Just Beautiful At Pelican Beach Resort Destin

Today it is just beautiful at the Pelican Beach Resort Destin. My family and I got here Saturday afternoon and it has been sunny everyday with the exception of a storm front which came through at dark last night. I got up this morning to a bright sunny day with temperatures in the 70's.

I went swimming on Monday and the water was cold at first but not bad at all once I got used to it.

Today is our last full day at the resort and I am sure we are headed down to the beach after the movie "Gone with the Wind" goes off our tv.

If you are looking to rent one of if not the nicest Destin Pelican Beach Resort condos for your vacation, check the calendar over on the left for availability then call or text Mike at 731-589-7841.

Is There a Deluxe Plus Plus at Destin's Pelican beach Resort

This past weekend I traveled to Florida to build new hallway bunks and remodel the master bedroom in my Destin Pelican Beach Resort condo. My brother-in-law and another friend completed our work there in 2 days and even found time to work in a fishing trip.

I will share my fishing adventure(hint-8'shark)another time. Here are pictures of before and after of the two projects we completed.

The first label you come to is 1(pictures of unit #1004). There are three different posts with pictures of either my unit or of the resort itself.

Good Friend checking Into My Destin Pelican Beach Condo On October 23

A couple of weeks ago I ran into my old friend "Rabbit" at McDonalds and I asked him if he was due for a vacation. He was there with his wife Laura and they both said at the same time, "we want to head down to the coast in next couple of weeks".

I then mentioned a beautiful 1 bedroom Destin beachfront condo to them and Laura wanted to see pictures. I referred her to this website and the next day she called and said sign me up.

I have known Rabbit for a long time and I am excited for them to stay in my Destin beachfront condo for a reduced "great rate".

I will be following their 5 night stay with a little maintenance/fishing trip of my own. My brother in law and I are rebuilding the hallway bunks and plan to include some recessed lights and recessed tv/dvd players for both levels.

Destin Beaches Nicer Than Virgin Island Beaches

My family and I just returned off a 7 day cruise to the Virgin Islands. We had a great time but my wife and I agree that there is no place prettier or nicer than the beaches of Destin.

While we were gone, we had some VRBO inquiries and other inquiries about future reservations and pricing. If you tried to contact me while I was gone, please call me back to book your vacation to unit #1004 and the Destin Pelican Beach Resort.

Fall Break Renter-Destin Pelican Beach Resort

Zack and his family checked in late Thursday night for a 7 day vacation on the beach in Destin. This family is from my hometown of Dyersburg,Tn. I suspect there are several families like Zack's from Dyersburg and from the church they attend(Springhill Baptist church).

I checked in with Zack on Friday and he said his family is having a great time and the condo is just beautiful. I am going to see if he has his computer with him and if he will comment on this blog post about his vacation so far.

If you are looking for a great place to spend your fall break then look no further than the Destin Pelican Beach Resort and unit #1004. My availability calendar is over on the left along with pictures and videos of past vacations.

Surgery Nurse From Louisiana Checking In Today

Paula, I know you are going to enjoy your 7 night stay starting today. My wife and I have been remodeling our unit. You should love the new kitchen cabinet doors we just installed. How about the new bath vanity? I have that missing small glass globe for the new kitchen ceiling light that we just installed(globe broken in the box) and will install it next month.

When your sister and her husband come, make sure to break out the extra foam pad we have stuck in the closet. That is for the sleeper couch and will make it very comfortable.

If you get a chance, please comment on this post and tell my readers about the Destin Pelican Beach Resort, my unit #1004 and the beauty outside(especially while sitting on the balcony drinking a cup of coffee). I bet you forget all about surgery!

P.S. Thank-you for referring all your friends you work with at the hospital.

Pelican Beach Resort at Night

Have you ever been driving down Hwy 98 in Destin at night and wondered which high rise was the Resorts of Pelican Beach?

While I was there last week I shot this picture.

My Discounted Twice Condo Rates

Yesterday someone asked me why I don't publish the rates for my Destin Pelican Beach Resort condo #1004.

I would love to have fixed rates on here but the management company for the Pelican Beach offers different specials all the time. The way they set their rates are as follows:

1. They do have fixed rates for Pelican Building which they base their discounts on.

2. Then depending on how occupancy and reservations are going, they will offer discounts off those published rates.

The way I set my rates is normally determined by pulling up their rate sheet, then look at the current % off "hot deals" then take an additional 5% off that discounted rate.

By doing it this way, I can make sure I am giving you a better deal than you can get from the Pelican Beach Resort.

Family of 4 enjoying their Stay At Pelican Beach

My wife and I have some friends here in Dyersburg,Tn that home school their kids but presently they are enjoying their vacation at the Destin Pelican Beach Resort.

James and Janet checked in yesterday and are having a great time. James e-mailed me earlier and told me he just went online and entered these comments on Google about his current vacation.

"We are a family of four and are presently staying in #1004. The condo is nice and spacious for our family. Being able to prepare our own meals in the full size kitchen cuts down on cost and allows us to enjoy our vacation. The condo is conveniently located, beautifully decorated which feels like home, and contains the items needed for a great stay. The amenities are great. The beaches and pool are nice and clean and the staff is courteous. We are having a wonderful time.‎"

I thanked James for the nice comments and told him to enjoy his stay. I failed to tell him I probable will check-in behind him for a short short vacation. My wife and I plan to attend that free concert on Sunday. Here is more information about the concert from the Destin Log.

Destin Pelican Beach Resort VRBO Calls While On Beach

I know VRBO recommends an immediate response when replying to inquiries about renting my Destin Beach Condo. However, it seems that every time I am on the beach, I get a call on my VRBO advertisement.

I try to respond pretty promptly but told this lady today it would take me an hour or so to get back online to check my calendar. If you are reading this post, you can check the calendar over on the left for availability.

Today the beach is perfect and the water warm but lots of algae floating in the water.
We were expecting a tropical storm to move in late tonight but it appears the system came apart and only rain and wind coming in later tonight. By Monday the weather should be out of here and a return to sunny skies(like today).

We only have a short time left on our vacation here at Destin's Pelican Beach Resort.

Gulf oil Leak No Longer Leaking

About 2:45 central time the oil stopped leaking into the gulf of Mexico. I know people across the country are cheering this latest effort to stop the oil leak.

Lets continue to pray that this continues and they get the oil spill slicks cleaned up. I told my Realtor in Destin Florida that this is sure to get the phones ringing again. I know it has affected the summer vacation rental season as well as devastated many livelihoods in that region.

The operators are standing by at the Destin Pelican Beach Resort to take your calls and help you slip in that last minute Florida vacation. My family and I will be there on Monday for the entire week next week. Maybe we will see you there!

Late Summer Surge Headed to the Destin Beaches

Over the last week I have talked to several families here in Dyersburg,Tn who are headed to Destin and the beach beginning this weekend.

I have a house listed for a client who told me he was headed out of town this weekend for vacation and I asked him where he was headed and he said Destin. I told him we would just meet up there as I am headed there also.

I had a friend text me last night asking about availability of my unit #1004 at the Destin Pelican Beach Resort. I told her another renter checks in tomorrow and then my family on Monday followed by some nurses in Memphis who will finish out the month's rentals. I also told her I can recommend several other condos at the Pelican that are available in last part of July.

If you are trying to get out of town for a short vacation to Destin, let me help you book a beautiful beachfront condo at the Pelican Beach Resort Destin.

Fabulous Destin Florida Vacation

Guy Hansford just called me this morning to tell me this was a dream Florida vacation come true. I wrote about the Hansfords in my last post. They are on day 4 of a 6 day vacation.

Guy told me the beach and water at Destin is just beautiful. The weather has been perfect as well. He said it is not too crowded but there are several families vacationing at the Destin Pelican Beach Resort.

Guy went on to say how beautiful our unit 1004 is and how much they appreciate being able to stay in our unit and at the Pelican Beach Resort Destin. The Hansford family are some of our closest friends here in west Tennessee. The Hansfords check out Thursday and another family checks in on Thursday for 3 nights then my family checks in on Sunday for about a week.

We still have a few days open this summer if you would like to rent our Destin beach condo. Just call or text me at 731-589-7841.

1st Vacation In Long Time And Staying At Destin's Pelican Beach Resort

Some close friends(like family) have traveled to Destin yesterday to begin a long awaited vacation at the Destin Pelican Beach Resort.

The Hansfords have not had a real vacation for several years. What a better place than the beach and Pelican Beach Resort to have a long awaited vacation! Guy, Kathy, Ali and Conner, I know your vacation will be fabulous.

From the information I have received, many have canceled their Destin trip because of the oil scare. As of today, our beach is completely oil free with no signs of the oil.The Destin beaches are not crowded and what a better time than now to travel to Florida for a family vacation.

It is not too late to book your summer trip to the beach. The Pelican Beach reservation number is 850-654-1425. Give them my booking code A1080 and tell them you would like to stay in #1004 directly on the beach or if my unit is booked then book another deluxe plus like mine(#1005 is also deluxe plus).

Destin Oil Spill Update

The beaches at Pelican Beach Resort in Destin Florida sure aren't an indication of a major oil spill or at least not yet. On two different occasions scattered nickel sized tarballs wsshed up on shore, yet because of the expediancy of the clean up crews the balls were quickly removed leaving the beaches as clean and pristine as before. I have such a passion for the beautiful white sugary beaches in Destin. I have spend the last 30 years enjoying Destin's beaches and have never once been disappointed. Sure there have been rainy days, days that the beach may have been a little crowded, days when a cold front came through, but due to my love for the beach that was ok.

Destin has really developed in the last 10 years. There are a lot of condos, restaurants, shopping areas, and activities for the entire family and yet if its solitude you're needing, like myself, then the beach is the daily place for you. Unplugging myself, watching each wave wash up to shore and feeling the soft sand between my toes is the healthly life for me. It's the greatest R&R.

After many years of longing for my own place to call home for several months a year I purchased my own little piece of beach front. I can't tell you how exciting this was to finally have a dream come to fruition. Pelican Beach Resort 1004 can be your home away from home too. PBR 1004 has been totally redecorated to make your stay a very special one. If you would like to rent PBR 1004 you may contact me personally at 731-589-7841 or contact The Pelican Beach Resort at 888-735-4226 and give booking
code number A1080.
