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).

Oil Spill Location For Early - Mid July

I just got on the geoplatform government site and plugged in the date of July 9, 2010 in search for the projected oil slick location in the Gulf of Mexico.

This seems to reflect what we have been hearing that the slick has been pushing more to the west and has even hit the Texas coast.

Now would be a good time to book your summer vacation to Destin and the Pelican Beach Resort. My phone number is 731-589-7841.

Handicap Condos At Destin Pelican Beach Resort

I had a friend from church Sunday ask me about handicap units at Destin's Pelican Beach Resort. I told her I only knew of one unit totally handicap accessible and that one is at the Terrace Building(at the resort but not on the beach). I wrote a earlier post about handicap units at the Pelican Beach Resort Destin.

I just called the Pelican Beach Resort(850-654-1425) to check on availability of that one unit(#102) and they told me it has a long term renter in there so is not available anytime soon. I also found out that several 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom units are available in the Pelican Building(on the beach) that are almost as handicap accessible. They have wider exterior doors and interior doors that are 34" wide. Their guest bathrooms(in hallways) all have walk-in showers with grab bars. Please confirm all this information before booking one of these units.

The 2 bedroom units are 414,418,518,616,618,718 and 816.
The one bedroom units are 104,204,407 and 408.

If this information is helpful, please use my booking code A1080 when you book your vacation.

Destin Beaches Status As Of July 5, 2010

I received an e-mail from the Destin Pelican Beach Resort management company concerning the beaches in Destin Florida. Here is a link to information and pictures of the beaches in and near Destin.

According to the information on the Pelican site, favorable winds have really helped Destin beaches escape the main effects of the gulf oil spill. As of July 5(today) there is no oil washing ashore in Destin and only a couple of instances of small tar bars which were quickly removed.

My Destin condo on the beach continues to stay rented mainly because I reassure everyone that they have no way to lose money if oil did come ashore(complete refund for unused portion of their reservation).

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.
