Please note that there are parking restrictions within the Villages of Crystal Beach. There are two parking spaces available in the driveway of the home.

Area Attractions:
There are wonderful shops and restaurants close by and great attractions such as golf courses, Big Kahuna's Water and Adventure Park, boating, fishing, and water-sports!
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!

10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Great space for our family, our sons are married and with kids, so everyone always wants the king bed. This vacation home had 3, which is why we booked it. We had an awesome vacation, the home was lovely. We have visited this community in previous years, its a great place!
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2025
This was our first big family trip and A-Wave-Away was the perfect home for our stay. We had 14 of us and there was plenty of room for everyone. This home had everything we needed and more. Just steps from a big beautiful pool that the kids loved more than the beach! Communication with the property manager was quick and wonderful. We so enjoyed our time here. We hope to be back again someday.
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2025
Overall the property was great. The pool/Hot tub were exactly as described and the property location is perfect for whatever activities you want todo. The house is definitely showing some wear and tear from visitors.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2023
The location of the property was nice; however, the reviews and pictures were VERY misleading. All the furniture is very dated and some covered and the coverings dirty. The floors were filthy and the carpets appeared to have NEVER been cleaned. The amenities suggest a kids play ground and a lazy river. None of these existed. The ice maker/water on the refrigerator didn't work. The refrigerator wasn't cold at all. When I called to report it I was questioned if it was full. I sent a picture showing a barely full refrigerator which shouldn't have been a question. They sent someone the next day to look at it. The washing machine made such horrible shaking noises that we thought it was going to explode. This was my 17th year coming to this area and I will not book this residence again. Very misleading the entire resort could do well with upgrades on the entire property.
