About the property

Hidden Dunes Cottage 217 Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey

Cottage 217 is an upstairs rental accessible by exterior staircase from the parking lot. There is an additional loft bedroom within the Cottage accessible by spiral staircase.

Hidden Dunes Cottage 217 will help you say hello to the sunshine and goodbye to the storm clouds of stress hanging around! The bright yellow walls, sunlit rooms and close proximity to the beach make happiness absolutely contagious. Gather the whole gang for a home cooked celebratory meal prepared in the upgraded kitchen that features granite countertops, new appliances and a sliding window to the screened-in balcony. With a combined seating for 17 to dine there will be plenty of room to toast and celebrate your wonderful Destin vacation.

Part of living that carefree Destin resort lifestyle includes water activities and Cottage 217 is the portal to liquid relaxation! Soak in the Primary Suite’s oversized tub, swim in one of the many pools nestled in Hidden Dunes acreage or take advantage of the deeded beach access for Hidden Dune’s guests then play in the rejuvenating waves of the Gulf.

Hidden Dunes also provides access to its pro tennis center featuring six clay courts, a basketball court, a horseshoe court, the Hidden Dunes lawn around the lake and acres of natural foliage . Even though you may feel miles away from it all, just beyond the Hidden Dunes gates lies epic shopping malls, golf courses and dining options.

Located in the sought-after Hidden Dunes Gulf and Racquet Resort, this community features a professional Tennis and Pickleball Center with 6 Rubico clay tennis courts and 3 hard-surface pickleball courts. The Rubico clay courts, maintained daily for top playing conditions, meet the highest standard for clay surfaces. Proper tennis attire is required, and guests are encouraged to call ahead to schedule a match, join a clinic, or book private lessons. Equipment rentals and session costs are available upon inquiry. Guests also enjoy dedicated deeded beach access exclusive to Hidden Dunes, making it the perfect destination for both relaxation and recreation.

will be back!

Had a wonderful stay. The property is always quiet. We enjoyed the pickleball, beach and pool. Such a bonus to have chairs and umbrellas available for our use at the beach. This was our 2nd time visiting.

family friends vacation

We love Hidden Dunes! We loved our stay in 217. It was perfect for 4 boys between 2 families and parents. Clean and comfy with all essentials. Only thing missing was any type of dishes with lids (Tupperware style) in order to save left overs. We would stay again.

We enjoyed two nights before we were evacuated due to hurricane Michael. Kudos to the Newman-Dailey crew for weather updates and keeping us informed prior to departure.

good week

Our family of 6 (4 adults and 2 children) stayed in Hidden Dunes Cottage 217 for a week. The weather was perfect and temperatures great. The White Diamond beach service was the best we've ever encountered, offering to carry things for you and would not accept tips. What's up with that? The HDR shuttle service to and from the beach was perfect as well, however we were only given the phone number to Security to call requesting the shuttle. Then the last day of our stay, Security asked if we didn't have the direct number to the shuttle. Hmmm, interesting. Upon check-in, we were given a map of HDR with several phone numbers listed, but think it'd be most helpful if direct number to shuttle was included, as well as a few more specifics about numbers given. Our cottage accommodations were average (wish I could say excellent). Loved the loft area and third bathroom, but overall things seemed well worn and not especially clean. I'm sure it's tough cleaning this time of year and it was "clean enough", just not exceptional. Please know you will have a walk to the great big awesome pool and a hike to the beach. Also, understand this cottage is upstairs, plus you have a spiral staircase inside to the loft area. Newman-Dailey was great to work with and we will stay at HDR again, just probably not 217 mainly because it's upstairs.

i didn't want to leave

What higher compliment for a vacation destination is there than " I didn't want to leave"? My family and I loved Hidden Dunes Cottage 217. The accommodations were lovely, the setting beautiful, and the beach was a short walk away. We can't wait to return to the Hidden Dunes!
