The Bed Setup:

Master Bedroom: King Bed

Guest Bedroom 1: 2 Queen Beds

Guest Bedroom 2: Twin over Full with Twin Trundle

Area Attractions:
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 Shops. 

All the excitement of Destin is just minutes away: a choice of watersports, golf, amusement parks, and outlet shopping.  One glimpse of Destin beaches and you're hooked. It must be the wide, white 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.

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!

Wonderful Stay with Minor Fixes Needed

Great stay overall! The house was clean, spacious, and matched the photos. Easy walk to the beach, though the access was easy to find, the actual beach spot was a bit confusing since Terra Cotta wasn’t marked on beach signs. Pool was clean and refreshing. A few small issues — early morning noise from trash and lawn service, outdated cookware specifically skillets, and a slow-draining guest tub (standing in water for most of the shower) -but nothing that ruined the trip. We’d definitely recommend and stay again!
