Our family of 5 had a great stay at Pelican PH-02! This was our first trip to Destin and we spent a LOT of time researching places to stay. I’ll include all of the details to hopefully help others:
Resort/ Location:
- With kids the bay side is the place to be, easy access to lazy river that we used daily. Lazy river and pool on the bayside were very clean and well maintained. Plenty of tubes and we never had to fight for a table or chairs.
- Parking was easy and we always found a covered spot.
- Resort is close to grocery, shopping, and restaurants. Rockin Tacos and Crab Trap are walking distance across the sky bridge and were a hit.
- Area here not as congested as downtown Destin. We went downtown a few times, but the traffic there was pretty bad.
PH-02 Unit:
- Top floor pent house had beautiful evening views and the kids loved it. The grill was clean and easy to use. Two chairs on top were comfortable but one needed replaced.
- Plenty of cooking utensils and supplies in the kitchen, very well stocked for cooking.
- Great space, the bonus room with bunks was perfect for our two boys with the second bath right off of there.
- Pull out couch was clean and fine for a teenager to sleep on.
- Sheets and towels were bleached white and very clean
- Floors were obviously mopped but there was still a black residue that got on our feet the first night from them. They leave plenty of cleaning supplies so I just wiped the floors good with cleaner and paper towels real well the first day and we were fine from there.
- Tables and chairs on porch comfortable and they provide a TON of beach supplies. Two great beach chairs, wagon (needs replaced soon one wheel is dragging), and an umbrella plus boogie boards and toys for kids.
- Walls we’re pretty beat up, lots of scuff marks on the bunks beds, and carpet in the family room pretty stained. Just needs a new coat of paint.
- Large 58” Roku TV was awesome for a movie night when it was rainy.
- Super clean fridge and all the paper and cleaning supplies you need to get started.
- This unit has more privacy than some because the balcony is bumped out. Our in-laws were in the unit next door and we could see into their bedroom from our balcony table.
Coastal Vibes was extremely responsive when we had questions. Within minutes you would hear back.. great company and would definitely use them again for future stays.
Overall we had a great vacation. Would highly recommend and stay again!!
