A Romantic Beach Escape

Henderson Park Inn – Destin, Florida

Sit back, relax, and cozy up to that special person in your life. It’s Valentine’s Day all year long at the Henderson Park Inn, a charming Southern bed and breakfast in Destin, Florida. The inn was voted the #1 Most Romantic Hotel in North America and #2 in the World by About.com readers, and has been awarded numerous other accolades by prestigious travel sites and publications. It is part of the Southern Living Hotel Collection and has consistently been voted in TripAdvisor’s top romantic hotels in the United States.

Upon check-in at the inn, which is housed in two Nantucket cottage-esque buildings right on the sugar-white sands of Henderson Beach State Park, guests receive a warm welcome, a bottle of wine and grapes in their room, and endless scenic views of the Gulf of Mexico. Your stay at the inn comes with activities such as biking along the beach road, sunset happy hour daily at the Tiki Bar, a breakfast buffet, and boxed lunches served daily. Dinner at the acclaimed Beach Walk Café is not included in your room price, but well worth it for a romantic candlelit meal with the peaceful sound of waves in the background.

For destination weddings, the Henderson is an ideal getaway and will accommodate any couple’s dream of romantic sunset vows and the perfect place for their family and friends to stay as they celebrate together. Most rooms at the inn are equipped with coffee and coffee maker, a mini fridge stocked with water, and a microwave, while some have cozy fireplaces—and all boast the incredible view of the Gulf and beach so you can snuggle up on your private balcony and watch the sun go down, or enjoy a glass of wine under the stars.

Community is also key at the Henderson Park Inn. From the friendly staff, chefs, and bartenders to your fellow guests, it seems rare to see a face there without a smile. The lobby includes a coffee station and community fridge with soft drinks, water, and snacks. Board games and books are available to borrow. Strike up a conversation with your fellow guests during happy hour and you could end up in a Scrabble rivalry later on. If you prefer privacy, taking a stroll along the beach and coming back to your room’s whirlpool tub.

Located centrally in Destin at the very end of Old Scenic Highway 98, the Henderson Park Inn is adjacent to the quiet natural beauty of Henderson Beach State Park, ensuring privacy and relaxation during your stay. And coming soon, the inn will be expanding its horizons north and adding more guest rooms, as well as a full-service spa and fitness facility for its guests to enjoy. Meeting spaces and private event rooms are also available.

 

Whether you’re looking to just relax and get away from it all, planning a quiet honeymoon with your true love, or maybe just looking for a beautiful and peaceful getaway with close friends, this charming B&B offers New England style with Southern hospitality. It’s certain to be a vacation well spent.
