Reviewer Comments: Our neighbors invited us and some other friends to book and stay at the same time for a 4 night extended weekend trip right before the school year started here in Texas. As our first time ever being in Florida and renting a condo, we had such an amazing time. The Condo was very well kept, spacious and had all the amenities. The beach was beautiful. The only problem we had with our stay was that we wished we had stayed a few more days. Hoping to be able to return next year, and would definitely stay in 202 again.

This is our second year at Pelican Isle but first year in this condo. Everything is updated and very nice looking compared to some of the other condos. Overall we were very happy with our stay and plan on booking this condo again next year. Our only complaint is that some of the dishes (the skillets) were very visibly dirty. It looked like the previous guest cooked with them & then just put them away without washing.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our 10 day stay at Pelican Isle 202 was FANTASTIC. The unit was clean and had everything you could think of to help make your stay easy and relaxing. The only thing that we would change is that the sofa sagged a lot in the middle. It was a sofa bed so we could understand the usage that it had. It didn't change the relaxing stay that we enjoyed because how can you get stressed with a view like that?! We would definitely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a great condo this was. It was perfect for my wife and I on a couple's vacation. The location is awesome near the end of Okaloosa Island, with uncrowded beaches and a private feel. This particular unit was easily accessed from the elevator or the stairs on the corner of the building. Parking was never and issue and we were always able to park close to the building.The unit itself impeccably clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for our stay. We never had any issues during our stay.The check-in experience was awesome. The lady from Brooks and Shorey actually called us to let us know the unit was ready early and what our code was. That's awesome service. There was also an Alexa in our room that could tell us about things to do in the area and help with our reservation. That was cool!The property was very well taken-care-of, with any mess or issue taken care of very quickly. The hot tub was down for entire stay unfortunately, but I can't pin that on the rental company so it's just a side mention to check to see if it's available, if that's a deal breaker for you. All of this for an extremely reasonable price for a well-maintained and updated condo felt like a slam dunk deal. We will definitely book this again!

The pictures don’t do justice. I absolutely loved the condo and all of the decor. It fit two adults and four kids (14,12,7,5) perfectly with no sleeping issues. I would most definitely use this condo again. Some of the perks: -second floor room with a great view of the beach while still being able to see the pool. -close to the stair case that leads right to the parking lot (does also have an elevator but is a longer walk) -the grill area and the deck walk to the beach is right out the stair case as well which made it very easy for us. -room includes board games and blue ray player (you can rent movies in the main foyer which we didn’t even see until check out) -the provide carts for luggage and groceries which is very helpful The disadvantages I came across: -the main bed was very hard and our shoulders and back killed us when we got up. -they say they supply tp but make sure to bring your own along with ANY cleaning supplies. -when I was cleaning for check out I found a lot of trash in areas that hadn’t been cleaned before my stay so it made me question the truly cleanliness of the rest of the condo -we couldn’t get the wifi to work the whole time we were there - the dresser drawers will not stay closed if your life depended on it. It was very aggravating to us. -the door to the condo also needs to be physically pushed closed as it wouldn’t lock in without the extra pressure.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pelican Isle 202. The condo itself is clean and equipped with everything you could need...kitchen appliances, pots/pans, dishes, vacuum, broom, plenty of towels, clean linens, towel hooks, and state of the art thermostat/Alexa system. All the furniture was nice and clean. The only issue we had with furniture is that the sleeper sofa bed was very uncomfortable, but luckily it wasn’t a necessity for us to use (kids slept in the bunks and parents in the bedroom). My kids loved the TVs in the bunk beds. We liked that the unit was very close to the stairs, so we could exit easily to the beach and parking lot. The balcony furniture was nice and we loved to sit out and have coffee each morning while listening to the waves. Brooks and Shorey was easy to work with and had streamlined procedures for arrival and departure. We were called with a room code as soon as the room was ready and then emailed with all instructions. Upon departure we could just check out through the hospitality app. My biggest issue during our stay, which is not related to the unit itself, is that for the second half of our stay we had a neighbor who sat on their balcony and was constantly smoking cigarettes. They clearly did not abide by the signs asking people to refrain from smoking on the balconies as a courtesy to neighbors. Several nights it was so bad that we had to cut our evening on the balcony short because we couldn’t breathe comfortably with all the cigarette smoke. Again, this is not related to the unit itself. Pelican Isle is located close to several restaurants. We enjoyed dining at AJ’s Oyster Shanty, Asiago’s Skillet, and Stewby’s. It’s also close to a Tom Thumb convenience store which was nice when we ran out of bottled water. It was just a short drive to Fort Walton and dining/stores on the bay side, and a short drive in the other direction to The Boardwalk (we ate at Floyd’
