It’s all about the view at this 8th-floor condo in the Pelican Beach Resort. Stash your bags in one of the two comfortable bedrooms, grab a frosty beverage & step out onto your private balcony to start enjoying it immediately. And the view from inside is almost as good, thanks to two full walls of windows. Once you’ve had your fill, slip into your swimsuit and head downstairs to check out the complex amenities, including indoor and outdoor pools and a hot tub – or head straight for a lounge chair on that gorgeous Gulf Coast beach.

When you’re ready for a break from the sand, come home to relax in the central air-conditioning. The open-plan living space includes a full, well-equipped kitchen, a dining area & a living room with comfy couches, perfect for a relaxing evening at home. Modern conveniences include a washer/dryer, free WiFi and cable & three TVs, so no worries if you can’t agree on what to watch. But with so many restaurants just a short walk or drive away, don’t call it a night just yet – head out on the town to celebrate your good luck at booking the perfect Destin escape.

Lovely view

The condo was as expected and more! It was clean and the vibe was warm & tropical. The view was beautiful. We were right next to the elevator to bring us outside to the pools! Although it was chilly weather, the indoor/outdoor pool was nicely heated. And of course the hot tub was enjoyed by all!

Destin Condo

The condo was in a great central location. The condo was clean, but dated. All of the furniture, including the patio chairs were old and stained.The appliances were also dated and we needed up having to wash our dishes by hand because I don’t think the dishwasher was working well.Like other listings, you need to bring your paper towel and TP and dish soap, because they do not provide enough. Also, no hand soap in the condo.The complex is nice, lots of pools and the beach is gorgeous! It was nice to have the snack shop right on the property for a quick snack or lunch. The Tiki hut was busy all day for drinks.The beach is busy and dominated by the chairs that are for rent. If you brought your own, you have to make do with a spot farther back. And those even fill up early! We were there for Spring Break though.Overall we would definitely go back!

Very nice, highly recommend!

Very clean and comfortable condo. Good view of the beach from the balcony. Convenient access to the beach through the resort. Nice to have the less used elevator right out the door. The resort had nice amenities with the pools, hot tub, Cafe and tiki bar. The condo kitchen was nicely stocked with pots, pans, plates, glasses, utensils, etc., but I would have expected maybe some stuff like cooking oil and seasonings, like salt and pepper. Overall, great place, highly recommended!

Nice Condo and Location

We loved the location of the property and its amenities, but a few updates are needed at the condo. The beachfront location and heated pools were very nice during October. The condo could use some updates. All TVs need to be updated to Smart TV s instead of cable. Balcony furniture was old and rusty and cushions stained. A table and chairs would have been nice. The kitchen didn’t have any potholders or a decent baking pan for goo-king. Other than these issues, the bed was comfortable and condo was clean and roomy.

Pelican Beach 818

Great condo. Very clean. Might want to suggest to owner a toaster would be a nice small appliance to add. Front door has a large gap between door and frame, could feel the wind coming in. Other than that, it was fine.

Beach therapy

Beautiful, clean condo with great views of the ocean. We appreciated the early check in, & ease of communication with Vacasa. Kitchen was well equipped, but could use a toaster & sheet pan. Stove top burners did not sit flat, but were still functional. Our cable went out the afternoon of our last day, we did trouble shoot but was not able to fix the problem. We chose not to have maintenance come in on our last night since we were leaving early the next morning. There are 3 pools all heated & the beach is beautiful! This is our 2nd stay at the Pelican Beach Resort & would highly reccommend.

Hurricane Helene

So normally I don't do reviews, but after the experiences of the last few days I feel with this specific trip it is necessary. I want to open by saying that the room, and location were great. Destin is beautiful, expensive be it, but beautiful. I have no complaints about this. However, their refund policy during this event was not okay. We were reserved for 9/22 thru 9/28. Me, my wife, and 2 month old son were here and it was me and my wifes anniversary. Hurricane Helene formed during our stay. I contacted the Vacasa property manager on Wednesday (Landfall was expected Thursday) after the gulf coast was under tropical storm warning up to Walton County (Miramar beach area which is only 15-20 minutes away). Destin however was not. After contacting the property manager, I was advised that if we left early that a refund for the unspent days would not be issued unless a order to evacuate was given by local government. Additionally, while it is not the property managers problem, our path home took us directly up the path of Helene so it would have been impossible to get back home. We left early on Wednesday 9/25 around 1530 as to not put my wife or newborn through the return trip. I realize hurricanes are part of Florida, and it is part of life. There was a very serious risk to Destin during the storm and post storm, which is exemplified by the fact they still use cones for hurricane prediction models, because they are still unpredictable. I will not go through Vacasa again

Very challenging property

First off I guess VRBO was the front company for Vacasa Properties. Vacasa was great. Their communication and followup were exemplary. The unit is located at the farthest end of the building away from the Beach. The view from the MB and living room was great, the problem was that it put the unit right next to the trash chute. So at various times during the day and night there were loud episodes of trash being thrown down the chute. Not a problem for the Master bedroom to be fair but a definite problem for the second bedroom. The unit itself was fine but dated dated. I would recommend at least an update to the tired and sad couch. The beds were good. The only things not really working well were the blinds in the second bedroom which lost the closing mechanism. Not a big deal. The real problem had to do with the building itself. There were multiple elevators out of order including the staff/cleaning elevator. So the line and wait at the elevators were horrible and really took away from enjoyment of the property. One time it was so bad that my wife and I hiked the 8 flights on the stairs to our room. Moreover there must be 300 units in the building with about 10 luggage carts. So we had to take multiple trips up and down the elevator to get settled. I don't like to give negative reviews but I would feel bad if I didn't alert others of this experience so that you can make a better informed decision. The location of the facility was good and the room comfortable.
