"Relaxing!
It was a perfect place to spend a couple of days away. The condo was accommodating. The only sad thing was that my bedroom did not face the ocean. But overall, it was a great place to stay."

"Pelican isle 402
The room was very nice. Bed was quite comfortable. Just know that the bedroom is by the walkway. One night we were woken up by people slamming their doors. Otherwise, no issues. The balcony furniture was not very good. All in all a nice room and good value."

"Vacay starting April 21st
We had a very lovely vacation. The condo was very nice and clean; good value for the money. And we loved the whole Destin/Okaloosa Island area. The only negative was the large group in Unit 401 (8 adults/5 children)."

"Love FWB
Our rental unit in Pelican Isle was very clean. I would eliminate the fake flower arrangements - they are dust collectors. Also, bring your own hangers as there were no hangers in the closet! Other than that, the condo was fine. Pelican Isle Mgmt needs to fix the elevator - maybe it's fixed now but the entire week we were there, it was out of commission leaving only 1 elevator."

"Just "So So"
Unit was just OK. As far as deco. Too many issues with TVs not working, Sofa bed would not open out and under the mattress of it was very dirty. And the cable was a mess! On a good note The property of Pelican Isl, the Beach and weather were great. Also, smoking areas were not marked with a sign nor were they communicated in any emails. We followed the rules of smoking but then saw people smoking on balconies and even teenagers smoking in the elevator. For the amount of monies paid Unit was just not worth it. We feel at least a one night's refund should be given due to unit malfunctions."

"Pelican Isle Okaloosa Island August 2021
The vacation rental was exactly how pictured. The location was fantastic. Very quiet and peaceful. The condo was clean and provided everything they stated. Of I had any questions at all, Brooks and Shorey was very prompt, and professional. I would recommend to stay again and would love to stay again in the future. "

"Not as expected
Furniture was in poor condition. Bugs in the unit. Horrible sewerage smell at times when you used the shower. Generally unclean. People also snuck into the pool and beach who were not guests - it was very obvious as they changed into swimsuits on the beach. Disgusting."
Aug 15, 2021 - , New Orleans, LA
"We had a blast, but 402 needs some updates
We love the property and location. Brooks and Shorey are also great to work with. They were quick to address most issues. However, the last time we were there I don't think we had to call them once. Thus unit needs a little updatin.
For example the washing machine sounds like a jet engine when on spin cycle (can barely hear each other talk). Hopefully that will be addressed soon because otherwise a great place. "

"Much needed beach trip
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was as advertised, clean and organized. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony listening to the waves and everyone we encountered was super nice. Our kids LOVED the bunk beds with TVs. Bit of advice: Book any boat trips early because they fill up fast Thanks for a lovely stay."

"Good stay, not what we expected though.
The location of the condo is in a good part of the island. Traffic was minimum and even though it was starting spring break, the crowd seemed good for the area. The property description is misleading, a quiet area of the resort and condo location is not what we experienced. The location of the room was near a stairwell, it was quite noisy all hours of the stay. I know it is not the resorts fault but the people next to us in 401, were quite noisy, we had to ask for them to be quiet after midnight. The bedroom window gets light from the outside hallway which beside room 401 door and we needed to cover with a blanket. There were strong winds that whistled thru the stairwell and was very loud in our room. At the bottom of the stairwell, going out to the beach, had a foul smell, not sure of the reason. The carpet in our condo was old and stained in spots, we had a plugin air-fresher that was too strong, had to remove until we left. Would have been nice to have a safety handle in the bedroom shower, the other shower was nice. Patio door was hard to open, and once outside, several others were smoking on their patio's. The rest of the condo was good, some issues with paint and up keep but everything worked. I would say the condo was cleaned properly before arrival. Pictures in the add show a brand new condo, we did not experience a like new condo. 4 PM, checking became a joke, received an email saying it would be 6 PM, didn't get our call until 8:30 PM, didn't get a welcome pack with parking passes until the next day. Not a lot of help from management on our stay, there was an onsite attendant that didn't have clue, and when we called the Brooks and Shorey management, they seemed to help out with parking and such. The umbrella and chair attendant was very good, it was pleasant on the beach. We didn't use the pool or other free gifts, didn't feel like it was good to have only one per day and had to pay for another, especially since you get on free per day. "

"Great place to relax
We really enjoyed our stay and would like to return next year.
The condo was clean and the only reason i could not say spotless was the carpet in the living room needs to be replaced. Maybe a wood type floor would be best, not carpet."

"Fall vacation
Other than the carpet our unit was clean. I’m not saying the carpet was dirty, just stained. It was a great size for the two of us. We loved having the beach service included!! The view was fantastic!! This was our visit to FWB... it will not be our last! Shout out to 2 restaurants: McGuires Irish Pub, and Ole Times Buffet!! "

"Gordon - need I say more?
The condo was fine, but it was not a good time for the beach, not your fault, though. I did take a shower one day in the master bath with the door open, and the smoke alarm went off, wasn't a very "hot" shower, so not sure why it went off, just wanted to report. A plug behind bed on right side, one outlet didn't work and one didn't work in kitchen, no big deal, we had others to use."

"Very good place to stay!
Took my daughter and my 4 grandchildren to Florida and stayed here. Condo was neat and clean, well stocked and right on the beach. Had to call maintenance once, they came right away and fixed our problem. the beach was beautiful and not crowded."

"Great getaway!
Pelican Isle was a great location for our first visit to the panhandle. We were close to restaurants but not in the midst of traffic. The condo was clean and efficient and comfortable. The complimentary beach chairs an umbrella meant we didn’t have to lug all that back and forth. We will definitely choose pelican isle again!"

"The perfect beach condo
We were a party of four from Oregon, N. Carolina and Texas here to visit a loved one in rehab hospital. Physical, not drugs. After our daily visits this condo was a great place to relax and rest.

"Long Weekend At Da Beach
Very Good."
Nov 07, 2017 - , Baton Rouge, LA
"Awesome Getaway
We stayed in our unit for 5 nights and loved it!!! The beach was awesome and the water was crystal clear. We used our beach chairs everyday and LOVED having them. Wished the foot washing station was a little closer to where you come off the beach. But, if all you have with you is a towel, it's fine. The pool and Hot tub were wonderful.
Our unit was great. Had everything we needed in it. And a well stocked supply of towels. :-) The bed was comfortable. The living room furniture was just okay. Rocker cushion wasn't cushy anymore and the sofa was so/so. But who spends much time in the room anyway!
McGuire's restaurant is a must! We ended up there 4 times. Sunday brunch...Awesome!! Lunch specials were WONDERFUL! The Crab Shack was very good too. And the Rockin' Taco Nachos...SUPER! They are split-able for dinner."

"August 2017 Vacation
The location is great and the beach is private. There was not a lot of noise at night and the sounds of the waves crashing from the balcony was very relaxing."

Pelican Isle is a wonderful property, good location, easy access to beach, nice pool and hot tub. Condo is great with a soaker tub in the unit we rented. Will be staying with them again"

"Awesome Condo
This place was great for my family of 5. More lovely than the pictures. I can't even name my favorite things, but having two bathrooms and laundry in the condo as well as a great kitchen are worth mentioning. And beach chair setup was a perfect addition."

"dissapointing
Neighbors slamming doors at 5am. Upstairs neighbors stomping feet the entire time & made it hard to sleep even for a nap. The sofa sleeper was hard as a rock
One elevator working on a holiday weekend not to mention the fire alarms going off & someone hammering & banging due to construction. The internet was not working due to a cheep electrical outlet strip. The condo was clean & staff at front desk was very sweet. All in all, for what we paid for a 3 day stay for "Relaxing" vacation was a diddissapointment to say the least. "

The unit was clean and well stocked. There were plenty of bath towels which I appreciate. A/c worked great. Kids loved the bunk beds with tvs."

"Great family fun
Our unit was great! We enjoyed our stay very much. The king size bed and pillows were very comfortable. My daughter enjoyed the bunk beds with her own tv. We enjoyed the dolphin cruise and free movie rentals at night located in the lobby. This unit was very well maintained we had all the kitchen utensils we needed to make our meals.We enjoyed everything about this vacation rental. Only thing that would have made it better is if the bedroom would have had a ocean view."

"Spring Break 2017
I would definitely recommend Pelican Isle and Fort Walton to my friends and family. Brooks and Shorey's place at Pelican Isle was perfect for our family. It had everything we needed. It was very clean and the location was fantastic. I really felt that we got a very good bargain for the price. We will definitely be back. Thank you!"

"Again and again
We went WOW when we saw the ocean view and how close we were. The condo was perfect for us and had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen contained everything one needs to prepare a meal and some of the items were NEW. A friend told us about this place and she was definitely right to recommend it. Thank you so much and we will stay there again."

"Our Vacation Time at Pelican Isle
We had a very good rental experience. Even though we arrived a couple of hours prior to official check in, our unit was ready. It was clean and well equipped. All the necessities of home. Would pick this unit again. "
Nov 07, 2016 - , Bowling Green, KY
"Great stay for the price!
Upon arrival the condo was very muggy. The air filter needed changing and the front desk took care of it immediately. Minimal problem and the only one we experienced!!
For the price, the condo was great. Awesome view!!! The beaches weren't crowded since it's a smaller building.
The bunk beds are only ideal for smaller kids. My 7 year old slept on the top and hit her head multiple times. It was very difficult for her to get in and out.
Overall, I would highly recommend it for a small family. "

"Great stay!
We've stayed at several locations in condo's, not all were pleasant. This one (402) was the cleanest condo yet! Loved the location. Staff was very helpful and when we had a TV issue it was promptly taken care of.We will definitely be back and will try to get same condo."
Oct 01, 2016 - Tim H., Philadelphia, TN
"Beach Visit
Overall a very nice condo. Well furnished and all appliances were in good condition. The unit was on the eastern end of the building and away from the outdoor pool which made for a nice quiet location. Several of the light fixtures were either missing bulbs or were burned out. It took two days to get replacement light bulbs. Stocking spare light bulbs at the on site property management office would make it much easier to resolve this type of problem."

"Love Brooks and Shorey and this condo!
Our stay was excellent, as always. We've booked with brooks and shorey to this condo for 5 years in a row now. Love it! Friendly helpful staff, clean rooms beautiful view from the balcony. Our only teeny tiny issue was that the Clothes dryer did not dry clothes at all. "

"Great last minute Getaway
My wife & I enjoyed our stay very much. The property & the unit were as described on the site. Some folks might having restaurants & activites closer to the condo, we enjoyed the more secluded feel away from the busyness of Destin. The only thing that we would have changed, was to have more comfortable seating on the balcony, as we enjoy sitting on the patio throughout the day, but beyond that, we would most definitely stay again."
Jun 06, 2016 - Curt W., Hernando, MS
"Great Location and Property!
I wasn't sure what to expect, but everything was GREAT! The receptionist was super friendly, the condo was clean and had everything we needed. The view from the condo is BEAUTIFUL and the location of the resort is great! You're so close to Destin, yet you're on a side street so you can avoid the traffic. My husband and I loved the condo and the experience. I would definitely recommend and we hope to come back soon! "

"Annual October Trip
We have stayed at the Pelican Isle several times now in different units. Brooks & Shorey as always has been excellent. Barbara Ochal, is an excellent manager and the young girl that filled her shoes on the weekend always had a nice smile and a hello when I passed by the office. Our daughter and her family wants to come down with us next June. Barbara was more than willing to show us a 2 BR unit. "

"Fall break trip
I loved the location and the condo was clean and had all items we needed. I do wish there was a pantry and somewhere to put clothes for the person/persons staying in the bunk area. There was no storage and that made us feel cramped. The "first come first serve" beach chair deal was a big hassle. I spent 1.5 hours every day on beach 7-830 to get the chairs that we get with our condo. Other than that everything was perfect."

Sep 01, 2015 - Beth C., Little Rock, AR
"Nice Condo
The condo looks exactly like it does in the photos. It was very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed. The only problem we had was that the top bunk was very close to the ceiling and the bottom bunk did not have a lot of headroom, either. So, if you have big kids, they have to watch their heads. That being said, my daughters and I enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

"Fourth of July Getaway
From the time of arrival to our departure, everything was as described and more. We especially enjoyed the daily beach service. Even with the holiday, service was still beyond expectation. Property was clean, beds were comfortable and we would recommend to others. When we return to Fort Walton, we will stay at this property. The close proximity to the beach made it convenient each day and allowed us to view fireworks from the balcony. "
Jul 07, 2015 - Karen T., Houston, TX
"Great place on the beach!
There's not much negative to say about this place. We were running WAY behind schedule for arrival and called to let them know. They gave us our code so we didn't even have to bother with the box out front, which was a great relief for these weary travelers. The condo was super clean and literally steps from the beach. Everything was there (aside from food and more than two days worth of toilet paper/cleaning supplies) and organized. The location was great...not on the busy road at all. The only things that I can say were wrong was there needs to be a heavier curtain in the bedroom because of the light in the stairwell at night (we just hung a dark beach towel up), the door slamming from the next condo can be annoying ( but hey, you're on vacation..you need to get up early!) and the bedroom bathroom shower has a slow drain. Otherwise, we LOVED it. We would definitely stay here again."

"Wonderful Condo. Beautiful Beach. Peaceful.
I spent months looking online for a condo in Destin. We were in town for a wedding during the Memorial Day weekend and decided to make it a mini vacation and go down a few days before. It was our first vacation as a family of 3. Our son is 5 months old. I couldn't be more pleased with this rental property. The condo was beautiful and clean. I laid one of our blankets on the floor and let our baby nap in the living room. I wouldn't of done that if I felt the condo was dirty in any way. The view was amazing. We could see dolphins from our balcony! We were far enough from the "Destin" crowd that our beach felt like a private beach. The kitchen has everything you would need to cook so you don't have to eat out every meal. If you are like me, hunting for months for the perfect spot for your family.. STOP LOOKING AND STAY HERE. Don't stay in Destin. WAY too tourist-y and crowded. Again, we stayed the week before Memorial Day and left Sunday, the day before the holiday. You could tell the town/beach was getting crowded as the weekend holiday approached but during the week, the beach was empty. Just something to keep in mind when you go. We plan to return during the off season once our son is old enough to enjoy the beach and hope to stay in this same unit. "
May 30, 2015 - Ann W., Crawford, Georgia
"Great vacation!
We had a wonderful time in this unit. It was well appointed and the view was gorgeous. I guess the only "complaint" was that the bedroom is at the hall end of the unit instead of the beach side, which made it a little noisy early in the morning, but that is just a layout issue. The unit was very clean and the beach was awesome. Not too crowded and family friendly."

"Pelican Isle 402
We enjoyed our vacation at Pelican Isle unit 402. The unit was clean and the bathrooms were well equipped with plenty of towels. The kitchen was clean but lacked room for food storage. The beach was beautiful and having the umbrella and beach chairs everyday was great! The pool however was very small and right up on the condo, which we didn't really enjoy. But we prefer the beach over the pool anyway. Overall we had a good stay. "

This is our second stay at Pelican Isle renting through Brooks & Shorey. We have stayed in 2 different condos. We have had not issues either time. The condo was clean and we had beautiful view of the ocean. We stayed one week and were not ready o leave when it was time. HIGHLY recommend both Brooks & Shorey and Pelican Isle."

"Our week at the beach...
This was the 4th year in a row that we visited Pelican Isle. Overall, everything is nice and the beach service is very convenient. That being said.... Every year the rates have gone up. This year compared to last it was an increase of almost $500$. So it may be worth it to shop around....."

"A little home away from home
If your looking for a lovely beach without the crowds and traffic of Destin then look no further. My family and I really enjoyed our week at the Pelican Isle room 402. The condo was very clean, and the amenities were lovely. It had simple touches that made our stay all the more comfortable like the ceiling fan in the bedroom. It was amazing, the blades spun so fast that cooled the room as soon as it started spinning, but didn't shake. The washer and dryer made keeping beach towels and bathing suits clean and dry very convenient. Every night you could rent two movies for a good family time staying in. The condo also came with two beach chairs and an umbrella set up on the beach each morning. In order to get a good spot you have to get out there and place towel on your chairs by around 8:00 to 8:15 otherwise you're sitting on the back row. My husband went and did that every morning and then came back to the room for breakfast. No one ever messed with out stuff and we always felt safe. Each of these things can be found at most condos rentals, but at this condo they are provided free of charge. They don't nickel and dime you to death because they clearly value your comfort. There are several tasty restaurants near by (Props, Burrito Del Sol). There is a huge shower in the second bathroom which is perfect for a quick clean up after the pool especially if you have small kids. My daughters loved the TVs in the bunk beds, but know that only the top bunk has a DVD player. The view from the patio is amazing. The condo is perfectly placed because its right by the stairs, a very short distance from the elevator, but far enough that we never heard foot traffic. It is also far enough away from the pool that you can see it, but you don't hear the commotion going on below. We will be returning, and would recommend the condo to anyone and everyone. "

"ANOTHER Great Christmas at the Beach
I have been staying at B & S properties at least once per year for several years and have always been satisfied with accommodations and customer service.
Reservation and check in is always seamless. This year I stayed over Christmas & New Years for 17 days. Condo is always in great shape and well stocked with kitchen essentials, although I had to buy a cheap colander/strainer this year. (Gotta have one to boil shrimp or pasta!)Property Mgr told me afterwards that I should have told her and they would have gotten one. No biggee.
Washer and dryer in unit is a big plus, especially for a long stay.
Great Sunrise/Sunset from the balcony, pool was warm, Spa warmer.
Saw the COLD weather forecast for Oklahoma the last week and extended my stay for a few days with absolutely no problems.
Thanks again."

"Very Pleased
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely plan on returning. The only negative thing we found was the dishwasher. It was pretty old and didn't clean the dishes very well. The location was great and the condo was very clean!"

"Room 402
Not as nice as last year. The room had mold in the guest bath. The carpet was not vacuumed. Also carpet needed cleaning. The master bedroom's bed skirt was ripped and tuck in trying to cover up. ( not very appealing) The owners could put a little time in with a little money and make a little more presentable. Kinda disappointed this year with room 402. Will definitely look for another room next year."
Sep 18, 2013 - Cynthia P., Stackbridge, GA
"Great place to stay
We have stayed at Pelican Isle every year since it was built and love the location. It is out of the heavy traffic over in Destin but only about 8 minutes to Destin and all of the great places to eat like Harbor Docks. Will be back next year."

"Pelican Isle 402
The building grounds & pool are nice but the room had worn couch, cheap bed mattress hard as a rock (bought air mattress just to sleep), blinds don't work and bedroom window lets outside sound in & dryer lent filter has holes in it. Stayed in many of the condos in this area through Brooks & Shorey and they have always been great but this one was a total let down and should be greatly discounted. "

Error made by B&S Resorts staff resulted in confusion on check-in. Could not enter condo on late arrival. After several calls issue resolved in a timely manner.
Very good amenity package with rental."

Our stay was everything we had hoped for! The unit was perfect for our needs. Close to everything! We truly did not want to leave. The view each morning was stunning - never have I enjoyed coffee more! Will be coming back."

"Late Summer Stay
Great condo at a good price. The pool is kinda small and might be crowded during peak season but for the third week of August we had plenty of room."

"Good Stay
We had a great time in your condo. We are a family of 5 and there wasn't enough seating in the den area, but we made do. Could use a cookie sheet and a pizza pan in the kitchen but otherwise we had what we needed. The kids liked the tvs in the bunk beds and we loved having 2 bathrooms! Nice condo with a great beach!"

"Another good vacation thanks to Shorey and Brooks!
This is the 2nd yr we have stayed at Shorey and Brooks with no complaints. We would suggest the linens in #402 need to be updated. "

"Family Vacation
With a family of 4, with 2 small children the property management was very accomadating get us into our condo when we arrived early from Texas. The view was beautiful and the condo was exactly as described. I would definitely recommend this location to other families."

"Great place to relax!!!
The condo was very clean and very nice. The kids loved the TV in the bunks and all the decor! Having two full bathrooms was very nice and honestly so very clean. Loved having a washer and dryer in the room. Everything was operational in the unit and the property manager was very helpful. The only issue we had with the unit was that the balcony door didn't open smoothly and we were afraid the kids would break it trying to pull it open, so we stopped by to tell the desk and it was fixed that day. The balcony furniture could use some updating but served its purpose. I enjoyed getting up every morning and watching the dolphins in the water from our room and hearing the ocean sing us to sleep every night. I also really loved standing in the kitchen and being able to see the water. The beach was very clean and the chair service included in the room was a great added plus. The area is safe and family orientated. The location is close to a grocery and many places to eat and shop. LOVED IT!"

"Great but disappointed
We had a great vacation but unfortunatly we had to cut it a day short due to a work related issue and when i called the insurance company to tell them, they stated that that wasnt a excuse and was not covered. I was told we could cancel for any reason
but shame on me, I should have read the policy. I will not take another policy out."

"Late Summer Getaway
The complex and the staff were very nice, as was the location. The weather and the water were very nice most of the week. The bathrooms were nice, and lots of linens was great. My major complaint was the furniture (bed, couch, and chair) were very uncomfortable,
and minor stuff like no working can opener and no decent size coffee mugs. I reluctantly wouldn't recommend the property as we rented better for less money."

"Pelican Isle 402 2011 August
Rooms freshly painted and decorated nicely. Kitchen fully stocked so we cooked great family meals. Bunkbed TVs allowed youngster to watch his shows. However, the den lacks clothes storage - a dresser to hold the additional sleepers' apparel instead of
that TV cabinet. "

"Family vacation
We had a great stay at the Pelican Isle 402. It was clean, nice and cozy for our family of four. The kids loved the tv's for each bed of the bunkbed, however, one of the remotes was missing its battery. Overall, I'd stay there again."

"Great condo
The only thing I would say is that the there was a note on the refrigerator to not change turn down the temp on the fridge, but it really did not keep things very cold. Also a note to not turn the air below 75. This was not always comfortable. There were times when we needed to turn the air down."

"mostly satified
I guess my biggest disappointment was the room not being ready upon arrival. We drove for 10 hours and was not allowed inside the room until 5:30 pm I did not think this was fair after all we paid for the full day! The room was clean and when I reported the problems with the tv and light bulbs they were promptly fixed. My suggestion would be that people who travel so far should be allowed to check in around 2 or after but 4 to 6 does not justify paying a full days worth! We arrived at 2 and management knew we wanted in the room and was told that the maids did not show due to holiday and no one was available to check the cleanliness. I was like let me look and I will let you know if it is clean or not and that was not allowed. The way it was handled was not good. Especially when another employee said our room was in fact ready. There was another family in the lobby with the same problem! "

"Snowbird 2010-2011 season
The unit was not well cleaned. The livingroom entertainment unit and ceiling lights were very dusty. The new individual TV/DVD players in bunk area was terrific. Like this end of building - far from pool/hot-tub noise. Like the privacy of this floor and end of building. Overall, NOTHING wrong with this unit."

"First Time Guest
This was my first time using a condo-style rental property. When I arrived the first evening there was no one there help me check in and I had no idea what I was suppose to do. I called the after-hours phone number provided at the check in window but all that call got me was a recorded message saying that I should leave a message and IF MY EMERGENCY WAS BIG ENOUGH, someone would call me back. THEY NEVER DID. Fortunately a friend who had checked in earlier in the day helped me retrieve the key from a lock box. Now,I realize that part of the problem was my fault for not reading the reservation receipt thoroughly enough. But I've stayed at nearly every brand of hotel in existance and never had any problem figuring out how to check in, without having to study the reservation receipt. What's more, I don't want to be bothered with the added stress from a source that I'm paying to help relieve my existing stress.
When I met the woman working at the reception desk the following day I was very impressed with how helpful and professional she was. Likewise, everyone I spoke with on the phone was very pleasant and helpful. So, the issue I ran into is apparently not a matter of employee attitude. It seems to be a corporate policy that just caught me unaware and unprepared. But, as a paying customer I can tell you that, if my friend had not arrived earlier and known what to do, I probably would have driven away and never had another nice word to say about you. An unfair result for both of us just because of a failure in communication.
This was the only part of my stay that stood out as possibly of value to you. The rest of the stay was pleasant but uneventful. The facilities as a whole are clean and inviting, and the location is very good if not one of the best available."

check in was quick,very easy and friendly. overall the unit appeared clean. however, our unit had a very musty smell, the middle bathroom shower had an abundance of mold, the exterior corner of the shower had a build up of mold/dirt (possibly "mopped" in to the corner.) the exterior balcony had alot of dirt and a few cigarette butts."

"Fun in Florida
great condo, unbeatable location on the Emerald coast and 2 minutes from downtown. This unit is right across from the trash chute, fyi, but we didnt find that to be much of a problem. Very clean, great set up nice complex. I highly recommend Brooks and Shorey, they made check in and out as easy as could be. great amenities too! "

"Not satisfied, will not stay here again.
Condo was dirty, carpet was filthy, entertainment center was covered with dust, sofa was stained, hall bath's shower was full of mildew, sheets on bunks were filthy and had not been washed from previous stays, we found items under the bunks from previous renters so it was obvious no one had cleaned, shower in master bath was set on a "water jet" setting that could not be changed to a lighter/lesser setting. The facility itself (lobby, elevators, pool area) was clean and wonderful. Our unit was TERRIBLE!"

"Our Stay at Pelican Isle
We loved the perks of staying at the condo, such as the free beach set up, movie rentals and spacious unit. What we did not like was how much we had to clean when we were charged a hefty clean up fee, that there was no property manager on site and that the a/c unit wouldn't keep a consistent tempature in the condo. The good outweighed the bad, but we could see if anything went wrong, we were on our own (unless we wanted to be charged another fee)."
