I let our friends convince us to go here rather than Sunset Beach, NC. The drive frome Louisville, KY. was pretty easy. We stayed at Blue Surf and it was a very nice complex. Destin was not very "Kid Friendly" in my view. The only thing for them to see was the gulfariun, and Newport, KY's is so much better! Food was extremely ...
There were no dislikes it was all wonderful, we have stayed at alot of beaches and places but this by far takes the prize. The service is just amazing and the workers are all friendly and it is just a peaceful place to stay and the kids have so much to enjoy. Will always return to The Holiday inn in Destin.
This was one of the bestfamily trips we've been on! We actually rented a house for the week 1/2 a block from the beach in the Crystal Beach neighborhood. There were fantastic restaurants everywhere you went and plenty of shopping. I would highly recommend the Boogies Dolphin cruise. It started off kind of slow but we ended up seeing dozens ...

We visit Destin quiet often it is so wonderful. Lots to do as far as eating and shopping. The beach is pretty good but we like to stay in a town 15 miles btwn destin and panama city called seagrove. It is the most beautiful town. Lots of small condos and quiet beaches. Just wonderful! We go pretty much every year..I reccomend waiting til ...

I first came here when I was young and with my parents. I came back in 1999 and returned every year. love everything about it. I do think Destin is beginning to over build.

a great place for everyone

Destin is one of the best places you could wish for. Great beaches, good seafood, and almost no crime happens there. If you're not beach people, no problem! Destin has plenty more to do. Go to Big Kahuna's Water Park, race go carts, go deep sea fishing, go to one one of their fine seafood restaurants.

I love this place! My family has been going there fo over 20 years! They have lots to do! You can go to Big Kahuna's Water Park and Have a blast. But the lines are long but the maximum you will stay line is about 10 min - 5 Min. Not even that! You can also go fishing in the pear! I love it! We caught a angel fish! (We let it go) You can also go ...
If you are into the Beach town scene? Fort Walton Beach's a good sand spit to hit. I cannot imagine what spring break is like, it felt snug and trafficy when we stayed. Like other reveiwers I avoided Florida in the past behind the considerations of heat. Was plesant, if you are into sand and water and bullfrog. We had access to military housing ...
Destin is a great family place to vacation. Although thought to be pricey, that would only be to people who havent been on a vacation in about 20 years. Dining should be done between 4:30p and 6:30 if you dont want to wait. Big Kahuna Water park is a great, safe place for kids. Fuddpucker's offers "Teen nite" during the week, my boys ...
