My husband and I spent just one night but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Very spacious room with lots of storage for a longer stay. And the cafe' for a quick breakfast was perfect. We will be back.

The Beachside Inn had lovely furnishings and a convenient late check-in option. Pet-friendly was our requirement this time. It was great to be directly across the street from the Crystal Beach because we walked right over without having to move the car. Tile floors in the room were great for sandy feet. Beds were too soft for our liking. Great pool area too!
Perfect.

We loved our room! Clean and spacious. Very nice decor. The pool was perfect and the location was great for enjoying the beach and shopping. We stayed an extra day and are ready to return!
We always enjoy staying at Beachside every year.

We stay at Beachside every year and at different times...spring, summer and fall. The rooms are always extremely clean, the bedding neat and clean and plenty of towels. The pool and spa are clean and refreshing. We enjoy the dinner from the restuarant and breakfast and snacks at Camille's.
Absolutely wonderful!!!

Great location, good price, mediocre property.

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.

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.
very pleased!

ok, first off I found this hotel online. I have been to Destin several times and never stayed on the beach, so I wanted stay somewhere close. This Hotel was right across the road from a public entrance and it was great. Also I was nervous about the quality of the rooms because the price was very affordable.. and they were fantastic, very clean and beds super comfortable. We will Definately be back!! Thanks!

The accommodations were close to luxurious. The price was great for the location. Just a very short walk to the beach. Wish there was a bigger breakfast, but it was adequate.
Great last night weekend trip.

This was my 2nd time at the Beachside Inn and I was very pleased with my room and the location. It was very quite and relaxing and I enjoyed the pools as well as the beautiful beach. The walkway, accessing the beach, is nice and provides an easy walk across the sand.
Good, clean basic beach hotel room

Pros: Comfortable beds and bedding, close to the beach, free coffee/danish from the attached restaurant, courteous and helpful staff
Cons: Very dark in the room--especially in the vanity area; I had to go outside to check my makeup because I couldn't see how it looked in the mirror. Key codes were changed before the 11:00 check-out time, so we were locked out while trying to load our car.
Manager's Response
Thank you so much for your review. Any concerns that you have are also our concerns.
I just wanted to let you know that we have changed every light in every room with fluorescent bulbs to improve the brightness and ambiance.
Departure codes have now been reset to adjust to daylight savings time.
We hope to see you back at the beach soon.

Beachside Inn is a nice quiet place to stay. It's convenient to everything. It was nice to have a restaurant there at the hotel, although it was a little pricey. I would definitely recommend this to someone who is on a tight budget.
Pleasant stay

Our family wanted to spend a "night" on the beach coming home from Arkansas. Being that we were traveling on a Friday night to Destin, there were not many places available. Fortunately Beachside Inn had a cancellation! The room was nicely decorated, roomy, and a comfortable night's sleep. The teens enjoyed the overflow pool/jacuzzi design while the overlook onto the gulf was a beautiful picture. Parking was a little tight so we left our vehicle and walked 1/2 mile to check out dining options, it added to the "beach feel". Other than several phone calls and messages to get a confirmation, we enjoyed the service and stay. Beachside is not "on the beach" but just across the street from a public entrance with facilities. Very convenient!
happened upon it by accident

Happened upon the Beachside Inn by accident. The manager was very pleasant and very helpful in getting us checked in. The room was not quite ready, but the kids needed to use the restroom and she personally took them upstairs to the room so that they could use the restroom. She also got us some blankets for the room.
The room itself was unusually large. More than enough room to turn around in without hitting someone or bouncing into the furniture. The pillowtop mattress's were very comfortable. Our little 6 year old was could not get upon the bed with out using the cooler as a step. The room also had a fridge and microwave as no additional cost.
The location was directly across from the beach, with their own pavilion with picnic tables, restrooms and showers. Several of the larger chain motels, ea. Hampton Inn and Ramada Inn--their beach access was anywhere from 2 blocks to 6 blocks down the road.
Great place for the kids.

We had driven by this place many times while in Destin, FL. It is close to everything, yet quiet and laid back. When the kids and teenage grandkids visited Destin, we suggested the Beachside Inn.
Great choice, clean, quiet, easy access to beach, huge room with all the amenities. Extra large bathroom. Helpful staff.
We recommend the Beachside Inn to all our friends looking for a Destin overnight experience.
The price was right, too!
Wonderful

Our stay was wonderful. The location is perfect, just within walking distance of the beach (three minutes). The staff was courteous, kind and efficient. We are looking forward to staying at this property again. The only thing that would make the rooms better would be a larger refrigerator. Other than that, our stay was very enjoyable.

We stayed at the Beachside Inn in mid August.
We usually stay at the Hampton, but found Beachside and are really glad we did. The office
staff were really friendly and helpful. There's a restaurant on site which makes for convenience. What we really liked was the proximity of the beach to the hotel, directly across the street. We could sit at a table and overlook the beach which we did. There's a nice pool area and hot tub which we used.It was maintained while we were in it which let us know Beachside cares about the ph balance of the water, and keeps EVERYTHING clean. The room was super comfortable and also very pleasing to the eye. Everything was clean and up to date, and quite frankly we didn't want to leave. Its right down the street from the Destin Commons, so we were close to everything we love about Destin. We're planning on returning as soon as our work schedule allows. We would stay nowhere else now that we've discovered this. I cannot recommend this place enough.
Please keep it a secret!!

The Beachside Inn is the best kept secret for clean, comfy, affordable accomodations in Destin!! PLEASE don't let that get around!!
From the beachy feel of the tile floors to the most comfortable bed I've ever had in a hotel setting, the accomodations are unbeatable.
This was my second time to stay here in 2008 and believe me, I WILL be back! Cookie cutter highrise hotels don't offer the charm that Beachside Inn provides.
Having the option of a pool & hottub or walking just a few steps to the most stunning beach in the U.S. is also a tremendous plus.
My daughter and I loved having breakfast al fresco every morning at the Crystal Beach Coffee Company conveniently located right on the property. Fresh pastry and delicious coffee were the perfect compliment to people watching and enjoying the morning breeze.
Needless to say, I can't wait to come back!!
