The condo was exactly as advertised. Pelican Isle isn't a fancy place, by any means, but our unit was clean. The view is amazing. There's really not a lot of beach front in the area - just a few miles. So location of this condo, as all the others, is convenient to anything you'd want to do in the area. As far as the chair service, I have mixed feelings about it. It is nice to not have to lug chairs out each day. However, if you want to get your free two chairs, you have to go out at 7:30am when the guy is setting up and get them then. If not, you won't get chairs. They'll all be taken! And, the 3 rows of chairs pretty much block the ocean view (if you don't get a chair on the front row, you are just looking at the back of a chair, all day). As far as the condo, our unit was clean and had everything we would need for our stay (plenty of towels, toilet paper, kitchen items, etc.). Only those with reserved parking can park under the building but we never had trouble finding parking in the parking lot and Pelican Isle provides luggage carts to help you get all your stuff to and from your room when checking in/out. There are only two elevators in the middle of the building for the whole building, so we did prefer to take the stairs (located on each end) except when we had a ton of stuff. It wasn't bad, only 4 floors up but that would be hard with small kids or the elderly and especially, if you are on a higher floor. But, it didn't bother us. We had a good time and if we go back to Fort Walton, we wouldn't mind staying here again.
