**The Pelican Beach HOA is undergoing an elevator modernization project. They are installing brand new elevators, so there may be periods of delays in using the working elevators. We appreciate your patience while they are making these improvements! **
**The Pelican Beach HOA is replacing the coat/seal on the upper floor and ramp of the parking garage, as well as both tennis courts. This project is expected to begin in December and last 3 months. During this time the upper parking garage, tennis / pickleball courts, and EV chargers will not be accessible. The covered parking garage will be closed in sections while they work overhead. We appreciate your patience while they are making these improvements! **
Welcome to “Starfish by the Sea” where the views are the main attraction! Our central Destin location is the best – you can walk to Big Kahunas, and we are within a quick walk or drive to everything fun to do in Destin! You can watch the summer fireworks right from the balcony!
