At Last Cottage
The cottage was perfect !! It was clean, perfectly laid out and so close to everything! We enjoyed being able to walk to Harborwalk Village and the restaurants without having to pay for parking. We’ll definitely be back !

A most enjoyable stay!
Cottages By The Bay… a hidden gem …adjacent to the busy resorts
& WhatNots that vie for attention & your money…
The enclave of cottages is likened to
a quiet retreat… yet near things to enjoy.. such as the Boardwalk…and Nature Preserves…we look forward to a return visit to The Cottages on the Bay!

Perfect Getaway Spot
I recently stayed at At Last in Cottages by the Bay, and it was an incredible experience. The cottage was beautifully decorated, clean, and spacious—perfect for a relaxing vacation. The location was great, close to the bay and just a short drive to the beach, restaurants, and shops.
The home itself had everything we needed, from a fully stocked kitchen to comfortable beds and a cozy living space. The outdoor area was a great bonus for enjoying morning coffee or an evening drink.
At Last is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in Destin. I’d definitely stay here again!
Just some things to be aware of. There were no washcloths or hand towels. 6 bath towels WERE provided. The TVs did not seem to be smart TVs. If they were we could not figure them out. The channel listings on the TVs were VERY limited. The TV upstairs only picked up news channels. You will need to bring all of your own seasonings for cooking as none are provided. Not even salt, pepper or sugar. Bring your own K-Cups as there are none.
Having said all of this,,, if the TV situation improved I would have no problem staying there again.
