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.

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.

Traveled down for a wedding on the beach. This is an older building, but has been somewhat updated and was clean. Similar to a Holiday Inn with a small refrigerator. Good value for a short stay. Included a free small breakfast...coffee and muffin that was delicious.

Great location, poor parking
Reviewed on Friday, July 29, 2011
Great location, right across from public beach access, close to restaurants and souvenir shops. Small, yet comfortable place to stay, housekeeping did a great job. Our only complain was the parking. Camille's restaurant is located in the same building and every time we drove off in the evening, we had a hard time finding a place to park when we returned. They should assign one parking spot per room to avoid the hassle of fighting for parking spots.

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.

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.

This was an emergency. We were moving away... the van was packed... the closing was delayed... and we had nowhere to stay with our darling little Yorkie, "Sassy." At 9:00 a.m., we were on the doorstep at the Beachside Inn looking for "one room, one night, with one dog." Eunice could not have been sweeter as she assured us she had just the room, and we could check in right then. The "pet friendly" room was charming: two big comfy beds, lots of space for us and our things, practical tiled floor for doggies that might have accidents, and so close to the beach that Sassy and I took several long walks to calm my frazzled nerves. We will return to the Beachside Inn every time we revisit Destin!
Privacy on the egde of all the ac tion!

Even though the Beachside Inn is locaed in the middle of Crystal Beach and lots of things to do, the way it is set back back just enough gives us sense of privacy. My boyfriend loves being able to bring our pooch. That makes him worry less and enjoy our trip with you folks. This was our 5th time staying there and we still love Camille's for at least one of the evenings for dinner. Our first year we ate there 3 nights in a row,. Why travel for excellent food and a view when it is right down the hall? We love the split pool idea and the juacuzzi.
Eunice is wonderful and alwasy had answers to our questions and responds to our needs immediately.
We will be back in June...can't wait.

I'll definitely be back! Staff was friendly, engaging and extremely courteous. Even my pet was invited in with a smile. Rooms were not only clean but had a welcoming decor, modern colors, tile floors - very appealing. Pool area was relaxing and well maintained. Neighborhood residents and natives frequenting the coffee shop had me feeling like a local. Sushi bar was the perfect way to spend the evening after a day at the beach. Location couldn't be better; a short stroll across a quiet street to the sands of Crystal Beach. Plans are already in the works for another return visit. It's unlikely I'll ever stay elsewhere when I come to Destin.

The only approprioate word is wow! This hotel is directly accross the street from a beautiful beach park. The room was large, comfortable, nicely decorated, and clean. There is a wonderful restaurant in the same building with seats inside and out. The pool is lovely and fun. It is a raised two level pool with a hot tub and waterfall feature. The customer service is impeccable. One street attached to the hotel is a rental business with kayaks, bikes and motor scooters. The location is somewhat secluded, however, two blocks away there are shops, a mall and many restaurants. Couldn't ask for more except, the price was almost half of the comparables! I would never stay anywhere else.

The room was clean and spacious, the beds and linens were very comfortable. The decor was nice except they were lacking a comfortable chair or sofa to sit on they only had a couple of wood desk chairs to sit on. Internet access was good and the showers were good and hot. The biggest draw backs: no balcony, there was a chair on the walkway outside the door and it smelled so bad because the dumpster was right there and the noise from the garbage truck at 5am was a big turnoff and the only view was the parking lot.

What a great place Beachside Inn is. It's location is fabulous. In just a 2 minute walk you're on the beach. The cafe for a quick bite for breakfast or lunch is fabulous. And all the staff is so friendly and helpful. Eunice and Donna were the absolute best! The fact that they accept pets at a most reasonable price is an added bonus for us. The room was large, including the bathroom, and the bed was very comfy. I would suggest either a comfortable chair or loveseat for the room. We'll definitely be back for another stay with Newman-Dailey properties and Beachside Inn.

This was a "mini getaway" for me for two days. I had not been able to get back to Destin for 20 years. My how things have changed! The Beachside Inn is the perfect place with a cozy, down home feel. There are so many skyscraper resorts there that I was overjoyed to find a simple, yet wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of the beach. The Inn is kept in immaculate condition. The rooms are clean, cozy, and very spacious with all ammenities anyone could need. The pool and spa are sparkling clean with an appealing decor. There are tables and chairs to enjoy a beverage at with a view of the amazing emerald ocean. Continental breakfast is included at the on-site coffee shop with a view of the ocean no less. The beach is literally about a hundred yards away and the street that is referred to is a tiny two lane road with virtually no traffic. The staff was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. The rates are fantastic. I plan on visiting as often as possible during the course of the year at stay at Beachside Inn. This time it certainly won't be 20 years before I return!!! Ha!
