If your ideal vacation includes a little adventure, you’ll find plenty of exciting activities nearby 🌊 From parasailing, jet skiing, and banana boat rides to water parks and watersport rentals, there’s no shortage of fun on the water. For something a little different, nearby adventure parks and off-road tours offer even more ways to explore and make unforgettable memories.

For shopping lovers, some of the area’s best retail destinations are just a short drive away 🛍️ Silver Sands Premium Outlets is about 10 minutes away and features more than 100 popular designer and brand-name stores.

If snorkeling is on your vacation list, be sure to check out Dolphin Reef 🐠 Located just offshore from the Miramar Regional Public Beach Access near Pompano Joe’s, this popular reef offers a chance to experience amazing marine life up close. The reef sits in about 12–20 feet of water, and for safety, we strongly recommend using a kayak, paddleboard, or another flotation device, as sea conditions can change quickly 🌊

Great Getaway

Stayed here during Thanksgiving week and loved the house and location. Close to the beach, restaurants, and everything else. Property was very clean and owners were very communicative. Only suggestion would be to add blackout curtains as the lights outside from neighboring properties shined through the bedroom windows. Will definitely consider staying here again if planning another Destin trip. Thank you!

Great place to stay!

This House was beautiful and a short walk to the beach! The house is literally just minutes from any grocery store or shopping center youd like to visit while in Destin, Florida! There were just a few minor cosmetic issues that I brought to owners attention for some updates! Could become our permanent vacation house if those few cosmetic things are updated!😊

Destin vacation

The property was very nice. Friday and saturday afternoon no microwave or stove. I wasnt offered a comp. meal or anything for the inconvenience. BUT we were aware before arriving. We had to take trash out Tuesday AND Thursday or additional fees ($70) could be charged. in addition to having to take trash out on the last day. I thought we paid a cleaning fee in reservation. One of the bed rooms lights didn't work, I was told to change the bulbs. I didnt. Other than that house is amazing. The host was good at responding. I really did enjoy the house. Ohhh, make sure you can follow HOA rules!

Close walk to the Beach

Great home. The Game Room in the photos sold us on the home. My teen boys loved the games and pool table while my wife and I enjoyed the enclosed back yard. We were only an 8 minute walk to the beach and a 4 minute walk to the pool. Quiet neighborhood and beautiful beach.
