Nice balcony view. New appliances. Dirty and noisy bad parking for trucks

Told to ck in early. Code was wrong. Had to wait 25 minutes for texts and calls to get door code. Then changed again in 4 days to original code??? Floors had hair and dirt on our wet feet. Tables were not clean. Urine on toilets face and pubic hair under other seat. Couch had stains so we used bunk bed sheet to cover it up. Black mold in shower seals and it leaks. Tp holder non existent in master so sat it on tub edge which i also had to wipe hair out of! Stoves new but leans back 2 inches so water runs to back of pans. We called week before and were told construction was done but a bit in front. 🙄 It was literally two doors down and started at 8:00 and was unable to block it out even with earplugs we got at walmart! So never ever got to sleep in on our rnr vacation!!! Foam insulation crud was blowing all over in the room and in pool and onto beach from the workers there. Very littery for the maids and environment! The bed had huge worn out body dips that we rolled into so we had to rotate the mattress and remake the bed to sleep at even level! We had to clean when we got there and buy a heavy blanket to use bc the top slick sheet would not stay on the bed and was sooo thin. Cheap cheap. Appliances look nice and table sets nice and balcony view is whats worth it. Wont go again to this room or with construction for sure

Don’t Stay Here!

I have stayed at pelican beach several times. Hence why I opted to stay there again. It has always been a pleasant experience, until this time. The unit was abysmal. There was one rusty chair out on the balcony, the furniture in the pictures online did not match what was in the unit. the cabinets were peeling. The general condition of the place was uncared for. The furniture looked like something out of a garage sale. Very disappointed will never stay here again literally, false advertising.

Worst Rental Ever

READ ALL THE REVIEWS FOR THIS UNIT. You will see the same complaints over and over going back a couple of years with nothing being done to improve things. Vacasa responds to every complaint with the same generic message. If I would have read the reviews, I would have NEVER blown my money on it. I can use only 1500 words on here, so bear with me. Check in was a nightmare. Code provided did not work. Had to call Vacasa as we stood in the sweltering sun with all our luggage. We got a code at 4:25 meaning we lost money on the unit because of the time lost over the debacle. Had to call twice to resolve code issues. The unit is WAY out of date. A ripoff for the price. The pics on the website are a lie. On the balcony, only one rusty chair and a rusty table. Bulbs were blown throughout the unit. There is not a sofa and chair as pictured, only one, lumpy sofa, so if there are more than 2 people, someone is sitting on the dingy, brown carpet. The master bed had a thick plastic cover and the fitted sheet did not fit leaving you sleeping on hot plastic. The handicapped parking is a half mile away from the entrance, so beware if you have someone with mobility issues. The bedroom TV remote doesnt work, so you're stuck with one channel. I'm not able to list everything on here because youre limited to 1500 words. Do yourself a favor and scroll on by this unit or expect EXTREME discomfort.

A horrible experience!

We were schedule to arrive at 4 pm and was unable to get in because the code did not work. We didn’t get in until 4:25pm. We then walked in to a smell that was unbearable. The dishwasher was clogged. The tv did not work. The appearance was nothing like the online pictures. Horrible!

Love the resort, not the room

The stay was okay. We received a text that we were able to check in and when we got to the room the door was open, about 10 mins later the maintenance man just barged in. It was very outdated, the light in the bedroom was very delayed it took a minimum of 10 seconds to actually turn on, there was old food left under the tv stand. We will stay at the resort again but not this room.

Extremely outdated unit! The unit needs a complete remodel job. When I pay a premium rate to stay, I expect a high quality unit. All mattresses were in very poor condition. The tv didn’t work in the bedroom. The atmosphere felt pretty gross. It would have been nice to have felt a little pampered. Too pricey for what you get. Disappointing, really. Only one chair on the balcony. The ocean was cool though.

Accommodations need a lot of work

Beautiful view, nice layout of interior. Well-stocked kitchen accessories, towels, blankets, etc. Appreciated the beach chairs in closet, as one of the two chairs on balcony was broken; rust all over exterior of fridge, black areas on ceilings near vents (don't know if it was soot or mold), living room furniture not comfortable at all. Rust all around exterior of 2nd bathroom shower on chrome; shag rugs in living room and bedroom felt sticky underfoot. Other family members stayed at property in another unit which was spotless and very much updated. Our opinion = not quite worth the amount of money charged for the week.

We enjoyed our stay. The condo was just as expected from the listing. The view was amazing from the 14th floor, but the elevators were a challenge at times. The beach was amazing. Do wish the café would’ve been open longer hours.

Overvalued and underwhelmed

It wasn't bad, but there were too many things that shouldn't have been. The ceiling fan in the master bedroom was a bad first impression. The blades were very loose and one was almost completely unscrewed. I fixed it best I could without tools, but I shouldn't have needed to. The air handler dripped and dripped and dripped. We couldn't sleep because of it so we turned the thermostat up high enough to not kick back on. Then I was hot. I would have fixed it if I could, but it'll take an HVAC technician. Lots of mold in that closet. I think it has leaked for a long time. We didn't abuse the AC either. It was set on 73 when we arrived and we put it on 72. These are not things that can completely ruin a vacation, but they are things that I expect to experience when I skimp and buy the cheap condos in a wannabe vacation destination. That shouldn't have happened in Pelican Beach or probably in 90% of the rental spots in Destin. For the money I paid for one night, I could have taken my wife on a 3 day anniversary cruise to the Bahamas. Hindsight.... The part that aggravates me most is that I know these problems didn't just happen. I am pretty sure they were preexisting and previous guests didn't leave feedback. Or worse, they did report the problems and Pelican Beach did nothing. Like the huge pile of pigeon poop on the balcony. That didn't happen last night. It probably took a month for that much poop to accumulate. Its still there. As is 1409. We are not.

The place needs a bit of maintenance and updating e.g. the ceiling fan blades in bedroom are about to fall off so can't use it, several light bulbs burned out stain on ceiling in a few places. Cosmetic things are abound but if you're there for the view and beach walks you won't care.

Family Trip

First off we love the Pelican Beach Resort and the views from high up units are beautiful however, this is the worst condo we've ever stayed in at the property. Hopefully Vacasa will lock it up and clean it up. They should be capable considering they have many other properties in nice communities. The space was pretty dingy and could use some serious TLC. The whole until looks like it was furnished and fixtured by a 90's thrift store. It had carpet, which is just nasty for a beach condo. Rusted shower curtain rods and a disgusting, yellow/transparent shower curtain in the master bath. Shower heads need replaced and water pressure needs turned up heavily. Ceiling fan blades our a few screw turns from flying off in the master bedroom. Window in master bedroom whistles in high winds, so be ready for that if bad weather comes thru. The kick plate in the kitchen by the fridge is dirty and knocked in. God knows what Florida rats or nutria live inside. All of these issues could be addressed if there was better rounding by the Property Manager, as they're clearly not there regularly or just don't care.
