Enjoyed Pelican Retreat
We loved the house, pool, space, and location. The beach access was a quick walking distance from the house. It was clean, everything worked perfect for us, and we had zero issues. We would definitely stay at that house again and recommend it for others as well.

Great stay
The house was better than pictured and was the perfect size for our family. I loved the layout of the house and was perfect for our two dogs to have some fenced in spaces by the pool. The pool was great to have right off the house. The location was easy and walkable to the beach and some coffee and food. It had what we needed and we felt right at home all week. Thanks for an amazing stay!

Lovely stay
This property was perfect for our family of 7 and two doxies:) The house was cute & tidy & well stocked with everything you need. We really enjoyed swimming in the pool, which was well maintained, on the hot days we didn't want to get sandy at the beach :)The house location is close to everything! The only negative was the mattresses could use updating as they weren't as comfy as we would have liked. But we would definitely recommend:)

Beautiful home in the middle of everything.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was beautiful and stocked with everything needed to be able to enjoy our stay. The pool was smaller than we expected but overall it was great to have and very inviting. The rooms were all very clean and spacious. Overall we loved our stay here and would definitely stay here again.

Les points forts : Propreté, arrivée, communication et emplacement
The toilet leaked significantly onto the floor, and had been for some time, based on the stains on the floor.The top rack of the dishwasher was unusable, as the wheels had rusted off, and it would pull off the tracks with even the slightest pressure. The hot tub had a significant amount of mold growing in it. It was quite foul and clearly had not been serviced in sometime.The tankless water heater was set at 100 degrees, so the “hot” water was tepid at best until I turned up the setting. Overall, the house was relatively clean, the beds were comfortable, and it was extremely close to the beach. So, while the items listed above were not showstoppers, they simply indicated an overall lack of attention to detail.

Pelican is perfect!
We truly enjoyed our stay! The home was extremely clean, super comfy beds, stocked kitchen, and just a short walk to the beach. The pool was super refreshing and the perfect way to wind down our day. Also, it was nice that there were some beach chairs there to use. Will definitely return! Thank you!

Beautiful Accommodations
Beautiful updated property, very clean and spacious. Beds very comfortable and the pool was fantastic. Only minutes from the beach but we were more interested in hanging out at the pool. Have already recommended it to some of my friends and we plan on choosing this property from now on when we visit Destin, which is a couple times a year!

The property was very clean, especially for allowing dogs. The to do list for check out was the easiest out of all VRBO properties we have ever stayed. The internet was not as good as promised. Each time you left the property you would have to log back in, which was annoying and it would randomly drop at times. 2nd, while not an issue while we were there, the beach access in the summer would not be good. There is only a sliver of beach that is open to the public that is walking distance. In the summer there would likely be no room. The advertisement for this property needs to address the limited beach area in their listing.

Great Location and Quiet Family Spot
The location was ideal for a family trip. Everything about the house was great with only one small area for improvement. The beds, particularly the master is not the most comfortable. That may be a personal preference but I wish it was just a little softer but I guess that varies by individual. Family didn’t mind.

Great Trip!
We absolutely loved this place! Such a great place to be with your family and fur babies! Great Location and easy walk to the beach! The only downfall occured on our last full day there. We planned a full day out at the pool, but we unable to. The pool guy comes Friday morning (He was great didn't bother us, cleaned and left) then the yard guys came, and blew all the grass clippings in the pool and and made a big mess out back and didn't clean it. There was so much debris in the water there was no swimming our last day.

House was nice and very clean. The house was not pet friendly. You could not let the dogs out safely. The fence needs to be connected to properly secure safety of animals. The dryer needs work did not dry clothes very well.

Mostly what we expected
Pelican retreat is a lovely home and is a very comfortable walk to the beach, even for us seniors. The pool was also perfect, since we paid extra for it to be heated.
It was a great place to relax and in a nice neighborhood. Although, it was clearly “off season” as there were many rentals not being used while we were there.
Communication with our Avant Stay team was required twice with prompt responses and resolutions.
Two minor complaints: The Avant Stay WiFi for the property (much like a hotel) was cumbersome to use, lost connectivity regularly and was difficult for Android access.
There was plenty of dish ware, however, cooking pans and utensils were minimal. (Frying pan handle was loose with no screwdriver to tighten it up.)

Great house & location
Couldn’t be happier with the home and all the extra stuff to pack up for the beach “beach chairs” ..easy commute to Whole Foods and 2 blocks from the beach .. heated pool was clutch for the evening and double red flag. So minor things that needed to fixed but not broken 1. Shower head in master needs to be replaced and the faucet in the kitchen needed to be replaced but worked. Ice machine in fridge did not dispense ice however made it. Again very minor things. Overall family was super happy and felt like a 2nd home .. definitely will be re-booking this for next spring break in April.

Just returned from a weeklong stay at the Pelican Retreat, and we loved nearly everything about it! Things that were amazing:• The location! When they say “quick walk to beach”, they are not kidding. It’s a quick, direct shot and was perfect! Having not been to Destin before, we also found the general area the house is located in to be safe, convenient and pleasant. It’s a quiet neighborhood (perfect for evening walks) without much traffic, but within 5 minutes, you can be to some of the area’s top attractions. • The pool, and surrounding patio area, were perfect for our family of 5. The kids loved the pool light for night swimming (and adults loved the small in-pool bench seat)! • Other than the confusing (to us) bathroom situation referenced below, the house was exactly as pictured/listed. It was updated and very clean. We felt at home. Suggestions: • I would recommend clearly stating the bathroom situation in the listing. I would not call it a 3 bath home. (FYI for others - Bedrooms 2 & 3 each have a separate sink and toilet area with door. Those areas then open to one, SHARED tub/shower.) • Dressers in Bedrooms 2 & 3 would be a wonderful addition as there was nowhere to unpack folded clothes (only hanging space in closets). • Only hiccup of our stay was our emailed code didn’t work for front door, which caused a brief moment of panic after a long day of driving. Call to Customer Service resolved it. This house made our first trip to Destin so fun/enjoyable!
