Three Days Later: Our Gulf Pool Is Open Again
When the storm surge from Hurricane Isaias rolled through Pelican Beach Resort on Friday night, it did not stop at the dunes. Ocean water, sand, and debris poured across the deck and into the Gulf pool. By Saturday morning the water was murky, the bottom was buried under storm leftovers, and the pool looked like a small beach of its own.
Three days later, it is open again.
The resort’s maintenance crew and management team did not wait around. The pools were drained, sand and debris were hauled out, surfaces were scrubbed clean, and the water was refilled and rebalanced. It was fast, organized, and proactive from the first morning after the storm.
This afternoon, the Gulf pool was fully cleaned and reopened, just three days after the surge.
We are grateful to have a team like this looking after the resort. Owning vacation rentals here means trusting the people who care for the property when we cannot be there ourselves, and this week they earned that trust many times over. Storms are part of life on the Gulf. What matters is what happens next, and what happened next here was a crew that got straight to work.
If you are visiting soon, the pool is waiting. And the beach is right there beside it, doing what Destin beaches do best.
