The condo itself was clean, the location was fine, and the host was very responsiveâwhich we appreciated. However, there were several disappointments that affected our overall experience. When we arrived, we discovered there was a coffee pot but no coffee filters, which was frustrating as I was really looking forward to my morning coffee. We had to use a paper towel as a makeshift filter. There were also no basic seasonings in the kitchenânot even salt and pepperâso definitely bring all your own supplies.We were especially disappointed with the Pelican Resort. It was extremely overcrowded and stressful. The beach umbrella situation alone felt chaotic, and one afternoon when a storm rolled in, my children and I were trying to get back to the condo but were nearly trampled by the mass of people rushing in from the beach. It genuinely felt unsafe with how packed and frantic it got. Destin in general has become so crowdedâit felt more like a theme park than a relaxing beach getaway.If youâre looking for a quieter, more laid-back vacation, this might not be the best fit. That said, the condo itself was as described and the host was great.
