I have just spent two weeks at pelicans perch. It is a perfect condo. It is tastefully decorated has everything you need to have a great stay and the view is amazing. Everything about this condo was perfect. Dealing with Joni was such a pleasant experience I hope to be able to come back here som day in the near future. Thank you for sharing this beautiful condo so that so many of us can have such a wonderful experience. If you decide to come here, you will never regret renting this condo.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you, Kay, we are so happy you had a good time and enjoyed staying at Pelican's Perch. We do hope we will be welcoming you again in the future, and this time we will order better weather for your stay.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful condo with us! Everything was just right - very clean, very comfortable, the view for sunrise and sunset amazing. We love the easy beach access and close restaurants. It was just what we needed!! Joni was so kind and helpful, a pleasure to speak with. See you next year!!u

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you so much for the kind words. We are definitely looking forward to your visit next year, it is exciting to have you on the 2024 calendar already.

Pelican’s Perch is an amazing condo. It’s clean, beautifully decorated, full of all the amenities and then some, from starter laundry pods, extra trash bags and dishwasher tabs, to beach towels. There’s a binder of restaurant menus and recommendations of things to see and do. The view from the balcony is absolutely stunning! Joni is such a sweet lady and very responsive when I had questions. We’re already making plans to return next year.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you so much for this great review. We are excited that we will have an opportunity to welcome you back in 2024. Having guests like you helps make this adventure fun for us.

Another great vacation at Pelicans Perch. This time we were able to share it with our daughter. She is a Federal agent for the Army and lives in El Paso, Tx. She had a great time. She was very impressed with the accommodations and the view and location. She slept on the lower bunk and said it was very comfortable. I we will definitely be back again. Joni is without a doubt the best hottess. As I stated in my review from our September 2022 visit, Look no further this is it. Thanks again

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you so much for your very kind words. We value all of our guests, but our repeaters make our hearts especially happy, and we are looking forward to hosting you next year and for many years to come. Have a great rest of the year and a fabulous 2024.

We had such an amazing stay at Pelicans Perch. The furnishings and amenities are top notch. It was so great having such close beach access as well. We spent our mornings drinking coffee and watching the waves from the great view of the Gulf from the balcony. There is no shortage of great shopping and amazing food to be had as well. Most of all, having such wonderful hosts in Gerry and Joni separates Pelicans Perch from any other stay. They are both wonderful people and helped make our first experience at Miramar our best vacation yet. 10/10, 5 stars, would recommend to any and all who are considering making Pelicans Perch their next vacation destination.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you so much for the glowing review of Pelican’s Perch. The three of us take delight in seeing to it that our guests are treated like 5* guests. We are so pleased that the two of you had such a great time. We look forward to hosting you again in the future.

We cannot say enough great things about this condo and Joni. We feel like we’ve finally found the perfect location for our family. The condo is the cutest, cleanest condo with anything you need. The building was great as well. We never had to wait long for an elevator and everyone was extremely nice. I wish Joni could be cloned as a hostess! THE BEST! She is the sweetest and takes such great care of her people.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you for choosing Pelican's Perch for your vacation this year! I"m blushing and very humbled by your compliments, and we hope we will always earn this praise from each and every guest. We are excited that you, and your family, feel you have found the perfect vacation location, and we will be anticipating your return.

My wife and I stayed here for a week in June and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. The condo is beautiful and very well kept. The views from the balcony are breathtaking, and the location couldn’t be better. The owner is on top of everything and very easy to get in touch with. We will 100% be back and I can’t wait!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you so much for this review, and we definitely will look forward to a return visit from the two of you. We couldn't have asked for better guests.

This was our first vacation in Miramar Beach and Pelicans Perch Condo did not disappoint! The condo was beautifully decorated and felt like home! Ocean views were spectacular! We were just steps away from the white sand and ocean. Our host was absolutely fantastic! She responded quickly with any questions and made great recommendations for activities and restaurants. Condo had everything we needed from kitchen supplies to washer/dryer. Our little loved playing on the bunk bed and had a great time with the sand toys that were available. We would definitely recommend this condo and hopefully will be back to visit soon!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Robert, thank you so much for this very thoughtful review. We definitely hope y'all will return to Pelican's Perch for your next vacation, and while there, we hope to see more pictures of Meadow.

Beautiful condo and breathtaking view of the ocean and beach. The condo was decorated beautiful and was so comfortable. They had just about everything we needed for our stay. Good restaurants close by. Joni was exceptional in dealing with. Was only a phone call away if we had any questions. She aimed to please. Would stay here again if/when we go back. You won’t be disappointed.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. We hope that if/when will definitely turn into a when because we are always honored to have guests like you and Chuck.

The perfect place to visit for a weeks stay . The beach is conveniently right across the street with a beautiful unobstructed ocean view . So many thoughtful accommodations from the hosts as well as great communication. This is our 3rd time at the pelicans perch and after our first stay we have told ourselves there is no where better to stay while I’m Destin !

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you so much! We are so grateful for the loyalty our guests bless us with and are so excited each year to have the great honor of welcoming you back to the "Perch." We look forward to hearing from you soon letting us know when we will be welcoming you back in '24.

This place was lovely! It has everything you need for the beach and a great view. Clean and welcoming. Joni was great to work with.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you, Brooke! We look forward to welcoming you back for a longer stay in the future. Remember, our repeat guests receive a 10% discount on their next booking.

This was the second stay at Pelican Perch. We have always loved this condo! The updates were just beautiful! Joni is the best! We arrived to a surprise for our anniversary, mimosas! Joni has always been so kind and helpful. We will return to 907B ! The view is spectacular and you are within walking distance to restaurants and stores.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you, Pam! We love to pamper our repeat friends. Your loyalty is very much appreciated and we are anxious to welcome you back to the "Perch"

Pelican Perch is the perfect little getaway! The decor of this condo will transport you to a tropical destination. Everything from the bathroom to the main living room will give you all the beach-y vibes! The entire condo is well stocked with everything you need or want for your stay. There is even the added little touches of beach chairs and boogie boards for your convenience. It was truly an amazing stay here, and we will definitely book 907B again!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you for this wonderful review. We are always so thrilled when our guests appreciate our little piece of paradise. We will look forward to hosting you again.

We stayed at Pelican’s Perch again as snowbirds this year. As before, Joni made sure everything was taken care of for us. She is 5he most responsive owner we’ve ever had. It was a beautiful 4 weeks that took us away from our “normal” responsibilities and brought my husband of 47 years and I closer. We have already booked next year. The condo has everything you need. Just about every evening I took pictures of the sunset. I am slightly obsessed with the view. My husband asked me several times if we could stay another week but someone else had already booked it! Love the Bad Ass coffee shop (within walking distance) Surf Hut (right down the road) and many other nearby restaurants. You can’t go wrong!

Joni Newberg's reply:

I am so happy we were able to earn a 5-star review from you again this year. Maybe next year we can work on making that 5th week happen. We are looking forward to hosting y'all again next year and for many years to come. Thank you for your loyalty.

Our stay was great loved it Our trip was 7weeks in Florida and the highlights were definitely staying at Pelican Perch and Destin Florida. The information book you Had prepared for us was a huge help. Thank you all for a wonderful trip.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you, Cathy and Glen, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay and hope you will honor us with a return visit. Your very thoughtful note and gratuity to our housekeeper were so appreciated by her. Thank you!

We were in a nautical world upon stepping into this incredible condo. The hallway lights were like the swirling of the gulf water. To the right the bed looked cozy. But walking into the kitchen/family room you’re immediately feeling beachy. Such a cozy place to relax, enjoy life, and reflect. Pelicans perch is the perfect place to sit with a glass of wine and watch the sunrise and set. We loved watching Dan the Sandman building castles. Just breathing in the fresh gulf air on the balcony. Joni’s a wonderful host and this condo has everything imaginable. Even some foods in the cabinet. I highly recommend you to soak up the sun from Pelicans Perch. We will be back.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Gail. We are thrilled that you appear to love the "perch" as much as we do and that you appreciate the efforts that went into creating this inviting, relaxing atmosphere. We believe that our guests vacationing in the most beautiful area on the Gulf Coast deserve to spend their time in a place that helps them have the perfect vacation. A review such as yours will ensure that we continue to maintain our little piece of paradise for the enjoyment of all who stay there. We hope you found that cozy bed as comfortable as it looks and that you will visit as often as possible.

Look no further, because you won’t find a vacation condo that meets the high standards of Majestic Sun 907B. This place has it all. Incredible view, wonderful decor, all the comforts of home and a lot of extras you don’t get at other places. For example, wine, cupcakes, very comfortable furnishings, a very well equipped kitchen and a hostess that is absolutely incredible. This condo was very clean, and so was the property. Great location and easy to access. We hated to leave. This is one of the Best vacation condos ever and we have rented several over the past 40 years we have been to Florida. Wish we could give it 10 stars.We will definitely be back.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Wow! We are so proud to have earned this wonderful review and really look forward to your return. Now you have set the bar very high for us to reach, but reach it we will. Thank you for choosing Pelican's Perch for your Fall vacation this year.

We walked in to an amazing view. Our one year old had a blast! There are games available for rainy times. Master bed is perfect for me, firm and conforms to your body. I have to brag about the communication with Ms. Joni. It was top notch, could not have asked for better. We have been coming g to Destin for 8 years now and this was the best communication we have had. Looking forward to next year!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this thoughtful review and we are looking forward to being your host each and every year you visit beautiful Miramar Beach. We hope you have a picture of your 1-year-old enjoying her time there and share it with us so we can watch her grow up at Pelican's Perch. Thanks again to your husband for taking the time to troubleshoot our microwave problem, saving us several hundred dollars on buying a new one that we didn't actually need.

My family and I have been to Florida on multiple occasions but this one tops it all! We spent a whole week at 907B pelican purch and I tell you it was the most inviting place I've vacationed in from the time we walked in the door we had some music playing and the absolute best cupcakes Ive ever eaten on the counter for us with a very sweet welcoming note. Just about everything you need is provided there was beach towels, sand toys , beach chairs a pump for floaties and so much more! And anything I needed or questions I had Joni was just a txt and call away and was on top of everything. The absolute best people to rent from!! And an absolute beautiful condo!! I have nothing but good things to say about this place we will definitely be back!!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Janna, thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. We are so happy you, and your family had such a great time, and most definitely look forward to hosting your next vacation on the beautiful Emerald Coast.

This was Our first time staying at pelicans perch but it will not be our last. The location was great, the views were amazing, and all the extra touches by the owners make it that much more special. Our kids enjoyed every moment of our trip, and there was never a dull moment. We had so many food recommendations it was hard to pick every night. You can not beat the beautiful balcony view.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Lauren, thank you for taking the time to write this very thoughtful review. We are so happy you, and your family enjoyed your visit and we look forward to being your hosts for your next vacation.

This was my third or fourth time in Pelican’s Perch and I will absolutely continue to stay here in the future. I have stayed with and without kids. Perfect location in Miramar in a great resort complex, very recent updates to the condo, lots of amenities and extras provided, and extremely clean! The master bed is very comfortable. Kids love the bunks! Couldn’t ask for better hosts. Communication with them is a breeze. If you’re trying to choose between this one and another- pick this one! You won’t be disappointed.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you, Laura! We are so happy you continue to choose Pelican's Perch when vacationing on beautiful Miramar Beach. I will definitely share your comments with our fantastic housekeeper because, without her, we would not be able to do long-distance management. We look forward to our return visits.

My family and I recently stayed here. This condo has AMAZING views! It was nice to have the ocean right in front of you while cooking. It was perfect for our family. We loved the extras that were provided (sand toys,games, boogie boards,etc). Condo is very clean and has great storage space. My kids loved the hallway bunkbeds. The beach is literally right across the street. It’s very easy access. Very convenient with children when you need to run back up to the room for something. It is within walking distance to several restaurants. There is also a really nice gift shop located downstairs which was also really convenient. The owner Joni is wonderful. She made sure we had everything we needed. Super easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this condo. I’ve actually sent it to several friends already that are looking in the area. We had a great experience and definitely plan to return!

This condo is perfectly decorated with a relaxing atmosphere. I was elated at all the basics that were already there. I added to the supply with what I had brought with me. Love the idea of leaving unopened pantry items for the next guests. It felt like home!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Pam, we are so happy you enjoyed staying st Pelican's Perch and thank you so much for this wonderful review. We look forward to having you come "home" as oftenas possible.

Our stay for a month in condo 907B was a pleasant experience that we plan to do again in the future! Upon arrival, after a long day of travel, we were greeted by everything needed for a very comfortable stay. The condo was extremely well equipped with kitchen and cooking supplies. There was a book with many menus from restaurants to assist with eating decisions as well as one with general information. Time was spent playing golf, shopping and just relaxing by enjoying the beautiful view from the balcony. Joni was so easy and pleasant to work with. Due to an unexpected illness with a grandson, we were delayed a couple of days in arriving. Joni graciously offered us an additional stay of two days, which we were able to do. We would definitely recommend a stay with Joni and family at 907B, Pelican Perch! We loved every minute! Thanks again!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. I am happy we had those back-end days open that we could offer you, and very happy your grandson recovered and y'all were able to enjoy a relaxing vacation.

My husband and I stayed for four weeks in January/February 2022. We absolutely loved the condo, especially the balcony. We spent many hours sitting on that balcony! Since we were there for four weeks we were able to go to Gulf Breeze Zoo, Rosemary Beach and 30A, Gulfarium, and several State Parks. The condo is convenient to the restaurants. We liked Surf Hut, Crab Trap and Pompano Joe’s. Our two favorites were Boshamps and McGuires. Joni was so helpful and kept in touch with us frequently. We like it so much we’ve already reserved four weeks next year.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you for this great review, Dianne! We are so happy you and Randy had such a good time and we look forward to being your host again next year.

Our December 2021 stay in 907B was wonderful! The condo was very clean & well stocked. Joni was great to work with. The view from the balcony was awesome! We even got to see some dolphins. The sunrises & especially sunsets were a thing to see! We were careful about eating out due to Covid & always enjoyed our meals outside by the ocean at the many local restaurants. We especially enjoyed Pompano Joe's. Also, enjoying meals on the condo balcony with a view of the ocean was spectacular. It was really fun to see palm trees in December and Christmas trees decorated at the malls. The weather was fantastic except for a few mildly chilly days, which still weren't too cold to take walks. There are many restaurants, stores, and malls nearby, most within walking distance. Our son, daughter, & grandkids were able to stay with us for several days at different times during the month & enjoyed their time there immensely. Joni kept the lines of communication open & was available if needed. We would do this again without hesitation. Thank you Joni & family!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Connie and Allen, we are so happy to hear that you and your family had such a good time over the Christmas holiday. We certainly enjoyed having you as first-time guests at Pelican's Perch. Thank you so much for all the kind words and we hope you will visit again.

Pelican’s Perch is the perfect condo with an amazing view! The condo felt like home the moment we walked in. The lights were on and music was playing which made for a warm welcome. The condo is clean and beautifully decorated with furniture that truly feels like home. Joni was an amazing host and kept in touch through the rental process. This was our first visit to Miramar/Destin and we had an amazing time. December is a great time to visit and it was fun to see all the Christmas lights/ decorations in the area. We highly recommend the Pelican’s Perch and look forward to staying here again in the future!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Missy, thank you so much for your thoughtful review and we are so happy you had such a great time. December is a perfect time to visit if the purpose is to sightsee, spend the warm days walking the beautiful beach, or just relax. We are so proud that we have, possibly, the best guests on the coast who rent Pelican's Perch and our goal is to make sure you do come back.

Pelicans Perch exceeded our expectations for a beachfront condo. It was furnished with everything we needed for our stay and more. The view from the balcony was just beautiful. Access to the beach was just steps away from the front of the building. Joni was an exceptional host. She is always responsive and caring. We felt like family by the end of our booking and stay. We can't wait to return and will definitely recommend this condo to friends and family. Thank you Joni and team for our lovely week at Pelicans Perch.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Ashley, thank you for this wonderful review! We will always do everything possible to ensure our guests have a fantastic vacation and it feels so great when we are told we did our job correctly. We are looking forward to hosting you again in 2022. Y'all are 5-star guests.

I hate to leave this review.. cuz it means I might not get in when I want to next time! I had been looking for a place for an entire week before pelican perch popped up on my search. I couldn't believe it! Everything we wanted and needed for such a great price. And Joni is so available all the time for any reason! The condo has everything one needs.. every possible cooking utensil, crock pot, toaster, blender, stove, coffee maker, washer dryer etc etc.. and I could look at the 9 th floor view all day long.. everything was pristine clean and my husband thanked me and thanked me for finding it.. he's never thanked me for anything THAT MUCH.. HE CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK AND HE HATES TO TRAVEL.

Joni Newberg's reply:

I am breathless! This is such a wonderful and thoughtful review and we are so happy that because you found Pelican's Perch, David appreciates you more than ever. Ha, ha! I love that. The next time, and we will make certain there is a next time, y'all will have to plan to stay a little longer. Thank you so much for having chosen Pelican's Perch for your 1st trip to the beautiful Emerald Coast and we are definitely looking forward to being your hosts in the future.

Owners are amazing. View is absolutely gorgeous. Condo is perfect. Nicely stocked with supplies use frequently like trash bags. Had amazing time even with hurricane rolling through Louisiana. Water cleared up in a couple days. My mom and I had an amazing week. Oh and did I tell you that the owners are awesome?

Joni Newberg's reply:

Danelle, thank you for your very kind words, and we really appreciate that you returned to the "Perch" this year. How great that your mom was able to meet you this year for a special mom and daughter week. We love our repeat five-star guests and our goal is to never let you down. Hopefully, we will have the pleasure of hosting you again next year!

Our family has just returned from a wonderful week at the pelican perch. We really enjoyed our stay. Joni is a great host she is very kind and quick to answer any of your questions. The condo is decorated so cute but that view absolutely sold us, we didn’t want to leave. Destin holds a special place in my heart it’s a gorgeous place to visit. It’s so much more relaxing when you know your in a place that is kept neat and tidy, also helps that the host makes you feel very welcomed. We hope to be back next year to this amazing destination. Thanks a lot Joni for sharing your condo with our family!!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We are so happy you discovered Pelican's Perch this year and look forward to hosting you, and your family, for many years to come.

My husband and I are spending the last of 5 nights here celebrating our 20th anniversary. We travel quite often, both domestically and internationally. We very often travel in large groups and utilize vacation rentals for convenience and amenities (washer/dryer, kitchen, etc.) Pelicans Perch is amazing. While it is only the 2 of us this time, we will be returning with our family. The hallway bunks are a great for kids/teens and the view can't be beat. When I say that they thought of everything.... they have. Besides having plenty of dishes, there is also a crackpot (yes! So easy to pop in a meal and head off to the beach!) And a blender!! But that isn't all... they also provided a complete start up with more than enough toilet paper, dish detergent, laundry detergent, trash bags... even an electric float air pump!! There is more then enough towels, beach towels and wash cloths. The bed is super comfy and the bed linens are nice. Did I mention all the hooks in the hallway, bathroom, inside the shower? More than enough to hang loofah, wash clothes, etc. Loved the soft music playing when we opened the door too. It was such a pleasure booking with Joni, we can't wait to return!!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Angel, thank you so much for this wonderful review. We are so happy we could accommodate you and your husband, for your anniversary celebration this week. We will look forward to hearing from you again.

Admittedly, I wasn't sure about renting a condo. Our family has never rented one before or used a site like this and were nervous. But this ended up being one of the best experiences we've ever had! Joni was prompt and professional and didn't mind answering all of my questions. She was super responsive and made the trip enjoyable. The unit itself was AMAZING!!!! It was super clean and had every amenity necessary. Also, you'd be hard pressed to find a place with a better view! We were literally steps away from the beach. We didn't have to hassle with parking and lugging beach gear everywhere. All we had to do was walk about two hundred steps! Also, the location of the unit itself was great. Initially we thought about being closer to the "downtown" area of Destin but are so glad we chose this spot. The beach was great and the crowds were not bad like they are towards the marina area. We would do it again!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Sean! Our goal is for everyone who enters the front door of Pelican's Perch to immediately begin to relax and we are so happy to receive feedback, such as yours, that we are succeeding. Of course, we can't take all of the credit because when our guests get less than halfway down the hall and see that view our goal has already been accomplished. We hope to see you guys again next year.

What a beautiful condo!! From the moment you walk in, the condo feels so warm and welcoming. It is so beautifully furnished. The kitchen was well stocked (even had plastic storage bags and aluminum foil with a note that said use what you need). What a thoughtful touch! We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony. The high top table and chairs gave a great view above the railing. Joni was so easy to work with and accommodating. Destin is our "happy place". We hope to return again soon and would definitely stay at Pelican's Perch.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Debbie, thank you so much for the kind words. Our guests' comfort and relaxation are important to us and we thank you for letting us know we are succeeding. We look forward to hosting you again.

Wow! So much to say about this condo! To begin, it is sooo pretty! I am aself admitted clean freak and want to be in comfy, beautiful surroundingsand this unit is all that and more. The king bed is super comfortable and myvoice came to visit for a weekend and slept on the bottom bunk bed and saidit was great, so prepare to get some good rest. The kitchen is well stocked,with plenty of appliances. The owners are kind enough to have a few rolls totoilet paper, laundry soap and dishwasher tabs, so it helped us until wecould get our supplies (we were here for 2 months).The view!!! The view!! That alone was worth staying here...a full sunrise tosunset for us, so we spent a lot of time on the balcony. It is situatedperfectly with plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from...all withinwalking distance (Whale's Tail, Cabana Cafe, Bad Ass Coffe, the Beach Barwith bonfires...lots more!). Not only is there a great view of the beach,but dolphins were out in front almost everyday. We even saw a shark swimmingin those clear emerald waters! (Bring binoculars!!) The beach is just acrossthe street with EASY access and the building has both indoor (heated)andoutdoor pools as well as 2 hot tubs. We never had any issues with the condoor building and needed to co tact the owners, but Joni was in touch a fewtimes just to give us any info we needed, so we really appreciated that.We will DEFINITELY be staying here again and for anyone else considering it,dont even hesitate to book here! Beautiful condo, gorgeous views, secure building, comfy, and plenty to do in the area!!

Joni Newberg's reply:

We are so happy that you chose Pelican's Perch for your "flight" South this year and hope you will visit us again. Our housekeeper remarked that she had very little to do because the condo was in spotless condition. All of our guests' are five-star rated but we will give you 6 stars. Thank you for this wonderful review and we hope to host you again in the future.

We spent several days at Pelican's Perch and loved every minute. The mood was set when we opened the door upon arrival-lights on and music playing. SO inviting! Great location! We had everything that we needed for a welcome week of relaxation. Great way to end 2020! We will be back!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Jennifer, We are so pleased that you chose Pelican's Perch for your Christmas Getaway and our wish for the New Year is that you will be back soon. We love our 5* guests.

Our family loves staying at this unit at Majestic Sun. This unit is always being upgraded and is well looked after. We think of Joni (the manager) more like family than an owner. We love the complex and all there is to do here and wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you, Jeanie, we are happy that you enjoy our condo so much and hope you will continue to return every chance you get. We love getting to know our guests on a personal level and begin to think of you like family, also.

My niece and I needed a relaxing trip to recharge our batteries, so to speak. We stayed at Pelican’s Perch and had a wonderful, relaxing 5 days and 4 nights there. Everything was just perfect! The condo was spotlessly clean and the furnishings were so pretty and the colors used were very spa like! We couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to take a short get away from the stress of everyday life. Sitting on the balcony overlooking the white sandy beach and hearing the waves hit the shore was just what we both needed! The sunsets were indescribable! We enjoyed every minute of our stay. The owners were helpful and let us know some of their favorite restaurants and directions to a grocery store and shopping places. The condo is well equipped with dishes, silverware, glasses and pots and pans for cooking. We were very pleased with our stay and hope we can go back and stay longer the next time!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Rosemary, we are so happy you and your niece, Donna, enjoyed our condo. You two were wonderful guest and we look forward to your return visit.

You know what they say about real estate “location, location, location” and this is a great one!!! The view of the Gulf is spectacular any time of the day. Sunsets are beautiful. The condo itself is amazing and decorated beautifully. Loved that it had 2 bathrooms-one with a tub and shower and one with a shower stall. Made it great for me and my aunt to get ready at the same time. We were there in late September and the beaches were not terribly crowded. Easy driving distance to grocery stores and restaurants. Condo was spotless. Will definitely go back!!!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Donna, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay at our condo. We will be delighted to host you and your aunt in the future.

This condo is amazing with the wonderful view from the balcony and the sounds of the waves washing up on the beautiful while sand beach. It is furnished with very stylish furniture, yet is so comfortable and homey you feel like you want to kick off your shoes and stay awhile. The condo is in a great location with grocery shopping as well as outlet mall and souvenir shopping close by. We really enjoyed our stay at Pelican’s Perch and hope to return very soon.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Rosemary, we are delighted you chose to stay at our relaxing condo. We certainly hope to be your host in the future.

This is my third visit to Merimar Beach, this condo was great! Beautifully decorated and had all the little touches plus a great view. I loved dealing directly with the owners they were great! Definitely recommend. Will be back

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you, Danelle, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you visit with us again. Our wish now is that you and your family stay safe and healthy.

We had a week reserved at this condo before the coronavirus hit- I’ll beaches were close so we were forced to have to cancel our trip- The owners were absolutely amazing! They issued us a full refund including our deposit with no questions asked and even offered to book with a discount for a later date! This has been the best communication I have ever received from any resort we have ever stayed at! Top-notch quality communication! Would highly recommend anyone to book at this condo! We will be staying here as soon as the beach is open!!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you, Tracy! We hope we will always do the "right thing" by our cherished guests. We look forward to this virus being defeated and welcoming you, and your family, to our place and to the gorgeous beaches of Miramar Beach, FL very soon.

It is with regret that I write this review - regret that I am writing this from cold, snowy Ohio instead of from this beautiful condo! This was our first visit to the Destin area so it was so nice to be welcomed by the owners who happened to have been there the previous week. They were so gracious and welcoming and even helped us move in. The view from this condo cannot be beat! So relaxing to gaze out at the sparkling 180 degree view of the gulf (??)while eating on the balcony or enjoying a sunrise or sunset. You can even view the gulf from anywhere in the living room and cooking in the kitchen while looking out at the gulf was a definite bonus. We loved being in Miramar Beach away from the bustle of Destin yet only a few minutes to get there. We spent two weeks at the condo and did not find anything lacking in this well stocked kitchen. The access to the beach was so easy, literally just steps from the condo with plenty of crosswalks. The boardwalk was an easy place to walk. The master bed was so comfortable that after the first night we both commented our backs did not hurt. My husband played golf right at the resort so that was nice not to have to drive far. It was obvious the owners had put a lot of thought into providing a beautifully decorated, comfortable place to stay. We will be back!

Thank you for this wonderful review! And thank you for referring to the gulf, not the ocean, hahahaha. We hope you will return soon, and often, and are proud to honor you as 5*guests. Now that we know what kind of wine you drink there just might be some waiting for you next trip.

My husband and I just finished staying at Pelican's Perch in the Majestic Sun at Miramar Beach, and it was GORGEOUS!! Joni was so warm and accommodating!! Very sweet lady! she has the condo very beautifully decorated and it was so cozy and homey feeling! The view is absolutely breathtaking! If you are thinking about staying here and are wondering about her pictures, they are completely legit! She was a big help from start to finish with the booking process! Thank you so much for everything Joni, we will most definitely be staying here again!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you so much for this wonderful review and we hope you will come again soon, and often. We will be offering some positive changes in 2020 and will make certain our 5* guest hear about them first.

This was our first time staying here and it was amazing. We had everything we needed. The only thing we didn't have was a hair dryer, but other than that everything was great. The view was amazing and we had a great time!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Tasha, thank you so much for this review. We did, at one time, have hair dryers under the cabinets in the bathrooms but I guess they "walked off". I, personally, dislike the mounted on the wall types but that may be the way we have to do it. We hope you will come back to Pelican's Perch for your next beach vacation. We will be offering beach service beginning March, 2020. For guests who would like to book early we also offer a "vacation lay-away plan. Thank you, and your family, for being 5* guests. **** Please note: We tried to purchase beach service but were unable to do so. The vendor has a contract with the developers of Seascape and, unless we are managed by them, they will not let us purchase the service. They do allow guests to purchase by the week or by the day. We do have a deck box on the balcony where we have placed beach chairs for the adults and the littles.

We traveled from Illinois for our vacation this year. Pelicans Perch was everything we’d hoped for!! The view from the balcony is breathtaking any time of the day! Such easy access to the beach and amazing restaurants. The condo is beautifully decorated and so homey and comfortable! Joni was so easy to get in touch with and booking was a breeze. We have already recommended a stay here to several friends and family! Thank you so much for sharing a little slice of heaven with our family!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Patty, Thank you so much for all the compliments. We hope you will be able to return to our beautiful Emerald Coast for your next beach vacation. We are so lucky to have 5* tenants like you, and your family. This year we will be offering a "vacation lay-a-way" plan for our returning guests. With only a $100.00 deposit we will work out a payment plan to help our guests pay with minimal pain. Again, we thank you for choosing Pelican's Perch. Joni Newberg, Gerry and Roger Barnes.

We stayed last week at this beautiful condo. All positive from our end. The kids loved the pool and their own bunk in the bunk beds. The gift shop in the main lobby in building B was very nice. The unit was right next to the elevator and trash chute, making it very convenient with our 3 kids. I appreciate your family letting us stay here, we will be back!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Kayla, thank you for this wonderful review and thank you for being 5* guests at 907B. We appreciate that you took the time to take a couple of pictures in the condo and send to us. Since we are out-of-town owners we need to the cooperation of everyone who stays there in order to help us stay on top of things. We can't wait for you to return!

Majestic Emerald View of Ocean from balcony. Clean beautiful decorated.

Joni Newberg's reply:

I highly recommend this place, beautiful, clean, comfortable, it has everything you will need to enjoy your vacation and make amazing memories ??

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you so much for your review of Pelican's Perch. It means so much to us to know that we are succeeding in our efforts to provide a wonderful location for our guests. We are looking forward to welcoming you again. 7/17/20, Thank you for booking with us again for your August trip. We hope you will enjoy this one as much, or more than your last. Stay safe!

We had the opportunity to stay at Pelican's Perch. We loved the décor and the views were unbeatable in the morning and even though we were on vacation we got up to enjoy the sunrise every morning. The Condo had more than enough amenities for our family and even a spare guest for a few days. Walking distance to great food like an Acme oyster bar and an ice cream shop. with a little drive we were at a Wal-Mart to stock up on food to cook for ourselves. Truly, it began to feel like home the longer we stayed. easy access to golf and the pool was wonderful when you didn't want to deal with sand. There is a great gift shop on the bottom floor and the ease of access to all the things we wanted to do could not be overstated enough. you can truly see the care and attention to detail the owners up into the unit and making it unique. This was truly a vacation to remember.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Thank you, Heidi, for this thoughtful review. We are so happy you had a great time and hope it was the first of many that you will enjoy at Pelican's Perch. Can't wait to host you again! Joni

My husband and I took our four granddaughters to Florida for spring break this year. This condo was very charming and beautifully decorated. Our girls, ages from 6 to 13, all had a wonderful time exploring, swimming and dolphin watching from the balcony. It was furnished with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable! We definitely will return to this condo in the future. It was an excellent choice for our vacation!

Joni Newberg's reply:

Karen, Thank you so much for this wonderful review. It feels so great knowing our guests have enjoyed staying at Pelican's Perch and, of course, we absolutely love hearing that the way we chose to decorate it meets with such approval. How exciting the dolphins were so active for your, and your grandchildren's entertainment. Fortunately, we don't even have to pay them. We will look forward to having you visit the condo every opportunity you have. Again, we thank you for being 5 Star guests.

This condo was so beautiful and so comfortable! My husband and I loved everything about it! The ocean view was completely amazing! We will definitely book this condo in the future.

Joni Newberg's reply:

Angela and John, Thank you so much for your nice review. It was an honor to be allowed to host the two of you for your anniversary celebration. We definitely consider the two of you 5 star guests and hope you come back as often as possible. Thank you, again, Joni

We had booked our vacation for 907B the week of Oct 6 through the 13th. To begin with, the condo is, perhaps, the most serene and peaceful unit I've ever rented. Walking in the door and looking out at that fantastic view, then taking in the calm atmosphere that is 907B, told me it was going to be a fantastic week. Everything we needed, the view, pots and pans, flatware, towels, etc. were neatly in place. We settled in for a wonderful week on the beach. However, nature decided to mess it up when Hurricane Michael began heading in our general direction. The evening before it came ashore we reluctantly decided we should leave. The owner exceeded our expectations at that point by offering to pay for a motel in Fairhope, AL for 2 nights. When we left we were not at all sure we were coming back but decided that we would go back for the 3 nights left of our vacation. It was just too hard to not finish our vacation, especially since we had been treated so well. Walking back in the condo felt like we were home again. This will, most definitely, not be our last trip and when we return it will be to 907B. Oh, did I mention the view? Cheryl R San Antonio, Tx

Joni Newberg's reply:

Cheryl, thank you for taking the time to review our condo unit. We really appreciate the positive comments you made. So happy you enjoyed your stay. Look forward to renting to you again in the near future.
