The property,grounds and beach definately exceeded our expectations and were beautifully maintained and clean. The cottage was also more than we expected - clean and comfortable with great amenities. The pictures don't do the whole package justice. We chose to relax for most of the time, but the area has a lot to offer in terms of activities both on and off the water. Lots of choice also for food and shopping but a car is needed to get around outside of the Hidden Dunes complex. Would not hesiatate to recommend to friends and family - Will definately go back soon !!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hidden Dunes. Our cottage was beautifully furnished, clean, organized and such a pleasant surprise. We had been in the Destin area before, but this time this property exceeded our expectations. The cottage and properties was beautiful. The grounds and walk to the beach was beautiful and felt like a little bit of paradise. When we had a long day at the beach and a lot to carry, we would call the shuttle and were delivered right to the door. One morning we were treated as we walked to the beach by at least 10 dolphin that had come in for feeding...truly a highlight. This property is being kept in great shape...the area is family friendly..we can't wait to go back!!

My husband and I are from Texas and we drove 10 hours with 2 small children just to see the beautiful Florida beaches! The week was wonderful and so was the cottage. It was extremely spacious and had everything we needed and more. It was within walking distance to the beach without having to cross any roads/traffic. It was very quiet and relaxing. We hated to leave. Thanks again for such a wonderful stay!

This was my third year to stay at Hidden Dunes. It was great! The cottage was wonderful and totally comfortable--as usual, with several updates just this year (new washer and dryer, flatscreen TV in the living room, stainless steel stove & microwave, new patio chairs, etc.). The beach was beautiful (no oil) and the pool, which is located right around the corner from the cottage, is awesome, especially at night. I was actually at the pool more than at the beach and met a lot of very nice neighbors. There are other activities at the resort as well: basketball, tennis, fishing, etc. We enjoyed the local restaurants, especially the pizza place across from the resort and the seafood restaurants on the beach -- the kids loved that! We also had fun at the outlet mall. My two 23-year-olds went on a snorkeling trip and had a great time! There's so much to do in Destin and the local area, you can have a great time with or without oil on the beaches. Hidden Dunes is one of those resorts that is very serene, peaceful and quiet and the foliage is absolutely beautiful. One of my favorite things is to sit on the screened-in lanai in the morning watching the birds and squirrels while planning my day. The owners of our cottage are great to deal with and kept us updated about the oil spill before our trip. With three years' experience, I highly recommend Hidden Dunes resort and especially this cottage to other travelers! We will definitely be back! The Hayes Family from Missouri

This was our third year to stay at Hidden Dunes Resort. It is now like our "home away from home". The cottage is wonderful with many new upgrades just this year (new stainless steel stove and microwave in kitchen, flat-screen TV in living room, new washer and dryer, new patio chairs, etc). I enjoy sitting on the screened-in lanai every morning. The private beach is beautiful (no oil while we were there!), and the pool, which is right around the corner from the cottage, is awesome, especially at night. Hidden Dunes is a very quiet and peaceful resort and has beautiful foliage, yet there's a lot to do -- basketball, tennis, etc. I also feel very safe at the resort because it is gated with 24-hour security. The owners have listed the property exactly as it is, and the cottage is very clean and well-maintained. The owners also offer great customer service, working with renters as needed. Since we were there just this past week, the owner had kept us updated on the oil spill situation prior to our trip. The outlet mall is very close to the resort for GREAT shopping! Souvenir shops and many other activities are also close by. My two 23-year-olds went on a snorkeling trip last week and had a great time! We highly recommend Hidden Dunes and plan to return for many more years! The Hayes Family from Missouri
