Every year in May, my brothers and cousins & all their wives and girlfriends converge on the Sea Oats in Destin for a family reunion. My daughter, granddaughter, and the boyfriend also join in. We love the hospitality and amenities, and we always have a genuinely good time. The rooms are wonderful, the penthouse condo (where we gather to cook... More

The staff at Sea Oats was delightful and very helpful. Our efficiency room had everything that we needed for a few days at the beach. Beach chairs and umbrella are set up in the morning and ready for the day (fee). More

We are currently staying in the Motel as I am writing this review. After much research on trip advisor, we chose to stay at this location based on price and proxmity to the beach. You are literally just a few steps to the white beach sands of Destin. We chose the bottom floor for the onvience with the little ones.... More

My husband and I have been going to Destin for our vacation for the last 30 years (for him about 45 years ever since he was a child) and have stayed at numerous places, but Sea Oats (Unit #22) has always been our favorite. Could not ask for a more perfect spot right on the beach and resonably priced. Not... More

Though we could not reserve a room for a one-night weekend stay, we were able to get a room. Nothing fancy though the bathroom had been updated and was lovely. The site of the beautiful beach, sound of waves and smell of the ocean made our short stay very special. We were right on the beach and it was delightful. More

Loved the old Florida charm with all the updates. Very impressed with the ambience.However, the smoking concerns are paramount. Although all rooms are non smoking, the second hand smoke flows endlessly from balconies and patios. We switched rooms to get away from the smokers near the office only to have smokers to our right and down below us. If you... More

Stayed at Sea Oats for only one night but enjoyed our stay. We were right on the beach which was beautiful. Walked home from the Crab Trap restaraunt on the beach at sunset. Our room was nice but had an air conditioner that was so loud I had to turn it off in the middle of the night to sleep.... More

I'll admit I was skeptical at first sight, but upon walking in the room I was pleasantly surprised. I guess that after driving down scenic 98 & seeing all the fancy condos & other buildings, & then seeing this older, simple building, I was thinking "dated." Not so! There is a small kitchen area that is very modern & clean,... More
