Wondering where to stay in Destin, Florida? Let us help! We recently checked out the Henderson Park Inn, an adults only bed and breakfast located right on the beach in the heart of Destin. Here we’ll take you through our staycation, highlighting our stay and all the things we loved.
Let’s run down all the important factors when choosing where to stay on vacation:
LOCATION
It doesn’t get more beach front than the Henderson Park Inn. Nestled right on the sand, the beach is mere steps from your room behind the resort. Another perk is that it borders Henderson Beach State Park, extending your view for miles without any other buildings to the west – hello, gorgeous sunset views! In terms of the city, Henderson Park Inn sits at the end of Scenic Hwy 98, and no through traffic means a quiet stay. Just a quick minute drive to Hwy 98 makes an easy drive to most all restaurants and hot spots in Destin.
AMENITIES
One of the best parts of Henderson Park Inn is how much is included in your stay.
– Breakfast and lunch are included every day
– Complimentary Happy Hour at the Tiki Bar from 4pm-5pm daily
– Beach chair service on the Henderson Park Inn’s private beach
– Snacks, cookies, soda and water every day
As a guest at HPI, you also have access to the Henderson Beach Resort’s amenities, located across the road. Enjoy use of their pools, spa, restaurants and more.
COMFORT/CLEANLINESS
We all know this is super important, and the Henderson Park Inn didn’t disappoint. We were pleasantly surprised to be greeted by our TV playing a soft music channel when we entered our room, and a wine and fruit platter on the bed. The bathroom and bedroom portions were not only clean, but felt welcoming like a second home. Outside of the room, every part of the property felt clean and well cared for.
PRICE
Price usually tops the list when it comes to where to stay. Like most places in Destin, cost will vary with the season/month, as well as type of room. Keep in mind, many amenities are included in the cost of your stay, such as breakfast, lunch, beach chair service, snacks, soda and water, as well as a complimentary happy hour daily from 4pm-5pm. Check their website for availability as well as the most recent price points for the dates of your stay.
Also important to mention, is the restaurant available on site. The Beach Walk Cafe is located inside the Henderson Park Inn, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Breakfast and lunch are available to guests only, with the restaurant opening to the general public at 5pm for dinner. Enjoy a variety of dishes from steaks to seafood, as well as chef specials like a fresh catch. If you’re looking for a different dinner experience, you can request dinner on the beach, with your toes in the sand.
It’s safe to say, we were pleasantly surprised by a variety of things during our stay. The adults only aspect definitely added to the charm and experience. Henderson Park Inn is officially ranked high on our list of where to stay in Destin Florida!
