Top James Lee Beach Hotel Reviews

The Henderson Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place with lots to do!! We enjoyed the rooftop bar and food was so good!! You also get free beach chairs in morning."

Comfort Inn & Suites Destin near Henderson Beach

8/10 Good

"We went into the room and the door was cracked open and there was a random wash cloth on the desk. Other than that it was a very clean room. Part of the deadbolt system was a little broken but we made it work. We had no issues with the staff or any of the house keepers. The elevators were a little sketchy."

Sea Oats Motel

8/10 Good

"It’s better suited for a longer term stay than the overnight we did. I liked that there was a dehumidifier in the room to combat the dampness from the sea air. Front desk person, 8/24 I didn’t get her name, was friendly, efficient, and put up with my bad jokes."

Destiny Beach Villas by Southern Vacation Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"The property is exactly as advertised. Loved the convenience of the pool right in front and a beautiful view of the lake in back. Short drive to Everything, Harbor Walk was 15 mins away. I enjoyed and will be book again."
