Nearby attractions include a Big Kahuna's Waterpark, The Track Family Fun Center and an array of watersports available at Destin Harbor. Of course, you'll want to savor the unique and delicious flavors of the freshest seafood available at any of Destin's more than 100 eateries!

Just 1.5 miles away 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.
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!

The location is great and a 2 minute walk to the Beach. There is enough room for everything. Loved the place.
I don’t don’t think it was swept from the last person but I’m glad we had a broom to clean it up.

Thank you for letting us know that this was a great vacation spot. We are sorry you felt you had to sweep the floor when you arrived. If we had known, we would have sent the cleaners back out to do it. We're glad the location was convenient and everyone had enough space. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
We are a family of 6 and it was perfect. A few minutes walk from the beach. For sure we would like to go back to Destin in the warmer season. Nice discovery!
