Changes in attitudes, changes in latitudes, they say, and that is definitely true of the condominiums available at Pelican Beach Resort. This resort complex in the heart of old Destin is a tropical oasis within walking distance of the city's most popular attractions, restaurants, and shopping. The on-site amenities, including exercise and fitness centers, three adult pools and one kiddie pool, a Jacuzzi, tennis courts, grills, and restaurants on the property may entice you to stay close to your unit for the majority of your stay. Of course, the biggest advantage that Pelican Beach Resort properties have is their location- right on the sugar white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.

This charming unit sleeps six comfortably in two bedrooms and on a sleeper sofa. The unit packs plenty of amenities into 1,100 square feet. The cozy kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals and snacks for your family. Furnished with both a dining room table and a breakfast bar, you can comfortably spread out to enjoy your meals. The living room, equipped with a flat-screen TV and a queen sleeper sofa, opens to a large balcony, giving everyone a little more living space and a great view of the beach. Decorated for maximum tropical appeal, the master bedroom, with a king-sized bed and private bath boasts a balcony with a view of the inlets of Holiday Isle. The second, smaller bedroom also has a beach view. Both bedrooms have televisions.

Located on the beach, the resort offers guest plenty of amenities, including beach chair and umbrella rentals, kayak and body board rentals, and a game room. During the season, there are two restaurants, including the beachfront Tiki Bar available for guests. Pelican Beach is close to the heart of Destin and within walking distance of your favorite restaurants and attractions.

First trip to Destin

Our stay was great! The condo was the perfect size for 3 adults and 2 kids. The rooms were tight but we didn’t stay in the condo much so it was doable. The pools were spacious. Downfall, the dolphin pool shades over around 1-2 pm (this was early June) and the big pool on the gulf side closes at dusk. There are only 4 elevators for all 20 floors, we didn’t wait long for rides which was great! The main road was a nightmare. Very busy and tough to get out on. You almost always have to go right and then do a U-turn which could take 10 minutes for a break in traffic to be able to turn. However within driving distance there are tons of restaurants in both directions. We would come back to Destin but would stay somewhere closer to Navarre Beach or harbor walk village due to traffic. Otherwise the condo was perfect for our first trip!

DO NOT book this unit

Everything in the unit is as low quality as it gets. Resort is great. Unit is not. We had a clogged kitchen sink holding water for 3 of the 7 days. Folding closet door fell on my child. Was reported broken upon check in and took 3 days as well to fix. Late check in as room was not clean in time. Had to change batteries in all remotes. 1 of 3 tvs worked for half the trip. The battery in the door code panel died and we were locked out of our room for just under and hour. It was a 45 minute wait to get through to the management company. The resort maintenance will not touch the room because it is managed by an outside company. I had to bribe the maintenance worker with cash to change the battery to get in to get my child’s medicine because I could not get a representative. Do yourself a favor and book at the resort, just find a different unit. The price that is charged isn’t even close to the experience you will receive. The room is a bigger motel 6 or days inn quality. It is not somewhere you want to stay for more than a night traveling through.

Girls trip

We had a teenager, adult, and a senior. It was a perfect location and met the needs for all ages. It was very conveniently located in the center of all the activities in Destin. The beach was beautiful and we were able to rent chairs and an umbrella. However, this resort is very busy so you are very close to others at the beach. The condo was nice however was slightly outdated. The bathrooms weren’t very clean either. The shower curtains had mold on them. Neither bedroom TVs worked. However, it met the needs for us as we weren’t in the condo too much.

This condo was awful!

Do not stay there! That resort has too many rules! You can’t even see the beach because the resort takes 6 rows of tents and chairs you can not sit upfront for longer then 30 min! And you ca t smoke but 2 smoking area. Very inconvenient! Awful resort will not go back!

Not enough beach area!! Too many rules!

We understand it’s busy season but to be told we could not rent an umbrella until October was ridiculous since we are here now, June. Was told they didn’t have anything and we couldn’t move our beach chairs to the water if we didn’t have young children in the water! WTH!? We paid as much as everyone else. 5 rows of beach chairs and umbrellas, some unused most of day. Actual security sitting on beach with rules in hand! Told me to go to public beach may be better! Unreal. We weren’t informed of only renting online. Master bed wood frame bolts come loose. Nice room just too many rules.
