Villages of Crystal Beach is an exclusive, gated community only a few blocks from the beautiful blue waters and white sandy beaches of Destin. You can make the walk on foot or hop on the free seasonal trolley service (Memorial Day through Labor Day): they will even pick you up at the house and drop you off right at the beach! The pool area at Villages of Crystal Beach is a vacation must! The lagoon style zero entry pool is 30,000 square feet of gorgeous, sparkling clear water. There is a spa, tropical landscaping, and plenty of seating areas. It also has surround sound, a flat screen TV, and a grilling area to help you relax and unwind.

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. Trailers, RV's, boats, golf carts, and motorcycles are not allowed within the community gates; alternate parking arrangements will need to be made for these items. 

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 watersports!

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!

Fun but needs cleaned better

Great neighborhood and close to everything. Nice pool! Cleanliness left a lot to be desired though (ants everywhere). Leak in the freezer, master bedroom sink doesn’t drain well, dryer ripped clothes, several tv/dvd didn’t work, screen in dining area needs fixed. Would stay again though because there was so much room and close to everything

Heather, We apologize if the unit was not as clean as it should have been. If you had let us know during your stay, we could have sent a new cleaner out to make it right. We could have provided assistance with the other issues as well. We are glad everyone had enough room and the location was convenient. We appreciate your business and look forward to having the opportunity to provide a better experience next time. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Great Location!

The house was perfectly set up for the adults to have their own area and the teens to have theirs. The pool was great and the shuttle was wonderful! Paula was so punctual and wonderful to speak to. The teens loved that they were in walking distance to so many shops and the beach. Only issue would be the size of the beach access area the house had access to. There were so many people trying to use the same area, about 60 feet across (no tents or umbrellas on private beaches adjacent to public area) that it terrible to try and set up your stuff. We tried a few other public entry points near us and it was all the same issue. We were there on thr busiest week of thr year, so this may not be an issue other times of the year. This isn't the property owners fault at all! Just be aware that you need to get to beach early to get a good spot.

Overall ok but not great

The main issue is related to roaches in the unit. Secondarily, some wear/tear that was not evident in the pictures. Thiae issues were not as bothersome as the roaches. Made us feel uncomfortable for most of the time spent inside.

Not happy!!

Had a leak in downstairs living room. Part of the ceiling fell. They thought they were doing us a favor by refunding $100. The total I paid was over $1600. We should have been refunded ant least half. Our whole Saturday was messed up because of maintenance having to be there. Not even and offer to move somewhere else. There were ants in the dining room. It just was not clean. There was trash in the bottom of the trash cans from previous vacationers. WILL NOT RENT AGAIN
