You have sand, humidity, age, and stains everywhere - recipe for disaster in terms of this carpet. I hated having to wear shoes inside our room due to being grossed out. While in the bedroom, i had a cockroach crawl over my foot, and I was incredibly disgusted. The facility is obviously older, but the carpet situation needs to be addressed for sanitary reasons. Other than that, great beach access, and private chairs/umbrella are provided. Helpful staff, and great balcony view. Everything else was clean.

My family has been going to these condominiums since we first started vacationing to Destin in…read more1997. Throughout the years I've stayed in almost every condo on the first floor, and 209 and 211 on the second floor. Every time it has been wonderful. Check in is at 4, which is kind of late. But if you show up early and your room has already been cleaned and inspected they will almost always allow you in. The front desk staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I've never had a bad experience with them. They always greet you with a smile and are super kind. Almost every condo has a king size bed, 2 bunk beds, and a pull out couch, so you can easily fit 6 comfortably. There is a full kitchen with cookware, 2 bathrooms, and one shower. From the living area there's a back porch that overlooks the gorgeous powder white sand and emerald coast. You're provided with 2 chairs and an umbrella. On the first day you go to the beach you can reserve your spot for the week so I would recommend getting to the beach early the first morning. There's also a pool and hot tub in the complex for when you need a break from the beach. One huge plus of staying here is that there is only 3 stories. The beach area behind Destin Beach Club is reserved for only residents so the beach is never overly crowded at this condo. Since you're right on scenic highway 98, you're close to everything there is to see and do in Destin. There's a plethora of restaurants, souvenir shops, and shops. You're also right next to the Destin harbor and all the new things it has to offer. Because of the great staff, amenities, view, and less crowded beach area, I would definitely recommend Destin beach club to anybody who is traveling down to Destin. Absolutely love this place, so many happy memories. Can't wait to be back!

There was great communication from the start all the way up till the time we left. It accommodated our party of four just fine. The unit itself was immaculate and the décor gave off big time beach vibes. The condos are located right off 98 with easy access to all the restaurants and stores nearby. It is also walking distance to their own beach access which was awesome and we used it daily. Unfortunately, the weather was a little chilly so we didn't brave the big, cool pool. We did take advantage of the smaller pool next to the beach. Overall, this was a great stay for us and I would come back again!

Breakfast was wonderful each morning and the staff was so genuine and quickly learned every guests requests. Lunch was a nice boxed lunch and soup from Honey Baked ham. You make your selection the night before. Loved not having to come off the beach to dress for lunch. Best of all was the outstanding service and attention to detail. The use of the spa at the sister resort was a nice addition. Many reviews comment on the condition of the rooms. Remember this is a Bed and Breakfast. It is not a new, shiny resort. That is across the street. Do they deal with moisture issues that plague wooden shingles on the shore? Yes The Henderson is a quaint, older bed and breakfast on the beach with service you won't find in many resorts. It is well maintained and clean. We hated to leave and can't wait to return

We booked two different rooms based on what they had available. The first night we booked their…read moremost expensive room, the presidential suite and the second and third night we booked the queen Juliette balcony (as this was all they had). When we arrived, no one asked us if we needed help with our luggage. We made our way to the Presidential Suite and it was filthy. The room size was massive but they clearly never cleaned it well. The couches and carpet all stained, the vents had 1 inch layers of dust all over, the fan was covered in dust balls and dust layers, some vents were falling out of the ceiling with no screws, the tile floor cracked, carpet has nails popping through and there is dirt and dust all over the floors from not being vacuumed or cleaned. There was also a huge roach on the floor which didn't add for an additional touch. It's Florida so I'm trying to be accepting of palmetto roaches but it wasn't cool finding that on your already filthy $1000 room floor. We were incredibly disappointed. For over $1000 this is not what we expected. We did share this with management and our next two nights we were supposed to stay in the queen room, was then adjusted to the king room. While the king room was definitely much cleaner, this room was also hundreds of dollars less in value. It's just very disappointing to pay over $1000 to have a room you can't sit on the couch, or walk the floors without your feet covered. Aside from the room, we also had a pretty awful breakfast experience. Eggs cold, and my husband's avacado toast was missing the egg. We sent it back and it was fixed but that lost our trust in the restaurant so we ate out instead. Our experience with the rental chairs on the beach was not good the first day either. The guy told us there were chairs set up, we walked over and there wasn't. He didn't offer to add anymore, so my husband put ours out for us. We really felt they lacked the customer service feature here. This place lacked the prestige we hoped for and we decided we wouldn't return here again. While the sunset and sunrise are just breathtaking, the hospitality and attention to detail here is lacking and not for us at this price. It seems people have been coming here for so many years they have blinders up and are missing how much is falling through the cracks or even noticing any issue. We would not stay here again and definitely do not believe 4 stars is a true depiction of this place, it could use work and improvements.

First of all, this is a HUGE resort and each unit has different levels of upgrades and updates…read more The unit we rented was fully updated and very nice with an outstanding view of the gulf. (St. Martin 1407) We loved watching the sunrise and sunset from patio. We could also see large fish and stingrays. There was seating for all 8 of us on the patio to enjoy the amazing view. Overall nice building and we enjoyed the gym, pickle ball and basketball court. Here are the cons: - It's odd that there were no beach chairs or toys in our condo or the office to borrow for your stay. There are chairs to rent for $55. I did see some condos had them in the garage space though. - The water in our unit tasted and smelled like chlorine - leaving three of us with upset stomachs until we could buy water. We were able to drink from the water fountain in the lobby and that water tasted good. - There were very little notes/instruction left in our condo for how to navigate this large resort. The map we got upon entry was not detailed. It was frustrating when we arrived. Where do we park? Where is the fitness center and what are the hours? How do we borrow pickle ball or basketball equipment? Where is the office? Where do we eat? Get coffee, etc? How do we use TV? - The pool is advertised as 'heated' but it was COLD. I'm thankful that the hot tub was fairly large! There were some little things the owners/management could do to make a 5-star experience. I did find out that you could go to the main office (by Ruth Chris steakhouse), and they allow you to borrow pickle ball equipment and a basketball. It would be awesome if they allowed you to checkout chairs or beach toys and bikes. It would also be nice if they sold coffee! The coffee shop next door doesn't open until 10. Overall, we had a nice week. The highlight was the view and being able to watch the sunrise and sunset from the patio.

We were even allowed to check in a little earlier as our room was ready. We had room 207. Room: we had a two bedroom. The beds were comfortable. AC worked well. We had a partial view of the ocean. Our room was equipped with a microwave, a refrigerator, TV, a coffee maker with coffee. The refrigerator worked well. We also had an iron and an ironing board. The bathroom: clean and spacious. Water pressure was great. We always had hot water. The toiletries in the bathroom included shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion. The body wash was empty. I did ask for it to be replaced twice and it never happened The pool: plenty of lounge chairs, but not as much shade. If you want pool towels, you can get them from the front desk. You do need your key to go in and out. The pool was nice, but full of children. Breakfast: continental breakfast with hot and cold items. You can get waffles, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, and protein. Cold items included yogurt and cereal. They had fruits, toast and bagels. The beach is a five minute walk from the hotel. There's also a walkable restaurant nearby called the back porch. Housekeeping does not come every day unless you request it. Check out was easy. We did ask for a late check out and were able to stay till 1230. Everyone that we encountered was nice and friendly.

The location is excellent and close to everything you need. You can even walk across another parking lot to Dunkin Doughnuts if you need a fix.

Drip coffee pot, but you can p/u filters @Walmart, which is very close. I would rate room 4/5 stars. Keep in mind, depending on which room you get, you will hear construction late into night and starting early in morning. View was nice from porch but it is West facing so not full view of beach (as back of property rooms) This property was a drag, because it is UNDER CONSTRUCTION!! Outside pool/kids water area are closed, however you can use indoor pool, which looked dirty to me, but there was construction going on all around that one, too, so may be why it seemed that way. Handicap ramp only gets you down one flight of stairs, but you'll have two more flights if you want to go onto the beach. Gym is a complete joke, and dangerous OLD equipment makes it not worth using, so we walked and worked out in our room. There is what looks like it used to be a sauna/steam room, but you guessed it, under construction. But no worries, the elevators are also under construction so you can just ride up and down over and over and you'll get the same feel as the sauna. The beach was magnificent (clean and pristine), especially if you go out before 5AM or after 6:30PM, because that's when they start setting up/taking down the commercial umbrellas/chairs that you must purchase. $50 for all day (9-5) or $35 for half day (9-1 or 1-5) or $250 for the week. We brought our own umbrella and chairs and they will not allow you to set up ANY umbrellas (b/c it is hot as he** and they know you can't lay out there for long w/o one). Because of this and the construction being much worse than property let on, we won't stay here again. However, we found a wonderful state park appx 1 mile from property, Henderson State Park. The beaches are gorgeous and not blocked by the stupid commercial umbrellas. We brought our own and we had plenty of room!! Find a different property, at least until they finish updates, however, after reading reviews from 5 years ago stating property was under construction, they may never finish.

If I wanted to stare at concrete, I could have stayed home. This is false advertising, plain and simple. They charge a premium for "ocean view," but what you're really paying for is the chance to sit on a balcony and look at rooftops. Only if you lean out and crane your neck can you even see the water. I feel completely ripped off. For this price, honesty and transparency should be the bare minimum. Instead, they hide behind vague wording and hope guests won't complain. If you're considering booking here because of the view, don't waste your money--you will be as disappointed as I am.
