THE PALMS OF DESTIN, Destin

The Palms of Destin sits just under 1 km from Destin Beach, with Henderson Beach State Park a 12-minute walk away. The vibrant Destin strip, Big Kahunas water park, and Destin History and Fishing Museum are all nearby. A free shuttle provides beach access, avoiding the busy highway crossing. Several restaurants and shops, including a Walmart, are within walking distance. However, the beach is across a main road, so using the shuttle or driving is recommended for those with heavy gear. The property is about 5 km from the main Destin strip, but local dining and shopping are close by.

Each apartment includes a private entrance, air conditioning, and a layout with one living room, two separate bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The kitchen comes with a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, and cookware, plus a barbecue on the balcony. In-unit laundry with a washer and dryer is available, and streaming-capable flat-screen TVs are featured. Balconies offer views over the pool, lagoon, or gulf, depending on the tower. While many units are clean and spacious, some are individually owned and may vary in furnishings and condition; some second bedrooms may lack windows. It is advisable to confirm the specific unit's features when booking.

The resort features a large outdoor pool area with a heated pool, a separate kids' pool, and a hot tub. Sun loungers, umbrellas, and beach towels are provided. On-site leisure includes a fitness centre, tennis court, children's playground, and board games. Beach equipment such as umbrellas, chairs, and towels is available for use. The pool area is a central family hub, and the property also has a picnic area with BBQ grills. However, some common areas like hallways and elevators may show wear and tear.
