Hidden Dunes Cottage 226 Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey
Few people know that the word “beach” is actually an acronym for Best Escape Anyone Can Have! Admittedly, that word origin may not be exactly accurate but it is a truism that this Destin vacation rental carries the full meaning of “beach” throughout its quiet interior. Cool and calm, the tile floors and neutral coastal décor create an atmosphere where you don’t care if you have beach hair, where bills are inconsequential and all that matters is relaxing.
Apart from vacation rental necessities such as a stocked kitchen and laundry room, Hidden Dunes Cottage 226 has some added perks that will make you feel like you’ve found a perfectly whole shell on an already beautiful beach walk. A screened-in and furnished porch provides a tranquil spot for an evening soiree amidst the rustling magnolias and palmettos. Plus, one of Hidden Dunes pool decks is right around the corner and the professional tennis center is a few paces away on the same road as Cottage 226.
While this beach cottage is a peaceful retreat in and of itself, there are a lot of exciting things to do just outside the door when you’re in need of a little fun! Hidden Dunes resort has a very impressive tennis center with clay courts, a basketball court, a horseshoe court, a dog park, walking paths with water features and deeded access to one of the longest stretches of beach in all the area. Moreover, beyond the gates and even within walking distance lies Silver Sands Factory Stores, dozens of restaurants, supermarkets and beach shops.
Hidden Dunes offers six tennis courts with a Rubico Clay surface, which is the highest standard for clay tennis courts, and are maintained daily in order to provide the best playing conditions. Proper tennis attire is required to play and we encourage you to call ahead to schedule a match or take advantage of our clinics and private lessons. Please call to inquire about cost per session and equipment rental prices. Our friendly staff invites you to join for a game or two.

We loved the beach cottage! The service was excellent. I think the dolphin tour we did through Explorie was the most fun I had.
There was a problem with a leaking air conditioner unit above us, but the management responded right away when we told them about it.

Thanks for your recent review of Hidden Dunes Cottage 226. We appreciate you letting us know right away about the leaking AC unit and we’re happy the issue was quickly resolved.

The dolphin cruise, snorkel adventure, and waterpark are just a few of the free fun activities Newman-Dailey offers and we’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the experience. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hidden Dunes Resort for future beach vacations.
Our cottage at Hidden Dunes was beautiful. We loved all the trees and landscape. It had everything we needed for the week. The property staff was very nice and attentive. We will definitely return here for another visit. They might wanna update their mattresses. That was our only negative thing to say.

Thank you for your recent review. Unfortunately, beds are very tricky, since everyone’s preferences are different. Some guests prefer a firm mattress while others prefer soft. To ensure our guests are comfortable, we are happy to provide extra mattress pads or mattress toppers that can bring the mattress to your desired level of comfort. We appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll call us in the future if there is anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable. We look forward to welcoming you back to the beach
Hidden Dunes is a beautiful property! The condo was so clean and smelled wonderful when we walked in! The pool is lovely and the walk to the Beach wasn’t bad at all. Will definitely stay again!
First time stay, excellent staff, beautiful property, would recommend. Will stay again.

Not what I expected.
This online accommodation lead me to believe I had 2 bedrooms. Upon arrival and check in I found out that there was only 1 master bedroom and a pullout couch that was horrible! The pullout couch might accommodate a child, but not an adult. I was so disappointed. Also, when I arrived, the air conditioner didn’t work. May I suggest that the owner replace the pullout couch. It was absolutely awful!

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to host you and your family and for this review. We are disappointed the property was not as you expected. At Newman Dailey, we always strive to be as transparent as possible with all of our external marketing and our websites that feature our properties. This particular property is listed as a 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath that sleeps 4. The sofa sleeper accommodates 2 people but we never advertise or tell guests that it’s a bedroom. We urge all guests to carefully read the detailed descriptions of our properties and to peruse the photos that we place on our website. Our records indicate that the air conditioner issue was addressed and fixed within 2 hours of being reported. We apologize for the inconvenience, but some things are beyond our control. We hope you enjoyed the beautiful beach and resort amenities at Hidden Dunes despite these issues. Come back and see us soon!

loved the unit
Really loved the unit. A different, higher chair would be nice. My husband has a hard time getting down into the chair. Other than that I am really waiting for next winter so we can return.
