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. 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!

Our stay was great! The house is through VRBO, but managed by Realjoy Vacations. They communicated before the check in and during our stay. The house was exactly as advertised and located in a great location. restaurants and stores are all within a walking or 10 min drive. I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for the 5-star review! Glad your stay was great and that our communication before and during your visit was helpful. Happy the home was as advertised and that the location — restaurants and stores within walking distance or a short drive — worked well. We’d love to host you again.
Kindly,

This place was definitely a hidden gem! It was located in walking distance from the beach, close to the grocery store, and lots of place to eat nearby. I will definitely book again.

Amy, thank you for your feedback. We're glad you found the home beautiful and enjoyed the location. We apologize for the inconvenience regarding the garage access and will make sure the listing details are clearer to avoid any confusion. Thank you for staying with RealJoy.
Decor was beautiful, space was perfect for our group. We could have used more of an explanation regarding the bracelets, pool and beach locations, and there was not enough cleaning products in the kitchen or toilet paper for a 7 night stay with 5 people. That being said we did enjoy the stay and would recommend to friends and family!
