This is the perfect place to stay in Destin. There is a resort fee but it's totally worth it. You have a complimentary shuttle that takes you within 5 miles of the resort which was far enough for us to see what we wanted to see. You have a private beach so you don't have to deal with over crowding. The staff is top notch and friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We will definitely be staying at The Henderson anytime we go to Destin.
