Yeah, they take pets! The price is right, the place is better than clean, looks new, well kept and the staff (Jessica) was very helpful and friendly. We will definitly come back and refer people. The location is right across the street to the beach. And Jessica refered us to Camille's, right on the property and a very good restaurant. Try the sushi!

This is not my first stay at the Beachside Inn and it continues to live up to my high expectations. The staff went above and beyond to be helpful, the rooms were incredibly comfortable and the price was great for the location. Speaking of, you can't ask for a better location!

We have driven by this hotel many times over the years when renting a condo on old scenic 98 (which is the only street that we want to stay while in Destin). This trip was only a couple of days in Destin so we decided to go with a hotel and remembered this cute place. The room was very large with a nice bathroom and very, very clean. The service was great and the location can not be beat. For short stays in town we will always stay at this hotel.
Quiet and convenient

Room was clean, plenty of linens. We were on the second floor, but there is an elevator. Could use more counter space near the microwave/refrigerator. Refrigerator very small, but adequate for 3 days. Movie library in rental office was meager.
Close to the main east and west roads, close to the beach, cafe and restaurant are adjacent to the rooms. Nice sidewalks and plenty of areas to walk the dog.
Unexpected room condition
Reviewed on Thursday, December 08, 2011
First let me say I have stayed at this property several times. So, I was very surprised to find a considerable amount of some type of debris on the floor. As I was a late check-in, there wasn't much to be done the night of my stay. This won't stop me from staying at the resort again as it is a very comfortable and convenient property. I feel certain this was an unusual and isolated incident as I have never encountered anything like it before.
A bit too loud for me.

The room was very pretty, but as far as privacy goes, the "curtains" didn't cover the entire window. This is scary when you're a single girl with a dog that is in demand. I did not leave my dog there because she couldn't stay in the room privately due to insufficient window coverage.
Speaking of privacy, I slept worse in that room than any other three hotels this month due to noise level (even after 11pm).
To finish up, I was dissapointed in the cleanliness. At first glance, it looked perfect, but, someone like me who notices everything, started to see some impurities. The bathroom floor had dog hair on it prior to my dog entering. The sheets, under the cover-between the fitted sheet and loose sheet, was filled with sand. When I mentioned it to the Saturday front desk woman she explained the comforter had no been shook out well enough. This insulted my intelligence, although I never let on my complete unhappiness. Plus, aren't hotels supposed to switch out and launder the comforters?
I actually felt dirty leaving the hotel.
Manager's Response
Thank you so much for staying with us and posting your review.
After reading the comments I was very surprised as I have never heard anything but praise from previous guests regarding room 210?
It is unfortunate that I did not learn of your discomfort and fear until I read your review. I would have most certainly addressed your issues. I have checked the draperies in room 210 and they do sit a little above the window ledge. They have since been lowered accordingly. No light can be seen from the outside. There has never been a safety issue at our Inn as we are located in a family friendly neighborhood. I am so sorry that you were in fear. Again, if you had brought your concerns to me or any other staff member, we would have gladly moved you to another room at any time of the day or night. We hold our cleaning staff to high standards and your comments were addressed to be assured that our rooms are spotless upon the arrival of our guests. I hope that your unpleasant experience will not deter you from visiting us again. The Beachside Inn team and I guarantee your next visit will be above and beyond your expectations.

I wasn't sure when I made the reservation what this place looked like. I was a little scared but ended up very impressed. We were moving and we needed a pet friendly place. It was so much nicer than I imagined and right across from the beach. The only downfall was that it was a little pricey.

This is just an old "motor inn". Kids next door kept kicking the wall until 10pm, garbage truck backing in @ 5am was not appreciated (this was an end of summer getaway weekend). Next day new people next door with two barking dog, this time the food delivery truck backing in at 6:30am. Like I said, it was "A" room-not "The" room. Breakfast was a muffin or cookie, again you're on the B&B; website. Other than the annoyance above, it was close to the beach.

big bang for your buck, check-in: not-so-great
Reviewed on Friday, October 21, 2011
I really did love this hotel. It's a little off-putting when you pull up to park, as the outdoor access to rooms gives the place a motel-feel, but once you're inside the room it's a totally different place! The guest rooms are so cozy and not overdone: it provided the perfect escape for one night. The size of the room was wonderful. I work for a hotel in New Orleans and our rooms that we charge $300 a night for are tiny in comparison! I love the little cafe and the free pastry and drink in the morning is a lovely touch. My friend and I utilized the motorbike rental the morning we checked out and enjoyed it thoroughly, and best of all, the hotel is located across the street from my absolute favorite spot on Destin's shores!
The only thing I found uncomfortable was the check-in process. I understand that it's a small property, but there should be a better option for guests checking in after employees have left for the day. Anyone else checking in late had access to my room number, name, and door code. The little locked cabinet is not a bad idea, but perhaps some more lockers could be installed where each guest checking in late had their own locker with their own code that gets changed daily. It didn't feel very safe... Seeing as nothing happened to warrant the worry, and the area is a nice one, this won't deter me from staying there again, but it is something to consider.
All-in-all, a wonderful place for the nightly rate. It's cozy and comfortable and not overstated. I absolutely adore your hotel! I'm so happy to have found this little gem!

Camilles restaurant at the Beachside is one of the top rated restaurants in Destin which we did not know and it I agree. The sushi bar has a large menu and it was some of the best we had ever had. The only thing we wish had been different was the fact that there was not a comfortable chair in our room.

We booked online after vary carefully checking reviews, and doing comparisons and other research. They didn't have great photos, so we were suprised by the fact that it is actually a motel.. not hotel.
The rooms were clean, the reception was very friendly. The problem was the onsite restaurant. Because of the traffic, the walkways were dirty and smelled like the back of a restaurant.
The employees hanging out by the pool, or in otherwise clear visual and smelling shot while on smoke breaks, wasn't ideal either.
On our second day the cleaning crew, did not bring us new towels, did not restock the coffee, soaps, etc, and only made one bed... very strange.
The free wifi didn't work in our hotel room, and there was no fix offered or investigated.
Upon being asked to review this room, they think we stayed in something called "idyllic 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath home". In fact we stayed at the motel that they also own... suggesting that they internal management system is lacking.
Overall, the site would have been fine, but the impact of Camille's restaurant on the hotel guests, coupled with the overall level of service was a bit of a downer.
Manager's Response
Thank you so much for posting a review for us. We love to hear from our guests in order to move closer to excellence.
I believe our houskeeping staff at the Inn are the "Best on the Beach"!. The only reason they would not make a bed is if there were personal items on the bed. They are not allowed. At any time during office hours extra supplies can be requested. If a do-not-disturb sign is placed outside of the door then the houskeepers will not enter. Otherwise rooms are re-stocked daily. There may have been an error, I cannot tell as I did not hear from you during your stay?
It is unfortunate that your experience was not completely satisfactory.
Employees smoking on or around the pool is unacceptable! Please accept our utmost apology. The situation has been addressed and hopefully will not occur again. Camille's management was also informed regarding smoking and cleanliness. Immediate action was taken.
Regarding our WIFI I cannot imagine that a guest would be ignored when facing an issue of any kind? Please contact me at your convenience as I would like to know more details. I am not aware of any guests experiencing WIFI problems that was not remedied?
Once again thank you for your review. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully serving you in the near future.

the room was pretty nice, very large and open and the bed was comfortable. however, at night we could hear our drunk neighbors through the door that can connect rooms if you had a family staying together. free breakfast in the morning was okay. we swam in the pool--it was nice but dirty with leaves floating in it--the pool cleaner guy showed up and started cleaning the pool--so we left. overall, pretty nice trip, not the best, but it's a nice location if you like the beach and the destin commons outdoor mall.
Relaxed!

We stayed here for our honeymoon. Very clean, neat room. Great for couples. Great location across from Crystal beach access and Destin Common mall. Very good restaurant "Camiles" on the second floor. Also good sushi bar too. Wish we would had gone to the pool. But enjoyed our stay. We wil be back. .
Good Service

Overall rooms and service were very good. The beds are wonderful!!! The mattresses were awesome!!! I slept so good!! Since I am not a smoker, I did not like the smoker tables near my door, but I know that you also have to accommodate smokers. With the after hours (I arrived there late--3:00am), I had to wake up the manager to help me with directions (poor manager---she sounded sleepy, of course). I think the operator should be able to help with directions instead of making a second call to the manager.
Great location, clean, perfect.

Pros: Right across the street from the beach. Big room. Very friendly staff. Restaurant was very good and right next door. Complimentary anniversary champagne was an unexpected surprise. Pool area was absolutely wonderful with an elevated view of the beach.
Cons: Parking during restaurant hours is tough. Reaching staff after hours is difficult if not impossible.
We will be back!!!
A very comfortable hotel stay with superlative accomodations
Reviewed on Wednesday, June 15, 2011
The Beachside Inn at Destin Floriday presented very nice and comfortable hotel accomodations. The Hotel is also co-located with a Cafe and a formal restaraunt- Camilles. The cafe and restaraunt provide very good food, a Sushi Bar, and a semi-formal dining environment at an extremel competetive price . The Staff were very polite and helpful, and the rooms were quite nice. Additionally, the hotel was very pet friendly. We travelled with two very well behaved american White German Shepards, and the hotel was quite accomodating.
I highly recommend the Beachside Inn when traveling to Destin Florida- with or without pets. My Wife and I will stay there again when visiting the area.
Looking forward to our next trip there!

My wife and I have stayed at the Beachside Inn for the last three years and love it! Last time we had an after hours check-in problem, I called the number and Eunice called me back at 3am, got us in our room, and had the problem with the door lock (it was a button that wasn't working properly) figured out and remedied before we got back from breakfast at the coffee shop. The whole staff there is great!!!!
Perfect getaway

This location is great, especially if you want to bring your dog. The room is spacious and very clean. I love the tiled floors and wood, not upholstered, chairs. The staff was friedly. The pool is very nice and clean. And, you are just yards from the beach. And, you can have lunch at the cafe and dinner at the restaurant right there at your hotel.
Nice place, we'll be back.

From the first moment we walk through the door the Beachside Inn made an impression. From the employees to the accomodations, they were friendly, fresh and well worth future frequenting. The fact that I recieved a phone call several hours down the road reporting some left jewelry with an offer to send it to me was what earned a top rating. I would have no problem recommending The Beachside Inn to even the pickiest person I know :~) I am having a difficult time getting the star rating system to cooperate with me...incase it does not work for me...five full stars!!!

I really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere, the service and proximity to the beach. There is one negative thing that I would have to say is that there was no parking space for us to park. I believe it was because of the restaurant and/or other factors and we had to park outside the rental property twice.
A gem!

On arrival,found no one in the office, and the key drop box open and empty. Called the contact # and waited for someone to bring a key. Room was fine and location was good. Never encountered an office worker until the last morning when trying to check out...computer system down. At this time,we received our coupons for the continental breakfast we were to have had for one of the 2 mornings we were there. Kind of late for that!
Manager's Response
Oh how unfortunate that this happened to such wonderful guests of ours. We most sincerely apologize for this incident. It was entirely our fault that the information packet was not in the late arrival lock-box.
Fortunately for our guests we have a system in place where no keys are required so were able to issue a code over the phone. We are thankful that we were able to remedy this situation promptly.
Thank you for the positive remarks about our hotel. We would love for you to visit us again and promise to take extra special care of you.
Please call toll-free anytime as I would love to chat with you: 1-888-232-2498.
See you at the beach!

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay. Eunice was absolutely great! The room overall was nice except that it had no comfortable seating, only a table and four Wodded chairs. There is no soundproofing between rooms and conversations were heard way too clearly.
Manager's Response
Thank you for your lovely review.
We are working toward purchasing more comfortable lounge chairs for our rooms.
Also we have soundproofed the adjoining rooms somewhat. Still a work in progress.
We do listen and will do whatever we can to make your stay even better when you return.
See you at the beach!

Liked the room, location by the beach, staff at restaurants and office. Only complaint is they say it includes a continental breakfast which is really just a roll and juice. Better than nothing but not what I would call a continental breakfast.

Central location with restaurant and nice coffee shop on the property. Loved to be able to take my little dog to the room and coffee shop. She was offerred water and a biscuit by a nice hostess. Only downside (that the hotel cannot control) is that there are no dog friendly beaches in the county...bummer! You face fines by the beach police.
What that means to me is that given a choice of this beach or St. George or Cape San Blas, Destin would lose my business.
If you are staying in Destin...this property is very clean and convenient.

We enjoyed our stay at the Beachside Inn, Destin, Fl.. The staff are friendly. The rooms were clean and spacious. The beds comfy. The hotel is across the street from the beautiful beach and near just about everything else we wanted. The biggest plus for us was their dog friendly attitude, as our dear yellow lab, who's over 30 lbs, was deal breaker for everyone else we contacted especially in the condo market. Thank you all for making our stay such a great experience.

Spring Break at the Beachside Inn
Reviewed on Wednesday, April 06, 2011
We are not your typical Spring Breakers. However, we were looking forward to spending time near Destin Beach. We needed a pet friendly hotel. This was our second time staying at the Beachside Inn and we loved it! It's like staying at quaint cottage.The rooms are large, clean and comfortable Not only did the hotel staff make us feel welcome, they made our dog feel at home and pampered. . The restaurant and cafe pulled in a crowd but it was not loud or rowdy. The Beachside Inn is the perfect location for us. It is across the street from the beach and a short drive to great shopping and entertainment. We did not want to leave but we had to go back to work so we can return soon. We can't say enough about the wonderful staff at the Beachside Inn. They called us when we left an item behind and promptly mailed it to us. We've never had that kind of service even when we've stayed at higher priced hotel chains. We think you will love it, too.
