Pelican Beach Resort! Fantastic Views of the Gulf!

When you’re ready for a family vacay, head to Pelican Beach 405, a Gulf-front condo located right in the heart of Destin.  With stunning views and tons of amenities, your only question will be, why didn’t we book sooner!

Pelican Beach 405 is a lovely fourth floor condo with one bedroom and two baths accommodating up to six. The views don’t get much better than from the living room, with a sofa, love seat, and flat-screen TV. Come together for a game of cards at the table with seating for four, or gather at the breakfast bar for morning coffee. Take in the views from the kitchen while preparing quick snacks for the pool or beach, then head out onto the private balcony with a favorite book before an afternoon catnap. You’ll find cozy sleeping arrangements in the master suite with a king-sized bed, flat-screen TV, and en suite bath. The kids will love the twin bunks nestled in the hall, while the sofa sleeper in the living room provides additional sleeping arrangements.

You’ll find tons for the whole family to do right on the property, including shared swimming pools, a hot tub, two fitness centers, and a stunning stretch of beach right out back. With Big Kahuna’s Water and Adventure Park just across the road and The Track’s go-karts and miniature golf course less than a mile away, you won’t have to travel far to enjoy Destin’s most popular attractions. Packed with restaurants, shopping, and activities, the Destin boardwalk is just minutes away, and the perfect spot to rent a watercraft for the day!  Whether you prefer lounging by the pool, taking strolls along the beach, or shopping until you drop, you’ll find Pelican Beach 405 the perfect launchpad for your next getaway!

Spring Break Stay

First- the view here is unreal and makes it worth the price. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped. The elevators are right around the corner and getting to the beach is so easy. We had a wonderful time. The unit could use some updates (worn condition). Would recommend at this price! We made great memories.

Spectacular ocean view

Room 405 has an spectacular ocean view, and the room was very spacious roomy with updated appliances, and state of the art. The overall stay was a bit on the high priced. 9.5 overall stay!

Overall we had a great stay.

The room itself could have been better. We had to go buy wash clothes because we were only given 1. There were multiple dirty dishes in the cabinets that we had to wash before we could use them.

Middle of the road

The condo needs updated. Master bath def needs renovated. Hooks throughout the condo would be helpful especially in masterbath. The bathroom liner/curtain needs replaced black mold. The location is great, view is great. They need to spruce it up for the price they are charging.

Unknown construction

Nice unit close to elevator. Exterior construction wasn't known ahead of check-in date. Noisey during daytime. Unit needs cool weather bedding available but fortunately we brought our own and didnt need to ask. Somewhat dated but overall clean and met our needs.

Definitely Recommend

The room offered everything we needed. The location is very close to the main elevators and laundry room. I was worried that only being on the 4th floor we would not have a good view of the beach but I was wrong. Overall, 10/10 for our family of 6. If there needs to be any improvement then it would be maybe a better sweep between guest, however you’re at the beach, there will be sand everywhere regardless.

Great location

Really enjoyed our stay. The unit had more room then my wife and I needed. It was nice to have a kitchen to fix breakfast and have coffee on the balcony in the mornings. Clean and supplied well. My only complaint is the rules for the beach, the rented chairs and beach umbrellas take up the beachfront until 5pm, you are only allowed to set up your stuff behind them with no direct view of the beach and only one open pathway to the beach. There are private property signs on both sides of the Resort’s beach, which are removed at 5pm and then you can set up where you want. This would be the only reason we wouldn’t stay again.

Needs an upgrade

We loved the location and overall feel of the building, but our room needed some pretty big updates. The shower in the master room had terrible water pressure, while the main shower had an excessive amount of pressure and would soak you when trying to turn on. However, the main shower head was disgusting with gunk. All of the beds need better mattresses. I’m not hard to please. Good location to food and a great bed. All I got was a good location to food. The building and staff were very nice. We will definitely book in the same location, only in a different room next time, unless this one gets an update soon.

Peace of heaven but needs updating

Great location with beautiful view of the sea. Everything is close. Definitely needs updating. Older TV and bad reception. The sinks are short and makes it hard to brush your teeth and wash your. Main bed mattress is good but frame is coming apart. Would definitely go back specially if if it gets the upgrades.

Could’ve been better

I developed a rash from a seriously overused hot tub. The bracelets and security on site were a little over the top and my mom wanted to come visit for an hour and the front desk gave me absolute hell about it even though they told me it would be fine before I checked in. One elevator was out of order the whole time which meant we could never get an elevator down to the beach and had to carry all our beach stuff down the stairs. Little small inconveniences that started to add up over time that makes me think I’ll look elsewhere next Springbreak.

Disliked: Amenities
View was beautiful, but don't expect to get a good nights sleep. With the master bedroom located at the front of the condo it is very loud and annoying listening to everyone coming and going in the hallway, doors slamming, talking very loud and stomping around. You can hear kids screaming in other rooms. Makes for an un-relaxing vacay when you're sleep deprived.

Great views with lots of property amenities

Overall we really enjoyed out stay. Below are pros/cons; PROS: Condo is a great space with amazing views. Good sized kitchen and to good sized bathrooms. Pelican Beach resort has tons of amenities to include 3 pools, private beach, tiki bar, and a gym. CONS: We had to buy things like salt, pepper, cooking spray, and coffee filters. I think these should be considered as something you supply those renting the property. Overall would definitely stay here again, but we would know that we need to buy a few more things than expected typically with a VRBO.

Review

Everything was good except the couch was dirty and stained badly. With just our stay alone, I believe you all can afford 2 new couches. We covered them both with sheets in order to feel comfortable to sit on them. Also, the bottom of the shower curtain was dirty and should be changed.

This was our 2nd time staying at this resort and we love it. The room itself is great, clean and had everything we needed. Not a fan of how over crowded the resort seems, pools are always super packed.

Our stay

First off, we loved the fact that we got an early text for check-in! Our plane arrived at 7:30a and we killed time before hitting the pool/beach at the resort. The weather was not great and we had to relocate to other things while waiting to check in. The text we received that allowed us to get in early was amazing and perfect timing as we were all very tired and trying to push through. We were missing a few items that stated that would be there when we arrived. Neither bathrooms had toilet paper and one of the bathrooms was missing hand soap. Other than that it was great.

Wonderful Vacation

The condo was clean, and very spacious. The master bed was SO SO comfy! Perfect view of the ocean! The owners were quick to respond to our message and checked it to make sure all was well!! 2 pools and 2 hot tubs. The pools seem super kid friendly. The weight room and gaming room was a little confusing to find at first, but smooth sailing afterwords. The tiki bar was so cool and had delicious drinks! You get an arm band to have access to the pools and private beach! We loved everything about the pelican beach, and room 405!! Our only complaint was not in regard to room 405, but the laundry room. ( Well almost everything... The washer on the 4th floor was out and had a terrible smelling odor, we were asked to just use the 3rd floor laundry)

Nice family vacation

Great location. We were able to see dolphins one morning while on the balcony. Room was nice and clean. Only reason for not 5 stars is the water pressure in the master bath, pressure was too low. The guest bath was just fine.
