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!

Fantastic House
Overall, our stay was great at this house. We had two families with various age groups. The pool, which we had heated, was used tremendously throughout our stay. The size of the pool was great, and it was super helpful that it had locked gates surrounding the pool so that little ones could not enter without the help of an adult. The house itself was clean and well put together. All of the bedrooms had plenty of room for accommodations. The walk to the beach was a block away, which was very convenient. The small downfall was there was little area to set up on the beach unless you walked down farther since all the condos took the whole beach as private. The house was in a good location to the main road to plenty of restaurants, stores, and other activities. Overall, our stay at this house was fantastic.

Heart of Destin, upscale neighborhood, 6 houses from beach access
My family stayed at this house and really enjoyed our time there. House was clean, well stocked and beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the wrap around deck on the first and second floor and the kids room on the third floor. Best part was beach access; 6 houses down from house. We used a wagon for our beach gear. Pool in backyard is fabulous, no need to share with other families. There is a hose with access to cold water to cool down the pool. There is also a shower built on to side of house near mud room entrance. Would stay again.

Wedding Anniversary /
The home is falsely Advertised there’s no gulf view from the south side deck ! The outside of the home is dirty and rusted all around .theres trash all over the yard including the pool area . (Which we cleaned up on our vacation)The water hose for the pool was left out and still in the pool . We had to sign a release which we were also charged for , but the leave a hose laid out .only one outdoor shower works that’s besides the trash cans which smell of dead fish . Theres wasp nets also the landscaping is dead has not been taken care of This house is an eye sore . The inside definitely isn’t big enough for 12 people the kitchen is very small not spacious.as advertised!Blinds don’t work , bugs all over , lamp shade missing from the master bed room beds aren’t in good condition the frame is about to break at any time . Bedding is old sheets are discolored /old The other bedroom mattress sinks in box spring looks like it’s fallen apart My sister and brother in law didn’t sleep well at all , the bedding The callings are dirty in the bathrooms, halls and kitchen grease a/c flitters haven’t been changed , there’s patches all over the ceiling from leaks We rent homes all the time and even had ours listed .We would not had rented this home without a gulf view like listed , We sent RealJoy around 50 pics . This home should be removed until all repairs are made .Real joy is is working discounts . But we do feel there shouldn’t be any charges due to False Advertising and the condition

Beach getaway
We stayed at this beach location for an extended weekend getaway. We celebrated a graduation and had family in town. This location was nice. About a block away from the beach access. Pool was nice.
The house was not perfect, but we were ok with it. There were a few insects splattered on the walls that the cleaning crew missed (no big deal). The upstairs bedroom adjacent to the master sank down. So my husband and I were on different levels. The property manager did come out for the insects on the side of the house by the pool (also not a big deal). We also live in Florida and know how bugs can be.
Overall, it was a nice trip.
