1 Bedroom Availability at Destin Pelican Beach Resort

I just had another VRBO inquiry asking about April 1-3rd availability. Although my unit will be occupied by my family I did do a search on the Pelican Beach Resort Destin website and found these deluxe plus one bedroom(dolphin) units available.

Units 304,1110,507,407,402,608,and 807. That's it. If you would like to view pictures of these units, click on the link about and do a search for deluxe plus dolphin units for those dates. And, if you book before tomorrow, you will get a 15% discount off the price the website gives you.

If I were you, I would look at these units then call 888-735-4226 and tell them to book you in one of these units and be sure to tell them booking code A1080.

Discounted April Days Almost Gone!

Today is the last day to take advantage of the 15-30% discount for early booking for spring break and early summer at the Destin Pelican Beach Resort. My last post advertised a period of time in April that is discounted 30%.

My unit is now only available for 4 days during the 30% discount period. Those days are April 11-14 and the total rental amount is $626.94(includes tax and fees).

My family and I are headed down tomorrow to the Destin Beaches and Pelican Beach Resort.

Beachfront Resort Destin Florida


If you are finding this blog for the first time you may not realize that the Destin Pelican Beach Resort is beachfront. The Resort consists of two different buildings and one of those(where my condo is) is beachfront with two different views. The beachfront building has 2 bedroom units(sleeps 6) on an angled view of the beach. All the one bedroom units(sleeps 6) are directly facing the gulf as you can see from the picture I shot off my balcony (up above).

The corner stack(2 bedroom) units have both views and rent for more money. For more information about the Pelican Beach Resort Destin click this link to their website.

There is another building in this resort that has a view of the gulf but is not beachfront. That building is The Terrace and you will find penthouse units as well as 2 and 3 bedroom units.

Newly Painted Exterior For Pelican Beach Resort



The Destin Pelican Beach Resort is in the process of painting their interior and exterior of their Pelican Building(on the beach). I believe they have completed their interior painting(common areas including lobby) and are in the process of completing the exterior.

Actually painting has halted temporarily but will resume on April 19th(after spring break). Right after they resume painting they will begin painting the walk-ways beginning on the 20th floor. These wet floors will be closed off to traffic for 24 hours so come back here for info about this.

Why the Pelican Beach Resort is Still Marketing for Easter Spring Break

Yesterday I received a Newsletter for the Homeowners of the Pelican Beach Resort. I discovered while reading that the reason people are slow booking for Easter and spring break at the Destin Pelican Beach Resort is because of the unusually cooler weather being experienced in Destin.

Many are choosing to wait up until the last minute to book their Easter vacations while watching the weather reports for Destin.

This would also explain why the Pelican Beach Resort Destin continues extending the deadlines for discounts for early bookings.

Although my unit #1004 is booked for that time period, I have friends with Pelican Beach units that I can refer you to to book your Easter vacation on the beach in destin.

Spring Break Availability at Pelican Beach Resort Destin

I have been getting tons of VRBO inquiries about the availability of unit #1004(
Destin Pelican Beach Resort)for Spring Break. Most of the requests have come in for beachfront rentals during Easter week. Up until yesterday this unit was booked but someone dropped one day so we rearranged our calendar to free up this unit for rental beginning April 4th or 5th(check-in) and staying a minimum of 5 nights.

Currently our property manager(Pelican Beach Resort management company) is offering a 20% discount for 5-6 night stays(if booked by March 22) for this particular week. I can sweeten the pot with an additional 5% discount if you allow me to help you book my rental unit on the beach in Destin.

30% off April 9-16 for 4 or more nights at Destin Pelican Beach Resort

Today I got an e-mail from the management company at the Pelican Beach Resort Destin announcing a special 30% discount off the regular price if you book 4 or more nights between April 9th and April 16th. They are calling this the Pelican Escape Spring Break Offer. This special offer is only valid for year 2010. I can however offer a pretty good discount if this discount has expired so call me at 731-589-7841 for current discounted rate.

I believe the Resorts of Pelican Beach is offering this special because many of the rental units are not booked for that late spring break time period. I just looked and noticed that my unit #1004 is not booked for those few days. Just click this link to view pictures and the calendar for my unit then call the 800# and make your spring break reservation and save 30%.Be sure to give them my booking code A1080 when you reserve my unit or any other Pelican Beach unit.

Good bye to my Destin Pelican Beach Resort Snowbird


For the last two and a half months a snowbird has rented and occupied my Destin Pelican Beach Resort condo. They are checking out this weekend on the 14th. I hope they had a great time and tell all their friends.

A very special family is checking in behind them. Kim Jetton has been battling cancer for the better part of a year and has finished chemo and surgery. She and her family are going to Destin to enjoy the Frazier's Pelican Beach condo in Destin. We have been telling them how beautiful the view is off the balcony looking out over the gulf.

We remodeled this unit when we were down in October and put the final touches on it in December. I personally cannot wait until Kim walks in and sees how nice her new temporary home will be. Kim has been through so much and this is a small way to help her start to enjoy life again.

Many VRBO Inquiries For Destin Pelican Beach Unit #1004

Back when I purchased my 1 bedroom 2 bath(sleeps 6)Destin Pelican Beach Resort condo, I also purchased a 1 year subscription to the Vacation Rentals By Owner website.

In the last week I have had 7 inquiries from VRBO clients about availability and pricing. On my VRBO profile I have to list the prices based on the different seasons.

What some people might not understand who are using the services of VRBO to find a Destin condo rental is that the management company at the Destin Pelican Beach Resort offers Hot Deals specials for early bookings for the different seasons of the year and you quite possible might find a lower price by following these specials. In addition to these specials I also offer an additional 5% off the top if you rent my unit #1004.

If you will look back at my last 2-3 posts I discussed the current specials being offered.

You can always check back here to see the current specials being offered by the management company located inside(at front desk) the Pelican Beach Resort Destin.

Scrambling to find a Destin Pelican Beach Rental for Spring Break?

Earlier I wrote a post about the unit #1005 beside my unit #1004. I discussed the rates(if booked by March 15) for bookings from March 20 - May 27th. This should cover the spring break period.

If that unit gets booked(just might since I am advertising it) I do have an alternative suggestion. My friend Maris from Utah owns unit #314 which is a 2 bedroom 2 bath Pelican Beach Resort condo.

If you are interested in looking into renting this condo for spring break just click this link to see pictures and check availability. Both units 1005 and 314 sleep six people with the difference being the one bedroom has hallway bunks and a sleeper couch and the other has 2 bedrooms(guest bedroom has 2 twin beds) and a sleeper couch.

I have figured the discounted rates for you for this 2 bedroom unit(must be booked by march 15). For 3 nights the total including tax is $624.43. For 4 nights the total would be $814.07. For 5 nights the total would be $947.94. For 6 nights the total would be $1126.43. For 7 nights the total would be $1204.68.

To book either #1005 or #314 (before March 15) call the Pelican Beach Resort Destin management company(front desk at Pelican Beach Resort)at 888-735-4226 and give them your information, dates and condo you want to book and also give them booking code A1080.

Destin Pelican Beach Resort Bookings For Spring Break










I am getting lots of VRBO inquiries for my unit 1004 for late March and early April.
My unit #1004 at Destin's Pelican Beach Resort is pretty booked for that time period.
However, my neighbor here in Tennessee bought the unit(1005) right next to mine and he does have availability.

You will see the pictures here of his unit. Right now his calendar is open from March 18th through the month of April.

Right now if you book by March 15th, this unit can be rented from March 20 - May 27th and receive a discount of 15% for 3-4 nights stay, 15% discount for 7 nights stay, and 20% discount for 5-6 nights stay. Let me take this a step further. If you want to stay 4 nights your total cost(tax included) would be $685.76. For 5 nights your total cost would be $796.98. For 6 nights your total cost would be $945.28. To stay 7 nights your total cost would be $1006.55.

If you are interested in booking this condo and getting these discounts please call the Destin Pelican beach Resort Management company at 888-735-4226 and give them booking code A1080 and tell them the dates of your spring break and unit #1005.

Another Spring Break Special Offer

Today I got an e-mail from the Destin Pelican Beach Resort management company announcing another Destin Spring Break Special Rates Deal.

A few weeks ago the Pelican advertised a similar offer for bookings during spring break.
This time the dates have changed a little but the discounts appear to be the same.

This newest promotion expires March 15, 2010 and is for dates March 1 - March 12, March 20 - May 27th. The discount offered is 15% off daily rates for 3-4 nights, 20% off daily rates for 5-6 nights, and 15% off weekly rates.

Although my March is booked solid for unit#1004 at the Destin Pelican Beach Resort, I do availability after the month of March. And remember, any discount offered by the Pelican Beach management company(they manage my unit also), I can add an additional 5% discount to that if you let me help you book with my booking code A1080.

More Pelican Beach Resort Destin Early Bird Pricing Coming

I wrote in my last post that the management company at the Destin Pelican Beach Resort is offering an early bird discount for the summer rates. The announcement says this discount expires March 15, 2010. It is my guess that they will extend this deadline 2 weeks and have it expire the end of March.

Beginning April 1st, I believe the Pelican Beach Resort Destin will offer an early bird special rate for the fall break season. This is the time that most of the people from my hometown of Dyersburg vacation in Destin Florida.

I just looked at my calendar for March for unit 1004 at the Pelican Beach and there is only one day open. Thank-you to all my readers who are booking my condo for their vacation to Destin.
