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: a choice of watersports, 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.

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!

The location was great! The beach was beautiful and the house accommodated us and everything we needed. My only complaints was the amount of sand in the house when we checked in and I reached out to the host regarding the back patio/pool situation. The pool area was overgrown with weeds and trees. The pool was filled with sand, trash and leaves. I reached out to them regarding the state of the pool and they sent someone the following day to clean it however the patio was not taken care of.

Short walk to the beach

The location is perfect! Beautiful area, short walk to the beach and perfect house. The pool is on the small side but fit our family perfectly. We didn’t use the community pool but it was super close. There is a spot to purchase drinks and sandwiches just outside of the community. Overall we would recommend and stay again!

We stayed for a week with 4 adults, 2 teens, a 10 and 2 year old. It was a great layout for us. Our family slept in the master upstairs with the kids on the twin and roll away bed. The room is huge with plenty of space for a family of four. The master has a huge bath tub. The teens stayed in the guest room with two queens and their parents in the room downstairs with a queen. There is a full kitchen. I left two nonstick pans because the pans that were provided were not great. Hopefully that those will stay for the next guests. It was great to have a washer and dryer and dish washer. The pool was perfect for a group of our size and great on the double red flag days. They provide bathroom towels so be sure to pack your own beach towels and laundry soap. It was super clean and just a fabulous place to vacation. We had a great meal at the crab trap, worth the wait and the kids had fun with the alligators at Fudpuckers. Both are nearby. It’s not a bad walk to the beach, bring a wagon. I would 100% recommend this house. Everything was super clean and worked. 10/10!

Thank you for the 5-star review! Glad Jack Chasin' Birdies' layout and amenities worked so well for your group — especially the spacious master, full kitchen, washer/dryer, and pool. We appreciate the note about the cookware and will replace the pans. Good tip about bringing beach towels and laundry soap for future guests. Happy you enjoyed the nearby restaurants and that everything was clean and in working order. We hope to host you again. RealJoy Destin

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
The house was not clean when we arrived, sandy floors, hair on shower walls, dirty return vents, dirty toilet. There was minimal house supplies for example 1 trash bag in the entire home. The pool at the house is nice but it was fairly dirty when we got there, we netted it out and the day before we left someone came and cleaned it out. The pool access and beach codes we were given were not correct, we had no access to either for the first day due to no return texts from RealJoy after calling 3 times I finally got a code to try . The ice maker was not working upon arrival, called twice for that to be fixed. Then the hot water in master suite stopped working, never received any update on the situation with that but it was working the following day so I assume the problem was fixed. Overall for the money I would not return unless the management was changed.
