Once again staying at this property was absolutely comfortable and amazing. We felt like we were home again… We will continue to book this condo for all of our stays in Destin. We had just as much fun the second time around:)

Condo was comfortable and well stocked with everything you need including beach towels, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, etc. Great central location in Destin. The Cafe in the building has fantastic food too! Washer/dryer was nice to have.

Everything was exactly as described. Beds were comfortable. Hosts provided little extras that made our stay more comfortable and enjoyable (fan for bedroom, power strips, beach towels and chairs). View of the beach and ocean were amazing through the floor to ceiling windows. Would definitely recommend this property!

The condo and the view was spectacular! This was a special vacation for us because our 3 children got to find out what their newest sibling was going to be. The pools were great and the beach beautiful! The room was clean, tidy, and had a lot of home comforts! We will be back!

Condo was just as listed. We had a toilet issue when arrived but property owner was 9n it right away! Eady to communicate with. Highly suggest this unit to anyone looking!

One of the toilets didn’t work, there was sand and trash in the floor when we arrived, the beach chair service owns the beach and they tell you where to put chairs. They would not let you sit in the first 20 feet from high tide line because it would block the 5 rows of beach chairs view. Don’t stay at this resort!

During the pandemic my family has missed four vacations.... my children have been too afraid of hanging out in a space that wasn’t ours :(. This condo was so amazing!! Everything was actually as described online. We had a wonderful experience and it felt like home :) we loved our stay so much that after the first night of six we booked and paid for another seven days in August. We loved our time in your condo! Thank you for allowing us to see the beach again :)

Our family had such a wonderful time in this condo. It is so beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything that we could possibly need. I enjoyed sitting out on the deck and watching the sun come up and the waves with my coffee in the morning. Loved having the 2 bathrooms so that the kids could have their own space and so could my husband and I. The beach is sugary white sand and we would spend most of our day in the water or hanging out on the beach. The waves were just right for body surfing and to just bob around in. Owners left a list of some wonderful restaurants. Our girls especially loved "The Cone" which is an ice cream shop very close to the condo. We "may" have been there quite a few times during our stay. We will definitely be back to visit this great vacation condo!

The condo was as advertised, the balcony was large and had a great view of the ocean, and all the beds were very comfortable! Beach towels were provided which was awesome and it was great having laundry in the unit. The only downfall was the resort puts up 5 rows of umbrellas and chairs for rent on the beach and when we went to reserve them on our first day only the back row was available. If you are considering staying I would strongly suggest that you use the website ldvbeach.com to rent an umbrella and chairs a week or more before arriving as I assume that is what many others did to get rows closer to the beach. This information is in the welcome binder provided by the host but was too late for us unfortunately. The umbrella and chairs provided by the host were great and we used them almost every day, but you do have to set them up behind the 5 rows of rentals so no real view of the ocean.

This location couldn’t have been more perfect for our family of four. We had quick access to the beach so we could set up the chairs and umbrella that were supplied in the balcony closet. Our boys loved moving from the beach to the pool below our balcony on the hot afternoons because the condo shaded it. Ordering groceries from Publix and to our surprise they delivered directly to our room making it so convenient. The cafe on site had amazing food for a quick bite for breakfast or lunch. We ended each day with a special tiki drink and our boys loved the frozen kid friendly ones! Our snorkeling excursion from the Harbor Village was an easy $8 Uber ride away. Just perfect and we can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful condo with everything you need for a beach vacation! Washer/dryer and beach closet with chairs, toys and coolers were are favorites! The view is amazing! The resort has many extras like 2 restaurants and a tiki bar! Highly recommend this unit!

We loved it-the condo was beautiful with a wonderful view. It was right on the beach. The pools were very nice. The only bad thing-we we’re able to get in the big hot tub only on our first day of the stay-after that the hot tub was TOO HOT. I and other guests repotted it. Hardly anyone used it because it was too hot.

I chose this condo based on the previous reviews the host received and I was not disappointed! Laura was extremely accommodating and just plain wonderful to work with. The condo is exactly what the pictures show. Very clean and stocked with all you will need for your getaway. The Pelican Beach Resort has a wonderful tiki bar with a terrific menu (both food and drinks) that is very reasonably priced. This was our first trip to Destin and we will be back! Thanks so much for helping make our week such a great time!

This resort and condo were absolutely perfect! It is exactly how you see in the photos. The host is amazing and I promise you if there is a problem with anything she responds quickly and goes above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your stay. We are already looking for dates that we can book this condo again! Thank you for opening your place to us :)
