sanctuary by the sea is truly one of the most beautiful places we've ever stayed!

The property is immaculate, peaceful, and perfectly located on the gorgeous white sands of Blue Mountain Beach. From our unit, the beach access was a short walk, the pools are beautiful, and the entire community is exceptionally well maintained. Our condo was spacious, comfortable, and had stunning views of Red Fish Lake and the Gulf. We loved the quiet atmosphere while still being just minutes from great restaurants and everything 30A has to offer. We can't wait to come back—this is the perfect place for a relaxing beach getaway!

we would definitely return to 194 and use newman daily again in the future.

We had a great experience at Hidden Dunes cottage 194. It was very clean, had everything we needed in the kitchen, furniture was comfortable, and great location for the bigger pool and quick walk to the beach. All the directions and info from Newman Daily was great and having the beach service included with our stay was a definitely selling point for us.

very spacious condo with amazing views of the beach.

Loved having an ice machine for drinks, etc. Beds were comfortable and the condo stayed cool unlike others we’ve stayed. There were lots of pots, pans, mixing bowls, etc for cooking. I’d return to this condo if going back to Silver Shells.

I liked the location just steps from the beach, and the tranquility felt in the facilities.

it was the perfect set up for my family of four. i am already planning for next year!

It is an amazingly simple and cute place to stay. The beach is a very short walk across the neighborhood street. The parking was good. The shower is huge and private from the vanity area which is also large. It was quiet and relaxing. There is also an amazing restaurant called Camille’s attached.

we love staying at hidden dunes.

At the beach my husband and i played pickleball every day. Our adult kids played tennis nearly every day and greatly enjoyed Rhett and the tennis clinic. Our favorite restaurant was Back Porch; we ate there 2 times. We also enjoyed eating at Maguire's, Lulu's, Shrimp Basket, and Shunk Gulley on 30A. On our last night, we enjoyed a wonderful Dolphin Cruise on Southern Star. The weather was great and the dolphin were showing out for us! We cannot wait to go back next year.

from the moment you walk in everything was amazing.

From the condo being super clean to the amazing view. I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else. The chair rental was easy to use on the beach and there was a small tiki bar a short walk away to go have some lunch. This was our first time in Destin and definitely will book another stay here. Loved that everything was key code to get in so you felt no random person could come in. The staff was amazing at helping out with getting more bracelets and recommending places to eat.

A wonderful beach vacation for our family in a clean and beautiful condo. Couldn’t be happier and we even extended our trip 2 days.

the property was great. i would definitely recommend staying at jade east 1740.

It was nice and clean. We enjoyed sitting outside on the patio. The furniture out there was great. It had a high-top table and chairs so you were able to see the Gulf well. The living room furniture was nice and comfortable. The ceiling fans were very neat and put out a lot of air. The beds were comfy and I slept like a baby. The master bath blew me away. It is so big and open. I did not use the tub but it looked amazing as well. The beach was by far the best experience of the week. The first day we were in the 2nd row (only 2 rows). We were fine there but Trey (in charge of beach service) said he would move us up as people left. The next day and the rest of the time, we were front row! It was amazing and he treated us well! My family LOVED our stay. Close to many restaurants and groceries too! It was great coming out and knowing exactly where we would park with the assigned parking spot close to the building~I would definitely recommend staying at Jade East 1740.

i think the mediterranea is a jewel.

Book it and don’t hesitate…it truly is one of those places you want to tell everyone how great it is, but also don’t want to say anything so it can stay your special place!

Our stay in Unit 1201 was absolutely amazing! The recent renovations were spectacular and truly enhanced our entire vacation experience. The condo is beautifully designed with incredible attention to detail, making it feel luxurious, modern, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. As a family of five, we had more than enough space to relax comfortably. One of our favorite features was that each bedroom had its own balcony, which the kids absolutely loved. It gave everyone their own little space to enjoy the beautiful views and fresh air. My personal favorite was the master bathroom—it felt like something you would find in a five-star resort. Even on a busy family vacation, it provided the perfect place to unwind and decompress after long days at the beach. Every detail of this condo is stunning. It was so beautifully decorated that we almost didn’t want to touch anything! The comfort, luxury, and overall atmosphere made it difficult to leave when our trip was over.

the room was on the main floor.

Easy access and extremely large with a nice updated refrigerator, shower, and AC system. Towels for beach and a restaurant for snacks. Will definitely be back.
