Clean and complete with all the necessities, across the street from the beach.
Pros:

Good location. Staff was wonderful! Very clean.

Cons:

Pictures on booking site led us to believe it was right on the beach but it was actually across the street. Which was fine, just that the pictures were a little misleading.

We had a relaxing, pleasant stay at The Beachside Inn!
Pros:

We loved this place! This was our first time staying at Beachside Inn, and we were pleasantly surprised…the rooms were clean and spacious, the location was so convenient, Camille’s was lovely, we couldn’t be happier! Such an easy, friendly vibe…getting iced coffee in the morning, strolling through the area, going for a swim in the pool, soaking in the hot tub…we had such a pleasant and positive experience the entire time. It was quiet enough in the mornings, we were able to sleep in. Stephanie in the front office was very helpful and accommodating, we ended up staying an extra night, we had so much fun! We will be coming back!

We the Destin area and all it provided. But will not go back to Beachside Inn.
Pros:

The location

Cons:

My reservation confirmation stated I had a room with a kitchenette which included pots, pans, etc. So that's what I expected and planned on. The room was basic with a microwave and a fridge. Nothing else. I had expected a place to prepare simple foods to save money. Definitely a disappointment! And, after a long flight we were not allowed access to our already prepared room till 4pm....it was after noon when we arrived. Were told it was a $40 charge for early entry. Have never had a motel/hotel not give the courtesy of 3 hrs early admintence. Of course we did not go in early. Check out was at 10 am.
