Area Attractions: 

All the excitement of Destin is just minutes away: choice of watersports, golf, amusement parks, and outlet shopping, one glimpse of Destin beaches and you're hooked. It must be the wide, sun-bleached beaches and the famous emerald waters. Not to mention the fabulous fishing, the world's most beautiful beaches, addictive seafood and the full array of activities for kids of all ages and more fun to be found in Destin. 

Here you will find wind surfing, snorkeling, water-skiing and parasailing offered all along the Gulf shores. Nearby attractions include a fascinating aquarium, Naval history museums, a fishing museum, and a zoo featuring Colossus the giant gorilla and rare white Bengal tigers. Of course, you'll want to savor the unique and delicious flavors of the freshest seafood available at any of Destin's more then 100 eateries! Restaurants here range from casual oyster bars to elegant bistros serving culinary delights guaranteed to please your palate.  

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! 

So, come enjoy the freshest seafood, go fishing for all types of salt and freshwater fish, explore fun shops and boutiques or simply relax on breathtaking beaches.

Charming condo, across from beach

The condo was very clean and the wood flooring gave it a warm feel while still maintaining the beach vibe. Loved the decor. It's a great layout and everyone can have their space. We loved walking across the street to the beach and the neighborhood coffee shop is so charming and is right around the corner.

Very clean, nice area that was quiet. Close to shops and restaurants. Had a problem with the smoke detector and they sent maintenance right away and followed up the next day. Only minor thing was finding the building because the address was for the house across the street from the condo so has to call to clarify. Overall it was a great stay and would highly recommend

Perfect location !

This place is lovely ! Perfect for a small family or a couple of friends. Great location to the beach! The beautiful beautiful beach of Destin ❤️. Camille’s is a must ! Great lunch , music and drinks. Dinner favorites are Back Porch and Boshamps for the freshest grouper ever and both on the water ! Rent your beach chairs and umbrella from La Dolce Vita! Dante will take care of you !! Couldn’t figure out how to turn on the ceiling fan in dining area and directions for TV would be helpful . We had an incredible relaxing time ! Thanks!

A couple of issues

Light fixture was leaking from an above property unit…fan did not work. No one got back to me when I ask for a call back
Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 7 January 2024
Jeff, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We apologize for the leak from the unit above. In looking through your reservation, we can see a clear line of communication between us regarding the leak. We had to wait for the maintenance team for the unit above to repair the leak. They had to wait for the water to completely drain and unfortunately, this did not happen during your stay. We'd like you to know that everything has now been repaired. Our records indicate that you did not reach out regarding the fan. We do see that we issued a refund to make up for the frustration caused by the leak. We hope you were able to enjoy some time on our beautiful beaches and had a safe trip home. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
