Perfect Beach Vacay

We stayed here in Spring of 2023 and loved it so much we booked the same condo for our family vacation in Summer 2024. Perfect amount of space for us, loved the corner unit with balconies overlooking the pools and gulf. Made for the perfect spot to sip morning coffee and watch for dolphins or have an evening cocktail and listen to the live music at the tiki bar.

Amazing!!!

Pelican Beach Resort 501 is incredible! The views cannot be beat with the floor-to-ceiling windows and it being a corner room! The unit was spotless when we arrived and appeared to be updated recently. We had no issues throughout or entire stay. We will be staying here again!

spectacular view and location

we have stayed at this resort a few times but this room was by far the cleanest and most updated that we have stayed. It was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The view is unbelievable with the 2 windows in the front room. It is on the 5th floor and very close to elevator. Perfect location. The master bedroom also has a balcony.

Wonderful Family Vacation

We had a wonderful stay at Pelican 501, property was clean, view was exceptional! The first morning we woke up to no water, called the property management line and got a response right away. Found out there was a water main break that affected the whole building but it was being worked on and water was restored fairly quickly. Great responsiveness and communication. We will definitely be back.

Fall break in Destin

We had a great time on our trip! Parts of the unit seem like they recently had some nice updates! The beach was beautiful but crowded! A few disappointing things; building was showing her age and while the unit itself had some updates, you could still tell it was aged. That was why the cleanliness had 3/5 rating. The furniture is modernly nice but not high quality, very cheap made, no dining table. I would suggest renting beach chair set ups well in advance! Beach was very crowded but it was a peak time. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

Loved the Condo, didn’t love the crowded beach

We absolutely loved this condo. We only really encountered an issue when trying to enjoy the beach. The area reserved for resort guests was so congested that we tried to sit to the side and a manager from the neighboring condo ran us off. So my husband and I had to get in the car and drive down the road and pay park fees to sit at Henderson State Park. A preference I guess, but all those chairs out front are not used yet they take up so much space. We loved how close we were to everything though. Overall it was great.

Be careful! Hot!

Don’t book with RealJoy! The condo was beautiful with amazing views! It was a little dusty, but that was no biggy. However, the AC was not working! They sent a guy to come fix it, but it still did not cool. We were sleeping in 78 degree. That’s too hot and you can’t cool off after being in the sun all day! They gave us an option to move to a completely different resort/location and refund us the nights AC was not working..but we were staying with other families that was booked at Pelican. So moving was not an option. We were able to book directly through pelican to find another room, which then RealJoy DISCOUNTED our nights by 50% with no AC instead of refunding us. So we still paid half plus fees for staying in a hot condo and then paid for a NEW room with new fees. I was emailing, texting, or on the phone EVERY single day while I was on vacation dealing with this! It was very frustrating and such a disservice! We will never book with RealJoy again for the hassle we went through!
