Inn on Destin Harbor, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Always a great place to stay! Friendly staff and great location"

Village Inn Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was good . Staff is nice."

Harbor Suites at Harborwalk Village

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and spacious. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was missing the keurig, one call to the front desk and they put one in. The room has a balcony, we asked for umbrella since it was direct sunlight but they said they do not have one. We did not pay for breakfast, it was pricey. There were a lot of options around the area for food. I was disappointed that there were no robes and slippers provided. The aircon was great. There was a $100 property fee. It covers the amenities such as the pool which for this size property was quite small. We did not use it because we enjoyed the beach. The property fee includes a free ferry ride to private beach which includes chairs and umbrellas which actually makes up for the small pool. Beach umbrellas and chairs vost around $60 on beaches, it was included for free. The beach area was nice and secluded. There was a boat that served drinks and food, a little pricey $23 for a drink but we indulged. The room was located on Harborwalk, was not bothered by the noise. We enjoyed our stay."

Beach view condo, serene view of East Pass, walk to beach on Holiday Isle

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! The place was super cozy, clean, organized, and had everything we needed for our vacation. We really appreciated that they provided pretty much everything you could need for a beach day—beach chairs, umbrellas, floaties, kids’ beach toys, and even bicycles.Having a garage to park in was also a huge plus and gave us some extra peace of mind. The neighborhood and surrounding area were very nice, quiet, and private, which made the stay even more relaxing.Overall, we really enjoyed the place and felt very comfortable during our stay. It was well equipped, well taken care of, and made our beach vacation that much easier. We would definitely stay here again!"

Beachfront Condo, gorgeous views, beach access & close to everything

8/10 Good

"Must start with amazing view! Just what the doctor needed! From daybreak viewing of charter boats and such leaving the harbor, all day boat activities and beautiful view of the sand and sea, to a beautiful sunset and breeze! Condo was clean and just as pictured on site. Only downside was that it is THREE flights of stairs to get to condo and that is NOT mentioned in description. It would have been nice to know before we drove up. Also, parking might be tricky if more than one large vehicle. It is about a 10 minute walk down the street to the public beach but it is a nice beach and boardwalk or you can drive and park for 20/4hours. We also used the water taxi to go across the harbor to enjoy evening on boardwalk and dinner. Was fun experience and gave us a chance to be on the water. Again, 10 minute walk to meet them but we love being out and walking."

Sleeps 12! Pool, Hot Tub & Cabana-Rooftop Tub, Steps 2 O'Steen Beach/East Pass B

10/10 Excellent

"Great house. AC is great also. My only complaint is there is no direct beach access. You can walk between other houses out to the beach, no sidewalk. And the beach is almost like a saltwater lake. Days 2 and 3 we booked a spot and drove to Henderson State Park Beach, which is type of beach we wanted."
