Pelican Beach 812 - Direct Beachfront - Beach, Pools, Hot Tub, Free Activities

Girls trip and we had such a great stay. The weather wasn’t always perfect but it didn’t matter because we could sit on the balcony or in the living room and just enjoy the ocean from there:) Clean place would defy stay again:)

Condo was excellent and management was very quick with anything we needed. My only complaint is that it’s time for the Pelican to update their hotel. Once again doesn’t reflect on the actual condo it was great.

We took our mom to Florida to see the emerald coast line she was in awe! She would just sit for hours on the balcony watching the water and waves roll in. Our mother has never really left Ohio she was in heaven from the resort to seeing the dolphins from our balcony in the morning! Would most definitely recommend this resort!

We’ve stayed at this resort multiple times so we knew we could count on a great location with great amenities. This was our 1st time staying in this specific room (our go-to location was subject to renovations from the HOA the week of our stay). The room was spacious, the deck was large with magnificent views of the Gulf of Mexico, and it included the basics needed to be able to use the full kitchen which is always a plus. The ceiling fan in the bedroom was loose and made a lot of noise so we could only use it on low. The mattress was surprisingly comfy (they seem to be hit or miss on VRBO). Our only issue during our stay was that the front desk had signs posted that they had a pest company that would be spraying the rooms across 3 days and a rather large window of time (10-3). We asked the front desk what day they would be doing our floor so that we could plan around it (making sure we have our belongings secure, aren’t napping or naked etc) as that is quite the inconvenience when this isn’t a traditional hotel with daily housekeeping (which we prefer not to have and attracts us to stay with VRBO). The front desk had no answers, so we reached out to the rental manager to see if the HOA had communicated anything more precise and to see if they could just plan to do our room on the 3rd day (since that would be after we check out and before the next guest could check in). They were quick to respond that they were not made aware of this bug spraying and that they’d contact the resort to try to arrange for the 3rd day. As a precaution we locked up our valuables that first day of spraying as a precaution - I was glad I had brought a suitcase lock (intended to use on our cooler). Then on our last full day (day 2 of potential spraying) we were woken up to the sound of two men talking inside our kitchen at 9AM (a full hour before the notice said they would potentially be spraying). This is a very alarming situation to be awoken to to say the least. We told them to leave, and called the front desk to make them aware and the front desk was very confused stating that it couldn’t be anyone affiliated with them as they do not have the passcodes to enter the rooms that are hosted by 3rd parties. They told us we would need to contact our rental agency to find out who entered our room. I reached out to the rental agency and there was no reply. We had proceed w/the remainder of our trip on edge that someone would enter and unclear how they obtained our code.
