"Fabulous Get-away - We are repeat guests at Pelican Beach Resort but first stay at the Terrace. The u it is well decorated, comfortable and inviting.We enjoyed the pool being less crowded and the elevators were easily accessible. The beach is only a short walk. LDV beach service is fantastic. Be sure to reserve chairs and umbrellas well ahead of your stay. We would recommend the unit for groups of 4. There is a sleeper sofa that was uncomfortable but we made due. Realjoy is professional, communative and makes sure you stay is everything you want it to be. We will definitely be back."

"Roadtrip - House was very clean! Very central to everything we needed and wanted to do. Wish we did know that we had to reserve umbrellas and chairs ahead of time but other than that it was great!"

"Amazing & Beautiful Location - Overall, this was a wonderful experience! First and foremost the check in process was very easy and straightforward. The condo was beautiful, very clean; and very well decorated! My only complaint is that I wish the bathrooms were renovated as it’s seems the kitchen and living area were. However, it didn’t much effect the stay of my trip! The location of the condo is in a very safe and beautiful area guarded by security & fully gated around with only one entrance with security in the front! Walking to the beach for the first time was a little confusing, if you plan on walking to the beach from the condo you have to go through the property only, the bridge that goes across the pond is misleading as it brings you to the houses which are completely separate from the Pelican resort.
All in All, I recommend this condo to everyone and give it a 5/5 for my stay!"

"Spring Break - Everything was neat and tidy. We had a great stay and did not lack any amenities! The little welcome package was a nice surprise :). Thank you!"

"We had a great stay. The condo was easy to find, clean and in a very central location (close to restaurants, things to do, shopping…) The Terrace is not directly on the beach with ocean view but just a few steps away and walkable. We liked all the pools, hot tubs, the Tiki Bar, Cafe and easy beach access of the Pelican Beach Resort."

"Family vacation - It was easy to check it, real nice and clean, nice view and right in the center of everything!"
Stayed July 2022
"Great location & view, modern furnishings, comfortable - The Terrace has everything you need for a large party. Our 2 bedroom was comfortable for a party of 6, with 1 or 2 kids sleeping on the couch bed. If you don't mind the short walk to the beach (as it is not directly on the beach), having access to the Pelican Resort, that DOES sit on the beach is really nice (Tiki Bar and extra pools)."

"Enjoyed our stay! - Overall everything was pretty good. A few complaints: water pressure in spare bathroom shower was not great, and the couple staying in there did not like that it was two twin beds pushed together. Felt that was false advertising for a king bed. The property was clean, easily accessible and perfect for what we needed and wanted.
The beach was a bit further than expected and not super visible from the balcony. And the phone number provided was not to the resort so they were not familiar with the check in process. The listing is also not clear that this is a condo at a resort until after booking and you receive information regarding your stay."

"Family Vacation - This was a great experience! The condo was very nice, spacious and right off of the beach. Just want we were looking for."
Stayed May 2022
"Beautiful condo, nice location - Overall, this was a great choice for a beach getaway. Best of both worlds in that we didn't have to pay beachfront prices, but still had full use of the beachfront facilities. It's a super easy walk down to the beach.
The condo was comfortable, beautifully decorated, and looks recently renovated. We had a plumbing issue in one bathrooms that was quickly fixed. My only suggestion would be to beef up the kitchen supplies. We didn't cook much while we were there and there were only three of us so it wasn't a big deal, but the dishes were very minimal, so a family of four or more with plans to cook meals would washing dishes a lot.
We were pleasantly surprised by the supply of beach chairs (4 of them! There was also one umbrella we didn't use). These were nice to take down to the beach in the evenings after the rentals were put away."

Felt like home."
Stayed July 2021
"The condo is older but it worked perfectly for our stay. The kitchen is stocked with plates, cups and such but be sure to buy anything you may need because nearly nothing else is provided. On the beach-beach chair situation is great, the staff was so friendly and we loved the convenience of tiki bar-also the pizza is pretty decent. Off the beach-The area is surprisingly not super pedestrian friendly and we were glad not to have rented bikes. Traffic is nuts, restaurants are busy and it’s a drive to nearly all the places we wanted to checkout so be prepared for that but, otherwise, everything is laid back and fun."

"Everything we wanted + more - This was a beautiful stay at Pelican Terrace in Destin. The room was actually more than we expected. Really great for the price. The location is next to many restaurants and major stores and we had little to no problems during our stay."

"Excellent condo!! The view is exactly as pictured, but even better. Beach access was a short walk through the resort property and easy to reserve beach chairs. Strongly recommend booking your chairs online ahead of time, since everyone seems to do so even if they don’t plan on coming to the beach that day. The condo was sparkling clean, beds were comfortable with blackout curtains.
We used the FunPass to go snorkeling and on the dolphin tour. It was a great deal!! They provide unlimited beverages on the boat, non-alcoholic and alcoholic. We snorkeled in a little bay that had hermit crabs and some silver fish. Then we watched pods of dolphins that had 2 new babies. The guides were hysterical and it was really fun.
The only thing I thought was odd is that the condo doesn’t provide any basics for cooking that most hotels have beyond the actual pots and pans, dishes, and utensils. There was a coffee machine but no filters or coffee. No salt and pepper or butter. We had to buy everything of our own, and brought what we could back with us since you’re not allowed to leave anything behind.
Lyft and Uber drivers seemed to have a hard time figuring out which building was ours, so be prepared to call them when they arrive.
Overall it was a great trip and would absolutely stay with this company again."
