Hidden Dunes Cottage 204 is Professionally Managed by Newman Dailey
Golden sunsets framed by mother-of-pearl colored shores cause all who experience this loveliness to become enamored with the Emerald Coast over and over again. For that very reason, this Destin vacation cottage has been attentively decked in tones of soft white with gleaming gold accents— whether you’re relaxing on the beach or here, at Cottage 204, a golden glow will embrace you. The interior has an incredibly calming effect— beach chic furnishings with a touch of metallic glam, comfortable seating and dining areas plus the convenience of a fully-stocked kitchen and a laundry room— will make all guests feel completely at ease. Plus, extras like a Jacuzzi bathtub in the Master Suite, large flat screen TVs throughout and a book collection are sure to add luster to any beach vacation spent here.
Cottage 204 also offers visitors some golden opportunities that other rentals simply cannot thanks to its location in Hidden Dunes. Set on the first floor, it enjoys the serenity of having one of Hidden Dunes winding waterways punctuated by babbling fountains in its backyard. The sound of cascading waters gently fills the cottage with a positive energy and creates a lovely backdrop to a picnic on the patio. Actually, all of Hidden Dunes amenities— the award-winning tennis center, the basketball and horseshoe courts, the grilling areas and the pool decks are surrounded by thick uncut forest. Hidden Dunes is also proud to offer one of the longest stretches of deeded beach access in the area. All this natural beauty and yet Hidden Dunes gates are still within very close range of several outdoor malls, golf courses and numerous restaurants.
Hidden Dunes offers six tennis courts with a Rubico Clay surface, which is the highest standard for clay tennis courts, and are maintained daily in order to provide the best playing conditions. Proper tennis attire is required to play and we encourage you to call ahead to schedule a match or take advantage of our clinics and private lessons. Please call to inquire about cost per session and equipment rental prices. Our friendly staff invites you to join for a game or two.

We have had eight beach vacations from the east coast to the gulf coast and this condo and beach was by far...THE BEST!!!
Beautiful layout/interior and the beach and pool was amazing!!!
We had extended family staying in units throughout the property. It was such a fun trip, amazing tennis clinics with Rhett at the Hidden Dunes Tennis Center.
This unit was decorated so adorably! Most importantly to me, it was very clean and well equipped. The screened in porch was so relaxing! The grounds were also lovely!
Hidden Dunes cottage 204 was clean, comfortable and we appreciated the great amenities. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and we loved the screened porch. If you play pickle ball, you'll no doubt find friendly locals to play with. My son loved having the basketball court close by and the beach was an easy walk. Thanks for the great stay!
This property is very much as advertised and the photos are accurate. The unit is beautiful and impeccably well decorated with a Florida beach theme throughout. It is one of the cleanest properties we have ever rented. This a perfect property for a couple or a young family.
The unit itself is absolutely stunning, however the property is average. There is a large pool near the unit, however it is not heated. And despite the widely held belief that Florida is always sunny and warm; it is not, especially in the panhandle (I was stationed in Jacksonville for two years) The winter months and early spring can be cool. We stayed during the second week of March and the temperatures were only in the 70s two days and in the 50s three days. There is a very small heated pool on the property, but it is a bit of a walk if you have young children.
Access to the beach is a fairly long walk and not easy to access with a very long walkway and many steps to get down to the beach. Anyone with mobility issues, such as the elderly or disabled, would find beach access difficult at best. The property is large enough there should be a shuttle to take you from the cottages to the beaches.
The property is very pretty with lots trees and vegetation, however it is not well maintained. The sidewalks and pathways were not cleaned once the entire week, so we were constantly tracking in leaves and other tree residue into the property. There also are not enough parking spaces near the unit.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your recent stay at Hidden Dunes Cottage 204. We were so happy to hear that you were well served by our rental unit and that we more than met your expectations for a quality beach vacation rental. We were sorry to hear that you were less than impressed with the Hidden Dunes property itself. While the shuttle is only seasonal. One of the things that makes this property attractive to guests is that it is easily walkable. The HOA maintenance uses a blower to clear the sidewalks of debris and is out most days, but depending on the weather while you were here makes a difference. If its rainy and/or windy they will be harder to keep clear. The Homeowner’s Association uses not only their maintenance staff for keeping up with the grounds but also uses a professional landscaping company along with an arborist and their own garden committee. Doormats are provided at the front and back doors of all units to help with anything getting tracked inside. Like most busy resorts, parking is challenging but based on the number of people the unit sleeps, it is fair. There are dedicated handicap spots. We agree beach access is difficult for those with mobility issues and we continue to pass along these types of comments to the Homeowners Association so they can make improvements. In the future, please feel free to contact us directly for any local advice about accommodation. We have been helping families make vacation memories in the Destin area for over 38 years!
This was our 30th anniversary and we chose to go to the beach to celebrate. We enjoyed our stay! The accommodations were comfortable and clean.

Our stay was amazing! Not far from the beach. We spent the first night getting familiar with the area by taking a walk to the beach along the Hidden Dunes trail, which was beautiful!!! I would definitely recommend..

Great location in a quiet family-friendly community. We loved the unit, the decor was very tasteful and it felt spacious for our family. Very close to the pool, and a 10 minute walk to the beach. We loved the beach service, and enjoyed the complimentary golf carts that would give you a ride if needed. The only downsides were things that could easily be improved: the shower head in the beautiful new tiled shower was awful, zero water pressure. Replacing it with a hand shower would be a huge improvement. Also, small things that we expected to find in a unit in this price range were missing: no salt or cooking oil, no coffee filters, not enough trash bags or soap, and the toilet paper was horrible. Like, really really bad. If I pay $1500 for a 4-night stay, I want Charmin. Very easily fixed, and I hope the management company fixes these very minor issues because overall our stay was excellent and these were the only things keeping me from giving it 5 stars.

We are very glad you enjoyed your stay at Hidden Dunes Cottage 204. The Beach and Tennis Resort is a wonderful family-friendly community. We apologize for the issues you experienced during your stay. However, we appreciate the suggestions. Unfortunately, Florida laws prohibit us from leaving any consumable product, including spices, condiments and ice, for health reasons. We provide one roll of bathroom tissue on the holder for each bathroom, a bath soap, a roll of paper towels, and two bags per trash can. We also provide a welcome kit with a sponge, dish soap, packets of dishwasher detergent and packets of laundry detergent upon arrival. Due to varying lengths of stay as well as guest allergies and brand preferences, Newman-Dailey has found that guests appreciate shopping for the products they need and want for weekly stays. We appreciate the wonderful review and passed along your suggestions to the property manager to discuss with the owner. We hope you come back very soon!
