About Pelican Beach Resort

Pelican Beach Resort stands at 1002 Highway 98 East in Destin, the address Florida's corporate registry carries for Pelican Beach Resort Owners' Association, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation the state shows filed on January 7, 1997 and still active, with annual reports on file through 2026. The Okaloosa County Property Appraiser plats 339 residences on the resort's parcel, dates the structure to 1998, and files it in the appraiser's central Destin group. The same county list carries the associated Terrace at Pelican Beach as its own condominium parcel, dated 1999 with 94 platted residences, so the resort name reaches two separate records rather than one. That combination is what should shape the questions a buyer asks here: how an association funds reserves across a residence count that deep, what its master policy carries on a building of this age, and where the structural inspection record stands. Vacation use adds one more, since the city of Destin operates a registration program that a short term rented unit at this address would sit inside. None of those answers appear in listing copy, so put the association's current operating budget, its insurance summary, and its reserve study at the front of the diligence file.

Pelican Beach Resort is governed by the Pelican Beach Resort Owners' Association, a Florida not-for-profit corporation on file with the state since 1997. What the assessment charges and what it covers is a question for the association's own current documents, so have the budget, the policy summary, and the reserve study in hand before you underwrite the purchase.

Rental Policy

Short-term rentals: allowed. Confirm the current minimum stay and registration with the association.

Public records for Pelican Beach Resort include a state filing for its owners' association, a county property record and the city's registration page. None of them gives a minimum stay, a guest cap, or whether the declaration allows renting at all. Ask the association for the recorded declaration. Ask for the rental rules it enforces today, too. A Pelican Beach Resort unit rented for short stays must go through Destin's city registration. Check where the unit stands before you plan on renting.

Building Answers

Pelican Beach Resort FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Pelican Beach Resort?

As of November 11, 2026, the 8 Pelican Beach Resort condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list HOA fees from $910 to $995 a month, with a median of $952 a month. Fees vary with unit size and type, so the fee for a specific residence is the one its listing and the association state.

Which corporation governs Pelican Beach Resort?

Pelican Beach Resort Owners' Association, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit corporation. The state's corporate registry gives its document number as N97000000065, shows it filed on January 7, 1997, lists it as active, records its principal address as 1002 Highway 98 E in Destin, and shows annual reports on file through 2026. What that record does not carry is a dollar figure: the assessment, and what it pays for, come from the association's own budget, which belongs in your diligence request.

How many residences does Pelican Beach Resort hold?

339, on the Okaloosa County Property Appraiser's platted count for the resort parcel, in a structure the same record dates to 1998. The appraiser carries the associated Terrace at Pelican Beach separately, dated 1999 with 94 platted residences, so check which parcel a listing actually sits on before comparing it against anything. A count that deep spreads shared costs widely, and it also means a large building with a long maintenance history behind it.

Are short-term rentals allowed at Pelican Beach Resort?

No public source gathered for this page carries the association's recorded rental rules, so this page draws no conclusion about them. The separate civic requirement is established: the city of Destin runs a registration program that a short term rented unit here would have to satisfy. Obtain the recorded declaration and the rules the association currently enforces, then confirm the unit's registration standing with the city, before relying on rental use.
