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!

The elevator is the only problem I had with our stay. I feel that the resort needs 4 more elevators.

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!

Good location and good condo. Only criticism I’d have is crappy cox cable connection in the 2nd bedroom does not work… 4 year old couldn’t watch any cartoons on the tv in there but really not a big deal. Everything else was just fine! 5 stars, would return and would recommend.

We have stayed at this property many times, love how it is on the beach and close to everything. Minor dishwasher malfunction, but they were quick to react and informative along the way. Some things you can't control and how it's handled makes the difference.
