Just perfect! Thank you for everything
We absolutely loved our stay! The Airbnb was beautiful, spotless, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The space was so comfortable and welcoming, and the ocean view was absolutely breathtaking. Waking up to that view was definitely a highlight of our stay. You can tell a lot of thought and care went into making this place special. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back soon! Highly recommend!

The resort was in close proximity to the baseball fields and was a perfect getaway retreat for some relaxation after all the games.

Amazing customer service!
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!

Would recommend
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.

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!

Incredible Experience!
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 Place to Stay
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.

Weekend Get away!!
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
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.
