The Henderson Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay! The staff were friendly and attentive, and I especially appreciated the variety of amenities, including the pools, outdoor spaces, gym, and games. The property was also within walking distance of a private beach, with complimentary chairs and umbrellas available, which made everything so convenient. Traveling with a toddler was incredibly easy because we rarely needed to leave the property. Having great food and everything we needed right on-site made it easy to relax, unwind, and enjoy our time together as a family. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be coming back!"

Hyatt House Destin

"Absolutely Amazing Stay! Our stay at Hyatt House Destin was amazing from beginning to end! Everything was wonderful, and we truly enjoyed our time there. The hotel was comfortable, welcoming, and gave us exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. One of the things I especially loved was the location. Being conveniently close to James Lee Beach Access made it so easy to enjoy the beach without having to travel far. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay at Hyatt House Destin again. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Destin! 🏖️🌊🕶️"

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beach house! The hosts were amazing from the very beginning. From the moment we booked the property, they were extremely responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with anytime we had a question.The property was exactly as described and gave our entire family plenty of room to spread out and enjoy our stay. We especially loved having the beach access directly across the street, which made getting to and from the beach so convenient. The location was also fantastic—close to plenty of restaurants, attractions, and everything we wanted to enjoy during our trip.The game room and all of the games provided were a huge hit with our family! We also loved how well the property was designed for multiple families or groups. The game room and theater in the second house was very well soundproofed, you couldn’t hear the noise at all in the upstairs bedrooms.Another major plus was all of the beach amenities provided. They had beach towels and almost everything you could need for a day at the beach, which was such a thoughtful and convenient touch.We truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay here again. We highly recommend this property and these wonderful hosts!"

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very nice place and very well stocked with kitchen items and beach towels. We went with 6 couples and everyone had their own suite and bathroom. We loved the pool area and it was a super close walk to the beach. The only issues we found were with the ovens and griddle top but maintenance came quickly to resolve the issues. We only wish there had been more comfortable seating in the living room besides the couch. We would definitely come back again!"
