Location was great, condo was very clean and the view was amazing. We travel with our kids and don't eat out much and like that there were grills on site..only 1 of the 3 grills actually worked and we ended up having to wait for other guests to get done which delayed our dinner for over an hour. Condo didn't have any BBQ tools either so we had to improvise and use forks. Love having washer and dryer but no laundry basket anywhere. Also maybe an extra pillow, blankets and towels. There are no extra linens at all and the nights were chilly, we used our beach towels as extra blankets on the beds.
Fantastic condo, more fantastic staff.

We have stayed at Hidden Dunes several times. Usually in 705,this year 1305 was very comfortable but with my husband tripping and falling in the condo, and a trip to ER the staff you have in your office and the security persons were way above expectations. We have discovered my husband has a spine problem we would never have found until it could have done him in. Because he needed to rest 2 days before travel, Kirby, Betty Laurel and Laura made our stay extend so he could recover from his head injury. The gate security was excellent to us. You have a staff you should be proud of. Tell the owners they are working with the correct rental staff. We will be back.We lived in Ft walton in '70's

Newman-Dailey made planning our holiday a real pleasure. Their site is clear and easy to follow and the staff was so helpful answering any and all of our questions. The condo 603 was wonderful. It was bright, roomy, very clean, and the view from the balcony allowed us to enjoy both the sunrise and the sunset. The beach is miles of white sand and there is plenty of golf and tennis available to enjoy. The shopping is great with factory stores right across the street. Newman-Dailey had socials planned to learn about the area and meet people. We enjoyed the heated pool and amazing ocean colors. Health issues cut our stay short but the staff at Newman-Dailey(Kate and Donna) treated us like family and helped us so much. We will definately go back when possible and had no complaints with the condo at all.Enjoy!
A nice, well equipped unit in a wonderful location.

We were delighted to find that the unit was carpeted, it is much quieter, easier to keep clean, easier on the feet and great for practicing putting(!) The only thing we would like to see changed is the TV. A flat screen HD model would be wonderful. The cupboards were well equipped although we did have to buy a new toaster to accomodate the larger slice size from our breadmachine. We have been coming to the Hidden Dunes and staying in the Gulfside tower for over 20 years and this was one of the best years.
Fantastic views and condition

Well kept and updated. One of the best. Enjoyed the views from the balcony. Weather was great this winter. This location is much quieter that most areas in Destin area but still a great location for resturants and shopping.

We had a nice stay. The Newman Dailey people were excellent and helpful. The area has something for everyone. The room itself was clean, but somewhat dated. There were some broken blinds and the ever present (in most rental places) mirrored closet doors that squeak and come off the tracks easily, The appliances were fine and the furniture was decent. There was no cable in the guest bedroom but there was a small TV. Had to buy light bulbs as the ones in the sockets were 40 watt. Kitchen was very well equipped.Too cold to swim in regular pool, but heated pool was a short walk and nice. Grounds were very nice and well maintained as were the outdoor grills. The hot tub was closed and never worked while there for five days. Workout facility was fine.
Only area of significant need was the management middleman group (not the property managers) that handled reservations for golf, dolphin cruise, mini-golf etc. Was like pulling teeth and extremely time consuming to do something as simple as book a tee time (30 minutes) or a dolphin cruise.
Overall, solid trip and very nice property management company.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Destin primarily because of this condo. We felt at home for our entire duration and enjoyed waking up to the sounds of the beach (and the sights as well).
Great family spot with an ocean view and a fair price!

Hidden Dunes is the perfect place to stay if you want to be on the beach but you don't want to spend a fortune. The condo was decorated nice but wasn't over the top. My kids liked the tv and the stereo. I liked the king bed in the master and the ocean views. I would have liked 2 queen beds in the second room instead of doubles. The kitchen and bathrooms were average but still fine for the week. They were clean and that's the most important. There was a table and chairs outside on the balcony but not the most comfortable or updated either. Overall, I still love the area , the private beaches, the family atmosphere, the clean, comfortable condo, the beach views close to golfing or groceries, and the fair price. It's not luxurious but It's very nice and that's why we keep going back!

A buddy of mine and I stayed at Hidden Dunes for spring break during our second year of medical school. We were not disappointed. There is a ton to do in Destin including scuba, sailing, great beaches. There are many excellent restaurants particularly for seafood and bbq (Lillie's On Pig's Alley, which is directly across the street, is particularly good). There are mini-golf courses, batting cages, and go-carts if you either have kids (which I don't) or you want to reconnect with your inner child (which we did :) )
Hidden Dunes is a fantastic place to spend a week on the beach regardless of whether you are a couple looking for a romantic getaway, a family with kids, or college students looking for relaxed spring break.The resort provides many amenties including tennis and basketball court, a small gym, pool, hot tub, and direct access to the beach. The unit itself is equipped with a full kitchen, dishwasher, washer/dryer and a family room with a large tv with VCR/DVD player.
Unit 1503 overlooks an amazing view of the water and Destin's famous white sand--not to be missed.
In short, Destin is a great vacation town and Hidden Dunes is a good place to see it from. Highly recommended.

Perfect easy family vacation.
My family has been going here for years and love this place. This unit has everything you want for a vacation stay. There's laundry and the kitchen is well-equipped. The master bedroom and deck have fantastic views right over the Gulf. Hidden Dunes has all the amenities you'd want such as tennis, basketball, multiple pools, private parking, walking trails, even a tram. The tram is great for my grandma who could still go for a walk and then wait for a tram when she was tired. Silver Sands is right across the street and the restaurant and bars are all really close. So there's always something for my brother and me to do at night. We all love walking on the beach, as well as through the complex which is really beautiful. A great place to stay. The complex is beautifully designed because it feels so peaceful with the trees and fountains. Lots of great, safe places for kids to explore. Yet you are right in the middle of everything!

This is a great unit. The location can't be beat because it is right by Silver Sands, and all the restaurants in Destin. It is easy to go out. At the same time Hidden Dunes has a beautiful setting with lots of trees and walking paths with fountains and pools. This particular unit is on the 15th floor, right over the beach! The views are amazing. Plus it has everything you need in case you want to stay put.

We stayed in two condos at Hidden Dunes and were very very pleased with the condos. The views from the balconys were amazing to wake up every morning to see the sun on the water. We got to sit right on our balcony and see 3 fire works displays, it just didn't get any better. The carpets in one of condos could use a good cleaning but everything else was great and clean. The Hidden Dunes community is beautiful. It is a great place to take a walk, ride a bike, play tennis or just walk on the beach. The beach service that Newman-Dailey provided was awesome. You just walked out your door in the morning and the beach chairs were ready and waiting. Couldn't imagine a better, more relaxing vacation anywhere.

This has been our 2nd stay in condo 1005, and our 4th stay at Hidden Dunes. Despite some bad luck with the weather we did have a nice week here enjoying the Gulf, the swimming pool, and this nice well appointed condo. There was some hours of sun each day. We enjoyed watching the dolphins, sea gulls, pelicans, fish and other wildlife from the balcony. Sometimes after a rain storm the light was such a yellow-green tint that we could easily see down in the water from the balcony and could see large fish swimming. This is our 8th annual vacation to the Destin area in the last 13 years and this is the only time the weather did not cooperate. We hope to return again in the near future.
