Area Attractions: 

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! 

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.

Condo was very clean and well decorated. It looks recently updated, which was nice. You also cannot beat the location. The AC was out upon arrival but the management company provided box fans for the night and had it repaired first thing in the morning.

The location of this villa is unbeatable with beach access right out the back door. Chair service on the beach makes the stay even more enjoyable. It was very clean inside, and had everything we needed for our stay. The bunk beds were great for our two young children. The overall property at Crystal Villas could use some updating, but interiorly, this specific villa was wonderful. Devin was great to work with. We would stay here again!
