The condo itself was absolutely prefect. The beautiful beachfront balcony was awesome! The host was great, helpful and easy to get in touch with. The issues my family had were with the resort itself. They do not have enough elevators for the property size and elevators have no air conditioning. Also the security around the pool area are extremely strick. Kids couldn't even play with a ball in the pool.

Just an OK experience at Pelican Beach

The check in process is very slow between being informed of room readiness at the last possible time listed and no access of the limited 8 luggage carts that were available among all the other guest jocking for spots up front to unload vehicles. Only the main lobby elevators were in operation which further delayed any movement throughout the complex. During hours from 0900 to 2100 it would often take 20 minutes to get into an elevator and stop between multiple floors which serviced no guest. Also, there is no beach service offered with the units and the company providing service on the beach routinely sold out so i would plan ahead a reserve before your vacation.

This property was exactly as described. The location in Destin is perfect, central to everything. The unit is clean and stocked appropriately. Plenty of towels, great view! It is small as someone else mentioned but NOT too small. It was perfect for my family of 4. It could use a darkening curtain in the twin room. We did have 2 problems which absolutely have nothing to do with the unit but more the property itself. There are only 4 elevators for 20 floors. It can be difficult especially during checkout. People were waiting for elevators. This unit is on the 18th floor so not easy to carry luggage or ice chests down. The other is that once on the beach it is a small area allotted to the condo. The property rents out chairs and umbrellas, typical for all the condos around, however this property has 5 rows of umbrellas and chairs taking up all of the sand close to the water and will not allow personal chairs or umbrellas to set up in front of their designated areas. To the left and right are private beach areas belonging to other condo units. If you are planning to rent chairs it may not be a big deal but if you bring your own, you will not be able to see the water or your kids playing. For younger children this would not be an ideal situation. Just some knowledge, but again nothing on the unit itself. I would happily stay there again if the property changed a few of their chair arrangements. Also, the cafe and bar by the beach is a wonderful plus and the pools are also great!

Alice is an Incredible Host

I can’t say enough great things about Alice. This is our second time going to Destin to this property, and we look forward to going back next year. There was a mixup at the front desk when we checked in (100% no fault on Alice’s part). But Alice helped us work through that and make sure we had another enjoyable, memorable time in Destin. The views are incredible! Wonderful, local restaurants. And the home itself is very clean, cozy, and inviting.

Amazing condo and property

Beautiful condo. Plenty of space. Beautiful views from the room and response from host was amazing. She was prompt to answer any questions we had. We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing that I can suggest to make getting your baggage to and from your room is you should bring a wagon. The property has a very limited number of carts and with everyone checking in and out around the same time, they are hard to find.

Additional Information

The focus of this review is additional resort and “beach” info not in other reviews. Hopefully this will help you plan. First, the condo is great! No issues. Everything is as pictured. There is a good ocean view. The unit is on the side of the building (not directly facing the ocean). This was fine for us. The unit is directly over the pool area. But on the 18th floor this was no issue (little noise that far up). The resort was well maintained and cleaned. The lobby is plain and no air in the elevators. There is a covered parking available and security. The property is well located for eating and activities in Destin. You will need to bring your own beach items. I have stayed other places that provided them - so just a heads up (to prevent a last minute rush). The resort has a beach chair and umbrella service. We went in July. The resort’s section of beach gets pretty crowded during the day. There were usually 4-5 rows of rental umbrellas and chairs set up during the day. In contrast, the properties on both sides had beach service only 1-2 rows deep (those are ones in the pics). So if you want to rent and see the ocean at pelican beach, I suggest reserving chairs and umbrellas via the service asap (online). However, if you don’t want to pay you can set up your items behind the rental area or 20 feet in front (right at water). Destin in July is hot. We opted to wait until 4pm every day and then hit the beach (when the rental chairs all go away). Hope this helps!

We had good weather. A nice view from our balcony. The Ocean was right off the Condo. We just took the elevator down walked through the lobby and out passed 3 pools and onto the beach. The kid pool was perfect for our 2 year old Grandson. And he loved the Beach. We had a great time!
