Relax on our balcony and enjoy the direct view of the beach that Southern Living Magazine voted #1 in the United States! Located on the 17th floor, watch the dolphins play in the beautiful emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Sunsets with the most vivid colors are especially memorable.

This condo has 18' Noce travertine tile, new LVP floors in the bedroom, a queen sleeper sofa, and much more. There are five other condos available one floor above if you have friends or family that would like to join you on your vacation.

This condo has a keyless entry - no key to pick up or send back and forth, no key to worry about losing at the beach. Less hassle and saves time.


The master bedroom has a king-size bed for your comfort as well as a private bath. Two bunk beds in the hall, a queen-size top grain, leather sleeper sofa and an additional full bathroom allow up to six people to sleep comfortably.

Location is always key and Pelican Beach Resort is very conveniently located. The condo is right across the street from the Big Kahuna's water park, very close to shopping and numerous great restaurants as well as many other resort activities. This newly remodeled condo is a great value right in the heart of Destin!

HURRICANES: Though I hate to mention it… If the area is under a Hurricane Warning issued by the National Weather Service, I will refund all of your money if you have not arrived yet or prorate the days that you are forced out. Believe me, my fingers are already crossed.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
The property is very nice and in a good place, sits back from the road with good security. The tiki bar is really nice and convenient. The room is nice but it’s a rental and you can easily tell, we had a few problems but the host addressed them. The entrance door could use a little work but that’s my biggest complaint. We have rented here a couple of times which we wouldn’t do if we didn’t like the place very well. The beach gets a little crowded because it’s such a big resort but the beach and ocean are wonderful. They also have pretty good pillows which is unusual.
8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
Overall experience at Pelican condo was great. It was well maintained and had great security. Three different full-size pools and a smaller "hot pool" provided plenty of access. The condo and room matched the listing. The view from the 17th floor of the Gulf was wonderful.Check in was no problem and plenty of carts are provided. This was off-peak so not sure how a Saturday in summer will be. The unit was as advertised but the decor doesn't match the beach vibe with very heavy, dark furniture. That's just personal taste, I suppose.But we were there for the outdoors and overall, the experience was wonderful. Would consider another visit for sure if returning to Destin.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Everything was wonderful about our stay!!! The owners of the specific unit were so quick to respond and helped us out so much! The property was perfect and everything about the condo itself was wonderful!!! Will definitely be booking again.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
The property had excellent views of the water and the staff were very nice. the unit was very outdated and not well maintained. the balcony looked like it was not cleaned in quite some time. Pigeons had taken up residence and there was bird feces everywhere. couldn't sit on patio furniture.
