Forever Grateful

Sometimes the words “thank you” just are not enough to convey the appreciation. The feeling that my family and I have towards you and the Newman-Dailey team is so much more than just gratitude. When we got the initial call from Lynda, our hearts sank. I think the level of gloom that call brought was equal to the loss of a family member. This vacation means so much to us for so many reasons. You and Lynda did so much to not only salvage our trip, but to even enhance it and make it more special! You have truly gone above and beyond. I and the family Continue reading

Destin Party Boat Fishing

Destin is known as the World’s Luckiest Fishing Village. So, if you’re feeling lucky or just feel like getting fishy, hop aboard the Destiny or the Destin Princess Party Boat and set sail for a 6 or 8 hour cruise.       Locally owned and operated, these captains and crews have been in the business for a long time, dating back to what we call ‘Old Destin’. And while you’re out there, it does take you back in time to simpler days where it w just you and the sea battling over the fish below Continue reading

Thank you Newman-Dailey!

Jeanne, My family & I are just returning from a beach trip to Destin. We  stayed at St Lucia in Silver Shells and rented through you guys for  the first time. I felt like I needed to send this email to you since  it was probably the best rental experience we've ever had.  We've been  coming every year for what seems like our entire lives. We always rent  from different people/agencies since we usually go through vrbo.   From the minute we checked in at Beachside Inn and experienced Kellie  Hudson and Continue reading

AMAZING Vacation in Destin

We thoroughly enjoy hearing about our guests great experiences... "Thank you and your staff for such an AMAZING vacation last month at Silver Shells. My fiancé and I were not only impressed by the OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE, but the location, cleanliness of the condo, as well as the best hospitality from you and your staff. Even now over a month later, we are still talking about what a wonderful time we had. The memories that were created last month will definitely last a lifetime. I don’t remember everyone’s name that helped book our Continue reading

Thank you!

Dear Kate, Kerbi and the Newman-Dailey Staff: I was just about to go for a run and heard a knock on the door, which seemed a bit odd since no one other than my family back in Minnesota knows I am here! Anyway, it was a delightful young lady named 'Mary' delivering me a fruit basket from N/D! The timing couldn't have been better, as I was just thinking a banana would be a good 'pick me up' for my daily run. Anyway, thank you for the delicious fruit basket and the warm welcome. While my extended winter vacations are just beginning Continue reading

Hidden Dunes Beach #11

We stayed at Beach Villa 11 at Hidden Dunes this weekend Thursday night through Sunday morning (October 31 – November 3). Everything about the unit was wonderful.  It was so spacious and decorated so beautifully.  It was a girls weekend and we had so much fun relaxing on the porch with a glass of wine and heading out to the beach (which was breathtaking).  We all decided that we need to make it an annual trip!  We would definitely rate it five out of five stars.  It would also be perfect for families with all the pools...

Jade East Condo #910

To: Ms Jeanne Dailey We recently spent 5 nights at Jade East 910 - the views were amazing and the condo was immaculate when we checked in. As we were departing we met the lady arriving to clean the condo. She was very articulate and having a business for almost 30 years myself I am impressed with employees who go the extra mile! I truly felt she was this type employee and wanted to pass along that information. I got her name: Frances Rodgers When we booked this condo we were told it was going to be remodeled the following week and when that Continue reading

Beachside Inn Review

September the 6th through the 8th. I think it is our 5th or 6th stay at the Beachside Inn or maybe the 7th who knows. We have stayed at other places in the Destin area all which have their own little things to like, but there is really no comparison to the Beachside. The Beachside Inn is not a luxury high rise with a lazy river that stands 40 floors tall. It is though a 2 story place I would say hotel but I don’t think that would be the right choice of words…it’s simple..I mean beds,TV,bath, small fridge, microwave.. Continue reading

Dear Staff, I'd like to personally thank you for your kind understanding and hospitalilty! My mother's serious illness forced us to change our dates of stay twice, yet both times you accomodated us without extra charges.  And, the Honeymoon Suite was just delightful! The wine and breakfast bread were very extra touches we both enjoyed. I just wish we could've stayed longer ---maybe next time! Sincerely, MC Jenkins, Tampa, FL Continue reading

A Diamond in the "Ruff" Along the Emerald Coast

We love to read reviews from satisfied guests. Here's the latest TripAdvisor Review from Deborah in Tallahassee highlighting her recent stay at Beachside Inn: Beachside Inn (2931 Scenic Hwy. 98 in Crystal Beach, a property of Newman-Dailey Resort Properties) left no stone unturned when it came to accommodations, hospitality and comfort. Walk a few steps onto the boardwalk and pavilion and you are frontstage to the Gulf of Mexico. The décor of this two-story, Spanish-motif Inn is very conducive to relaxation.

YOLO "You Only Live Once"

In keeping with our theme of staying cool, today we're highlighting another "cool" local watersport- YOLO boarding . YOLO, an acronym for "You Only Live Once", is a type of stand up paddle board, which was developed by local South Walton residents, Tom Losee and Jeff Archer. The sport has been growing in popularity as have YOLO boards sales and rentals. Stand up paddling is a great core workout and fun activity that provides an elevated view of the water, ideal for spotting marine life, ranging from fish and sting rays to dolphins Continue reading

"This is the Place"

Many enjoy the relaxing sounds of the beach, including the sound of waves lapping the shore, seagulls calling as they fly overhead and children's laughter.

Thanks for all your help!

Our family spent Thanksgiving weekend in Destin and Newman-Dailey helped us find just the right cottages in the Crystal Beach community. We all had a wonderful time enjoying the beach, golf, and a delicious meal. It was our first time to celebrate together away from home, but it probably won't be our last!

We took a gamble and we WON!

We enjoy every vacation at Destin. We love the clear water, white sand and bathing in the sun. After my father-in-law's passing in May of this year we invited my mother-in-law to join us. She was so amazed with all the changes since her last visit seventeen years ago. She really enjoyed herself too. Hope to see you all next year! We engaged your facilities blindly - taking at face value your word and the internet site that described both orally and visually your gorgeous home.

Thanks for the great accommodations!

We have been staying at several Newman-Dailey Resort Properties for several years in a row. I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our most recent stay at the Emerald Dunes... Your agents at the corporate office went out of their way to make our vacation one to remember. We will refer everyone we know that is going to visit Destin to Newman-Dailey!
