“Nice Friendly Hotel With Beautiful Harbor View”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

My wife and I have been vacationing over the past three weeks staying at hotels in Florida on the Atlantic Ocean's sea shore with breath taking ocean views. With the Christmas vacation drawing to a close, we headed back to the Mid West. We headed west across Florida, driving on Highway 98 hugging the Florida Panhandle's southern coastline with its peaceful views of the Gulf of New Mexico.

While surfing the Internet for our first nights stop in the Destin/Ft Meyer area, I came upon the Inn on Destin Harbor hotel with beautiful pictures of its location on Destin's harbor. Since we were trying to hang on to hotels with nice water views we made our reservation to stay there. We were not disappointed. We had a room with a balcony over looking this beautiful harbor sprinkled with its gorgeous yachts. The lobby and the continental breakfast areas also over looked this scenic view.

The bonus to our stay at the Inn on Destin Harbor was the pleasant friendly welcome we received during our check in from the receptionist, Katrina. We found that same friendliness from the other hotel staff during our breakfast and check out, as we said our good buys to Florida and our recent found memories of the past three weeks with her beautiful sea shore views.

Room Tip: Rooms on the south side have the view of the harbor

“Super nice front desk! Very accomodating and clean.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

Check in was fast. Luggage rack was helpful. The room was very nice with a king bed, coffee maker, couch, and a great view of the harbor from our private balcony. There was sufficient security locks on the door. The rooms had inside entrance and an elevator. The room and public areas looked to have new carpet. Dogs are allowed for a fee. We also enjoyed the breakfast in a nice , but small area overlooking the harbor. Checkout was a breeze. Will stay here again.

Room Tip: Harbor side is about 20.00 more per night, but if view is important it is worth it.

“Very scenic spot!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 26, 2012

The Inn on Destin Harbor is in a great location, has clean efficient rooms with balconys overlooking Destin Harbor for a very reasonable price. This is our 3rd time there, & this time we saw several dolphins feeding, one close in in shallow water, a horseshoe crab in the shallows, small schools of small fish, of course all the normal birds, plus very beautiful sunsets...all from our balcony sipping a glass of wine. They also have a good free breakfast each morning. We will be returning here.

Room Tip: Choose a room on the water side, a little more expensive, but well worth the view you'll get!!
