The owners communication was outstanding they let us check In super early !! My only complaint was that it was very outdated and kinda dirty.. very old towels and the walls were super dusty and around the tv in the balcony room there was a dead bug lol (whatever ya know) besides the old feel and dust it was accommodating to what we wanted for a night.

Decent place to stay

The only major complaint I had staying here was that the AC is blocked from going below 72 degrees. Some of us didn't sleep well because it was hot throughout the night. The owner never responded back to me when I asked if we could override the thermostat and make it cooler inside. Other than that, the place was about what I expected with the price being lower than all the others. If they AC was colder I would definitely stay here again.

Needs lots of TLC

The location was great but the place needs to be totally updated. It was rundown and looked dingy and dirty. We couldn’t get the tv in the queen room to work. It was hung above the closet with the cords and cables just hanging there. Very sketchy. The pillows were totally flat and we had to go buy new ones. The dryer took forever to dry towels and the door lock was totally jacked up even after the property manager tried fixing it. It was apparent that this property has received no attention in a very long time. On a positive note, the property manager did respond to any and all correspondence.

Need some updates

The property is in a prime location . We love, pelican Beach resorts. The elevator close to the room was broke ,but it was only on the third floor so we just use the stairs. The three pools the hot tubs. Everything on this resort is great. The condo itself is not amazing though. The dishwasher was broken. Had some issues with the door at one point whoever cleaned did a horrible job when we got there. The bathroom smelled terrible. I had to mop it and wash the rugs. There was mildew on the shower curtain, one of the drawers is missing from the kitchen cabinet, the bathtub doesn’t drain well so you are definitely standing in water while you’re showering .it basically needs a little facelift . The rental is cheaper than a lot of the other ones, so if you’re willing to stand in water when you shower and look the other way at the other issues , might be the place for you. The owner has great communication and even offered us early check in .

Good resort, bad condo

Our experience started with walking in to a dirty condo. The owners father was the cleaning crew and 1- was extremely slow, and 2- did a horrible job. 1.5 hours later (past check-in time) the condo was ‘ready’. The floor was never mopped, the master bathroom continued to have a weird smell, the patio furniture was dirty and very crappy. The location of the condo is right above the indoor/outdoor pool. It is very loud! The pool stays open until 10pm and it’s noisy all day until then. The location of the condo in relation to everything else in Destin is awesome. Great facilities and being on the ocean was wonderful. We would stay at Pelican Bay again, but never in that condo again, nor will I ever rent from them at any of their other owned properties again. Very unprofessional and very overpriced for what we received. Overall, look into other properties here, not with this owner.

Great time in Destin

First time to Destin. Beautiful beaches, great restaurants and lots to do. Resort was very clean & well maintained. To check in & get carpass took only 5 minutes. Grounds crew were out early every morning cleaning & sweeping pool areas. Resort has six gas BBQ grills in courtyard & every night they were heavily used. We BBQ'd one night & enjoyed having a beer, BBQing and getting to know others. Great idea at a resort! Pools were clean and never too crowded. Beaches were very crowded but we expected since it was Spring Break. Only complaint was that umbrellas/chairs were set up each morning and many were never used and they blocked the view of the water. Kids are 8 and 10 and we enjoyed Little Nemo Fishing Charter down by the Fishermans Warf. Very reasonable (around $30.00 per)for 3 hour boat ride through harbor and fishing if you don't want to spend a lot on private charter boat. Caught red snapper & even a flounder. Would highly recommend. Restaurants down by warf were fabulous with a great view of the harbor. Also enjoyed the Fudpuckers restaurant on Hwy 98 with live alligator show while you wait to be seated. You can also write your name anywhere in restaurant if you buy a sharpie from them for a buck. Kids thought that was hilarious. If you have kids, you definitely have to go there. Good food there as well. Condo itself is in a great location right in the middle of all the action. Across from Huge Water park. Go carts, arcades, miniature golf only minutes away as are grocery stores and a movie theatre. Condo sits above indoor/outdoor pool and just steps from coffee shop/cafe with outside seating. Great view of the pool(s) and ocean from the large balcony. We did spot dolphins one morning. Well stocked with all kitchen appliances and there were plenty of beach toys/shovels/boogie boards to use. Some of the furnishings are a little outdated but it was clean, easy to access and owner was very easy to work with. Deposit already received. I would say hard to beat price right on the beach and all the conveniences you would need. Thanks Bart. Would definitely recommend to others especially if you have kids.

Condo needs updates!!

The condo is at great location!! I just wish the owner pays more attention to the things that needs to be more updated, new towels, pillows and kitchen supplies . Also the front door lock needs to be replaced ASAP. This is my second time staying here and our family and I always have a great time.

Nice stay

It was a nice stay but there are not enough elevators for the amount of people with beach gear and check in carts! Had to wait 30 minutes to go down to the beach. And no room on beach for kids and toys due to chair rental taking up all the beach space at property!

Disappointed

The prior reviews talk about furniture and the cleanliness of the condo upon arrival. The beds are fine, the couches are fine, there were dirty sheets on the master so we washed them when we got there. The master shower drains poorly so we showered in several inches of water each day. The towels, bedding and pillows are horrible, looks like they were purchased at the Goodwill in Destin, I would bring your own. While the owners were shopping for towels, they missed out on pots and pans, so if you’re planning on cooking bring your own. There is silverware and dishes but knives are horrible. The biggest issue we had was when a couple came into the front door of the condo while we were watching TV. They were given our condo number and door code and when we reached out for a new door code I was told they couldn’t do anything about it and to “use the deadbolt.”

Great location, needs deep cleaned and repairs

The location is great, close to many things. The property is in need of some repair, especially the door handle and keypad. They were loose to the point of worry. The shower curtains were molded/mildew. They ask that you wash and dry the linens before you leave and the trash out, trash chute was just outside of the door by elevator. The pools were nice sized and didn’t get overcrowded. Was called as we arrived in Destin to be informed that the property would not be ready by check in time and we would need to wait. A little rough with the little one after a long drive.

Great location but needs a little help in cleaning service. Found 20 wrappers of Rice Krispie treats behind night stand, sock and other wrappers that look as if they been behind there for a few years. Beds were extremely hard but what we were there for it was doable. Staff was amazing and super friendly

Condo in Destin

Condo is in rough shape. Door handle is loose and door doesn't always close, condo could use a new face-lift. Furniture, beds, and blankets are stained and dirty. Floors, dishes, kitchen were sticky and dirty. Towels are old, smelly, and one had holes.. Condo has no broom. The outside of the condo (stairway and hallway could use a good cleaning)... We were not impressed!!

Perfect family vacation spot

Resort staff were all very helpful and friendly. Check-in was easy and luggage carts were available. Our room was perfect for family of 5 + grandma. Everything was comfortably dated so I wasn’t worried about my kids in the space. Location next to elevator and stairs, which were a good alternative to elevator wait times. Pools were clean and beach was beautiful! Small kiddie pool was pure gold for our 2.5yr old. Thank you for the wonderful stay we’d love to come back again!
