Great place and location

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!
Pleasant stay

We stayed for two nights and were very pleased with the room and the fact that we could include our two little dogs. The only thing we would change about the room would be more surface space to put things down on. We were glad to have the complimentary breakfast at Camille's nearby. We also ate there for lunch both days because it was so convenient. After we checked out we were notified that we had left behind three shirts. Thanks to the staff we were notified and the shirts were mailed to our home. We are very satisfied with our stay and would return on our next visit to Destin!
Loved traveling with our pets - the room was great

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved the restaurant and location of the hotel. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We are anxious to come back in the spring when the weather is warmer.

I booked this room on short notice. The staff was very helpful and double checked to make sure that I had everything that I needed.
Sand and bugs
Reviewed on Thursday, September 16, 2010
This was a Hotel not a rental home. The location was great! just cross the street and you are on the beach, and it allowed our pet for a modest fee. no carpet, so sand everywhere (yes, we tired to clean off our feet and other items before entering the room.) first floor and a space where the door should have been sealed, thus creatures of a various kinds. The location to the beach was great, with bothroom and showers before you crossed back over to the hotel.
It was perfect for my needs

This hotel was a midpoint stop on my long road trip from Texas to Fort Lauderdale. I was traveling with a cat, and you accommodated me.
I could have had a cheaper accommodation nearer to the interstate, but for only a modest bump up I got a charming room, a good restaurant, the sound of crashing waves, and sand between my toes.
Well worth it.
The cat liked it too.
Great!

I would say we had a great time at the location. My nine-year-old granddaughter had not seen the beach so we look her for the weekend. The motel itself was in a great location, the room was clean, and the fact they accepted my dachshund was great. Only defect was the room needs a broom kept in there to help keep the sand out, due to no carpet being in the room (which was a good thing.) Never understood why rooms had carpet at the beach with all that sand. I would definitely stay at the Beachside Inn again.
We were not treated like valued customers.

The location of the resort is wonderful, being that it's literally 150ft or so to the beach access entrance. The quality of the rooms was very impressive. My fiance and I were very pleased with the night sleep we got on the very very comfortable bed. We really didn't want to leave, we didn't have a long vacation due to lack of funds, which is where the problem arose. We called to inquire about a room on a Sunday afternoon, we live in Atlanta and neither of us had been on a vacation in a couple years. We were on limited time and money, so we planned on trying to get down there that sunday night and stay until tuesday or wednesday. The lady that I talked to was nice, but I wasn't too sure on the need to reserve a room since it's the end of April and spring breakers had gone back to finish finals at school. Needless to say we reluctantly reserved a room, and this is in the afternoon, and were in Atlanta, and not packed. We didn't end up making it to Destin until Monday morning around 10:00 am. The lady at the front desk told me unfortunately there was nothing that could be done about the charge to our credit card. Pretty much, tough luck, but enjoy your stay. It left a sour taste in our mouths that we paid about 250$ to stay in a room for just that Monday night. I refuse to believe that nothing could've been done, they pretty much took a hundred bucks from us for convincing us we needed to reserve a room. There were several vacant rooms, they could've easily allowed us to stay Tuesday night as well. It would have been fair to us, we didn't have much money and the trip was supposed to be us getting away from crap like that. I loved the rooms and the location, but nice hotels are in adbundance in Destin, so as for my fiance and I, not that we'll be able to take another vacation for a real long time, but when we do we won't be staying here. It's unfortunate, I guess screwing good people out of their money is their mission statement.
Hmmm.....

The staff was very patient and courteous. The picture of the room on the web site is deceiving (can only speak of the one I was in); it was also a pet friendly room so not sure if that was a factor. The room was poorly maintained, really truly disappointing as I was looking forward to the tiles and the queen beds. I truly felt like I did not want to touch anything. I made a mistake of looking behind the bed to discover dog hair, dust and dirt that had obviously accumulated there for a long time. Just a poorly kept room.
The only plus, was the location...awesome...2 min walk before being beach side, left or right on the main drag for shopping or food. And again the staff was friendly and helpful.
I would return with a mop, broom and bleach for the location alone and if there was no where else to stay.
Manager's Response
Oh, I am appalled by this. I am Eunice the Innkeeper and I have called an emergency meeting with all of my staff to address this below standard service. Our Inn has a wonderful reputation of friendliness and cleanliness but somehow we missed something here. My sincere apologies! I will personally do my utmost to insure this does not happen again.

We stayed at the Beachside Inn across the street from, but mere steps to the beach. Perfect!! Service was superb. Both Donna & Eunice were kind, helpful and we are very appreciative. Room was nice and clean. Loved the pools, but wished the hot tub was a little more private. We would have used it but it was in front of the upstairs restaraunt. Since it is pet-friendly, we could bring the babies, and that made our stay so much more restful not to have to worry about them back home... and they LOVED IT TOO!! Wish the outside pet area was more protected, fenced in would be ideal! And i will ask for a full size coffee pot next time... because we will definitely stay there again!!! It is a delightful place at a perfect beach. Debbie & Dee, Dublin, GA
Bad housekeeping
Reviewed on Wednesday, July 22, 2009
The only time that housekeeping changed the sheets was if u called the front desk
and requested that ur sheets be changed. Which by the way we were not informed of
this upon check in. The floors were never swept in the room.The continential
breakfast wasn't worth getting. We were only allowed to have one item per person
with one glass of coffee, milk or juice. And if we needed something from the front
office after 6pm we had to wait till the next morning because they closed the office
down at 6pm every night. There was no security after hours either.

The beach side inn was all that we expected and more. Literally steps from the beach. Shopping was essentially was within walking distance. Food and coffee was just around the corner, or even right outside your hotel door. The area was quaint and quiet. The atmosphere was so New Orleans like! I am from new Orleans, and the ambiance was much like that of an Esplanade ave. bed and breakfast, except even better because the beautiful aqua marine colored waves were observable from the pool deck. To top it off, we were just elated that they invited our pets to join in on all the peace and serenity that was offered. The rooms were very nicely painted, and the beds were like heaven to sleep in. Donna and Eunice took customer service to a level that all businesses should strive towards. It was truly a magical place to get nestled into with your pets! We will most definitely be returning!

We were very pleased with The Beachside Inn.
We were looking for a place to stay where we could bring our pet. They were very nice and friendly and they don't over charge for having a pet.
The room was nice and it wasn't that far to walk to the beach.

In March of 2008, my fiancee and I originally planned to stay for 2 nights at The Beachside Inn in Destin, FL. The hotel was above our expectations for the price and one of the only pet-friendly hotels in the area. We brought our 3-month old Boxer, Maximus, and he had as much fun as we did! The hotel is a short walking distance to the beautiful and clean beach and many wonderful restaurants.. Probably the best restaurant we visited was actually on the property. We loved the property so much, we decided to stay an extra day, which the hotel was able to accomodate. We would definately reccomend this property to friends, family, or complete strangers for that matter and we will definately be back soon!
