Area Attractions:
Crystal Beach is a terrific residential area, yet close to restaurants and activities in Destin. Walk to close by restaurants such as the award-winning 790 Inn on the Gulf or Camille's, get your fro-yo on at U-Twirl Frozen Yogurt, or learn how to ride the waves at All-A Board Surf School.
Close by is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. Also, for the younger guests, a nautically/pirate themed outdoor playground features a 1,750 square foot soft play area with various creatures from the sea, slides, and a treasure chest! Destin Commons also has a mini-train for the kids. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Godiva Chocolates, AMC Movie Theaters and Bass Pro Shop.
If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach access (by Pompano Joe's), it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Meredith, thank you for your awesome review! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the spacious accommodations, the great pool, and the convenient proximity to the ocean. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back for another stay!
We stayed here for our fall break with our kids and it was great! Just a short walk to the beach and the house was beautiful!

Hello, we are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and that everything was neat and clean for you. We hope you also got to check out the beautiful lagoon pool! We appreciate your feedback and for choosing RealJoy Vacations!
We loved sea salt! It hosted our group so comfortably and had plenty of beds for everyone. There was a total of 9 of us on the trip. One recommendation to the owners is to update the pillows and spot clean the couch. Other than that everything was 10/10! Would definitely stay here again.

We will forward your comments regarding the pillows and couch to property managers so that they may pass along any suggestions to the owner of this unit. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
We stayed at Sea Salt for a bachelorette trip with a group of 8. There was more than enough space for everyone and the overall community is so quiet, peaceful. The beach is about a 10-15 minute walk which wasn’t bad. It’s also located in a convenient place for anything you’d need!! Highly recommend.

Toyia, we are very happy to know that your party enjoyed staying in this spacious, well-located 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home in Villages of Crystal Beach, and you would highly recommend it to others. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Loved our stay at this property. I perfectly suited myself, my husband, our two kids, my mom, my dad, and two of my teenage siblings.
It would be nice if this property had a golf cart and some beach chairs.
Also, there were clumps of hair in the sheets and sand when we arrived.
The temp through the house was finicky at first but we figured it out and had a WONDERFUL vacation.
We had a great time! Plenty of room for 12 girls! The walk to the beach was quick and easy. Only thing we really needed that we didn't have was baking sheets! LOL. We had to go out and get disposable ones for any baking needs. We ate a lot at the house so it was definitely needed.
Overall we loved this house, it was perfect for us. We had 7 adults and 6 kids. It fit us all comfortably. It has all the essentials we needed. The pool was a super short walk and really nice. The only downfall that I didn’t realize before booking was that this HOA does not allow golf carts (it says this in the listing hence why I didnt take off stars for this) but had I paid more attention I probably wouldnt have booked for that reason. Getting to the beach with lots of kids and all the beach must haves was a little harder but none the less we made it happen and had a great time!
This was a quality property that had everything we needed for a two-family vacation. There was plenty of room for the kids to play without bothering the adults. Beds were comfortable. Location was close enough to the beach to tempt us walking, but we ended up driving down to the closest public parking lot. Pool at the facility was too cold for our group's comfort, but that could be because we went the day after it rained. If staying at this house for more than a few days you'll need to make sure to bring your own toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher soap, and trash bags. We ran out of the supplied items well before the end of our 7-night stay. Communication with property management was very quick.

Cleanliness
The furniture was very dirty and badly stained - I would not allow my family to use the couch and chair until we found sheets to cover the entire surface, ( there was only one set of extra sheets to do this with- good thing we didn't need them for a bed). The cushions at the dining room table are also stained and need replaced! There was not a broom or dust pan to sweep the hard surface floors with during our stay. This would have been very helpful during a stay near the beach.
Overall our stay was good, the property was clean, well kept and in a great location. Plenty of space for everyone!
Unfortunately, the property management company went from mid level to downright awful. They violated our privacy not just once, but twice and minor children were involved. I communicated with them prior and made it perfectly clear that they were NOT to send anyone to the property while minor children were there or while we were there. After agreeing to wait and honor the request, they disregarded it totally and did what they wanted.
Went back and forth with them over the remaining days of our stay as well as for almost 10 days after our stay. They said they were willing to work with us to resolve the issue, but they did not. They refunded $138.99 for the Accidental Damage Waiver, not sure what that has to do with violating our privacy but that's all they were willing to do.
Again, the property was really good, but would definitely recommend the owner do some research for a new management company.
We were a Mother/Daughter group of 6. House was nice and mostly clean - the carpets need to be cleaned and a deep clean on bunk beds (which has been reported before). The necessities (hand soap, toilet paper and paper towels) were VERY scarce. We were given 3 rolls of toilet paper for 4 bathrooms for 5 days, no hand soap for powder bath, ONE roll of paper towels, TWO pods for the dishwasher and THREE trash bags. I understand not wanting to be wasteful, but these are things that we should not have to supplement. It felt cheap.
We had trouble with the TV in the upstairs queen bedroom upon arrival. So we emailed the next day, Wednesday (no response) and followed up with a phone call Wednesday afternoon. Immediately someone came out but was unable to fix the problem, They said they would send someone else out the next day (Thursday). When we left Sunday morning, we had yet to hear anything else from RealJoy and NO ONE ever came back out. The cable box was still on the floor unconnected and the TV obviously was still un-fixed.
Our complaints have very little to do with the house itself - it was a nice size, good location to beach and restaurants. Although I would suggest some blankets -- we were cold all week and had to use towels on our legs while watching tv in the living room.
Our biggest complaint is with the management company, the skimpiness of the necessities and their lack of follow through with our tv problem. I would also suggest that there is OVER communication before the stay. I was receiving emails and text messages that seemed unnecessary. When you send THIS many messages, they lose their impact and receivers begin to ignore them. It was too much.

Michelle, we appreciate you providing us with some feedback regarding your vacation rental experience at the nice Sea Salt, a 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home in Villages of Crystal Beach which comfortably sleeps up 13 guests. Housekeeping leaves only a certain amount of dish soap, paper towels, towels, toilet paper, trash bags, etc. for each property. It is up to guests to provide additional products for their stay. We truly apologize for the lack of communication related to the television not working properly. We will forward your message to property managers so that they review and assess this issue and the need for blankets. We hope you enjoyed the property overall. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.
*property met expectations
*having a bedroom for each child was essential since the ocean was filled with algae and we spent more time than usual in the condo
Amber, we are happy to know that you thought Sea Salt, a 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home in Villages of Crystal Beach, is an overall great rental. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.

George, we appreciate you letting us know that you experienced an easy check-in and check-out and you would highly recommend this well priced 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home in Villages of Crystal Beach to others. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.
The space was accurately described and fit the purposes for our stay. The pool area was beautiful. The walk to the beach was acceptable, just a short three blocks.
The biggest issue that we had was the cleanliness of the property. Upon arrival, I had to wash some spots off the wall in the bathroom. My family member had to sleep on the pull out sofa. When they pulled it out the first night, under the cushions were full of candy and snack wrappers.
The beds were very comfortable, however, I would definitely recommend bringing
Your own pillow. The pillows were very uncomfortable.
The house was as advertised. My wife said the cleaning crew must have gotten distracted as the unit was not as clean or as well stocked in paper towels, dishwashing detergent, toilet paper as most units we have rented in the past.
The property was really nice with a great location, however the cleaners did a poor job cleaning the property. They took only 1 hour to clean the entire property which is not a sufficient amount of time to effectively clean such a large space. Make sure you bring tissue, paper towel, and items of that nature.
No complaints. We had a great time. Only wish there was more parking

Valerie, we love that you had a great time while staying in the 4-bed/3.5-bath Sea Salt, having no complaints aside from the parking. Although we completely understand your frustration, we unfortunately have no control over such an issue. Real Joy and Vrbo websites state: "Please note Villages of Crystal Beach has parking restrictions. There are 3 parking spaces available in the driveway; 2 parked vertically and 1 parked horizontally at the end of the driveway. There are overflow spots around the pool and a small parking lot by the gate closest to the beach." Thank you for your patience and for choosing Real Joy.
