spring break trip in Destin on the beach. One thing we wished we knew ahead of time, in order to enjoy the beach you need to rent chairs otherwise there is a very limited area to hang out and people reserve these days to months in advance. Our condo smelled clean when we got there. We did find floss threaders under the bed and dirty clothes next to the wall of the bunk beds otherwise we were happy with everything else.

Overall the location of our room couldn’t have been better ! The view was amazing, restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The room itself could’ve been better . Not very clean , seen two roaches . One of the showers was not even worth using . The water pressure was so bad.

Thankful we were on the 3rd floor

The Pelican property was undergoing major renovations during our stay. Although there are 5 elevators on property, only 3 were working. There was generally a line of people waiting to use them. We were thankful we were on the 3rd floor and could use the stairs.

This condo was clean and as it's described online. Awesome view! And nice that the beach is just a few steps away! It is in a good location. There was some issues with the elevators (only 2 working at a time), and some loud construction going on....but all in all a great place!

Floors need attention

This location and property were exactly as described. Perfect for our vacation. Only a few issues. Ceiling fan in bedroom did not work. Hair dryer in second bathroom got so hot the coils were red and smelled very hot. The floors were very dirty. So dirty our feet were black. Other than that it was great!

Little Snag

Upon arrival, we discovered that the room had not been cleaned properly prior to our stay. They offered to have someone come and clean but we were already fully moved in and didn’t want anyone coming in. They did bring us extra towels and sheets to replace everything. The condo was just as advertised. We had lots of fun despite the start.

Right on the Beach!!

It was a perfect property- right on the beach so the kids could enjoy as they wanted. Every night before bed they walked the beach and loved it. Was perfect to come in and rest from the sun, eat lunch and enjoy the pool and hot tubs too! Super relaxing and close to everything.
