​We just wrapped up a multi-family trip staying at The Henderson Parkside Condos. My best friend…read moreand her family stayed on the hotel side while we took the condos, and meeting up for pool and beach days was so easy. It was easily one of my favorite vacations, but there are a few key things you need to know before booking. ​Here is the bad, the good, and the ugly: ​ The Bad & The Ugly ​Sugar Ant Infestation: On Day 1, we unpacked our sealed snacks from Publix on the counter and it was immediately swarming with ants. We had to move everything into the fridge and scrub the counters, but we still found stragglers hiding under the coffee maker. We booked a condo specifically for the kitchen, so feeling nervous to cook or leave anything out was a real bummer. ​Under-Stocked Supplies: We were only given one garbage bag for the stay and the body wash was nearly empty. We couldn't get through to the front desk via phone to request more, so we just bought our own trash bags and toiletries. Not a dealbreaker, but disappointing. ​ The Good ​Exceptional Food: Poolside food usually disappoints, but every meal here blew us away. The gastropub was a huge highlight (the fried cauliflower is a must!), and getting wings and pizza delivered straight to our condo door was so convenient. ​Gorgeous Beach & Amenities: The beach is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. The property has multiple warm, spacious pools, 24-hour complimentary coffee, and incredible views. Plus, not having to worry about packing beach towels or toys made life so easy. ​Great Staff: The staff was phenomenal, and the resort is very family-friendly. ​ Final Verdict ​Despite the ant issue, the location, food, and experience made this trip unforgettable. Just bring ziplock bags, store your food in the fridge from minute one, and you will have an incredible stay. I would definitely stay here again!

Love: Walkability of the place Private beach access, beach side drink service Poolside service (family pools and adult only pool) Good, strong drinks Horizons Gastropub Rooftop bar Didn't get to do it but beach side yoga is offered Complimentary sweet tea in the lobby The lovely servers, cleaners, and bellhops Did not love: Limited activities for adults Expensive food! Limited breakfast options unless you want room service Dirty light switches and walls in the room Dirty pool and beach towels Only select hours for restaurants on the property (rooftop bar only open 5-10) Weak WiFi Sprinkles was kind of a joke, ice cream was mid and overpriced Front desk ladies were not very friendly You can't have it all! And we had a good time. But for what we paid, I expect the place to be immaculate.

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!

At the end of July, my husband and I spent a full week at Henderson Park Inn on the beach at…read moreDestin, FL. and it exceeded every single expectation. Traveling during peak summer can sometimes mean crowds or lagging service, but this resort delivered the exact opposite. From the moment we checked in, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel like VIPs. Our room was immaculate, cool, quiet, and serviced impeccably every day. The refreshment/ snack center lines the breezeway onto the expansive veranda and steps down to the beach. It's stocked with guests favorites to enjoy 24/7. A glass door refrigerator is kept stocked with variety of Coca Cola brand soft drinks & bottled water. Lower shelves are kept well stocked with all kinds of Mars and Hershey candies from Milky Ways to M&Ms. Pretzels, Sun Chips and more varieties of Miss Vicky's potato chips. Starbucks drink machine rounds it out with a variety of hot drinks and iced coffee, made to order in under two minutes! Chocolate chip cookies fresh from the kitchen always available in registration area. Meals from their five star award winning pinched and culinary team can't be over stated. And the beach area (my reason for choosing Henderson) is gorgeous and pristine! -- it's lovely and never overcrowded, with staff constantly checking in to offer fresh towels, cold drinks, lunch and shaded setups. The dining options offered incredible variety and top-tier quality every single meal. All meals are à la cart. I enjoy this freedom to purchase specifically what I want rather than carrying a degree of cost for courses I don't order. Our meals were absolutely perfection! What truly sets Henderson Park Inn apart is the genuine warmth of the entire team. They didn't just manage a busy July week; they made us feel completely relaxed, pampered, and at home. Now at home we've realized this one week revitalized us better than two weeks anywhere else could've. Destin is a convenient location for most of the southeast. We live 6 1/2 hours drive away- pretty typical distance for many people in the southeast. But to stay at this amazing 5 Star resort right on the beach so reasonably close to home is a kind gift from God. Home now, refreshed and stocked with happy new memories too. This July 30 was our 50th wedding anniversary. Just can't put into words how wonderful time, even an over night Henderson Inn always is. This was our fourth visit!

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.

On top of that, I like to be ON the beach, not across the street from the beach. Nevertheless, our third floor condo at the Amalfi resort was a very pleasant stay, indeed. It was clean, gorgeous, roomy. I didn't feel like I was in a condo at all. On top of that, we had easy access to the beach, and we're overlooking the pools. The pools were pretty nice too. One was heated and one was... which made things interesting for Florida winter swimming... Honestly, they really have some great deals here.

During a recent visit to 30A for a work function for my wife where we were staying at the Camp…read moreCreek Inn, we joined friends over several days to check out several WaterSound Club locations (which also include where we were staying). We were provided access to these locations and even enjoyed some meals and walking around WaterSound Club areas. As a guest of the Camp Creek Inn, we were provided exclusive access to the private WaterSound Beach Club amenities with complimentary shuttles (daily 8 AM to 9 PM). The beach is private and not open to the general public though we had access because of the WaterSound Club. The Beach Club offers two 7,000 square foot pools, a spacious pool deck, and over a mile of private beach with complimentary chair and umbrella setups along with paddle board and kayak rentals. There are also several dining venues there, too. To be a part of the WaterSound Club as a member, there is a hefty initiation fee with monthly dues though staying at a hotel like the Camp Creek Inn allows us access as if we are a member without being an actual member. Some of the restaurants that we went to include the Bark 'N Brine at the Camp Creek Inn and the Beach Break Grill at the Beach Club. Both of these had similar but different food offerings and mostly similar drink menus. They also both offered happy hour with half price select appetizers and drink specials. We also enjoyed walking along the beach though it was a cloudy and somewhat rainy day when no one was on the beach but we still saw some WaterSound staff working. We also enjoyed the pool at the Camp Creek Inn. I'm sure there were a lot of other aspects of the WaterSound Club we could have explored, and should we visit the area again, we'll gladly do so. In the meanwhile, learn more about the WaterSound Club at https://watersoundclub.com.

The master bedroom was roomy and had access to the balcony. The second room was smaller with two full sized beds. The couch in the living room was also a pullout big enough for two adults. The kitchen was nice and had plenty of utensils, dishes and pots/pans. All the appliances were nice stainless steel appliances and the counters were granite. The location was perfect as it was directly on the beach. It was also located close to fast food and Winn Dixie (maybe a 3 minute drive). Lots of families stay here but noise was never a factor. The beach directly in front of the building never felt crowded even though the areas on both sides of our building were packed with beach goers. Check in was a little complicated as we drove up only to find a gate that we weren't given the access code to. We had to call the office a few times before we were able to reach anyone to give us the code.

As a renter and not an owner you are given a separate color wristband which denies you access to many amenities listed. The renters are kept segregated from the owners. Renters are not allowed to buy drinks from the bar (alcoholic or nonalcoholic). You CANNOT purchase food from the grille. The pool you are allowed to swim in is sectioned off from the owners with an attendant who will run you out like you are a criminal. You have certain segregated sections that you are allowed to sit at on the beach and even then you CANNOT put up an umbrella at the oceans edge to prevent you from possibly blocking one of the owner's view. Honestly you are treated like an OUTCAST. Thank God we only stayed at TOPS'L as a last minute weekend trip because if we would have been here an entire week we would have been furious. We will NEVER stay at this facility again and we will tell everyone we know NOT to stay here. You are better off to take your hard earned money somewhere else with much better customer service practices.
