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.
Here you will find wind surfing, snorkeling, water-skiing and parasailing offered all along the Gulf. 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! Restaurants here range from casual oyster bars to elegant bistros serving culinary delights guaranteed to please your palate.
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.
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!

Stacey, Thank you for the5-star review. We're pleased to hear that the home was a great fit for your large family and that you enjoyed the easy walk to the beach. We hope to welcome you back for another stay soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Pros: New interior renovation was great; nice quiet location; walking distance to beach and Restaurant.
Cons: Strong musty odor downstairs; exterior needs painting; tunnel to the beach was a smelly, impassable swamp; property was sitting vacant but management would not even consider early check in.

Nicholas, Thank you for letting us know about your stay. We're sorry your experience was, “Meh.” If we had known about the musty odor during your stay we would have sent someone to remedy the situation. We will pass along your comments in regard to the exterior paint to the owners for their consideration. We're glad you enjoyed the quiet location and the interior renovation. Early check in is difficult for us because we have a small window between guests to clean. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Great place for my group of friends. The house was awesome and newly renovated. Only suggestion would be to secure additional parking spaces to accommodate a group of 11. Only 2 passes provided but 3 or 4 seems more realistic for the 11 guests. I would absolutely book this place again.
