Henderson Park Inn, Destin, Destin

My wife and I had the pleasure of spending our first of many future visits to this beautiful location. Service is outstanding. Security is first rate. Our fellow clients are outstanding people. We especially were looking for something that was unique and excluded the "under 25" crowd. Food outstanding. You wanted for nothing. Regardless of the room you choose, the facilities were clean, well maintained, and very comfortable. The happy hours were a great time to meet people, and make freindships that will be renewed on future visits. Some that we met had stayed here 18 years in a row!

Loved the location on the beach and the great breakfast, lunch and happy hour. Thought the restaurant should have offered less expensive entrees in order for more guests to afford eating at the inn. Maybe some dinner specials every night like other Destin fine dining places. Definitely think the pool should be re-opened and more upscale furniture around the pool deck for the price.

There isn't enough room to write how perfectly wonderful this B&B is. It's so beautiful and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are elegant and comfortable. We slept with the french doors open and listened to the surf while we slept. I've never slept better! The breakfast was excellent and they also provided a little packaged lunch for us for later. We ate our dinners out at our favorite seafood place, and were thrilled to come back afterwards and relax at this blissful oasis. In the mornings we woke up and drank our coffee while watching the waves from the balcony. We were able to watch a wedding from our balcony. It was so beautiful. One day if I find my Prince Charming, I'd love to be married there too. I can think of no better place to be.

My boyfriend and I visited the Henderson Park Inn from July 21st-26th, 2009. We were a little nervous at first that we would be the youngest couple there (being 26). But we were very surprised that the guests ranged from all different ages; and it turned out to be the best week of my life!! We stayed in an Executive Suite, in the main building. The hotel was beautiful, our room was amazing, and all of the staff were so nice and friendly. We loved how the Inn was secluded from the main Destin area, and felt very private next to Henderson State Park. The Inn provided breakfast and lunch each day, and we each got our own beach chairs and umbrella for us on the beach. Happy Hour was also great...with a choice of beer, wine, or a mixed fruity drink. I think our favorite part of Henderson Park inn was our private balcony overlooking the beach. It was so beautiful, and it was such a treat to sleep with the balcony doors open at night and hear the waves from the beach. I also recommend that you try to eat at the Inn's restaurant (the Beachwalk restaurant). We ate there our second night, and had the opportunity to sit outside and eat while watching the beach and the sunset. The food was also delicious!!! Our whole experience was wonderful, and we will definantly be coming back to Henderson Park Inn...there is nowwhere else I would rather stay in Destin, FL.

The overall experience was pleasant. Views overlooking the gulf were absolutely gorgeous and the extra amenities made us fall in love during previous visits. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous and comfortable, giving all the comforts of home. This visit, however, a restaurant was introduced to the Inn where the Inn guests were treated as second class citizens. The extra business was very loud and radiated throughout the building, until 1 am on most nights. Previous years left us with a packed lunch that could be taken out onto the deck, beach, room, etc. This year, we had to MAKE A RESERVATION as inn guests, and were turned away in the middle of the week for lack of seats, when they weren't at full capacity. The restaurant takes away from the charm of the bed and breakfast.

I don't usually write a review because I am not normally impressed enough with a facility to take the time but after our stay at the Inn I decided to share. I was immediately impressed with the location because it is located next to the state park so the view of the ocean and the beach is not compromised by high rise condos. Secondly the staff was very friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a quiet or maybe romantic getaway then you have found it. I have nothing against children because I have three grands of my own which I have already taken to the beach this summer, but it was very soothing and relaxing to enjoy the beach without children. I don't think this Inn could have offered anything else to make us comfortable. If you think this place is pricey then you must consider the perks, from the lovely breakfast, light lunch provided, fresh homemade cookies and lemonade in the afternoon to the refridgerators full of cold drinks, bottled water, and candy bars and lets not forget the beach towels provided whenever needed. You could also check out a bicycle for a ride along the beach. Did I mention we loved this place?? We will definitely return.,,

We have been here several times before and after Hurricane Ivan. The big change since the hurricane is the loss of the pool, but it was replaced by a huge sun deck. The rooms are beautiful, the beds so comfy, delicious breakfast and gourmet box lunches. All of these are topped only by the absolutely top-notch customer service. I can't think of any negatives!

We've been going to Henderson for years and were devastated when it closed for condo development. We then heard about the re-opening and went last November just when it opened. The prices then were really high but they've been reduced some since then - the only thing missing is the pool. How can you have such a fantastic B&B in Destin without a pool? Other than the pool and the prices being a little high this place is terrific...no kids is the best bonus.

My husband and I never took a real honeymoon so for our 10th anniversary we thought that we deserved to really spoil ourselves. This place was the ticket!! The innkeepers take care of everything. They don't even let you throw your trash away. Breakfast and lunch (delicious) are provided and every beach ammenity. All you have to do is select where you'll have your evening meal. The local outlets are also a good place to go. The inn is very quiet and relaxing. My husband and I loved it and we'll definately be going back- and we won't wait 10 years to do so.

We were one of the very first to stay at the Henderson Park when it was just reopening last spring. At the time, the price was very good, (not sure if the cost has gone up), the beach was awesome, the Inn iself was amazing. The decor was wonderful, the people extremely friendly and the food excellent. We have decided that Destin is our place and THIS is our Inn.
