It is a very secure resorts with security 24/7. Nice parking garage. The resort is right on the shoreline. We would walk to the elevator, and could get to the pools in seconds and be on the beach in less than 5 minutes. Plenty of seating. Very spacious. Our son loved the pools. We did rent a crib from a local company because there was only a pack and play, and he is particular with his sleep. We appreciated the washer and dryer. We really liked the balcony with the ocean view as well. Good restaurants around and close by shopping.

Room was very clean and view was fantastic! The elevator had a maintenance issue that prevented it from working for a couple hours. The place was very crowded - however - it is summer and school is out. Overall - it was a nice stay. We would stay there again - just not during school breaks .

My wife and I took our 3 children on this trip to Pelican Beach Resort. Our arrival was good. The only down side I had was that 1 of the 4 elevators was down, and we had to wait a bit for a cart to carry our luggage to the room. There is designated parking up front for check in and check out, so that helped. The room and stay were great. We didn't have any trouble with noise, and everything in the room was clean. I did not care for the pullout couch bed, but the other beds were comfortable. The room had plenty of things to cook with, and we did not have to purchase anything for what we did cook. There were public, gas grills, but we did not use them. Access to the beach was extremely nice at only about 5 minutes from our room to our reserved spot on the beach, and half of that time was just getting to the elevator and to the first floor. The beach was nice and clean. My family purchased the reserved seating provided by a third party the resort partners with, so we had front row seats to the beach. The staff on the beach made sure no one put their stuff in front of these seats, so we were able to just enjoy our time on the beach. Checkout was similar to check-in, but we did not have to speak to anyone at the desk since we went through another party. 4 of us had to wear a wrist band the entire time we were at the resort, but my 3 year old was not required to wear one. Overall, I wish I did not have to leave, and I would come back to this resort.

Unfortunately most of the rental places are closed In January, including the harbour walk with zipline, etc. However, we will definitely stay at this resort again. The facility and amenities were great. I liked that there was always someone at the front desk too, unlike other condos. Great place! Location was also great: walked to dinner, beach shop, and winn dixie. Just a short drive to other beaches. Gulfarium was a must with kids.

Great place to vacation with the family! We had a two bedroom rental - one bedroom with a king size bed, one bedroom with two twin beds, and a pull out couch in the living room. We traveled with a 13-year-old, 11-year-old, an eight-year-old, and five month old. The beach is close, white sand, and there were a few chairs in the rental that we could take down to use along with an umbrella. The weather while we visited in March was not ideal, and the red flags were out often. However, the pools are nice, clean, and fairly warm. We made the most of our stay. There are a couple of places for shopping for souvenirs within walking distance. There are a few grocery stores that we drove to to stock the kitchen. There aren’t any spices, or basics in the kitchen, so if you are planning to cook, you will need to buy those items from the grocery store. The only real complaint that I have is that only two out of the four elevators were working at the time of our visit. So on busy days, it was a long wait or a long hike up the stairs. Overall, I would say this place was a great find!
