The location was beautiful. The resort was amazing. I would highly recommend. The only thing I would say is I’m used to going to Airbnb’s that have seasonings in the kitchen and this one did not have any at all, not sure if that’s a Florida thing or not. But thought you would wanna know so that you’re prepared.

Stay was great, the weather did not want to cooperate, but still had a good time. The only downside was not being allowed to take our own beach chairs to the waters edge and having to rent one if you want one close

Destin beach and ocean beautiful. Nice size clean pools and hot tubs but very family centered, lots of kids so not any in pool time for our adult group. But nice lounging around pools with plenty chaise lounges. Tiki beach bar great, good food in Cafe not cheap but to be expected in this area.

Our stay started out a little rocky as we found some debris under the bathroom vanity and wet towels in the washer. The property manager was apologetic and offered us a 50$ credit. That seemed reasonable to us. That was seven days ago and the credit hasn't shown up on my card yet. So the refund is most likely not happening. That being said......This was our second year staying at the Pelican Resort. We like the location and beach at the Pelican. The pools are very nice and there is a Tiki bar that serves great drinks. This property features a beautiful view of the Gulf. We were able to view dolphins from the deck. For the price point this was a good find. The pictures are completely accurate but the view is much better than the pics make it out to be. The property managers were very quick to respond. In addition to the initial concerns there also was a chair was broken and the kitchen faucet was dripping. Overall the condo could use a deep clean but I would still recommend this property. We enjoyed our stay very much.
