Wonderful stay at DestinArmy Recreation Area, pool, splash pad and fishing pier what more could you ask for. Walked to the waterfront docks and had a great lunch and entertainment at the Edge Sky Bar. Definitely coming back

This is our 2nd stay here. We were told about this place last year (2024) around this same time, while staying at the Emerald Grande. We came over and took a tour, and extended our stay in Destin, right here for the remainder of our vacation. I must say, the staff here are more than exceptional, kind, and inviting. Though it’s look, is not of a 5-star Hotel/Resort, it provided exactly what we needed.. Peace & Quiet, Relaxing, Family-Friendly, Great (as-needed) room service and amenities.. a great place avoid all of the late night noise & shenanigans. Most all Active Duty, Retired, and Veterans that we encountered, were also friendly and communicative. The DOWNER is, the area is pet friendly, so you may end up in a room, and find pet fur all over your clothing after sitting on the beds (especially that little throw that they have on the beds) and sweeping up a lot of fur as well; so if you have allergies, as I do, take your own cleaning supplies to tidy up before getting settling in. And their washers and dryers are old and some are inoperable; but they plan to go up on their prices, so hopefully that means newer or replacement ones.

Great location, nice little one room kitchenette, beds comfortable, right across from the pool. The only drawback was our upstairs neighbors making lots of noise constantly walking around. I think the ceilings are very thin. But everything else was okay. I recommend this establishment for location and helping us veterans price wise.

4.5✨ power kept popping at the shore power for our 30amp camper. You're pretty close to other campers. Love the ability to rent boats, sad the splash pad is broken but it's super neat! And the fact the splash pad and pool over look the bay is amazing

I love everything about this location. We have been coming here for years and it is always a great stay. The location is close to the harbor walk and crab island. I love the fishing pier and boat ramp that offered rentals. The rooms vary in size and there will be one to fit your needs, but always book nearly a year in advance (crazy I know. That’s how popular this spot is). The patio infront of the hotels is the best spot for the sunset photo and hanging out with the family.
