SummerPlace Inn

Location/ cleanliness

Well kept hotel with great proximity to the beach! We could have walked, but it was easier to drive half a mile and use the large public parking lot. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the breakfasts in the morning had a good selection.

This was our second time here, but this time with snow—believe it or not! It’s a rare sight, but a true miracle happened on Destin Beach. The breakfast was decent, with eggs and hot coffee to start the day. Since we visited during the snowfall, everything looked absolutely beautiful, like a winter wonderland on the White Coast. The beach is within walking distance from the hotel, making it a convenient spot. The rooms were clean, and both the indoor and outdoor pools were heated, which was perfect for the chilly 28-degree weather. This hotel is a hidden gem—close to everything, clean, offering breakfast, and all at a reasonable price. I’ll definitely be coming back next time!

I’ve been staying here for the past 10 years. You can tell over the years, the hotel is getting older and outdated. However, they are improving it with updated furniture and paint. Location has been been the best park and it’s a good place for kids. There’s an indoor and outdoor pool and go-cart/play area right next door.

The location was great (just across the street from the ocean - a short 5 minute walk). It was centrally located from shopping, restaurants and tourist activities.
