About this house rental
Welcome to Pelican Retreat!
WHAT TO LOVE ABOUT THIS HOME:

- Private pool in the fenced backyard
- Outdoor dining area and grill

Welcome to Pelican Retreat, a quintessential beach house just one block from the beach! Located in famous Crystal Beach, this custom, completely renovated home is just a short and safe two-minute walk to the world-famous white sand beaches and emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It's perfect for your next family vacation!
The star of the show lies outside in the private fenced backyard with a gorgeous pool. Spend your days soaking up the sun, and cool off with a refreshing dip. Fire up the grill on the patio and dine alfresco under the trellis, where string lighting provides to perfect ambiance all day long.
Step inside to discover an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, creating the perfect space to gather. The kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and everything you need to prepare home-cooked meals. Three bedrooms and two and a half baths complete the home.
You will fall in love with the Crystal Beach neighborhood of Destin, known for its white picket fences and upscale cottage-style homes. The area is convenient to an outdoor shopping mall, a movie theater, countless restaurants, and shops, water park, go carts, and several world class golf courses, but still maintains a quiet and family-friendly beach atmosphere. No high-rise condos are allowed in this unique area.

Great family vacation
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
Very easy walk to the beach with small kids. The property had everything we needed and made for a great vacation!
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
Nice house, great location. A few minor repairs needed on doors. Landscaper cut grass and blew it in the pool! We cleaned the pool endlessly. Overall B
6 / 10Average·Dec 2025
The toilet leaked significantly onto the floor, and had been for some time, based on the stains on the floor.The top rack of the dishwasher was unusable, as the wheels had rusted off, and it would pull off the tracks with even the slightest pressure. The hot tub had a significant amount of mold growing in it. It was quite foul and clearly had not been serviced in sometime.The tankless water heater was set at 100 degrees, so the “hot” water was tepid at best until I turned up the setting. Overall, the house was relatively clean, the beds were comfortable, and it was extremely close to the beach. So, while the items listed above were not showstoppers, they simply indicated an overall lack of attention to detail.
