Thanksgiving in Destin
This is an absolutely amazing rental that has the most beautiful views of the sunset! We saw dolphins right outside on our deck! With access to pools and hot tubs right along the beachfront, it was so convenient. Property manager is very responsive with questions and the condo itself was really well maintained. The bunks in the hallway were a fun way to add extra sleeping quarters. We definitely look forward to coming back another time!

Great location and beautiful views
Great place to stay with kids. Our kids loved the bunk beds. Pelican beach resort is one of our favorite places to stay in Destin— amazing zero entry pool for the kids, super close to beach and love the cafe. Only issue we had was our fridge stopped working after buying $400 worth of groceries so we had to move it to our large cooler while they replaced the fridge. They did respond pretty quickly though to address the fridge issue so impressed by that! Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Place
It was our first time in Destin. Our condo was perfect! The view of the beach from our 17th floor room was amazing. The room was clean and just enough space for me and my 3 girls. We really loved the convenience of the beach and pool next to each other. And we were right next to shops, restaurants, arcades and the water park. We will definitely be booking this place again.

Fantastic spot at Pelican Beach Resort
This was one of our favorite vacations on the Gulf Coast ever. We've stayed at Pelican before and it's always nice, but this condo is particularly clean and well appointed. The bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable, and the kids loved the bunks in the hallway. Frank was responsive and helpful before and throughout our stay as well. We'd definitely stay here again!

This beach front condo was everything we could ask for. It was comfortable and clean, well-stocked with all the essentials. The pull-out sofa was extremely comfortable for my teen who has outgrown the bunk bed. We had a perfect week with perfect weather. Thank you for sharing your condo with us!

Condo, weather, and water were great. Definitely will stay there again. It was the clearest I've ever seen the Destin water. Not a spot of algae or seaweed. Neck deep, could still see my feet. Young fellow at the front desk was very nice and helpful.

Great experience.
This was a great place to stay. Condo was exactly as advertised and everything was clean and in good condition. Amazing view. Check in process was extremely simple and every interaction with staff was pleasant. The on-site cafe was convenient and delicious. The condo is in a great location- close to a water park, lots of restaurants and shopping options, and additional attractions. My only issue was the beach seating and part of the issue was just me misunderstanding. You have to pay for the chairs and umbrellas they provide which I understood; however, I did not realize that they do not allow any “private” setups in front of the rentals or within them so if you do not purchase one, you’ll be pretty far away from the water. So I definitely recommend purchasing this ahead of time. Once we realized our mistake, we rented one and it was definitely worth it. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.
