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!

This was our first time staying at this property and it won't be the last! The location was a one block walk to the beach and having a pool with the house was a game changer for our kids. We are a family of 8 and had plenty of space.

Had the best experience in an amazing locations! The hosts were super accommodating and even provided us with a little gift at check in.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
Overall, our stay was great at this house. We had two families with various age groups. The pool, which we had heated, was used tremendously throughout our stay. The size of the pool was great, and it was super helpful that it had locked gates surrounding the pool so that little ones could not enter without the help of an adult. The house itself was clean and well put together. All of the bedrooms had plenty of room for accommodations. The walk to the beach was a block away, which was very convenient. The small downfall was there was little area to set up on the beach unless you walked down farther since all the condos took the whole beach as private. The house was in a good location to the main road to plenty of restaurants, stores, and other activities. Overall, our stay at this house was fantastic.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2025
The house could most definitely use some updates and improvements. The flooring is a main issue that needs replacing. The stairs inside are separating at the seams and every time you step on them they pinch your foot. The tiles in the kitchen floor have cracks and missing pieces that catch on your toes & socks. There was a sign stating not to set the A/C below a certain temperature but the house couldn’t even stay cool at that temperature. We had to keep fans going most of the stay. The location is really convenient to the beach access across the road and that was the best part. There were 2 things that we needed addressed when we arrived and property management was quick to respond. Heads up though, they do not use the VRBO messaging feature so you do have to text them. Overall it was a great week at the beach and I think the house has a lot of potential with some upgrades and a deep cleaning (e.g. dead bugs on floor & windowsills, stains on pillows, rugs, & linen, holes in walls & loose towel hooks in bathrooms).
