NEW LISTING! Pelican Beach Resort Condo #713~Beachfront~Ocean-views RENOVATED🏖️

10/10 Excellent
"This condo was absolutely perfect! I have traveled to Destin for many years and stayed in several different condos in and around the area, and this one truly has it all.The location is fantastic—directly across from Big Kahuna’s and just a very short walk to the beach. One of our favorite things was the convenience of having both a tiki bar and café right on the beach. Both offered delivery directly to your beach chairs, and waitresses also came around periodically to take orders, which made our beach days even more relaxing.The condo itself is in a great location within the building. It is close enough to the elevator to be extremely convenient, but far enough away that we were never bothered by elevator noise. Everything was very clean and exactly as pictured. The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of pillows and extra blankets, the showers had fantastic water pressure, and the air conditioning worked great—which is definitely important in Destin!The view was beautiful, and we frequently saw dolphins from the condo. There were also extra beach chairs available, which were perfect for enjoying the beach later in the evenings.The host was very easy to reach, responsive, and even went above and beyond to accommodate us during our stay. That extra effort was very much appreciated.Overall, we had a wonderful experience and were extremely pleased with our stay. After many years of visiting Destin, I can confidently say this condo checked all the boxes for us."
