fantastic!

We have stayed at a Sanctuary By the Sea for the last 11 years. This was our first year renting through Newman Dailey. To say we were impressed is an understatement. Their communication, check ins to make sure everything was going ok, their quick response time, their kind and helpful staff- all of it made our experience the BEST yet. We hope to always book vacations through Newman Dailey. Thank you for running an amazing company and for giving us such a wonderful experience. Sincerely, Heather Sachs

great family gathering space

Selected this beautiful penthouse for a family gathering and found it to be exactly what we needed. Open floorplan in the living room, dining and kitchen area gave us the ability to interact and reconnect as a family. Loved the ice machine, large pantry, dining and card table; not to mention the fantastic long balcony with ocean views. We’re looking forward to our next beach trip to this amazing condo.

we had a relaxing, pleasant stay at the beachside inn!

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!

love the upgraded kitchen

We enjoyed our stay at unit 102 Dunes of Crystal Beach. Love the updated Kitchen! It is very spacious and easy for multiple people to use. We loved the layout and the ability to sit around the counter while cooking our meals. Of course the big balcony and the view of the water was the best. We will certainly be back.

Second time coming here. Our family loves it! Everyone is very nice and the golf cart rides to the beach really help us with small children and all the stuff they take to the beach!

this was a wonderful condo and we enjoyed the amenities.

At the beach my family and I stayed in the condo with a beautiful balcony view. The beds were very comfortable and the whole place was thoroughly clean. The chairs on the balcony were a treat for my morning coffee. The whole time was wonderful. My daughter used the beach chairs set up by the resort which was so convenient. The kitchen was stocked very well with dishes and pans. We hopefully will be back next year to rent this condo. It was great!

we had a wonderful stay at hidden dunes cottage 155 over memorial day weekend!

It was absolutely perfect for our family. The cottage was well stocked with everything we needed, which made our stay so comfortable and easy. Our teenagers especially appreciated the games that were available to play during the rainy weather. The location was great, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy time together. The area was peaceful, quiet, and very relaxing — exactly what we were looking for in a beach getaway. We would definitely stay here again!

highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!

We had a wonderful stay! The apartment is in a great location—just a short walk to a beautiful private beach. Each of the two rooms has its own bathroom, which made things extra comfortable.

i 100% recommend this unit.

We had an excellent stay! I’ve stayed at Hidden Dunes many times, and this unit is impressive. When I arrived and walked around, I immediately text my mother who normally books our extended family Destin trips and said “Mom would approve!”

Absolutely cannot beat the location and the views. Second time staying here and will definitely be returning. We love everything about it. Location, clean, quite, pool & hot tub were great, the patio overlooking that beautiful beach & water over coffee in the mornings and a cocktail in the evening cannot be beat.

we loved hidden dunes resort.

Years ago, my parents booked through Newman-Dailey and now, I will always book through Newman-Dailey for our beach trips. Hidden Dunes was safe, clean, and in a very convenient spot. The fact that it is on nearly 30 acres made it so nice to walk around and explore. We encountered a few residents who were walking their pets and everyone we spoke with was so kind and helpful. We can’t wait to come back and stay longer next time.

we're already planning our return visit, this place has definitely earned our highest recommendation

Our stay at this resort was absolutely wonderful! The condo itself was immaculate, offering plenty of space and tranquility throughout our visit. But what truly took our breath away was the spectacular balcony view – simply stunning. The beach access couldn't have been more convenient with just a short, pleasant walk. One delightful surprise was discovering the gazebo positioned perfectly at the top of the beach stairs. This area provided the most peaceful spot to relax, while enjoying the ocean breeze. Added bonus was Pompano Joe’s Seafood House was in walking distance from the Condo. As first-time guests, we'll admit we had some reservations about booking based solely on online reviews and photos. However, this resort completely surpassed our expectations in every way. The combination of cleanliness, comfort, and those incredible views made for an unforgettable getaway.

hidden dunes condo 404 was absolutely perfect

Newman Dailey were exceptional hosts. The layout of the condo was perfect and close to the elevator. We were gifted with a tote bag, coffee, extra trash can liners, detergents, sponge, salt and pepper and olive oil! The condo was spotless and the facilities were A+!

we loved this beautiful condo!

It had everything we needed and was in a great location! The beds were very comfortable. We will be staying in this unit next time we visit Destin. The location had a family feel. Right across the street from the beach.
