Pelican Beach Resort 1717

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Beautifully positioned on the 17th floor of Pelican Beach Resort, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo offers a lovely view of the Gulf of Mexico coastline, just a few steps from the white sand beach in Destin. On the grounds of the resort, you'll have access to swimming pools, a hot tub & a pair of fitness centers, not to mention access points to a gorgeous stretch of Gulf-front beach. Come home at the end of each sunny day to kick back on the balcony with a view of the shoreline, get a homemade dinner going in the fully appointed kitchen, or simply relax in the company of three TVs, a DVD player, free WiFi & a CD stereo system. At night, take your pick of a king bedroom, a queen bedroom & an additional sleeper sofa.

Pelican Beach Resort is a Gulf-front property on the sparkling shores of Destin, an ideal escape for those looking to swim, surf, sunbathe, take long walks along the beach & test their skills in a wide variety of water sports. You'll also be right in the midst of Destin's most popular attractions, with Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park practically across the road, The Track's go-karts and miniature golf course less than a mile east & the Destin Harbor Boardwalk just over two miles west. Tee off on the Seminole Course or the Choctaw Course at Indian Bayou Golf & Country Club (two miles northeast), find an assortment of eateries and grocery stores within a few minutes' drive (including Target and Winn-Dixie half a mile northwest) & enjoy the natural splendor of Henderson Beach State Park (two miles east).

This rental was fine as far as space, and the view was nice. Other than that, it was very basic. The cleanliness of the place was fair at best, and the carpet really through me off considering we’re at the beach, and there’s sand tracked in and out.

When we walked in it was smaller than we had thought it to be. But once we got settled in everything was intelligently laid out. Full kitchen with anything you could need to cook a home cooked meal, living room and balcony were like a peaceful escape from the long days of sights and fun. Only compliant is that the room with the queen bed was so small that pretty much only the bed could fit in the room.

Shower curtains covered in mold. Pull out couch had stains. Pile of sand on the carpet. Had to wipe counters down. Took multiple pictures of everything. Do not rent this place. I want my money back. Horrible experience. Spent half an our locked our on arrival to be hung up on twice before getting a code that would work. Luggage was soaked.

Hot water: room not presented as what I was led to believe I was as renting. Needs a complete update. Please change the old green carpet. I did not feel clean the entire time I was there. No tv for one week. No instructions for working the tv. News was from weeks ago . Tv would turn off and go to another show in the middle of an old show. We finally kept it on just for noise. Sorry but this place is overpriced and rated for the beach.

We had a great stay! We had everything we needed and it is located close to everything! The beach is steps away and the pools great!! This unit has a washer/dryer inside which made keeping up with laundry from the water activities easy!!! Great condo!!

Overall a great place. Very clean and great views. Only one complaint and the one thing i wish the listing would have noted is the beach service chairs. Book your beach chairs early if you want close to the water. You can only set up personal chairs behind beach service chairs. With no view of the water. And both properties beside it are also private beach so you cant set up there either. They didnt have any left to rent that day so it was frustrating. We will know next time

Property definitely needing updating. The chairs on balcony and table were gross and I didn’t want to sit on them because they were disgusting. Kitchen chair was broken. When we arrived, there was a half eaten orange left on the couch… the dishwasher was broken, so we contacted the property manager, they said someone would be out Monday. Not sure if anyone was ever out. Never got notification that they were there. I washed the dishes we used the entire week except one dish that I ran the dishwasher to say we did. There were barely any dishes or cookware. I had to wash every dish before using them as they were all dirty. Not pleased with the unit. But We loved the resort. We will definitely be coming back to the resort!!! Everything was so clean, and the staff was extremely friendly, and loved all the activities! The beach was beautiful and we will definitely be back!!!!

We throughly enjoyed staying at the Pelican resort. There were a few issues, a lot of the outlets were not working so it was difficult to charge electronics such as iPads and phones. There was also not enough blankets/bedding for 6 guests. We have a baby who doesn’t need a blanket and only had just enough for the 5 of us. But there wasn’t anymore for the colder nights. Also- a vacuum provided in the property would really help, we have young children and tried our best to keep the carpet clean but the broom provided just didn’t keep it clean enough. Everything else was great.

Some of the towels were stained. Could use some hook on the bathroom and bedroom doors. Pools were great. Access to beach fantastic. View was beautiful. Desk staff not helpful as we booked online. Dishes were dirty on arrival.

Loved Pelican Beach! It’s busy and a little crowded at times but plenty of room in the ocean and it’s completely beach front! Condo 1717 needs some work though. None of the lights worked in the 2nd bedroom so my kids refused to stay in there. They all slept in the living room. It wasn’t super clean, like there were skittles left in the sofa bed and only a small blanket to use on that bed. My biggest issue was the electrical outlets not working in any of the bathrooms! Luckily I was the only female and just used the ones in the living room but I was annoying. For that much money, the lights and outlets should work!

Enjoyed being on the beach. Great time with friends. Condo was ok, but needs some fixing up. Remove carpet in living area and replace with vinyl hardwoods. No coffee pot. Rusty shower rod.

Everywhere from the beautiful beaches the condo the three swimming pools and especially the tiki bar. I went down there with my wife and 3-year-old and the wife's parents and her two brothers there was plenty of room for us in the condo. Easy check in easy check out the cafeteria food was good and pricing was reasonable. If there was anything that I could change it would have been the cost of seating on the beach for chairs and umbrella and they weren't too expensive just an expense I didn't expect. We will be booking a condo at this place for many years to come
