"Great for family of 3!
It was great for us with a 3 year old! The bunk beds with tvs were a hit when we were trying to get ready and kept her busy! Overal a great place that’s not too overly busy! "

"Pelican Isle 315
Pelican Isle is in a great location overlooking the beach. PI 315 did not have window covering on the balcony door which was un-nerving when it got dark. A coffee table would have been nice and useful. There is only the one couch and no other seating except for the dining table chairs. The kitchen cabinets and countertop are worn. The chairs on the balcony were the plastic Adirondack chairs which are uncomfortable but at least they had cushions. I used a cushion behind my back when I sat out there."

"Restful retreat
My daughter and I came for a for not stay, and were very pleased with the accommodations. The weather was not great, but that is totally out of your control, but we took advantage of the rainy times to take a nap and took advantage of the sun when it did come out. But as far as the apartment or the condo, it was great. "

The unit was clean but very sparse on furniture. Only had one sofa with no other furniture. There is no curtain on the balcony window. Kitchen dishes were only for four people. Owner needs to update."

"Love Pelican isle, but not unit 315.
We love pelican isle and have stayed here many times, just not in unit 315.
There is barely any seating in the living area.
Barely any dishes/silverware in the kitchen.
No curtains or blinds in the living area & no curtains in the bedroom.
These are all things that all the other condos we’ve stayed in had every time. Just some suggestions for you all to give to the condo owners.
We will stay at Pelican isle again, just not in 315 ��"

"Great spot, 315 needs attention
We have been going to this area for 30+ years. I love the location and the great beaches. Pelican Isle is great - right on the beach. Unit 315, however, could use a little more attention. I know this as a direct comparison to 3 other units that my family rented at the same time. First (and probably most important), it needed cleaned when we arrived. There was literally still toothpaste on the faucet from the previous guest. Second, this unit lacked curtains. While this might seem okay ocean front, it’s not great when all the night beach goers get a clear view in or if someone is sleeping on the foldout couch. Last, the place could use more seating and perhaps a coffee or end table to bring it on par with other units. Make no mistake; I will return, I just might choose a different unit the next time I visit. "

"Terrible
When you rent it says 4-10 but when they send the paperwork it says it could be 6 for checkout. When I called the lady was rude and told me to read the paperwork. I told her it should be in initial rental."

"Nice Place
We enjoyed our stay at Pelican Isle R315. The condominium was coinvent. In a great location. Pool and Hot tub were nice. Loved the access to the beach chairs with our stay. It helped not having to carry so much to the beach. The Condo was somewhat clean when we arrived. The bed sheets were not washed. There was sand all in the beds. Including the bunk beds. There was not a broom in the condo for us to use during our stay. Would have helped to keep things clean. Overall, nice place to stay."

"Pelican Isle 315
We have stayed on Okaloosa Island several times, but I think this unit needs a few things:
Only 3 people can sit in the living area, unless you want someone to sit at a hard chair or on a bar stool. It sleeps 6 but only 3 can sit comfortable. We ended up moving some of the outdoor patio chairs into the living room so we could sit together. One of the bar stools is pretty wobbly so we didn't sit on it at all.
The room is in desperate need of some window coverings too.
My son slept on the sofa because the ladder to the top bunk was not very stable. The top rail moves around so you can't use it as any type of brace to get into the top bunk.
One of the comments my son said was the (stocked kitchen) looks like grandma's kitchen because the (few) plates don't match and the silverware doesn't match either.
The worse part for us was a previous renter put two dirty pots back into the cabinet. So when we pulled out the skillets there were eggs crusted on them. Once we saw that, we ended up putting all of the plates, bowls, cups and silverware in the dishwasher before we even used any of it. Not a great way to start your vacation. There was also a bottle/sippy cup (with curdled milk) and a snack bag underneath the master bed. I know we all pay cleaning fees for condos, but I think the cleaning crews need do a better job at checking the status of the entire condo, even if items are already put away. Plus checking underneath beds and tables is a must.
On a positive note - I will say that the people at Brooks and Shorey were very quick to reply to my issues. The toaster was broken when we got there and they ended up bringing us a brand new one. Much appreciated especially since we weren't planning on using the dirty skillets.
I think with a little work and a little bit of money put into this condo, it could be very nice. It's just time to spend a little money on it. The location right on the b"

"Pelican isle 315
Location was great. Beach chair and umbrella service was great! Condo was good but there was a couple of things that are needed: an accent chair in living room. There is inly a couch so anyone else has to sit on dining chairs or bar stools. There is enough room for an addition easy chair. The couch is a pullout bed and there is no kind of window covering for the sliding door. If the couch is used as a bed it would be very difficult to sleep after it becomes light. The view and balcony is great. Kitchen is nicely stocked. We enjoyed our stay very much. We did go on a snorkel excursion— would pass on it again and we did a dolphin excursion which was okay— i know its difficult based kn the dolphins.. however we went in one in oct and it was amazing. Inwould stay here again bc it was just my husband and I. "

"Great view and location
Pelican Isle unit 315 is a nice little space. However, having no curtains in the unit was a bit unsettling at night due to this unit being on the 3rd floor the 'crab hunters' at night can see straight in and for anyone sleeping on the bunks or on the pull out couch it is incredibly bright, It's pretty bright in the bedroom also with the outside lights shinning all night, but the bed is SO comfortable. The kitchen IS stocked with almost everything you might need, non stick skillets would be a nice addition and the toaster could stand to be replaced, sometimes your bread gets stuck lol. Did I mention, the master bed is SO comfortable ! The couch pull out bed is pretty comfortable too. There is a bit of a urine smell in the master bathroom that's pretty unpleasant. Maybe arm bands would be a good idea for the pool/bathroom area due to the amount of people coming in and taking over the pool area that apparently do not belong to Pelican Isle is ridiculous. Two rather large families completely took over the area for 2 days while we were there, they also rigged the bathroom doors so they had access (we watched them walk out and go the condo's in front of Pelican Isle when the pool closed so we assumed that is where they were staying). Also, the new No smoking policy apparently doesn't apply to the marijuana smokers only to cigarette smokers. Also, I have to say that I have never been so disappointed in the amount of people who just threw their trash on the beach and the parents who let their kids dig GIANT holes in the sand and just leave it unfilled when they left (we filled in several holes left by others and picked up a ridiculous amount of trash left by others), so just an FYI, be extremely careful at night while out crab hunting. OH and FYI, the elevators got stuck on several occasions while we there...All in all, the unit itself is a nice place to stay, I just think next time we'll search out a unit with curtains.... "

Beautiful condo. Loved that the decor wasn't overpowering and cluttered. We also love that the drapes have been removed from the balcony doors. We will definitely stay here again."

"Meh
It's 'fine.'
In what world is a lack of window covering an asset? If this unit sleeps 6, how can you sleep with no covering on the windows? Coffee table would be nice as would an accent chair or recliner. Again, "sleeps six?" where do they all sit?
At least there were 6 plates. SIX!
Part of the blame falls on Brooks and Shorey. If I am to pay the same price regardless of the unit, I should be able to expect the same amenities, furnishings and comfort level. I have stayed in much nicer units in this building and was charged the same.
Would not recommend. "

"Very disappointed!
First of all,my son let the couch out to go to bed and dirty linens was still on it all balled up!Second coolest it got in our condo during our stay was 75 degrees.Third the ice maker quit making ice and it sounded like water was running all the time for 3 of our days.Repair guy came,we got ice but it still made the running water sound(very annoying).Fourth,we found chips on our bedroom floor.Fifth,the ladder to the bump beds had homemade latches that had worn out holes and didn't latch property and my grandson fell.Sixth,one bar stool was so weak no one could sit on it.We only had a couch so a couple of us always had to sit on those hard chairs at the table(very far the worst unit we've ever had out of all the years we've been staying at Pelican Island!"

We had a pleasant stay in this condo. It was just as described. Well stocked and clean. This unit is directly over the pool.

"Traveling with 3 under 10
I love the location, place and the views. They make it very easy to check in and out. The only problem that I had that made the trip horrible was smoking on the balcony. It was unbearable you couldn't sit out there and enjoy the ocean because all you could smell was people smoking not just cigarettes but weed too. It didn't matter if it was 5am or 11pm it was 24 hours. It was bad."

"Perfect Family Vacation
We absolutely loved this condo and property. The location was amazing and the beach was beautiful with white clean sand. It was never super crowded and chairs and umbrellas are set up daily to use. If you get tired of the beach, the heated pool is available and great for all ages. We vacationed with our children 9 and 2 and the condo was perfect. There is ample room to sleep and the kids loved the bunkbed. The unit was very clean and updated and had a beautiful view of the ocean and white sandy beach. The in unit laundry was perfect as well. We were so sad to leave but we look forward to coming again next year!"

This was our first stay on Okaloosa Island. Brooks and Shorey was highly recommended by our son. He made our reservation and we were set. Check in and check out was so easy. Everything was online or in the app. The room was keyless entry (keypad) so there’s no need to keep up with a physical key. The room was spotless. There was plenty of space for us to relax the several days we were there. The view was excellent. The beach was perfect. We cannot wait to make a return trip to Okaloosa Island again. We will definitely be using B&S when we come back!"

"A wonderful stay!
Pelican Isle, Unit 315. We booked a last minute trip and it was easy to reserve online. Information was sent in a timely manner and the app was great with information about checking in etc.
The condo was very clean and the view was amazing. The only thing I would recommend are a few more mugs, glasses and cutlery. Easy access to the beach and pool. The beach toys and floats from the sand library were a great addition. The extras from Brooks and Shorey were an added bonus. We took advantage of the free movie rental and ticket for the dolphin cruise.
The condo is situated on the far end of the isle so it is quiet, but a few minutes drive will take you to the Boardwalk, pier and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again."

Pelican Isle is a great location. Smack dab right on the white sands beach. Pool right below - best of both worlds. But PLEASE don't heat the pool in the summer.

"Great View, Great Condo, Wonderful time!
The condo itself was wonderful. Was very clean and well maintained, fully stocked kitchen (equipment/utensils), very spacious, lots of room for our family of 4. WiFi was strong in most areas. The kids LOVED the bunk beds and each had their own individual tv/dvd to relax by. The view from the balcony was superb, nothing but sand and water! The walk from the front door to the beach was 5 minutes, if you took your time. The condo is right on the beach!
Check in/out was a breeze.
My only complaint would be the Xplorie experience. Xplorie is the company that manages the free passes to various attractions, which are included in the stay. All we really wanted was to book the dolphin/snorkel cruise. Was a huge hassle, and took 4 different phone calls, and a call back from a manager to make it happen. Each phone call was a different rep, and each rep had different information. Seemed very unorganized. We went from being told that the Sea Blaster cruise was fully booked during our stay, to the Sea Blaster boats were out of service, to us possibly being able to have a spot but they weren't sure. Ultimately we ended up being booked on another dolphin/snorkel ship, The Cattywampus. I will say that the Cattywampus and crew were amazing, we had a wonderful time! There were only about 25 passengers on board, as opposed to the 150+ that would have been on the Sea Blaster. (We passed one on our cruise, so much for the theory that they were “out of service”). At one point the Cattywampus Captain actually stopped, turned the ship around, and had his Mate fish my son’s brand new hat (which had blown off) out of the ocean. Snorkeling was awesome. My boys had gathered quite a collection of hermit crabs from the ocean floor! We saw several dolphins as well. But even availability on the Cattywampus was minimal. I wouldn't count on the promise of "1 free adult pass/per day to be valid, just due to the hassle of scheduling and the lack of availability "

"Loved our stay! Very clean and comfortable!
We found everything to be in good working condition and the location was excellent. It was heaven to wake up to that view every morning! Very nice to have the washer/dryer available. Beds were very comfortable. Hot water was plentiful. Unit was not ready on check in day until about 5:45 PM. We arrived about 4:45 and the person at the check in desk was kind enough to give us the codes to the bathrooms by the pool so we could change and be on the beach until we received the call that our unit was ready! If you have kids, there were some beach toys in a basket under the bunk beds. A large selection of DVDs for rain time. Out of the way from the general Destin area traffic but close enough to go there if you want. Really not within walking distance of anything, however, so a car or Uber is a necessity. Several kids in the unit next to ours but we didn't hear them at any time other than when they were coming or going from their unit. Unit is right above the pool area but noise was minimal due to heavy duty sliding glass doors. Bring a flashlight and chairs if you plan to be on the beach after dark. "

"A desired home away from home
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pelican Isle 315. There were a couple of small issues but nothing that would hinder our stay there. The place was clean and ready for us before the 4:00 check in time. I was impressed that they called us to let us know that we could check in early. The view was beautiful. The issues: 1) there was only one elevator working for our entire stay which made the wait time frustrating 2) the room didn't cool quick enough, and 3) on the morning of check out, we couldn't get cold water in shower. It was scorching hot. Outside of those issues, we enjoyed our time in Florida. There are a ton of things to do in Destin (6 miles away) and would definitely take a second or third trip to see it all. We parasailed and jet skied at Gilligan's which I highly recommend (crab island is pretty cool). Mcquire's is a must and grocery shop at Winn-Dixie, not Publix (too expensive). Harborwalk and Boardwalk were both wonderful. For an occasional breakfast, the Donut Hole is a great place to go. We look forward to coming back. "

We were notified upon check in that our washer was out in our condo and they had ordered a new one but probably wouldn't be fixed during our stay. We were offered to wash our clothes later in the week in another room but the time frame didn't work out. I understand things happen and can't always be fixed and we were offered another room to wash our clothes but it would have interrupted our beach time or whatever we were doing that day to have to wait around and wash our clothes in another room. All in all we made the best of it beings that my daughter hated the sand. Mcguire's Irish Pub is a must, food was great and atmosphere was good, our best meal during our stay."

have stayed many units at pelican isle since it was built in 2003. this particular unit was the worst I have been in. the pictures do not do justice. furniture on balcony was old,torn and hurt your back after 5 min. the kitchen utensils were lacking, old, cheap and wore out. there were settings for only four and this was a hodgpodge and mix of stuff. the tile floors turned everyones feet black if you were barefooted. they looked clean but something was going on. the headboard in the bedroom is so flimsy we had to put a pillow between it and the wall to keep it from banging every time you moved. the staff at brookes and shorey were great and this review should not reflect on them or pelican isle resort.

For a unit that was supposed to have been cleaned before we arrived, the floors were pretty bad. Sheets were clean, dishes clean in cupboards, and bathrooms were clean. But the floors were not only sandy, they were dirty! I understand I'm at a beach and there will be sand but I don't think the unit was vacuumed or even swept before we came. Baseboards were grimy and the floor by all baseboards and inside of the closet had sand, grime and dust. For a place that costs over $300/night AND requires a cleaning fee no less, I expect it to be spotless! The location and beach were great. "

The only negative we can give is that the dishwasher was not working. Other than that everything was great.
There is a Tom Thumb less than a mile away, but if you want to do real shopping you need to go into town which is about 3 or 4 miles. This does make the location nice and quiet, but you can't walk somewhere for a coffee."

"good value in off season
this property is mainly suitable for a couple-it is one bedroom with two bunk beds in the hallway that might work for younger children-the furniture was not comfortable-the balcony chairs need new cushions-there are no towel bars in the bathrooms-there are no lights by the outside doorway so it is impossible to see the keypad for the code at night without a flashlight on your phone-this property was ok for off season but doubt I would pay the summer prices for it-this unit needs some updating-the location is good at the end of the island-not the fault of the condo but beware that fall break is in October for many states which we weren't aware of so the complex was quite crowded with children which was not what we were looking for in October for an adult vacation-I think the condo complex should make people aware of that-I would not travel to this area again in October"

Nice relaxing vacation in a beautiful clean condo. Condo furnishings were just as described on website. Staff friendly and helpful. Have stayed at this complex before and will definitely return. Great ocean view from balcony!"

Loved everything about the condo except towel rack needed to be replaced and closet was full of unneeded blankets and pillows. Storage space is at a premium"

We have stayed at Pelican idle several times and this was one of the nicest condos we have rented. The whole complex is well kept and the management is professional. We enjoy this quiet end of the island."

"pelican isle 315 experience
There are only 2 things the attendant neglected to do. First that there was a shower next to pool to rinse sand off after returning to beach & she forgot to give us our welcome bag. Otherwise we had a lovely experience there in paradise! "

"loved watching the waves, great view
loved being close to the ocean, I sat out on the balcony a lot listening to the waves. unfortunately we had to check out early and return home as my dad had a stroke. it is over the pool area and at times it was a little noisey but not enough to discourage anyone from staying. it had a great view. hope to return next year. we didn't venture out in ocean much as we were under red flag the entire time there. only drawback might be not having any restaurants close by to walk to but we fixed meals in room or ordered out pizza a couple times.

"Definitely a Budget Vacation Rental
The place was exactly as shown in pics. Beach was gorgeous and pristine. Powdery white sand. Great amenities like chair and umbrella service, beach front, free movie rentals, free wifi. If you are looking to have up to 6 people in one condo for a good price, this is a good option.
However, you are getting a "bargain". The couch was dampish, ripped, pullout was highly uncomfortable and just needs to be replaced. The floor was so dirty it turned our feet BLACK within minutes. My husband pulled the rug outside to shake it out and I'm pretty sure it was the first time it'd been done in months, maybe longer.
To be fair, they came up and cleaned our floors after we complained and were very nice to book with, communicate with, and deal with overall. But during our stay, the staff wasn't super knowledgeable about the area or able to answer many of our questions about what to do or where to go when the beach was unswimmable due to a rip tide that lasted for 5 of our 7 day stay :(
Overall, I would still recommend for those who want Destin for a deal. Worth the money."

"One night emergency unit stay
We only stayed in this unit one night from 7 pm to 9 am because it was the emergency unit. The air conditioner was out in our unit 107. This unit was in a lot better condition than the unit we rented. I wished we could have stayed in this unit. We were told we could not stay due to someone else coming in the following day."

"Overall great place!
Great view, great quiet beach and we very much enjoyed the condo. My only complaint would be the DVD on top bunk wouldn't work, which made bedtime difficult for toddlers who are used to watching a movie. Also the condo came with a DVD card for fee rentals, but no one told us the DVD machine was broken. That would have been nice to know so we could have packed a few. That's not the owners' fault though. The condo itself is cute and tasteful and we had everything we needed! Its iver rhebpool area so yiu can see the poil/hot tub and the beautiful beach. Perfect for us and our 2 toddlers!"

"You Will Love Ocaloosa Island and the View from Pelican Isle
We had stayed at Pelican Isle before and are pleased with its location, staff, and amenities. We did stay in a different unit this time and I have to say that the furniture is needing to be cleaned or replaced. Also, the ice maker in the unit did not work. We reported this and were told a part would be ordered. I really don't think its not working was a surprise because there were several ice trays conveniently in the unit for use. All worked out fine. The walkway to the beach had been replaced since last year and had far too many steps for my handicapped daughter, but access is available at the other end of the units. None of these small things would keep me from staying here again. The water is beautiful and dolphins swim by daily. It is a quiet setting but still convenient to all kinds of activities. Free beach chairs and other amenities are great!"

"Wonderful Accomodations!!!
Wonderful stay. Had everything we expected and more. Room was clean and well decorated. There was no outside noise or too much light coming in the bedroom window in the mornings. We had two adults and 4 children, the bunk beds with individual tvs were a selling point for us. Thanks for a very memorable stay!!!!!"

"Southern Winter
Unit # 315 does need some updating. The couch cushions have broken zippers (Stuffing is coming out!) The armchair has worn out fabric on the arms & needs to be cleaned badly. The kitchen dining room chairs are literally falling apart & the seat cushions are badly stained. Bed mattress is not the most comfortable...probably could be replaced. There is a shortage of some silverware. There are no sharp knives....The staff was very friendly & helpful. Suggestion....the building should have some kind of security in the evenings beginning March 1st. The spring breakers seem to abuse the pool & hot tub area late into the evening not following any of the pool/hot tub rules!.............Thank You"

"Didn't want to leave..
It was a beautiful, relaxing view & the condo was decorated beautifully. We didn't want to come back home. The only thing that could be fixed easily was the lobby & weight room lobby, It smelled very strong with an air freshener, a lot overpowering..Other than that it was perfect!"

"Good condo but could be great with a few easy changes
As much as I enjoyed this condo (perfect location above pool and great beach view) there were little things that were really irritating. I've stayed in many condos but never in one where there are no paper towels, no dish soap, no Kleenex, and no shampoo. Come on guys, do you really want people to have to buy paper towels EVERY time and then you just take the 80% unused portion home. It leaves a very bad taste in someone's mouth and makes you penny wise and pound foolish."

"PERFECT
This is our 3rd or 4th stay at Pelican Isle. We always stay in room 315. It's still as wonderful as the 1st time we stayed there. Your staff is excellent. They are so personable and glad to help us. The cleaning service is wonderful. The building, surroundings,
and lobby present a perfect environment. We love the beach front property. I have recommended you, our room number, and the number of years we've been to all my friends and family. My daughter, her husband and their friends will probably come next year rather
than going to the carribean. Thank you for continuing to give us our best vacation!"

The condo was great, clean, cozy and cute decorations, only request is to replace the mattress on the master bed, it was very hard. Kids loved the TV;s in each bunk. The pool could use shade around for parents. There was only one umbrella, not nearly enough."

"Review of Pelican Isle unit 315
The gulf was stunning! Made some great friends, the beach service was great! Wouldn't stay here again b/c there was no storage in the unit, no counter space in baths, poorly stocked kitchen, and very worn-out bed in Master. Place was clean, though, and had plenty of towels & w/d detergent. Pool was a comfy temp and the hot tub was great. Liked being towards the end of the line of condos. Very quiet, close to long stretch of empty beach, but also very close to many activities and restaurants. "

"Pelican Isle Room 315
Condo was clean but mattress needs to be replaced. Recommend that a coffee pot with a timer replace the old coffee pot.
Door to patio was very hard to lock.
Found human feces floating in the pool and reported to the front desk!!

"Loved the decor in this unit. Great view of beach; this time of year was really quiet.
Only one thing, wasn't used to spring mattress, it was alittle too hard but still went to sleep from wearing ourselves out at the beach. Everything else about the condo was available and in good shape. Would recommend this unit and complex to friends. Was great having a Publix just down the road for items we didn't want to bring. Staff was very pleasant and knowlegable about the area. "

The property and view is breathtaking. The condo was tastefully decorated and blended with the beach theme. I also enjoyed the pool and spa. My bedspread was dirty however once I brought it to their attention, the property management had it dry cleaned right away. I would definitely stay at the Pelican Isle again. I felt like I was at home."

"Fixes to the condominium
Thanks for the stay it was great!
Need you to know some fixes:
1. Pull out bed in the coach is aweful! Mattress is old, and bad...and one cushion has a zipper gone bad.
2. The ladder leading to the top bunk will not stay locked. My baby girl ALMOST HURT HERSELF!
3. and last, sticky lock to outside balcony.
EVERYTHING ELSE WAS PERFECT! THANKS!!!"

Floors were sandy, bunk beds were unmade, master bed needed clean sheet replacements, toaster did not work, lights in 2nd bath did not work, balcony was dirty.

We really enjoyed our stay. The only problem we had was finding a family friendly place to eat. It was the middle of January and serveral places were not open, which we expected but even so we didn't see many places that we would be able take our 3 year old to eat. Other wise we had a wounderful trip. "

"Best Vacation that we ever had
we had so much fun there that we left there knowing that we would be back next spring. the best thing is that this time we will come back knowing exactly where we will be staying. I recomend it to anyone that wants to have a vacation that is care free. We did not have to worry about anything, except where we were going to eat that night. "

"Too short
The only negative I would have is that I requested another night prior to leaving town and the rep stated that the unit was not available. We wanted to check in on Thurs instead of Fri. So when we arrived in Ft Walton, we had to stay at the fairway inn (Dump) we got up early on Fri am not expecting to get into the unit because it was occupied on Thurs. Well suprise suprise, the unit was empty and we went straight on in around 9 am. Don't think the cleaning service would have had time to clean up the unit and get back with Brooks in order for us to get in that early. Otherwise the unit was gorgeous, the beach was awesome and the ammenities were good."

"Great Stay!
The location of the Condo and the cleanliness of the property were both a major plus for us. The beach access with chairs and umbrellas was great. The only thing I was not prepared for was that there was no dishwashing soap for the sink or diswasher and no soap for the washing machine. A couple of one time use type of packets would have been nice. But other than that very small issue we had a blast!! We'll be back!"
