Nice place but first VRBO

The property is clean and family friendly. The beach is so convenient but the view is blocked by chairs if you don’t rent them. The Tiki Hut was good food, but just meh service. It was nice to have right there when kids get hungry, but be prepared it’s a little expensive so plan accordingly. We were surprised by the size of our VRBO, the rooms were smaller than we thought. And the bed did not fit two adult people in the spare bedroom. It was Overall I nice stay though.

Our first time to Florida

Our stay was pretty Amazing.. everything was great the view was breathtaking! It was our first time to Florida and my youngest first time to the ocean! And we loved! We wanted an ocean view and washer dryer in unit as well as we was scared of bugs we had everything we ask for and no bugs! We are very happy with our stay and will booking again! If I had to find one thing wrong with this place the only thing that was a downfall was the chair rental company they take up all the views of the ocean because you have to sit behind them and then there is really no beach left because of the 5 rows of chairs all the way across not a fan of any of that!

Great Place

We wife and two sons recently drove down from Indiana on our first family vacation. The room had plenty of space and everything we needed for our four night stay. The bed (at least the one in the master bedroom) was comfortable and bedding was nice. The kitchen had all major appliances and I was surprised to see a Keurig. The pools, hot tubs, and beach areas were clean and we had plenty of space for ourselves. My only gripe is that the room and lobby area walls were dinged up and could use a good cleaning or coat of paint. We’d stay in this room again.

This 9th floor condo was everything as expected and more. It was clean, bright, & well equipped. Decorated very pleasing to the eye; beachy and comfortable. The views from this condo were stunning. I truly felt relaxed. The property owners were very responsive and easy to work with. This is a must see property. Till next time Destin...

Great comfortable condo

We loved the renovations in this condo! The decor is pretty and beachy. BUT it wasn’t perfect and we probably will not stay here again. I’ll start with the PROS- That view! Such an amazing beautiful view! Wonderful to be able to open the patio door from the master as well. Comfortable beds. We like our mattresses a little on the firmer side so they were perfect for us. Location. Perfect spot in Destin and close to everything. Heated pool. Nice since we had cooler weather. Beautiful condo. CONS- The kitchen has the bare minimum. It would be nice to have some plastic cups for drinks instead of having to bring multiples of your own. No paper towels (most condos have at least one roll to start you out). No dish soap (again common for most condos to have a small bottle). There are too many rules at Pelican Beach. I understand the need for some of the rules in place in order to keep the property safe and clean, but we felt restricted and not able to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. The wrist bands are super annoying. I have stayed at places with wrist bands in the past and they were not as strictly enforced as with this place. I have a nice tan line from it. It’s not like it’s all inclusive or anything... *The biggest problem for me, and the reason we will not stay here again is the limited beach space and the rules AGAIN on the beach. When I go to the beach, I bring my nice chairs and umbrella with me. I like to be able to see the water from my chair. I also expect to be able (and allowed) to sit with my chair near the water and read my book. You cannot do that here! The rental chairs get the front row and there are signs out saying you cannot go beyond this point. You are not allowed to sit with your chair near the water. The beach is also roped off with signs saying you cannot go beyond this point.. which is not for me at all. I can only imagine how packed that little square on the beach gets in the summer. We ended up just renting chairs on our last day (and spending more money) just so I could get the view and experience I came there for. We have rented many condos and houses all over the country but mostly on the Emerald Coast. And we have never stayed anywhere with so many rules. The condo itself is wonderful. Not so much Pelican Beach.

Beach vacation

We had a great time in Destin. The condo was very nice and clean. The kitchen had everything you need to cook with if you decide to eat in but the restaurants are also really good. The view was really nice but If I could make one suggestion, the balcony needs a high top table and chair set. The view is beautiful but the railing hinders the view.

About the host

Hosted by Ella

Host profile image
Hi! We are Leo and Ella! We love to travel and enjoy quality time with our children and grandchildren. During winter, we ski the Wasatch Mountains in Utah, and the summers are spent on the beach. We love to meet fellow travelers (and especially gain new ski buddies). Additional favorite activities include cooking and entertaining.

Why they chose this property

We visited Destin last fall and fell in love with white sand beaches and turquoise water of the Gulf of Mexico! It's dolphin cruises, open-air shopping and fresh, local seafood restaurants! It's fun family vacations and a romantic spot for couples. That's how we found our perfect vacation home!

What makes this property unique

The Gulf view from our balcony on the 9th floor is spectacular! We are right on the beach!
The decor of our condo is really beautiful! Interior design is my hobby, and I had a lot of fun remodeling our new vacation home.
