Area Attractions:
The complex is also just a few minutes' drive from all Destin has to offer, including go-kart rentals, dolphin cruises, charter fishing, parasailing, Big Kahuna's Water Park, The Track Family Fun Center, and the Silver Sands Outlet Mall.
Several outstanding restaurants are within walking distance, including one of the most highly regarded in Destin, 'The 790 Cafe' located at The Inn at Crystal Beach and 'Beachwalk Cafe', rated one of Destin's best by Florida Trend Magazine. Grand Caribbean West is also within walking distance of Destin's famous Crab Trap restaurant.
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!

The location was perfect just right across the street from the beach and shops where just right up the block.
We had a lovely stay at the property. It was spacious with a great view of the beach from the balcony. A very short walk to the beach and a really nice pool!

We stayed on the 3rd floor and nice overlook towards the beach. Very easy to walk across street to get beach access. The heated pool and hot tub were great for the kids. Would have no issue staying here again.

Cute place, super close to the beach, and perfect size for our small family. Loved the tropical colors and beachy feel. The community pool was pretty green, but other than that everything was great. We’d stay again!

Overall the experience was great! Location was great! Would have liked to have access to beach chairs, umbrella, floaties without having to pay per day or buy own just to leave for someone else since could not take with us. That would hav made the stay perfect.

Had a great vacation!
My family loved the Crystal Beach condo! It was great to wake up every morning and walk to the beach!
The only issue we had was the pull out bed was broken and very uncomfortable. Other than that, we enjoyed every minute of our vacation!

Best vacation in years!
This was probably the best vacation I've taken in years! It's located just outside of downtown Destin. The room was very clean and that's always a plus. Only reason I can't give it a 5 star rating was the bed had messed up my back during my stay. That's my only complaint. Everything else was just amazing. I can't wait to stay here again!

Hi Stephen. Thank you for your feedback on your stay at this lovely condo. We’re happy to hear this is the best vacation you’ve had in years and that the unit was clean. Our teams work hard to keep the units clean and comfortable for our guests. We hope you will come back to visit! Thank you for staying with Real Joy!
Everything was great only issue is I was told checkout was at 10am and housekeeping came knocking on door at 8:30am to clean I felt like she was pushing us out.
Unit was clean and comfortable. Easy access to the beach just across the street. Not a true ocean view; only a glimpse between ocean front buildings, but enjoyed the balcony. Within walking distance to a few restaurants. No elevator so pack light since there are 2 flights of stairs.
We loved the condo, and the location was great. RealJoy was seamless with the experience - good proactive communications along the way and the door code arrived as expected. Some reviews commented about the palm trees obstructing the view, but the branches were cut way back when we were there, so they weren’t even really noticeable. Great view!!

Great place to stay with family. Ocean view is awesome. Grandkids want to live there.
It was great for our family. Elevator would have been nice. But can't complain. When we needed things shopping wasn't far away. The walk to the beach was great. And having a washer and dryer there was fantastic. We shut the air off and enjoyed the weather while we were there. Sat on the balcony and relaxed. Spent time in the heated pool was awesome.

Life is definitely good at Grand Caribbean West #106!! What a great experience we had and will highly recommend to our family and friends! Your location is perfect for beach access, dining, lounging poolside and just feeling safe while taking our morning and evening strolls! The accommodations were so welcoming and relaxing … very clean and well stocked with all the amenities one needs for a comfortable and relaxing stay! Reservations, check-in and check-out were so easy and quick! Thank you for providing a wonderful experience … and we will be back!! 😎
We had an horrible experience checking in because it prompted a strict time . When arrived earlier around 2 am and had to stay at a motel 6 the morning we arrived , due to the policy for checking in and out .

Hi! We are happy to know that you had a great stay at Grand Caribbean West 303. During this unprecedented time, it is nearly impossible to have an early check-in or late check-out because cleaning crews and inspectors need time to prepare units for incoming guests. Normally codes for doors, gates, pools, etc. are provided by email to renters before they arrive. We apologize for the inconvenience caused at check-in. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.

The condo was great but could use an elevator. The wTer was green, full of algae and smelled bad. It ruined the beach for us. The lifeguard said it was called June grass.

Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2017
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar, 2020
Hi Ruth, we hope you enjoyed your stay at this budget friendly condo with a beautiful ocean front view from the private balcony. We are sorry not having an elevator was an inconvenience for you. The June grass is a natural ecological occurrence that helps nourish the beach and locations where the green algae wash ashore is determined by day-to-day surf and weather conditions. It is good for the environment, but unfortunately is not always pleasant to beach goers. We are sorry it interfered with your visit, but is beyond our control. Thank you for your feedback and for staying with Real Joy.
