Resort Details: Concerned about the busy vacation season? Don’t be, we have local professionals that we can call on to address any needs you may have, just call us. The Pelican Beach Resort also has a guarded entrance with seasonal security. Different colored flags are flown on the beach daily indicating the mood of the Gulf (this is very important). Our unit has a coded digital lock and we will personalize an entry code for you – no worrying about shared keys (or losing keys) or unauthorized access. All amenities available at Pelican Beach Resort are at your disposal. The Terrace building has its own pool, hot tub, gas grills and exercise center, but as our guest, you may also use the two pools at the Pelican building, hot tub, baby pool, tennis courts, sauna and sun deck.

Why Destin?: We’d love to have you come stay with us in our very own home away from home. We traveled to Destin as children, and the memories are still fresh in our mind. We bought our condominium so we could give our children the same memories, and invite you to enjoy this experience with your family! Nothing makes our 10 and 12 year olds happier than loading the car for a “Florida trip.” We will do everything we can to make your stay comfortable and memorable. Please feel free to call us if you have any questions or would like more details about the condominium or location. We have many local people at our disposal, but we self manage this unit, and pass on the savings to you. We don’t charge “reservation fees”, “administrative fees” or have other hidden costs, what you see here is what we charge. We look forward to hearing from you!!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q:What are the most enjoyable things to do in Destin?

A:The beach is number 1 for sure! Our condo also has resort amenities such as pools, hot tubs, a restaurant, tiki bar, exercise rooms, outdoor grills, and plenty of spots to relax in the sun. Destin is a nice mix of friendly Southern people with tropical flair! There are plenty of places to shop, eat, drink and have fun very close to our condo. You can even take a helicopter tour of the city and beach!

Q:What makes your vacation rental property more special than the others?

A:That's easy - it' s us, the owners. Ken and I have both had our own businesses in the past, and we know customer service is what makes our guests happy and keeps them coming back. We personally manage this unit - we don't leave that to some company to whom our apartment is one on a list or a number on a peice of paper. We want our guests to be happy, refer their friends and return. To do that we know we must be responsive to our renters and provide a place they can truly have a good time. Most of us only get vacation a few weeks per year, and we want to make sure you feel that you spent your time wisely! Just check our reviews on this site.

Q:What is the coolest activity nearby?

A:That's a tough one as there is so much to do. There are great restaurants, shopping and activities. If we'd have to pick a few we'd say Big Kahuna's Water Park (right across the street) and all the wave runnner/dolphin watching tours! There is also fishing and parasailing.

Q:Why are the rates so different for the same apartments?

A:When we started as renters we noticed that too. We think there are a few reasons. 1. Some of the listings are actually rental companies, not individuals like us, who have to hide fees or their commission in the rates. 2. Some people think they have to make a profit on each rental, and set their prices higher not realizing full occupany and happy guests is what brings people back. Yes, we have costs too, but this condo is not our main business, we would just like it to pay for itself. 3. Cleaning fees - we make sure our condo is professionally cleaned after each guest to hotel standards or better, and that is not cheap. Most cleaning services, ours included, charge considerably more than the cleaning fee we charge our guests. Some owners try to make up for that in the rent, others like us look at it as a cost of doing business.
