3rd Floor

Guest Bedroom: King Bed and Twin Bunkbed

Guest Bedroom: Queen Bed and Twin Bunkbed

Area Attractions:

Close by is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. Also for the younger guests, a nautically/pirate themed outdoor playground features a 1,750 square foot soft play area with various creatures from the sea, slides, and a treasure chest!  Destin Commons also has a mini-train for the kids. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Godiva Chocolates, AMC Movie Theaters and Bass Pro Shop. 

All the excitement of Destin is just minutes away: choice of water-sports, golf, amusement parks, and outlet shopping.  One glimpse of Destin beaches and you're hooked. It must be the wide, white beaches and the famous emerald waters. Not to mention the fabulous fishing, the world's most beautiful beaches, addictive seafood and the full array of activities for kids of all ages and more fun to be found in Destin.

If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017.  Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach access (by Pompano Joe's), it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Great location/heated pool wonderful!

Great location, master bedroom & other large bedroom were roomy & comfortable, but queen size bed/bedroom wasn’t comfortable, bed was wobbly/supposed to be attached to wall but was loose, tv view was obstructed from bed, bath outdated. Some dishes in cabinet were dirty, but otherwise everything was clean. Heated pool was very nice! Had to fix/tighten multiple fixtures in unit during stay.

New Years @ The Blue Pelican

Reservations and check-in were quick and easy! I messaged through VRBO to ask to get the pool heated three times, but never got a response. Once we called we talked to a very friendly representative who took care of us! The fenced in patio area with the pool could use some landscaping and attention, but the pool was warm and clean:) The neighborhood and pool across the street that we had access to through the resort was also wonderful!

Girls Weekend

Our stay was amazing. The property was perfect for us. For someone looking at this property for a family vacation to cook to save money, the kitchen is TINY. That was my only ‘complaint’ and it wasn’t a deal breaker for us. Just got a little crowded around meal times. We enjoyed the house. Super close to the beach and had everything we needed for 7 adults.

Overall would book again.

The location is great! The property itself is great but the property was not clean. I did take photos and sent to management and communication was great through them. There was a problem with the refrigerator not working and all our food spoiling. I did reach out and there was a note left by someone that they had went in and fixed it but it wasn’t. We mostly ate out so it wasn’t a deal breaker. Overall we had a great stay.

Birthday Celebration

The house was very nice but the fact we could not go outside in the backyard was an issue. I got the house to use the pool but the snakes wouldn’t allow use to come outside. Once we went outside and moved a chair it went into the pool and went back and forth from by the grill to the pool.
