Our stay at this Destin condo was great. The property was very clean, well decorated, and had a nice view of the water from the deck. The location was ideal for being able to walk right across the street to the beach, but off the beaten path enough to avoid the crowd and traffic. Overall it was a quiet and relaxing retreat just close enough to sun fun at the beach as well as nearby shops and etc. Would definitely stay again!

Loved the place, not to far to crystal beach access. Only thing missing for us was a grill. Has everything else, perfect for staying active with all the stairs. We enjoyed our stay!

Very clean, well appointed, nice decor. Location at the end of Scenic US 98, and next to Henderson Beach State Park made for a quiet environment. Close to restaurants, shopping and only 7 min. walk to the beach. Would definitely stay again.

We loved it! So clean! Fully stocked with everything you need. Loved all the lighting. Lot's of mirrors for people to get ready for the day if the bathrooms are in use. The beach access was fine, not too far. And the beach was amazing! One thing to bring would be beach towels as they were not provided. Otherwise, this property is absolutely amazing!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
The unit was very nice however there was major construction of a new building next to us on one side and more construction on the other side. The driveway is very tight and all the crews made it difficult. Had we been aware we would have asked to be rebooked at another location.

The townhouse was amazing. We were disappointed in the beach access, also we didn’t find a place where we could walk the dog that was pet friendly to do their business . The beach gear was awesome but didn’t have a water hose to properly clean it for the return.

Hello! Thank you for choosing Best Beach! We're thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic time during your stay, especially the experience and location. Your positive feedback means a lot to us, and we look forward to exceeding your expectations on your next visit!
We spent 2 1/2 weeks at Sea Perch and our stay could not have been better. Townhouse was clean, well appointed, nice decor, and a huge sunny deck. It’s location next to Henderson Beach State Park, and at the end of Scenic US 98 made for a very peaceful stay. The beach was a 7 min. walk, with restaurants and shopping near by. Highly recommend you take a trip to Sea Perch!

Beautiful Ocean View - Lovely, Clean, and Comfortable
We loved our stay! We had everything that was needed and more. The beds were comfortable, we had more than expected in products. We come to Destin every year and this location is perfect, right in the middle of everything but very private. Linda

We loved our stay at Sea Perch! It was so nice and clean. We could smell how clean it was as soon as we walked in. The house was decorated so nicely and comfortably. We had everything we needed there. This townhome is located in a very nice area and felt super safe and secluded in its own way. We loved how cozy it felt. We’d love to come back and stay again.

The condo was great , location was great , the view was good , however the walk to the beach for older adults and using the public beach was not a good combination.

Hi Bobby, thank you for leaving us a great review. We appreciate the feedback and hopefully you come back to the beach and visit us soon.
This place is beautiful! Great location, beautifully decorated, and lots of room. I would say the only thing was that we ended up having to buy a few things that we’ve typically had provided for us in previous rentals (trash bags, more toilet paper, and laundry detergent). But honestly not a huge deal, we loved our time here.

Thank you so much for your great review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We do provide all guests ahead of time in the carefree instructions a list of what is provided to get you started. We hope that you will stay with us again soon though.
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, private condo in Destin. The property is located in a nice area, that seemed very safe and quiet - apart from live music at the resort nearby that played from 8-10pm. We enjoyed it as a free bonus benefit. The water is such a beautiful emerald green color and the white sand beaches are so clean. It was a great experience overall.

Thank you for our staycation! The townhouse was beautiful, spacious and clean. The desk outside was my favorite part for drinking coffee in the morning. We loved the easy check in and check out process. The only downside of that vacation was limited beach access. We did not know there is a small area roped off for public access. It was not a far walk from where we stayed but the small public beach access was packed early in the morning so we walked about a mile down the beach to the next roped off public beach access spot. It would probably be better going here during the off season when there is less people. All in all, we still enjoyed our vacation and I couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay in! Thank you so much!

Thanks so much for staying with us, Morgan! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your time. Our Best Beach Getaways team looks forward to hosting you again!
Location is in a quiet townhome community next to The Henderson Resort. Good layout, comfortable beds. Beach entrance is a 5-10 minute walk unless you want to pay for parking, you will need to provide your own beach chairs and umbrella, or rent a set up. Very little traffic. Recommend Camilles for breakfast and the best coffee and definitely look into Resort Pass to purchase a day pass to the Henderson Pool(s), great day spent there, even into the evening. Roof top bar for sunset and coastal view.
Enjoyed our 6 night stay and hated to leave.

We’re so glad you enjoyed the quiet setting and found the townhome comfortable and convenient. Thank you for sharing your helpful local recommendations and kind feedback about your stay.
This was a perfect option for our family as we have an adult daughter with special needs which renders hotel stays impossible. Three bedrooms on the same floor, washer and dryer, two bathrooms with showers on same floor as bedrooms, one bathroom on second floor next to the living room and kitchen. The little reading nook off of the living room area allowed us to get a little break while still keeping an eye on our daughter as she watched her shows in the living room. Very clean, well stocked kitchen utensils and pots/pans, beautiful view from the deck. It is less than 5 minutes to walk to the beach access at Shirah. Our only downside was the construction taking place in the condo directly next door as it produced a lot of noise during the day, but that is not a ding against the condo we stayed in as they obviously had no control over it. We will definitely stay here again after all construction next door is completed. Beautiful!
