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 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!

A Beachy Keen week

The house was perfect for our family. Our daughter and her family loved the lower level with 4 children. The bunk room was perfect for their 3 boys. The access to the beach, and privacy was awesome. We loved our week and look forward to returning!!

Great location

The townhouse was nice and the location was great. We rented a golf cart and never had to drive our car the whole time we were there. Private Beach was great - we did have to chase off many people that were in our spot and/or using our rented chairs.

Spectacular views!

Loved being beachfront! Large gathering area and large decks were a huge plus. Beds were very comfortable! Terrific location, close to everything Destin. Unit could use a little updating and a few more coffee mugs but that didn’t take away from our enjoyment. Great place for our family vacation!

Fabulous family vacation

Everything was just as listed! The house is clean and in a fabulous location. Who doesn't want to wake up and sit on the deck, drinking coffee and watching dolphins! Just a few steps to the white sandy beach, crystal clear water. The management company was immediately available when we had a question. A wonderful handy man we met and had awesome conversations. Overall we were absolutely happy with the stay. A place to come back to!

Really enjoyed our stay but there was a awful smell that came and went.

Love the place and location however there is a grate in the sidewalk outside the front door that must be something for the the entire complex that caused an awful smell so not sure we would stay in this unit again but would definitely stay at Green Reed again.

Outstanding Location

Loved the beach views from the deck with 6 colorful Adirondack chairs. Lower level is not as pictured on VRBO. A 4th very tiny bunk room has been added taking away the double glass doors on master bedroom that offered views of the beach. Very disappointing! Otherwise you can’t beat the location.

Great location, problematic house

The location is perfection. That was what made the trip for us. But we had a few pretty serious issues with the house. When we first walked downstairs we were met with a really strong dank and musty smell. A couple of our friends opted to sleep on the couch upstairs because they couldn't tolerate the smell. When we got home everything we had brought with us smelled musty. There was a leak in the kitchen sink that resulted in water pouring out when we washed dishes. There was another leak in the ceiling in the kitchen. When someone would shower on the third floor it would leak right above the coffee maker. The first time we noticed this plaster had fallen down onto the counter as well. You could see they had patched it up many times. Towards the end of our trip I decided I should let the property manager know, even though you could tell these were long standing problems. They decided they needed to come over right away to address these problems, and they insisted they had know idea any of this was an issue before this. There is no way that's possible with as bad as these issue were. Ultimately that is up to the owners of the home, not property management.We started finding cockroaches all over the house too. I know cockroaches exist. But I also know if you don't treat them they get into your house and they become a problem.The house is cute, the private beach is amazing. Hopefully they get those issues in order, because it could be an ideal vacation spot.

Not great

The view was beautiful, but there was ZERO privacy on the porches. The porches (balcony, whatever you want to call it) had no privacy, you could literally see inside several units beside you. The steps going down from the top porch to the bottom were almost broken, the first step was tilted down and my whole family tripped multiple times going downthe stairs, not safe at all. The place seemed clean, but it smelled of mold and mildew. We all had to wash our clean clothes that stayed in our bags because of the awful mildew smell AFTER we got home from our trip.Under the sink in the kitchen was a bowl to catch the leak, it was very obvious the sink had leaked for a long time. All 3 bathtubs were not very clean, hair in and around them. The bottom level smelled very strongly of mold/mildew. The toilet seat was broken, the condensation was so bad there was a constant drip from the bathroom vent. The master bed had no fitted sheet, just a mattress protector. The company quickly brought us a new set of sheets. Everyone i talked to was very pleasant and helpful. The property itself was just absolutely not worth the price.

Super super clean home right on the beach. Three beautiful decks overlooking the ocean. Two chairs and an umbrella set up for us every day. Private beach patrolled by security!! Kitchen has everything you need to cook, Publix and Whole Foods nearby. Or walk to several restaurants if you don’t want to cook. It rained one day but we went to the outlet mall 10 minutes away. Best Vacation, can’t wait to come back.

February Family Fun

If you want to be as close to the beach as you can get then this property is for you. We enjoyed the view of the beach from all rooms and the sound of the waves at night. The first floor a/c did not work well and it was pretty warm during the day in that area but we did not bring it to the manager's attention so we can't really fault them. If you are coming with toddlers I would suggest bringing a infant gate for the stairs. We had 4 under the age of 3 so we had our hands full! Overall we loved the time spent at this property with our grandkids!

Paradise found!

Beautiful property with every amenity needed. The view from the home is worth every penny. Perfect location to watch sunrise AND sunset and away from the hustle and bustle. The private beach meant we didn’t need to worry about saving our spot. Plenty of room for everyone. The property manager responded quickly to our questions. It was hard to leave, but it is a getaway that we would definitely do again (and we usually don’t go to the same spot twice).
