Robert:
We have been traveling to Destin for Spring Break for the last 5 years and we stay at the Surfside Resort. It is a great place (Pool, Hot Tubs, Beach Front) and a very reasonable price. It is +/- 3 miles West of Sandestin on the Old Highway 89. You can get more info at
www.surfsideresort.com. We have stayed near downtown Destin and near Sandestin in the past but prefer to stay at Surfside. It's close to everything, yet out of the traffic that you will find near the downtown area. It is near the Silver Shells Outlet Mall and several good restaurants. For my money, Surfside is the place to stay. Good luck in your Destin travels!
