We found this place by accident while driving around on our last day of vacation about 3 years ago. We decided to stay another night and we were given a better rate and it was much closer to the beach than where we stayed previously. Since then, we have come back about 3 times. We love it...clean, friendly, no noise problems, and private. Can't wait to go back again!

My children and I were in Destin for a couple of days and had not reserved a room prior to our visit. We were driving around looking for a reasonably priced place to stay when we came upon the motel. Kathy was very sweet and helped me out with a great rate. The kids had a blast at the beach, which was within walking distance from the hotel. The room was perfect for us. Thanks Kathy for making our stay enjoyable.

We literally drove in off the highway to check their rates and 10 minutes later they were checking us into our room in the middle of a blinding rainstorm. It was not fancy but it was very clean, very comfortable, quite homey and even had a microwave, fridge and a washer and dryer (in our unit). We stayed for several days, walking to the beach ...

My husband and I spent four days in unit #3. We are in our early 30s and it was a perfect base for our stay in Destin. Central to highway 98, Publix, Fresh Market, Target, and Walmart. It is a short walk to a beautiful stretch of beach.

About the room: It is one of four units. The decor is from the 70s and it is a little dark, but after ...

We stayed at the raised house across the street during our visit and couldn't have been more pleased! It is BEAUTIFUL! The view of the beach is fantastic. Kathy, the manager, was very helpful and gave us a great rate. We will be back often!! Thanks for making our vacation the best we've ever experienced!

If you want to know what old Florida motels were like, this is the place. Kathi runs a very nice motel that is frozen in time. The room my wife and I stayed in was clean, cozy and for the budget traveler. It was very quiet and just a short barefoot walk across the street to a beautiful Destin beach. No high rise condos here! It was a two room ...

My husband & I have rented from Kathi - going on 3 years now. You will never feel more at home anywhere like you will at Old Pier. Everything you need is a hop-skip and jump away. The owners go out of their way to acommodate their customers in every way. They are wonderful people and can understand why they are in the top ranking for ...

Great location and price. Management was a little too in your face for my taste. Posted on the fridge was a list of rules and one was that there are to be no guests without approval. I immediately went to the office and informed Kathi that my sister's family was staying down the road and she may see them at some point knocking on the door or ...

I loved our experience at old pier. We are from Slidell, LA and were evacuating from hurricane Katrina and had nowhere to go. I called almost every number in the phone book and everywhere was booked. We were so desperate I started calling realtors. By chance we found Kathy. She was so caring. I was also 8 months pregnant, and had three ...
