Alice was a great host, communication was easy and timely. Check in easy and fast. Properly itself is nice, two pools with one being in the shade after about 2-3 pm, (pretty sure the pool is heated), nice lounge chairs at that pool as well. Two hot tubs, quick beach access. If you want a first row seating at the beach probably have to book in advance, seating was two to three rows deep. If you bring your chairs there is plenty of room, but you have to be behind the rentals. Seems like the beach rules about where you can seat are enforced pretty strictly. You cannot hang out at the beach of the neighboring properties either. The condo was nice, the views were amazing. Sunrise and the ocean from the living room balcony and a gorgeous sunset and the harbor view from the entry balcony. Beds were comfy, the pull out couch .. what can I say… it’s a pull out couch. Kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, utensils and everything you need to cook. Nice large icemaker in the fridge. Three camping chairs for the beach. Good water pressure in the showers. Alice was very responsive about the suggestions and I think in addition to the drip coffeemaker there will be a one cup one and a French press with initial supply of coffee. Great stay overall.

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.
