Grand Caribbean East features a terrific heated pool, hot tub, BBQ grilling area, outdoor showers, and picnic space. The complex has a friendly, helpful staff. Private, deeded beach access is directly across the street – less than a minute's walk from the building. 

Area Attractions:  

The complex is also just a few minutes drive from all Destin has to offer, including go-kart rentals, dolphin cruises, charter fishing, parasailing, Big Kahuna's Water Park, The Track Family Fun Center, and the Silver Sands Outlet Mall.

Several outstanding restaurants are within walking distance, including one of the most highly regarded in Destin, 'The 790 Cafe' located at The Inn at Crystal Beach and 'Beachwalk Cafe', rated one of Destin's best by Florida Trend Magazine. Grand Caribbean East is also within walking distance of Destin's famous Crab Trap restaurant.

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!

Clean, very comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen. Our only complaint was the main bedroom closet was locked as the “owners closet”. There was an area built into the wall as a closet- but had less than 12” of hanging clothes rod. We were 3 people sharing that tiny space to hang clothing. The condo is managed by Real Joy Vacations- they are responsive and were helpful when we had an issue with the dryer.

Amazing Gem on the Emerald Coast

This condo was absolutely gorgeous from the beautiful beachside decor to the perfect location. When we arrived, we were greeted by the beautiful sounds of jazz music in the master bedroom and a tower of Nothing bundlets and a bottle of rose wine -- a perfect way to start off my birthday celebration! Everything we needed was provided and the location was convenient where we could visit the beach, restaurants and shops. It was peaceful and most of the neighbors were nice. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Overall, we would definitely book this condo again whenever we return to Destin. Thanks for an amazing experience!

Cozy and relaxing

This place was in a great location to where family was staying. We were right across from the beach with access at either side street by the building. The pool was warm and the hot tub was great in the evening after a fun packed day. The unit was on the 3rd floor with a great view. The kitchen was very nice with all the appliances you could need. The living area was very comfortable and cozy. The bedroom and bathroom were nice also with a king size bed. Only complaint would be closet space as there was just a small cubbyhole to hang stuff up in, but all and all would chose this place again for next year.
