Just Listed Terrace at Pelican 303
Just Listed: One of the Most Affordable Ways to Enjoy the Pelican Beach Resort Lifestyle in Destin
When buyers begin searching for a vacation property in Destin, many automatically focus on Gulf-front condominiums. While Gulf-front ownership certainly has its advantages, it often comes with a significantly higher price tag.
That's what makes this newly listed residence at The Terrace at Pelican Beach Resort so interesting.
This fully furnished 2-bedroom, 2-bath condominium offers many of the lifestyle benefits buyers seek from Gulf-front ownership—including private deeded beach access, resort-style amenities, rental flexibility, and a prime Destin location—while providing one of the most attractive entry points into the Pelican Beach Resort ownership experience.

Gulf-Front Lifestyle Without Gulf-Front Pricing
One of the questions we often ask buyers is:
"Do you want to own directly on the Gulf, or do you want access to everything that makes Gulf-front ownership enjoyable?"
For many buyers, the answer isn't always the same.
This property provides access to private deeded beach access, multiple resort pools, hot tubs, fitness facilities, tennis courts, pickleball courts, on-site dining, and gated security. Owners enjoy the same beach lifestyle that draws millions of visitors to Destin each year while often benefiting from a lower acquisition cost than comparable Gulf-front residences.
For buyers focused on balancing lifestyle and value, that can be a compelling combination.

A Flexible Property for Personal Use and Rental Income
Today's vacation home buyers increasingly want flexibility.
They want a property their family can enjoy while also creating the opportunity for rental income when not in use.
This residence delivers exactly that.

Professional rental projections indicate the potential for approximately $45,000+ in annual gross rental revenue, making it an attractive option for buyers looking to offset a meaningful portion of ownership expenses through short-term rentals.
Whether used as a second home, family retreat, vacation getaway, or investment property, the flexibility of ownership continues to be one of the condo's strongest advantages.
Views Beyond the Beach
While Gulf views often dominate the conversation in Destin real estate, some of the area's most beautiful scenery can be found elsewhere.
From the private balcony, owners enjoy views overlooking the resort pool, surrounding waterways, Destin Harbor, the Destin Bridge, and spectacular Emerald Coast sunsets.

The combination of harbor activity, passing boats, waterfront views, and evening skies creates a unique perspective that differs from traditional Gulf-front living.
It's a view many owners grow to appreciate more and more over time.
