Perfect view!! Condo is on the 16th floor so had an amazing view of the ocean! Wasn’t too busy so elevators were always accessible. Super short walk to the beach and really appreciated the complimentary chairs and umbrella. Would definitely stay here again!

Very Nice
by Paul
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We very much enjoyed our stay at Hidden Dunes. We were slightly perplexed that a place so tightly managed would allow the coffee pot in the unit to be left dirty (including coffee grounds) as well as the kitchen counter. Nonetheless, the unit was otherwise clean and well furnished.

★★★★★ 5 of 5
This property was conveniently tucked into a beautiful resort property. As soon as you open the door a gorgeous view of the ocean welcomes you in. Having beach service everyday was so great, no lugging chairs and umbrellas around. The condo was stocked incredibly with towels and the linens were fresh and clean. There was plenty of kitchen items to cook with when we wanted to lay low and stay in or pop down to the community propane grills to fire up some surf and turf. Host was attentive and communicated great along with the on-site staff being diligent in keeping the property clean. Recommended!

Hidden Dunes - 4th of July
by Dana D
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The condo was beautiful! Appliances all seemed to work properly. Ice maker was fantastic! I was skeptical about being on the 16th Floor, but the elevator was super fast and the view was incredible, so I was pleasantly surprised. We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay. Hope to return!

This condo was beyond amazing! Very relaxing environment. Easy check in. The entire condo was clean. The decor makes you feel like you're right at home with an amazing ocean view. I loved the complete privacy on the balcony that we had. Oh, and they have an ice machine in the kitchen so yes it helped with the drinks on those hot July days!!

We loved hidden dunes 1602. It was so nice! The master bathroom is gorgeous and relaxing. The view could not be any better! The access to the elevator was right outside the door. There is not one thing I would change about the condo. We enjoyed it so much there were a few days we just wanted to relax inside! we will be back again.

Mini Vacation
by Deann
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
We recently stayed in Hidden Dunes Gulfside 1602 and had a fabulous long weekend. The weather was perfect! In fact, it was so perfect, we were able to book an extra night. The staff in the office was super friendly and very helpful as well as the guards at the gate, especially Latrise (sp?)! The condo was nicely decorated and had everything we needed. The only reason for the 4 star rating is neither one of the ice makers worked. But other than that, it had everything we needed. Loved the full size washer and dryer! We will definitely try to stay here again!!

This condo was great! The view was amazing! This is a well kept condo with a beautiful view. It was perfect for us and our 4 kids. The bedrooms were good size and I always love having the ability to wash laundry in our unit. My only frustration was the lack of silverware. There are plenty of plates bowls and cups but barely any silverware. Other than that the place was great!

Perfect Spring Break Escape
by Ashley MI
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We stayed here recently for Spring Break and it was our first trip to the Destin area. Seeking a change of scenery from the dreary blahs of Michigan weather, this condo was exactly the escape we needed!
We arrived early and the staff did everything possible to make us comfortable while we waited for the room to be ready. Top notch service - very friendly. Fell in love with the view from the balcony and master bedroom immediately! The condo was comfortable and met every expectation we had based on the photos. Enjoyed all of the amenities - the beach chairs, pool, fitness center - etc. The kids had plenty to do and it was nice to be right on the beach where they could go back and forth to the condo quickly/easily. Also loved that the beach was less crowded in this area.
The only thing I would change about the unit itself is the DVD player in the bedroom; it would be nice if it were a fully functional TV. The ice maker was AWESOME, as was everything else. We enjoyed our time here so much, it was difficult to leave! Looking forward to an opportunity to return for sure!

Great view from Balcony
by David
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Gulfside HD1602. This is our 2nd stay here for Spring Break. Last year our family of 5 plus a friend stayed a week in the outermost cottages. They have 3 distinct sections: cottages, villas and gulfside. Their website is excellent and full of information including maps, layouts, prices & availability. The prices typically increase as you get closer to the gulf. It's a gated community with a 24/7 guard house monitoring the only road in and out. The outermost cottages are closest to Hwy 98 but that means you also have the furthest walk to the Gulf. Last year we were in the furthest so it took about 10 min to walk to the beach. You can't drive because there's no place to park. The cottages are basically 4 unit bungalows so you might get some noisy neighbors. The scenery is nice. There are many trees and well shaded with a small patio/deck and all the usual household amenities.
As you move toward the beach you pass the villas which can be more luxurious and larger holding large parties of even 10 or more. They have a couple of swimming pools that are shared between really cottages and villas.
This year we tried the Gulfside units which is basically a 19 story high rise that's at the gulf end of hidden resorts and on the beach. We were on the 16th floor unit 1602. Check in was a breeze. They keep shopping carts and those wheeled luggage carts you find at hotels at the garage level. Each unit gets 2 parking spaces in the deck below so your vehicle can be kept out of the hot sun.
The 2 elevators are clean, modern & fast! I never had to stop more than a few times getting up and down 16 floors. We were in a 2 bedroom 2 bath unit. 1602 does not have a pull out couch, but it does have 2 full beds. The master with the king has a beautiful large window view if the gulf. The small but quaint balcony was our favorite. It had a gorgeous view of the Gulf and the beach below. It's also "shaded" by the balcony above. As you sat and ate on the table and chairs... it felt like you were right on the beach listening to the mild roar of the waves splashing on the Gulf Coast sand. There are 3 tvs but the TV in 2nd bedroom is only for dvd. Oh you get free dvd rentals at a small kiosk. The kitchen is fully stocked with usual utensils & dishes and resort provides a starter pack of dishwashing powder. I noticed that this unit had a new microwave and stove. The freezer's ice maker works great AND this unit also has a independent ice maker built into the counter! Nice touch bc you won't run out of ice. The master bathroom was a little dated but everything worked. There were no loud noises of construction or from neighbors (end of March 2017).
Here are a couple of tips. Eglin AFB is not far so on some mornings you may be woken by the roar of jets or helicopters on maneuvers. They were around mid morning so you should be awake enjoying the beach anyway :-) The glass door to the balcony is seriously heavy and a challenge to open. Only on day 3 did I figure out that it was easier to use the opposite edge of the glass door. Hwy 98 westbound toward Destin & from Hidden Dunes is very heavily congested with traffic starting late evening especially during vacation months like Spring Break. There is a newly opened Walmart about 5 min down 98 and plentiful restaurants which I've been Yelping about since we got here. Lastly the wifi leaves much to be desired. It's probably a combination of heavy usage with too many users and the fact that their wifi is not secured with a password.
The beach attendants are always helpful. The swimming pool has a small hot tub and kiddie pool. This section of the beach is not congested like the larger Sandestin Hilton about 5 blocks away. I have no reservations about returning to Hidden Dunes next year.

Condo 1602 was everything we had hoped it would be. The condo was exactly as pictured on the website, so there were no surprizes (and surprizes usually aren't good in my past experiences). It was very nicely appointed and clean. The facilities provided extras such as basketball courts, tennis courts, grilling area, and a gulside pool & hot tub. The kids had a great time and so did we!

by brad

The condo has great views and is a relatively spacious condo. Easy to get in and out of and very close to the amenities in destin. The only issues were the washing machine doesn't complete its rinse cycle and the closet doors in the master closet don't close properly. Easy to fix but needs to be fixed. My wife, me, and 2 year old son stayed here and had a great time though.
