Your Perfect Vacation Spot

What makes a vacation in Destin, Florida so enticing?

There are lots of vacation rental homes at the beach, but a Destin vacation is unique because of our sugar-white sand beaches and the brilliant emerald green water of the Gulf of Mexico. Destin combines world-class amenities and small-town living, offering tons of dining, shopping and entertainment options.

Return Customer!

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at this property and each time is better than the last. It is starting to feel like home which makes it hard to leave. The house has everything you need for your stay and it is located close to so many great activities. We can’t wait to get back there for a 4th time!!

Excellent Property!

I love this property. The back yard is very nice and is where we spend most of our time with the kids and grand kids. They love the pool and the fenced back yard is perfect for the dog. The walk to the beach is about 10-15 min depending on your pace and we are back and forth multiple times throughout the week. The house is well stocked with towels, beach towels and linens. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well supplied. The house is close to shopping and tourist attractions. The owner is very nice and easy to work with. We have rented this house the past three years and plan to return next year.

Great Family Spot!

We had a fabulous time! The house is really well equipped if you have a family. Board games, beach and pool toys.

Perfect Vacation!

Great, clean home with a perfect pool close to a private (but shared) beach. Everything needed was furnished, except for food. *Hint = Bring your own spices. Beds are very firm and if you’re picky about your pillow, bring your own. Home is close to everything! The owner is a jewel. Easy to contact and just a nice guy in general. Looking forward to next year!

Wonderful Stay!

We had a wonderful time in Destin staying at the Pelican’s Elbow! Ron was a great host- very informative and helpful. The home exceeded our expectations. It was well equipped with everything from a pack n play to dishwashing detergent to beach chairs & umbrellas. The walk to the ocean was only a few blocks away and it was a comfortable walk. We hope to return to the area and stay here again!

Exceptional Home!

This was the perfect place for our vacation, fenced yard for the pups, private pool, clean gorgeous house, comfortable beds and living room furniture, great location for beach and other activities. On top of that Ron gives you a very helpful orientation when you arrive and has a book that not only tells you what is around but also gives info and opinions about it if he has been – that’s invaluable for those of us that have never been there. My family is already discussing what week next year we want to book the Pelican’s Elbow!

Awesome Vacation Home … Doesn’t Get Any Better!

Ron’s home is wonderful! He is so easy to work with! Everything was super clean and my dog loved the fenced in yard. The beds are particularly great with Memory Foam mattresses. It is only 2 blocks from the beach. Two fun restaurants right around the corner. The neighborhood is very quiet. Pool is clean and nice. Ron responds to inquiries right away and returns emails quick. I cannot think of anything negative.

Great vacation!

The Pelican’s Elbow was a wonderful vacation home. The gated community was very quiet and close to the beach. The home was spacious and the property was very clean. It was perfect for our 2 small dogs and it was much more affordable than other properties with the same specifications. We will keep this property in mind for future trips.

Helpful, kind owner.

I contacted the owner to book a week at this house. Our week was already booked. The owner was unlike management companies. He referred me to home owners in the same area that had a similar home to his. We booked one of those thanks to this owner. He also sent me tips for our wheelchair bound grandchild. I have not previously found this kindness in my search for a home on Miramar Beach. So grateful for a man with a good heart. Thank you, sir.

Awesome place. Very clean.

Accommodated the whole group well! Ron was very helpful and the house was wonderful. Would stay here again for sure!

Amazing stay!

The house was amazing, very spacious and clean and well kept. Ron was very thorough with the expectations and information about Destin, giving us lists of restaurants and personal recommendations of nearby restaurants. Very good vacation house!

Beautiful home close to the beach.

The location is perfect. You are about 2 blocks from the beach, a very nice walk. The house is just beautiful inside with everything you could possibly need. It just feels like home when you walk in the door. It is beautifully furnished, and the L shaped pool is just amazing. There is a nice table and grill poolside and lounge chairs along the pool. The bedrooms all have memory foam mattresses for a wonderful night’s sleep. We will definitely make plans to visit beautiful Miramar Beach again and rent this house from Mr. Larsen.
