Stunning Gulf Front Penthouse with Gulf & Bay Views, Arcade Room & Hidden Dunes
Hidden Dunes Penthouse 1700 Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey
Condo 1700 has an extended view from the row of windows in the living room looking out to the Gulf of Mexico from this corner condo.
Located on the 17th floor of the exclusive Hidden Dunes Gulf and Racquet Resort, this luxurious 4-bedroom, 5-bath penthouse offers panoramic Gulf views and a thoughtfully curated vacation experience for families, couples, and groups. With exclusive deeded beach access and daily in-season beach service (including two chairs and 1 umbrella), this is the perfect destination for both relaxation and recreation.
Tucked away on the sugar-white sands of the Emerald Coast, Hidden Dunes Gulf and Racquet Resort is a gated beachfront community offering a peaceful retreat just minutes from Destin’s best shopping, dining, and attractions. Guests enjoy a Gulf-front pool and hot tub, professional tennis and pickleball courts, community gas and charcoal grills, and convenient bike racks—all within a beautifully landscaped setting. With a 24/7 guarded entrance and free early access to amenities on arrival day while you wait for check-in at 4pm, this hidden gem strikes the ideal balance of comfort, security, and convenience.
Designed for comfort and style, this expansive residence blends elevated coastal living with family-friendly features. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, and the living room features a hidden TV lift to preserve the stunning view when not in use. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, complete with a coffee machine, Keurig, and bean grinder, plus everything needed for meal preparation. A custom wet bar with an ice maker and built-in ring wall game adds an element of fun to your stay.
Families will enjoy the Bonus Room with a 75" smart TV, four-player arcade game console like Golden Tee and Centipede, and a range of games perfect for all ages. Each bedroom is equipped with Roku TVs, USB charging ports, and ample storage. For little ones, two Pack ‘n Plays and a highchair are provided.
The spa-inspired primary bathroom features a rain shower, handheld wand, a bench, and a smart cut-out to warm the water before entering. All five bathrooms have been fully updated for a modern, spa-like experience.
Outside, the private balcony offers comfortable loungers for enjoying the Gulf breeze and unforgettable sunsets. Just steps away, explore nearby attractions including Baytowne Wharf, The Market Shops, and Bristrology. A short walk brings you to Silver Sands Premium Outlets with over 100 designer stores or enjoy a casual beachfront meal and drinks at The Beach House. Families will also appreciate the proximity to Big Kahuna’s Water Park, the Destin Harbor Boardwalk, and more.
Perfect for romantic getaways, family vacations, and seasonal escapes, Penthouse 1700 has earned rave reviews for its unique features, stunning views, and the ultimate blend of luxury, convenience, and tranquility.
Penthouse 1700 is part of the award-winning Hidden Dunes resort. Known for its tennis center, long stretch of deeded beach access, forested lodging and outdoor recreation areas, it also offers guests three pool decks and grilling areas, basketball court, kids play areas and fitness center. Behind its gates are acres of walking paths, lakes and fountains. However, this natural beauty is not also complimented by conveniences thanks to its proximity to two outdoor malls, myriads of restaurants and designer pro golf courses. Low or high tide, Gulfside 1700 will make your Destin beach stay go absolutely swimmingly.

Beautiful place and great location. Disappointing that only 1 out of the 3 sliding doors worked properly. The only one that worked was off the master and was ver disruptive to the people staying in the master. Overall great stay.

Awesome stay
The place was great! The only issue we had was with the dryer not working. The kitchen could have been more equipped. Only one frying pan and a few more things to cook with. Overall it was perfect
This condo was beautiful! So clean and well stocked. Location on the 17th floor had amazing views of the beach and the gulf. All rooms having their own bathrooms was perfect for our group. So much room for everyone to spread out. 2 tables to sit at to eat. Plenty of tvs. Having two balconies was also great for our group. The younger ones could hang out without the “old people”. There were luggage carts and shopping carts in the garage by the elevators and that was so helpful and well thought out. Access to the beach was so easy and close. We could run down for a little bit, run back up to room to rest or go run around then go back to beach again. The condo also had beach chair service that made it easy to just run down to the beach and not lug chairs out. Our only problem was my parents have trouble with stairs. I should have paid attention on the listing pictures and there are several one step areas to get around inside the condo. My parents did ok with them. Also be aware if you have someone with limited mobility the access to the beach here also has several steps. Overall I would highly recommend this condo! We will use them again if we go back!
Just left a weeks stay at 1700 Hidden Dunes. What a perfect trip and THIS was the perfect place for our family to stay. This was our first vacation with our adult children and two small granddaughters. There were 8 of us. We wanted on the beach, incredible views, space.....we had it all! Beautifully decorated, everything you need to cook dinners in if needed. Private beach area for those staying in Hidden Dunes - so beautiful. I will say that beach access would be difficult if you have guests with mobility issues. Many stairs to get down. Wonderful week!
We love it here and definitely come back to this place
We love to come back to this place

Freeman’s Tay @ the 1700 Penthouse Penthouse 2020 Stay1700
My family and I stayed at the 1700 Penthouse over this past weekend. It had amazing views. We loved how the rooms were spread out and the decor was fitting. Only issue we cld fuss about wld be the elevator. Only one was working and it was quite aggy having to wait so long. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and won’t hesitate to rebook when that time comes!
I dont ever leave reviews, but I have to tell you that if you are looking for a roomy, breathe taking, perfect location for a vacation, you will find it here!!! Trust me and just book it, you will not be disappointed. We will for sure be back!
It was all of ours first time to visit Destin; and for most of us to visit the Gulf Coast. It is BEAUTIFUL!! The accommodations were excellent. The few problems we had were: Internet password was incorrect and it took until Wednesday to get the correct work. This was a problem for the "younger" generation. One other thing was that the big, nice, jetted bathtub did not work. It should have been fixed before we got there. Other than that, and the construction on 98, we had a great time! Oh, you do need a ramp to get to the beach. The last 40 stairs were too hard on my 82 year old mother and she only made it to the beach one time. So it would be nice to have a ramp all the way to the beach! Thanks! We will be back!!!

We had a fantastic time for our family vacation. We had little ones and spent most of our time on the beach, in the pool, or at the condo. The condo had plenty of room for everyone to chill either together or away. Kids took naps while others read, cooked , and played. The views of the ocean were great. Thanks for sharing your condo.
