Description

The Pelican at Caribbean Resort - BEACH FRONT

The Pelican would like to welcome you and your family to our home away from home. We are located on Navarre Beach,FL best known as "Florida's best kept secret"!  Nestled between the hustle and bustle of Destin and busy Pensacola Beach, rests the layed back, family friendly barrier island of Navarre Beach.  Our 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo sleeps 8 and is located on the second floor of the Caribbean Resort. Our beautiful, crystal white sand is all that stands in your way of the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico!

Once entering our condo, the floor to ceiling windows in the tastefully decorated living room show off the breathtaking white sand and water of the Gulf of Mexico!  Our newly renovated kitchen has new appliances and beautiful quartz countertops. It is equipped with everything you need to prepare a home cooked meal. Our dining room table seats 6 and the ktichen bar seats 4.  Right off of the kitchen is what we call the "kids room" furnished with a full bed and two twin beds.  The master bedroom has a king size bed and boasts those floor to ceiling windows equiped with remote control blinds.  The master bedroom has an on-suite bathroom with a double vanity and a large walk in shower.  The adjacent guest bedroom has a king size bed and the second bath is located right off the bedroom.  The large TV in the living room as well as the TV'sin each bedroom are smart TV's so don't forget your streaming account information.  

After enjoying a beautiful, fun day at the beach, you can relax on our private balcony accessed by the living room and master bedroom.  Or you may prefer to relax in or by the pool - which is heated in the off season or in one of two hot tubs. If you happen to be an early bird, the sunrise off the balcony is SPECTACULAR and depending on what time of year you are visiting, the sunsets are just as mesmorizing!  

We are excited to offer our condo to you and your family to enjoy.  We try to think of things to help make packing for your vacation stress free.  We include all linens, including beach towels.  No need to pack or stop for beach toys, we have some of those too along with several beach chairs.

Some highlights of vacationing on Navarre Beach doesn't stop at the beach!  The Navarre Beach Pier – Longest Pier on the Gulf of Mexico is steps away: At 1,545 feet long and 30 feet above the water, the pier offers fun for the whole family.

Great place!    Jul 16, 2023

review star

We had an amazing time on our vacation. The condo was just as described and was great! All the additional little things (trash bags, tp, paper towels, etc.) made getting there and getting settled much easier. Natalie goes above and beyond and provides plenty of towels, beach towels and so many beach toys. We brought our own stuff but next time we stay we won't have to over pack. She even had a wagon and ice chest. It was a great condo and perfect spot on Navarre. It was our first time in Navarre and we will definitely be back. Our most favorite beach so far. Thanks for everything!!

I am so happy you all had such a great time! Come back soon!

Excellent Stay!    Jun 11, 2023

review star

We just returned home from a weeklong stay at the Pelican! The condo was exactly as described. It was very spacious and tastefully decorated. Our 5 year old son loved the pool, hot tub and family pool as much as the beach. Falling asleep and waking up to ocean views made for a very relaxing trip! The owner, Natalie was wonderful to work with. We definitely recommend staying here!

John and Natalie Childs's reply:

Thank you Angela! It was our pleasure having you! Please come stay with us again in the future!

Wonderful condo!    Apr 01, 2023

review star

Wonderful spring break trip -four moms and our teen sons! The condo had plenty of room and was very clean. Had everything we needed, including beach towels and some beach gear. And lots of washcloths, which seems to be a problem at most places we rent;) Beautiful views from the second floor balcony. Nice pool and 2 hot tubs. Older condo building but well maintained. Enjoyed walking to the pier and to get ice cream. Couple of restaurants in walking distance also. Natalie was wonderful to work with and was always quick to reply. Would definitely recommend The Pelican to anyone looking to vacation in Navarre Beach!

We are so happy to hear you all had such a great Spring Break! Thank you for your kind words. Come back for another visit soon! John and Natalie

This was our fist time to Navarre beach, loved the peacefulness and beauty of it. The condo was wonderful!! Clean, beautifully and tastefully decorated, attention to details. Beach towels were provided, nice to not have to pack that extra bulk. The view from the balcony and master bedroom was like a dream, loved it. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Natalie was an absolute joy to work with, very prompt, accommodating and kind we appreciate her so much. We hope to be blessed to stay again in the future, thank you!!

Wonderful Condo!    Aug 21, 2021

review star

I stayed at this unit and Navarre Beach for three weeks in August. I have nothing but praise for the whole experience. The condo was just perfect and the owners are just the best! It’s so much nicer dealing with an owner rather than a management company! I want to give a special shout out to Natalie … she was in communication with me and “talked me off several ledges” ?? throughout the buildup to and time of Hurricane Ida! I have to say, I never thought a hurricane would be part of my experience! ?? I miss Navarre Beach already and have made my reservations for four weeks this time, in 2022. And NOT during Hurricane Season! ?? Thank you so much, Natalie and John - from my whole family!

John and Natalie Childs's reply:

Stacy, you are such a pleasure to work with!!!! You were a trooper during Ida and thankfully, she stayed further West! We can't wait to have you back in 2022 and many years to come! :) Natalie and John

Luxury at its finest!    Aug 15, 2021

This condo was very spacious, clean and decorated beautifully. I have always been scared to rent a condo online, because you never know what you’re really going to get when you walk in the door. This condo was perfect and exceeded my expectations. The view from our condo was extraordinary and I absolutely loved the windows in the master bedroom overlooking the ocean. Everything was family oriented and Quiet. Will definitely be staying here again.

Thank you Tabitha! You all are welcome back anytime!!! :)

The View! Gorgeous!!    Jul 25, 2021

review star

My best friend and I brought our families here. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The owners were very accommodating and very thoughtful all the way around. There was plenty of room for our spouses and college-age kids. And the view!! Wow! The windowed walls in the master and living room were breathtaking. We rented a beach set-up, but there were plenty of chairs, beach towels and even beach bags - which was especially nice since we flew into Destin and didn’t have to pack all those things. We enjoyed walking to the pier. We had groceries delivered and only ate our a couple of times because nobody wanted to leave and we had everything we needed at the condo. A truly relaxing vacation. I can’t say enough good things!

Thank you Kimberly! We are so happy you all had such a great time! Please come back and see us!

Great condo!    Jun 19, 2021

review star

Navarre is like our second home and this condo was great! We didn’t have the best weather or water conditions, but we had a blast and enjoyed every second of our vacation! This condo is in a great location, clean, well stocked and beautifully decorated. The owner Natalie is the best! She was always quick to respond whenever we had a question/concern and checked in on us once we arrived. There was 8 of us- 2 families (4 adults and 4 kids) and this condo had the best bedroom/ bed set up. It’s so hard to find a condo with a kids room with enough beds and this condo fit the bill! We highly recommend the pelican!!

Thank you for taking such good care of our condo Lezlie! We welcome you all back anytime!! :)

Wonderful condo!    May 21, 2021

I’m so happy that this condo was available for a few days when 3 other retired ladies and I made our last minute search! It worked out perfectly for us, and the owners obviously pay attention to details. Classy furnishings, decor, and bedding, not a speck of dust anywhere, and even live plants and fresh flowers! We had a wonderful view and a great location- we were able to walk to eat at the Beach House grill at Springhill Suites (call about reservations), and Windjammers on the pier. I really hope to return to The Pelican!

Peggy, we are so glad it worked out for you and the other ladies in your group. You have been a pleasure to work with and I hope you come back to see us in the near future! Natalie

I seriously cannot say enough about how much we loved staying here! Everything about it from the lovely floors & rugs, the gorgeous & comfortable furniture, the beautiful bedding, the huge windows, the remote control shades, the security gates to the pool & beach, the lifeguards, etc. was perfect!!!

We had the opportunity for a last minute trip and this condo was available. Natalie was very responsive and nice in communicating. The condo was just as pictured, very clean and the beds were super comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook a few meals. Access to the beach and pool were great. We will definitely always check this property first when staying at Navarre Beach in the future. Thank you Natalie for letting us stay. It was fabulous!
