5 Tips for Making the Most of Your Stay at Our Beachfront Bed and Breakfast in Destin

Published on April 1, 2015 On Guide to Destin, Florida

Vacation days are a precious commodity, so you don’t want to waste a second of your time on the Emerald Coast! To help you make the most of your getaway, the Henderson Park Inn has put together five tips for staying at our romantic beachfront bed and breakfast in Destin.

1. Leave Work at Home

Vacations are a time to get away from all of the responsibilities of everyday life, but laptops and smartphones make it far too easy for work to follow you on your trip. We recommend adopting a “no email” policy when you stay with us. Set up an away message for your office email address before you leave for vacation and focus all of your attention on relaxing, recharging, and reconnecting with the one you love.

2. Don’t Overpack

Overpacking is one of the most common mistakes people make when going on vacation. At the Henderson Park Inn, it’s really not necessary to bring very much, as almost everything is included. Every stay comes with complimentary breakfast, a boxed lunch, and beach services, such as chairs, umbrellas, and towels. However, there are four things everyone should bring when they stay at our Destin hotel.

3. Watch the Sunset from the Beach

The Emerald Coast has some of the most beautiful sunsets you’ll ever see! At the Henderson Park Inn, we offer a complimentary happy hour every evening at sunset. There is nothing better than sipping a cocktail with your sweetheart as the vivid pink sky gives way to night.

4. Enjoy the Great Outdoors

The Destin area provides many opportunities to get some fresh air and healthy activity. Our bed and breakfast is right on the border of Henderson Beach State Park, which offers more than 200 acres for bike riding, fishing, picnicking, and more outdoor fun.

5. Have Dinner at Our Award Winning Restaurant

Located onsite at the Henderson Park Inn, the Beach Walk Cafe offers the best fine dining on the Emerald Coast. Guests will enjoy gourmet meals while looking out at the Gulf Coast from the Sky View Deck. Our restaurant is well known for its mouthwatering seafood specialties, including Grilled Local Grouper, Shrimp and Grits, and Pepper Crusted Yellowfin Tuna. The entire menu can be found on the official Beach Walk Cafe website.
