Pelican Beach Resort 2016

The property was clean, well maintained, and stocked with everything our family needed for our stay. The resort was in close proximity to the baseball fields and was a perfect getaway retreat for some relaxation after all the games. Thank you to our wonderful host for making the experience so easy and seamless. We will be back again soon!

The condo was very clean and pretty spacious for the price. We enjoyed the easy access to the pools and beach. Also, we left an iPad when we left and the staff was so kind as to call and let us know. They arranged for it to be packed up and shipped to us as well! Great customer service!

The condo was clean and neat. The view from the balcony was spectacular. And the beach was clean and nice to visit each day

Great stay clean nice two bedroom condo worth every penny loved the top floor and the sun was beautiful to look at coming up in the morning and the beach view is great I like you can see the city and the beach coast at the same time close to all the activities but property was safe and protected

Great resort with beautiful views

It was a nice condo with a great view. The unit was clean and the property was in a good location. The living room tv in this unit was old and would only play sound with no picture. After informing the property management the tv was replaced with a brand new larger tv the next day. The cupboards were well-stocked with dishes and cookware. The pools were nice but the hot tubs were underwhelming. The jets seemed to barely work but we didn't end up using them too often anyway. The food in the cafe was actually decent and drinks from the tiki bar were good. I would recommend this unit. Also make sure to eat at Boshamp's at least once because that was some of the best food I've ever had.

We had a very nice stay in this condo, it had everything as advertised & we enjoyed ourselves!

Beth M - Posted: 3/18/2026

The condo was beautiful and well maintained. Sleeping was perfect for 4 adults and 2 teenagers. It was close to everything and the pools, tiki bar, and cafe made it even easier to not have to get out during the day! Pelican Beach Resort has everything you need! We also did a day at Crab Island.It is a must see!

Check-in was simple and easy to follow instructions. Kitchen was well equipped and the condo was well equipped with enough stuff to last a week.

I recently stayed at Pelican Beach on the 20th floor (top floor), and the experience was incredible. From the balcony, you can take in breathtaking sunrises over the Gulf, and from the open front-side entryway, you can also watch the sunset — giving you both views in one stay. The scenery of the white sandy beaches, clear emerald waters, and the Destin skyline is unforgettable.The resort itself is very well-kept. There are multiple pools, two hot tubs, a tiki bar, and five elevators that make getting around the building quick and easy. Parking was convenient, and the staff were attentive and welcoming throughout our stay.Our unit had everything we needed and more — extras like sand toys, snorkels, body boards, and games. The kitchen was fully stocked with a blender, toaster oven, full oven and stovetop, large refrigerator, dishwasher, and two types of coffee makers. Having an in-unit washer and dryer was a huge plus as well.The location is excellent, with Walmart just down the road and tons of restaurants, shopping, and family activities nearby.Overall, my family and I had a fantastic time. The resort is beautiful, convenient, and family-friendly. We will definitely be coming back!

Very nice unit. We've stayed at pelican beach resort numerous times, but had been worried about recent reviews regarding check in process through the resort directly. We decided to go with this unit through a third party. Very clean unit, nice side view still (not direct beach facing), and well stocked kitchen w pots, pans, baking sheets etc.

Great view from couch and clean

Tana D - Posted: 3/18/2026

We don’t have one single complaint about this place. Everything was exactly like the pictures, the building was well kept and our kids loved the pools. We will be back again (:

Condo was beautiful

Tesha Grice - Posted: 5/23/2025

Highly recommend staying at this resort worst part about it is the traffic getting in and out of the building. Everything else is fantastic, amazing views, great staff, clean facility and all the amenities. Would recommend it to everyone.

Our family of 4 loved this condo! It was in a fantastic location and just as pictured. The beds were comfy and the condo was well stocked. We will be back :)

Shannon Brown - Posted: 4/4/2025

I really liked that the unit had cleaning supplies (broom, toilet brush, sponge, dish detergent, etc.) so we could keep the unit clean during our stay.

Michelle Gruber - Posted: 11/5/2024

Good location and good condo. Only criticism I’d have is crappy cox cable connection in the 2nd bedroom does not work… 4 year old couldn’t watch any cartoons on the tv in there but really not a big deal. Everything else was just fine! 5 stars, would return and would recommend.

James Cain - Posted: 10/10/2024

My family and I enjoyed staying in this incredible condo on the top floor with a beautiful view of the gulf. It was very comfortable and we highly recommend this penthouse. We will certainly be back and count the days till next year. Thanks for the memories!

Three Cheers for Pelican Beach Resort We loved the condo and the location! Two pools, two hot tubs, easy beach chair rentals, steps away from the ocean - we’d definitely stay again!

Great Place to Stay Although there was a lot of updating (painting) going on, the condo was great. The property manager called a day before my arrival to let me know that the dryer wasn't drying loads of towels well and that they would provide fresh towels daily. When I didn't respond to the message, they called again after I checked in to relay the same message making sure that I had what I needed. The staff were very friendly and professional, the pool was clean and the beach access was right behind the pool.

Overall the vacation was wonderful. Here is my list of issues with the condo itself:Condo issues:Couch cushions need replaced badMattress in main bedroom is sunk down in the middleAC didn’t work until they sent 2 different people to fix itCoffee maker still had old coffee and grounds in itFound a few bugs in bedroom, dresser drawer and kitchen floorSuggestion: leave some coffee packets and filters for new arrivals or upgrade to a pod style coffee maker

The views from the property were unmatched. The condo was clean as promised. The only complaint I had is that the kitchen appliances and laundry were out dated. These need to be more modern.

Very clean, got an early check in! Better then the pictures.

Fall Break Fantastic location, clean unit and easy to access. Beach access is very easy and close, would recommend booking chairs very early as that company can be difficult to deal with at times. I would go back again for sure and recommend.

Everything was very easy to navigate. The rental property was perfect. I would definitely recommend Compass resorts, as I was referred by a family member who only travels with compass resorts!

Exactly what we were looking for!Exactly what we were looking for in a vacation rental! Everything was exactly as described. It was so nice to be directly on the beach with everything you needed for a perfect day at the beach! Very clean condo with a beautiful ocean view! Would definitely book again!

Weekend Get away!! Overall we had a great time!! The condo was just as it was listed. The check in process was easy and the room was ready early. The wait staff on the beach was great and convenient. The only negatives were the master bedroom bed tends to roll you to the middle which made it a little uncomfortable. The front door latch needs to be tightened or replaced. We went to the beach early one day pulling the door closed be hind us but it must not have shut all the way because when we returned that night our door was wide open. Everything was still there luckily and we double checked every time we left after that. These were small things and it DID NOT RUIN our weekend and we would definitely stay here again!!!

Condo stay We loved the condo , it was clean and had everything we needed. The views were beautiful and the rooms were very comfortable. The only thing that we were not happy with was the beach . Even though it’s beautiful and the sand is gorgeous and the water is so clear, if you don’t rent the beach chairs from the company you have to sit all the way back by the trash cans behind 5 rows of unoccupied umbrellas and chairs and beach checks up on you . This was the only negative thing. It really ruins the whole beach experience. Overall we had fun.
