Destin Chair Rentals...Help!
We are traveling to Destin mid-to-late September and I am unsure what to do about beach chairs. We have always brought our own chairs, but it seems there is a rule at Emerald Dunes that personal chairs have to sit behind the beach rental chairs. We are coming to the beach to enjoy the ocean view, and traveling with a child, so we need to be able to see him in the water. Renting the chairs ahead of time from Barefoot Beach for 4 adults is over $700 plus taxes, and they tack on a "service fee" of $62 that they do not charge if rented in person. The rentals are nonrefundable, too. What if it rains? This seems insane to me. Is it beneficial to reserve chairs ahead of time? Will there be any gulf front space for personal chairs? I'll take any knowledge you have, as it has been a handful of years since we traveled to Destin.
