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. 

All the excitement of Destin is just minutes away: choice of water-sports, golf, amusement parks, and outlet shopping.  One glimpse of Destin beaches and you're hooked. 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.

Nearby are 6 miles of paved trails - perfect for both walking or biking. Pretty, unspoiled, Henderson Beach State Park is just down the road as well.  

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!

    Technically everything was fine. I felt the post was misleading that the rental rate did not include the golf cart. I had to pay an extra fee for the VRBO site. There were broken window shades throughout the house. There were cracked floor tiles. The kitchen was not completely clean. The overall appearance was tired and needed to be updated and freshened up. There were plenty of beach toys and chairs, but no bikes. I probably would not stay here again.

    This property is in a gated community with brick streets. The unit was awesome for our family of 10 and the golf cart pit it over the top

    Great property and super close to the pool and a 10 minute walk to the beach! Really appreciated the beach chairs, umbrellas, etc, that were left in the garage because that helped a lot. A lot of outdoor seating was nice to relax outside. Spacious rooms, large kitchen and dining area. Loved our stay!!

    House was beautiful as was the lawn and outt tree door area, location was perfect, beds were comfortable, plenty of extra blankets and pillows. The negatives, and I hate being negative. The listing title we found to be misleading, we only found out through happenstance that the golf cart was an additional fee, not a huge deal but could be for some. House needs to be exterminated. There were TONS of what we refer to as fruit flys and or drain nats. So much so when we were preparing breakfast we had one literally fly into our pan of eggs. Property manager did send someone the day we notified them, but to get only poured bleach down the drains and that didn’t get rid of them. Im not a person to complain about a bug crawling here or there in a vacation rental, it happens, BUT, when they are flying in to your food as you cook it’s an issue. With the amount we paid for the home I feel as if this should have never been an issue. We don’t leave dirty dishes in sink, or food out on counters. There wasn’t any good reason or excuse this should have been an issue. There were TONS of house/property rules that went along with this rental (including they expected us to take the trash out Friday morning when we didn’t arrive until late Thursday night (even sent a reminder text) which I found a bit much. I feel like if they are going to have that high of demands for their tenants it should be reciprocated, and the tenant should expect to not have to deal with bugs.

    Floors so dirty would make feet turn black if barefoot. Bugs galore in the house...Golf cart was from the 1970's I do not recommended staying at this property or Real Joy listings.

    Check In was easy process...9-4 and then stayed and checked out 9-8. Enjoyed the Destin area, the beaches and the home. Compfy beds. Well equipped and other then the stains on furniture and stools at the bar area, Nicely kept home. Close to nice seafood restaurants as well. Didn't use the Gulf cart this trip. Thought it was just the $500 refundable deposit. We're unaware of the $50 per day use. Didn't have that extra in our budget this time around. Perhaps next time we stay with Real Joy as well.
