Pelican's Elbow - Private Pool, Free WiFi in Destin

It's time to kick off your shoes, relax and get away from everyday.
And The Pelican's Elbow in Destin is the vacation home to help you
do just that. It has everything you need for that relaxing week at
the seashore, including a large private swimming pool and patio -
great for morning coffee instead of a morning commute.

The home is located on a quiet street in a private gated community,
close to the beach.

Don't be crammed into a cramped condo. This beautiful home with its
nautical decor is perfect for large families or groups. You have
room to stretch out -- 2020 sq. feet (largest floor plan in the
neighborhood) -- with large living/dining room, four bedrooms and
two baths, full kitchen, and a spacious family room. All bedrooms
and baths are on a single floor - no stairs to deal with.

The spacious Master bedroom features a king size bed, TV/VCR/DVD, a
private bath with soaker tub and shower and a huge closet. The
Kahuna and Palm Bedrooms both have queen beds, TV/VCR and alarm
clocks just in case you don't want to sleep in. The Twin bedroom
features two twin beds and TV/VCR. All bedrooms have a ceiling fan.
There are queen sleeper sofas in separate living and family rooms. A
Pack-N-Play type crib and a single rollaway bed are available.

The large back yard is fenced for privacy and security and features
a patio with picnic table, umbrella and large gas grill. You will have
your own 10,000 gallon swimming pool with tropical landscaping. 
The pool is "L-shaped," 28'1/2 feet long by 9 feet wide, with the
small part of the L adding an extra 4 feet of width.

The white-sugar-sand beach is a short stroll away and dining,
shopping and amusements are close at hand. You can swim with
dolphins, cruise the Gulf, parasail, kayak or partake in any of
dozens of other nearby activities.

At the end of a great day in the sun, you can enjoy the family room
with high-definition TV/VCR/DVD and selection of books, videos and
family games. Free high-speed Internet is provided.

Kick back, soak up some sun and work on your tan (or lounge in the
shade) and enjoy life at the Pelican's Elbow.

No Smoking. No Pets.
