Area Attractions:
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. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants.
All the excitement of Destin is just minutes away: a choice of water sports, 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!

Thank you for the 5-star review! Glad you loved the house — plenty of room and a clean, nicely sized pool. We look forward to welcoming you back to RealJoy Vacations.
We loved everything about this stay it’s pet friendly, it was very clean, the space and pool was amazing would’ve been better had it been heated but my kids enjoyed it and that’s most important. The pool guy came to clean the pool during our stay early one morning but he was n it in our way nor was we in his. We were not ready to leave if we had the funds we would’ve stayed the rest of our spring break. Also I wish that cart in the garage was available for use.
