This condo offered a clean and serene environment that made our stay incredibly refreshing. We’re grateful for the experience and look forward to visiting again.
We love this unit at the pelican beach resort! We have booked it 3 times now and will continue to come back as much as we can! It is always so clean and the owner is very communicative and responsive to anything you need. We have 4 young kids and this unit has lots of toys the kids love to play with on the beach plus a pack n play which saves us a bag as we travel! The resort is always so clean and the staff are very helpful. We were very happy with everything and made some great memories as a family!
We absolutely loved our stay! The condo was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing beach getaway. The view was amazing, and the location couldn’t have been better—just steps from the sand and close to great restaurants. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing experience and really clean! Highly recommend
The condo was so clean and just like the pictures when we arrived. It was in a great location and had security walking around 24/7 so I felt very safe. Tufan communicated with me wonderfully and made this such an easy check in/ out. Would definitely stay again!
It was a seamless process from beginning to end. The condo was very clean, on the beach and a great part of time for restaurants, bars and activities. Would definitely stay there again.
Property grounds are well kept, staff is friendly and helpful. Great amenities! Condo was top notch! Well stocked with everything needed! Communication with owner was excellent! Will DEFINITELY BE BACK!!
Great communication, location and amenities. Only complaint would be how long it constantly took to use the elevators. Sometimes waiting for 15 minutes during check in and check out times.
Everything about our stay was fantastic. The unit was exactly as pictured, clean, and had everything we needed for my family. The place was close to everywhere we wanted to go in Destin. It was so nice to have access to multiple pools on the facility and direct beach access. We would recommend to any one or any family. The host was phenomenal and even helped us navigate an item that we left. We are appreciative of his help and staff at the resort. We hope to come back in the future !
We were able to cook breakfast in the morning and enjoy the the Tiki bar and various restaurants. Our property rental was clean and had a nice view of the Gulf. Thank you Tufan!
We had a wonderful trip to Destin. The condo was just as described. Unit was not “Facing Ocean” but the ocean view from side was gorgeous. Unit was clean and furnishings comfortable. Lamps a little wobbly. Don’t forget to check the spare bedroom closet for beach goodies! Great location for dining out and shopping.
A beautiful view of the ocean. Very convenient to local restaurants and shopping. Condo very clean and appropriate for four people and could sleep two more if using couch. Kitchen is well supplied with all items necessary if you plan to cook. Enjoyed time there except for the cold weather., not a time for the beach.

Great stay - exactly as advertised
We had a great stay while on our spring break week. Even though it was spring break week, the tower was not overcrowded. The owners were great to work with. They provide plenty of recommendations on things to do and places to eat. They placed a credit card hold for a deposit (as outlined during the booking process) and it was promptly released.
The unit was exactly as shown in the pictures. Beds were comfortable (including the sofa bed). A generous supply of startup items were provided - paper towels, dish soap, shampoo, bath soaps, etc. There was a great supply of beach chairs and boogie boards on the patio, which was a nice plus.
Overall a great experience and I would rent it again.
Great place for a quick anniversary getaway. The weather did not cooperate much but that was no problem for us since the condo was so cozy we enjoyed staying in.
