Great place to stay. The only downside of The Pelican Beach Resort in Destin is that the three first lines of the beach are reserved for the rental seats, so you can’t really be at the front of the beach. RealJoy service was great

Great Location and Views
We did not have any issues! I did not see however in the listing that we needed to provide toilet paper after the initial roll was gone. The only other issue was this is an off sight management company you can not speak to the desk staff and when I tried to call I felt it was not an emergency so I had to send an email. Otherwise super clean and very nice mattress! We love Destin and The Pelican!!

Great vacation!! Best In Destin
Amazing stay!! We stayed in another place a few floors down several months back, we loved this location, had a few issues with electrical in the main bathroom but it wasn’t that big of a deal, also the bed, although comfortable needs to be replaced, it’s a little sunken in near the head. Otherwise we loved and and will definitely be back. Thank you

We love pelican beach resort!
The property is great! Room was perfect and the cafe / tiki bar is a huge added bonus. The elevator situation could use some work but that’s the only thing! We will be back!

We had a wonderful stay!
This was our 5th year staying in Destin and it did not disappoint. We loved the condo and the whole setup. I think the only thing we would “complain” about would be the master bedroom mattress. It is sinking on both sides. Other than that we loved the place. We left a couple of chairs for the next guests. I always appreciate when there is chairs available so I thought I would just pay it forward. Thank you for a wonderful time

This property was perfect for our family Of 4! Our children (ages 3 and 7) loved the bunk beds. The pools and easy on site beach access were great.

We had no issues with Real Joy, they provided us with all needed information and were very responsive to any questions we had. The condo is right on the beach and there is an unobstructed view from the balcony, which is off the living room. There is no view from the bedroom. The kitchen was stocked with all needed utensils and cooking supplies, including a Keurig. Access to the beach is easy and direct, just out the lobby door & past the pools. The beach is beautiful and very clean. The Pelican Beach Resort is a great location, there are a couple shops/restaurants you can walk to but a car is recommended. The resort is pretty much as described, but the gym is very small and the “game room” is just 4 of those claw games, no other games. Overall everyone had a great time, it is a very family friendly area with a lot to do.
