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 West 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!

Overall the experience was great! Location was great! Would have liked to have access to beach chairs, umbrella, floaties without having to pay per day or buy own just to leave for someone else since could not take with us. That would hav made the stay perfect.

Unit was clean and comfortable. Easy access to the beach just across the street. Not a true ocean view; only a glimpse between ocean front buildings, but enjoyed the balcony. Within walking distance to a few restaurants. No elevator so pack light since there are 2 flights of stairs.

The room was still filthy, the floor was so nasty if you walked barefoot it would turn your feet black. The door would not lock unless you used the dead bolts. The patio door would not latch and stay closed unless bolt locked and the center foot stool in the room was broken.

Great place to stay with family. Ocean view is awesome. Grandkids want to live there.
It was great for our family. Elevator would have been nice. But can't complain. When we needed things shopping wasn't far away. The walk to the beach was great. And having a washer and dryer there was fantastic. We shut the air off and enjoyed the weather while we were there. Sat on the balcony and relaxed. Spent time in the heated pool was awesome.

Pros: Prefect location, just a walk to the beach and just minutes from town. Nice and clean, great having washer and dryer available! Plenty of room and beautiful view. There is an umbrella available for you to use on the beach. Cons: we stayed almost a week, was only provided two rolls of toilet paper and one roll of paper towels. So if you are staying for long periods of time expect to have to purchase more. If you plan on cooking, reminder kitchen is fully stocked but there are no salt or pepper or any seasonings of any kind so be mindful for when you go to shop! They also provide a very small bottle of dish soap but have a dishwasher with a few dishwashing tablets. There was only a few of us so I didn’t see the reason for running the dishwasher every time we cooked so I had to buy more dish soap. Overall, I would definitely book this place again. Mindful of the things I will need in the future and what’s already provided!

Relaxing stay
The summary of condo was accurate. There were a couple of problems. There were no cleaning supplies. Every cupboard was so full we had to leave all our things on the counter. The upholstered chair looked so dirty we didn't use it. Realjoy contacted us to fix a tv issue. We agreed on a time and day and they never showed up or called to say they wouldn't be coming. The stove llight wouldn't go off and the stove door wouldn't close so I was afraid to use it. One chair on the patio was missing a bolt -afraid it might break. Really seemed like the whole condo needed TLC! On the bright side the bed was very comfortable! The view was good and a great place to hang out! Overall we had a very relaxing week and did enjoy ourselves!

Our pool code didn’t work when we first arrived but it was taken care of right away with a quick response. Everything was great. Very good views of the gulf. The property was close to shopping and dining establishments but far enough away that you didn’t get the crowds of people. Public beach access was right across the street and the beaches were not overcrowded at all. Would defiantly recommend. We traveled with two young kids and it was perfect!

Great location across the road from the beach and just a few blocks from Destin Commons. It was very quiet and peaceful. There is a partial gulf view from the balcony but it is obstructed by palm trees.
