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.
Nearby are 6 miles of paved trails - perfect for both walking or biking. Pretty, unspoiled, Henderson Beach State Park is also close by.
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!

Jason, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the beautiful view and convenient beach access. We hope you'll join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
The location was excellent. The house was updated and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed for cooking! The only thing I could recommend for future updates is adding TVs to the two other bedrooms. The chairs on the deck were the best part!

Sarah, thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the excellent location and found the kitchen well-stocked for your cooking needs. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the TVs in the other bedrooms and will keep that in mind for future updates. It’s great to hear that you loved the chairs on the deck! We hope to welcome you back soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy!
Stayed with my wife who is handicapped, my teen daughter, and elderly mother- this place was perfect for all our varied needs. Condo was beautiful and comfortable. Loved the bottom floor which gave easy access to the beach and my wife loved sitting on the patio listening to the waves and watching the dolphin pods swim by! Would highly recommend to anyone. Hope to be back some day.

Grant, Thank you for the 5-star review. We are thrilled to hear that the condo was perfect for your family's varied needs and that your wife enjoyed the patio and watching the dolphins. We look forward to your return. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Beautiful view and beach access. The beds are comfortable. The hot tub and pool are nice. Nice bathrooms. Comfortable living room. There were some boogie boards left in the closet that we enjoyed. We would have liked beach chairs included, salt and pepper or spices available, coffee filters. The TV technology is a little dated and we would have liked more throw blankets. These little things would not change our 5 star opinion. The location and views from the property, comfy beds, nice bathrooms and living room furniture are definitely worth rebooking! We would recommend this property!
