Beach Street cottages is a relaxing getaway in our favorite area of the USA (Beautiful Gulf Coast).
Right across the street from the beach, lots of good restaurants in walking distance (Kenny's D's=great oysters)

This was a great place to stay for a beach vacation. We had a one bedroom deluxe which was clean and very comfortable. Right across the street from the beach...so convenient! If ocean view and large pool are important to you though, this is NOT the location for you. The location was very quiet and tranquil. However, we were on a bottom level unit and when the guests staying above us came and went you could hear them very clearly on the stairs.
I would definately stay here again

We have gone to Destin over the past 5 years for our family vacation. We had always stayed at one of the large resorts but they were booked for our trip last year. We stayed at the cottages and will never go back to the large resort again.
The cottages are clean and have everything you need. We only had one bedroom, but the bunkbeds in the hallway were perfect for our son. A family with older children would do better with another bedroom if possible. The beach access is right across the street and it was not crowded with rented beach chairs and umbrellas like other resort beaches. The pool is small, but it was not too crowded most of the time. And since it is so close to the cottages, it was easy to get to and not a long walk for our 4 year old.
My only "complaint" is that there were no laundry facilities in the room. I had to make a nightly trip to the laundry room to clean our towels from the beach and pool; but that did not ruin the trip in any way.
We are returning again this year in June. We usually try to go in the off season but we are giving the summer a try. I'm sure our stay will still be perfect!

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Beachstreet Cottages for a week in October of 2007. My family has a timeshare there so we were there on the "points"system. We were on the top floor at the very back of the cottage "village" and that was probably a blessing as anything else would have been very close to the pool and there were many families with kids playing at the pool most of the time. It should be noted that the pool is very small and located very close to the cottages, and the cottages are positioned very close to eachother. 2nd floor is definitely preferable to a 1st floor unit- more privacy and less noise. The only real noise we heard was some construction going on behind the unit on a couple of the mornings, but otherwise, we had no noise complaints. The beach access is amazingly close- it really is like a private beach. Kenny D's is a restaurant located at the parking lot cottage enterance, and there's Captain Daves across the street on the beach so there are at least 2 good places to eat RIGHT outside your door- and the view from Captain Dave's at sunset is gorgeous. We also recommend the view from The Crab Shack down the street, for viewing the sunset.
The Cottages were clean and anything we needed was available to us (either already in the room, or a phone call away). My family has been coming to Destin for decades and it still has that wholesome family feel, but the cottages were charming enough, and the palmtree lined balcony private enough to feel like a little romantic getaway for my boyfriend and me. I would call the cottages quaint and clean and we will be going back in the fall of 2008!
