Incredible Ocean Views & Beach - The Heart of Destin Action - Walk to the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Terrace of Pelican, Room 803, was wonderful! From the moment we walked in, it felt welcoming. There was a thoughtful welcome note, snacks, a fresh smell, and everything was so clean. The beach towels, beach items, and little travel essentials people often forget made our stay even easier.The owners were amazing. They even messaged us about a seafood festival happening nearby and shared the dates and times so we could check it out. The room looked just like the photos, but the photos can’t capture the warm, home-like feeling our family enjoyed while we were there.Beach is only a quick walk across the parking lot. You walk to some of the most beautiful views in Destin. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this property!It’s a great place for a family vacation or a getaway. I would stay here 1,000 times over! Thank you for making our vacation stay top tier! "
