Renovation Complete-Destin Pelican Beach Resort's Most Rented Beachfront Condo

The renovations are complete on the Destin Pelican Beach Resort's most rented beachfront condo. I drove down Thursday with my brother-in-law Chris and Friday morning we removed the furniture in the bedroom and then removed the carpet and pad and tack strip. After a couple of hours prepping we started laying porcelain tile on the floor.

Now the entire condo has tile floors and should be easier to clean. On Saturday the temperature outside was about 72 degrees so Chris and I (after tile job complete) took a dip in the ocean(we were the only swimmers).

Happy Pelican Beach Resort Destin Vacationer

Yesterday Mrs, Helen and her husband called to thank me for a wonderful vacation in my Pelican Beach Resort Destin beachfront condo.

Mrs. Helen found my condo 2 months ago on Destin Florida beachfront condo vrbo and after talking to me at length she booked my Destin condo for the entire month of November 2012.

She and her husband live in Ontario and they run a travel business specializing in leading tours to areas in Europe where WWII battles were fought. I told her in a couple of years I will use her services and expertise for a trip to Europe.

Mrs. Helen, thank-you for the call yesterday  and I look forward to your return visit next year.

A couple of days ago I had a lady(Janie) call from Ohio to book 2 weeks in September 2013.

Pelican Beach Resort Destin Is The Place to Be This Week!

The Pelican Beach Resort Destin is the place to be. It certainly is this week for my friend and cabinet man Chuck Walden and wife Bobbie. Last year Chuck made me some replacement cabinet doors with glass for the condo. This 6 night stay is his reward for a job well done.

Chuck and Bobbie are enjoying beautiful weather and the forecast continues to be the same. If you are on the beach down there look for Chuck and Bobbie.

If you are looking for a beautiful place for a vacation then look no further. I have been to Bahamas, Jamaica and the Virgin Islands and no place is as pretty as the beaches in Destin.

Please contact me for reservations or questions when you are ready to book your Paradise vacation. My direct number is 731-589-7841.

View Off My Balcony At Pelican Beach Resort Destin











I have a lot of people asking me about the view off my balcony at the Pelican Beach Resort Destin. I looked back through the many pictures I have taken and came up with three pictures.

The reason they ask is they are finding better deals in Destin beachfront condo rentals but when they get to the property they find out that it is across the street from the beach.

If you are like me and my family, we would pay a little extra to be "on the beach". In my opinion the view off my balcony is one of the biggest selling features for potential vacationers booking my unit. Don't forget that I totally remodeled my Destin beachfront condo a little over a year ago(to match fantastic view).

An availability calendar is over on the left side but if your dates are booked call or text me anyway as I have some cancellations that haven't removed the reservation on the calendar yet.  My direct number is 731-589-7841. I am often in meetings so texts work best.

My Short October Pelican Beach Resort Destin Vacation Is Over

My short Pelican Beach Resort Destin vacation has ended. My family and I flew to Destin last Wednesday and flew home late yesterday. When we left Destin the temperature was 80 under sunny skies and when we got home 3 1/2 hours it was gloomy and 45 degrees(west Tennessee). There is an airport one mile from the condo or if you fly commercial you would fly into part of Eglin Air Force base that is leased to the air lines(VPS). That airport is only about 15 minutes from the heart of Destin.

The forecast this entire week in Destin is sunny skies and 80's. While we were there we went to the annual Sea Food festival and also to the Fishing Rodeo weigh-in. We enjoyed both. The Sea Food festival was a 3 day event but the fishing rodeo goes through the entire month of October. IMO, October is the best time to go to Destin.

Please check my calendar for availability and if those dates are not available text me anyway at 731-589-7841 as I have cancellations and I also have friends with condos at the Pelican Beach Resort.

Best Management Company For Pelican Beach Resort

I would like to personally commend the Pelican Beach Resort Destin management company for the fine job they do for me managing the nicest condo at the Destin Pelican Beach Resort.I purchased my Destin beachfront condo at the Pelican Beach Resort just over 3 years ago and negotiated a management contract with the on premises management company.

They do a super job checking you in at the front desk, taking care of maintenance issues and anything else that comes up. If you are purchasing a condo either in the Pelican Building or the Terrace Building then I highly recommend the management team there on site.

Here is a link to a write up about the management company onsite that is on their website.

Thomas, if you, DeeDee, Niki or any of the front desk staff are reading this, I just want you to know how much I appreciate your professionalism and the way you treat me and my family and friends that travel to the Resort.

Pelican Beach Resort Destin #1004 - 2013 Bookings

Today I took my 3rd booking(2013) for my Pelican Beach Resort Destin condo #1004  . The first booking I took was back in March of this year when my snowbird was checking out. He told me he had to hurry and re-book before someone else got his spot.

Today I just booked a week in June 2013. This was a vacationer who stayed in my unit this past summer. He told me how much he and his wife enjoyed staying in my unit and they wanted to get their reservations set so no one else grabbed that week.

If you are considering booking my Destin Pelican Beach Resort condo for your 2013 vacation, I will go ahead(if you mention this ad) and discount your stay off the 2012 rate sheet(usually goes up every year). I appreciate all my renters and will continue to work very hard to make your Destin vacation stay enjoyable.

Destin Beachfront Condo Rental

Our Destin beachfront condo rental is calling my wife and I to return to the beach. Actually my wife and I have a trip planned for October but I may get there sooner to replace the bedroom carpet with ceramic or porcelain tile.

I have been trying to do that job but someone in the family gets sick and I don't get to get down there. September may be a good month to go for 3-4 days just to do that job. Everything else in the condo is already remodeled so this will complete the remodel we started a couple of years ago.

Looking at the calendar over on the left side I see that there are a few days available this month and several available days in September. Looks like October is filling up fast so don't wait to book your Destin fall break vacation on the beach.

Two Closest Airports To Destin,Florida

Yesterday I got a call asking what are the two closest airports to Destin Florida? The answer to that question depends on if you are flying in on commercial or flying yourself in. There is actually a small airport almost in the heart of Destin(one mile from my beachfront condo) and its'identifier is DTS. They do not have regular commercial flights in and out. This is where I fly in and rent a car.Here is a link to Destin Jet which is the premiere FBO on the field at Destin. Rental cars are available at all three airports listed here. If you are traveling to Destin by commercial flight, you actually have two choices. The closest is at Ft. Walton and the designator is VPS. This is actually a part of Eglin Air Force Base that is leased by commercial airlines. Here is a link to that airport. This is located just north and between Ft. Walton and Destin and about 20-25 minutes from most of Destin. Another option for you would be the Pensacola International airport. Here is a link to that airport. The drive time from that airport would be just over an hour from Destin. Whatever airport option you chose, make sure to chose the nicest beachfront condo at the nicest family resort on the beach in Destin. My availiblilty calendar is over on the left side. If you do not see available dates contact me anyway because I may have a cancellation. My direct number to call or text is 731-589-7841.

If you are looking for the nicest updated beachfront condo at the Pelican Beach Resort then look no further. Hurry and pick out some available dates over on the left side and contact me (Mike) directly at 731-589-7841

Headed to #1 Condo In #1 Beachfront Resort In Destin

My family and I are headed next week to the #1 condo in the #1 beachfront resort in Destin. We are so excited to being going home to our second home in Destin. Since #1004 is on the rental program it has been almost fully booked but we grabbed a week on the calendar and now it is our turn. As for me I plan to just relax on the beach and maybe schedule a fishing trip. My wife and daughters all love the beach so I am sure we will all be beach bums. We are driving this time as we have to pick up a friend in Montgomery and the plane is not large enough for all of us plus luggage. I sure wise we were flying because 3 hr flight(airport 1 mile from condo) verses about 10 hours driving is a no brainer for me. I just looked at the calendar and it is pretty booked for June and July but even if your dates appear not to be available please call me because I may have a cancellation. My direct phone number is 731-589-7841.

Pelican Beach Resort Unit With Beds That Sleep Well

Are you looking for a Pelican Beach Resort 1 or 2 bedroom condo with beds that sleep well? Look no further, unit #1004 will make your family sleep like babies all night. Here is a recent post about a lady who bragged on the master bedroom bed. Not only are my hallway bunks rebuilt complete with entertainment centers for each, but they both have new mattresses.When I rebuilt the hallway bunks a year ago I slept on the bottom bunk and the old mattress. What a miserable nights sleep I had. The next day there were two new hallway bunk mattresses and that night I again slept on the bottom bunk and slept like a baby. In addition to the king size bed in the master bedroom, there is also a sleeper couch in the living room. I do not sleep as well on that(although the couch is pretty new) but then again I haven't found a sleeper couch that was very comfortable. If one person is assigned the sleeper couch I would recommend not folding the bed out and just sleep on the couch. Contact me direct at 731-589-7841 to book your family's Destin vacation where all will sleep well!

Please Do Not Wait To Book At Pelican Beach

Please do not wait too long before booking at the Destin Pelican Beach Resort and especially my unit #1004. I have had two different potential renters call to book this month but their dates got taken a day or two before. I do allow Pelican Beach Resort management to also book my unit at a slightly higher price than I charge. They manage the unit for me in case you have a problem after check-in. Most of my rentals are coming from Destin Florida beachfront VRBO and I keep that calendar updated but sometimes there is a day or two delay in updating. Please, if you are having a hard time finding a nice place that is available, just call me direct at 731-589-7841 and I will try to make your reservation right then.

Renter Review-Pelican Beach Resort Destin

I just had a guest check-out who sent me this little note(renter review): Mike: Wanted to let you know how much we LOVED your unit at Pelican. It is beautiful and the view was amazing. Saw dolphins every morning! Would you know where you purchased your memory foam pad for the master bedroom? I have a daughter going to college and this would be perfect to furnish her room with. Thanks! Cathy, that memory foam 4" pad came from Sams. We sleep so well on it when we are there.

Discounted Vacation On The Beach In Destin

Are you looking for a discounted vacation on the beach in Destin? If so, maybe these Destin beachfront condo rentals specials will work for you.

Both of these specials are only good for exact dates in April or May 2012.

Here is the first deal: Check in Friday April 6th and check out Sunday the 8th. For those two nights the regular price would be $590(peak season). My discount price for those two nights would be $475(includes all taxes and fees). This is a first come first serve.

Here is the second deal: Check in on Sunday the 29th of April and check out Thursday the 3rd of May. This is for 4 nights. The regular price for these 4 nights is $878.01. The Pelican Beach management company would make this deal on #1004 at $684.01(for early booking) but my price is $674.00 which is a savings of over 27% off the regular price.

One might ask why I am discounting these dates so heavily and the answer is because they are the only dates my condo is open in April.

VRBO Destin Beachfront

Many people trying to book a Destin Florida vacation get on Google and type in VRBO Destin Beachfront.

This condo is registered with VRBO and here is my site there. I tried to get VRBO to allow me to link to this website from my Destin VRBO beachfront condo site but they would not because they believe me to be their competition and I guess I am.

About 5 minutes ago lady called who found me on VRBO yesterday. I gave a her what I thought was a great rate for her vacation but she found something $100 cheaper so she booked(with an outside rental company). She told me she really wanted to stay in my unit but it is not available. She is right in that that rental company does not have access to my unit. She is trying to cancel with that company to come to me but they are wanting to charge her a fee to do so.

There is no place like home!

My family and I just drove to Cape Canaveral and took a cruise to the Bahamas. When we returned to land we drove to Destin for only a one night stay. We felt like we were back home.

Our Destin Pelican Beach Resort condo just happened to be open for 3 nights so we stopped there on the way home. We considered extending our stay an extra day or so but those other two days had just been reserved. It is so hard to only stay in "paradise" for one day and night.

We ran into some friends at the resort from Dyersburg. Did you know that the #1 Destin beachfront condo rental for people from Dyersburg is the Pelican Beach Resort?

When we bought our beachfront unit 3 years ago, we walked out on the beach and ran into 35 people in a church group from Dyersburg,Tennessee. Of course my family has been staying at the resort for several years.

We have traveled the world and have never found anyplace as beautiful as Destin and its beaches.

Destin Snowbirds Fly Away In One Week

My Destin snowbirds are flying away in a week. Actually my Destin Beachfront Condo Rental snowbirds check out in one week to return up north.

I received a letter from them yesterday telling me how much they were enjoying their stay in our condo. They also reminded me that they re-booked my unit for next year.

My family and I are headed for a cruise this weekend but plan to come back through Destin and stay in our Pelican Beach Resort condo before heading home in Tennessee.

Flights From Tunica/Memphis(UTM) To Destin(VPS)

The number one search term that people are using to find my site here is Tunica to Destin flights. I wrote a blog post about a year ago announcing the new flight by Vision Airlines.

I have been doing some digging and Vision Airlines says that those flights last year were seasonal and they plan to get them started back up this summer.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

I have sent an e-mail to Vision Airlines asking for clarity so my readers can know whether or not they can count on a Vision Airlines flight into Destin for their next vacation.

Please continue to check back here as I will update this post as more information comes in about Vision Airlines flights from Tunica to Destin.

Update: March2,2012

I received a response to my email to Vision Airlines about flights to and from Destin. On the latest flights map, Vision has no flights at all into Destin.
Here is that e-mail

At this time we do not have a schedule for any Destin routes. The Executive team is still in discussions on the summer schedule. I will keep you posted if we do add any new routes. Thanks for your interest and support.

Destin's Nicest Beachfront Condo Almost Booked Up

Destin's nicest beachfront condo is almost booked up for the first half of 2012. What a difference a $20,000 remodel makes when people are booking a vacation?

In my last post I advertised a full week in March that was available but that is now booked. Looking at the calendar I do have 6 nights open April 15-20th. That booking will run you $975 for early booking(next 2 weeks) and this includes all fees and taxes. Another 6 night block is available from May 6-11. I can let you have those 6 nights with early booking(next 3 weeks) for only $965.00(taxes and fees included). That is a discount of over 25% off the regular rate.

The next full week available is June 16-22. That total price with over a 20% discount off the regular rate is $1750.00(taxes and fees included) if you book early(in next month).

I should have bought more units when I bought this one about 3 years ago but I did not understand that everyone was like me and they love vacationing at the Pelican Beach Resort Destin.

Only 1 Week Available In March-Nicest Pelican Beach Condo

We only have one full week available in March for the Pelican Beach Resort's nicest 1 bedroom(sleeps 6) condo rental.

The calls and inquiries have been pouring in trying to find reservations on the beach for spring break. My Destin beachfront condo rental may not be the cheapest but it is the best!

To save you some time calling, if March 16-23rd is still available over on the left side(availability calendar), I will make you a super deal for 7 nights in that time frame for only $1200(if you pay cash and I have no credit card fee) or $1225.00 and you use your credit card. These prices include cleaning fee and sales tax. I expect this deal to last only a couple of days since we are so close to spring break.

Call or text Mike at 731-589-7841 to make an inquiry or book this condo.

Nicest Destin Florida VRBO Beachfront

How do most people find the nicest Destin Florida VRBO beachfront condo rental? They get on Google and type in Destin Florida VRBO beachfront.

After that they scroll down to the most beautiful resort on the beach(Pelican Beach Resort). Then they look through all the VRBO Pelican Beach Resort listings spending several hours looking at up to 16 pictures on each listing. They come up with a short list and if their dates are available on the calendar they then contact the owner.

Time after time my new renters tell me I was always at the top of their short list. Many times it is because of the extensive upgrades but many times because their kids say I want my own bunk with tv/dvd. As far as I know this is the only Pelican Beach condo with that feature.

Please check my availability calendar and see if your dates are available then contact me for additional information and pricing. My direct number is 731-589-7841.

Pelican Beach Resort Guests Catch the Fish







Don't you just love a good fishing story? I know I do! Yesterday I got a Google alert for the search term Destin Pelican Beach Resort.

I was excited to be reading a fishing story about guests at the Pelican Beach Resort who came to Destin to do some serious fishing.

This story appeared originally in The Florida sportsman Magazine and was written by Jeff Weakley. These guests stayed in a 2 bedroom on the angled side of the Pelican Resort. My unit is a 1 bedroom with new hallway bunks and sleeper couch(sleeps 6) and directly faces the gulf. I cannot promise you will catch fish like this(I have) but I can promise first class accommodations second to none. Check out my availability calendar over on the left side and contact me at 731-589-7841 for pricing and more information.

Here is that fishing story link.

Better Hurry to Book Your Destin Pelican Beach Resort Vacation

You better hurry to book your Destin Pelican Beach Resort vacation. I am getting lots of inquiries now about booking my unit #1004 but over half of them are disappointed that their dates are not available.

I just booked for Cathy from Evansville who told me she spent hours on VRBO looking at Destin beachfront condos and my unit kept popping up for the criteria she was searching for. She just told me on the phone prior to booking that it feels right so lets make that reservation. I sure was glad her dates were still available.

My availability calendar is over on the left side so hurry and pick your dates and contact me at 731-589-7841.

Snowbirds Just Re-booked for Next Winter

The snowbirds in the Destin Pelican Beach Resort unit #1004 just re-booked for next winter. Although they just checked in on January 1st of this year, they love their home away from home so much that they did not want to miss it for 2013.

This is their first year staying in our Destin beachfront condo but they have stayed in other units in the Pelican Beach Resort in Destin.

If you came and stayed with us last year, please don't wait to book for this year. Reservations are coming in hot and heavy for this vacation season and unit #1004 has never looked nicer.

Hurry To Book The Nicest Destin Beachfront Condo

Hurry to book the nicest Destin beachfront condo while your dates are available.

Not only am I booking #1004 but my management company is also booking my unit. I have had several employees at the management company(Pelican front desk) come up and look at all the updates and improvements that we have made over the last year. They come in saying wow and leave saying they will help me book it even more.

Please if you see your vacation dates open on my calendar call or text me right away as the good dates are going fast.

You could call the management company to book my unit but I offer an even lower rate than I allow them to offer on my unit.

Who Owns That Destin Pelican Beach Resort Website and Condo


If you have done a search recently on the internet for the Destin Pelican Beach Resort or done a related search you probable are seeing this website pop-up. Often times we pop up above the big money people such as trip advisor, resort quest, expedia, book-it, vrbo and others. The reason for this is because we put so much effort into posting fresh content complete with pictures, videos, and information relevant to Destin and/or the resort.

We own unit #1004 at Destin's Pelican Beach Resort. This is a picture of my wife and I. We are in love with each other and with the Pelican Beach Resort. If you look closely, you can see a rainbow in the background as we stand on our patio at the resort.

The temperature this month has been in the high 60's and low 70's. I guess our snowbirds(booked in our unit) are enjoying this view right now.
