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!

This listing is very family friendly. Amenities are a nice touch for an overall experience for either a quick getaway or an extended stay. The location serves for quick walk to the beach makes this a huge plus, especially with kids. The walk to the beach front is but a minute away! The 2 marked parking spaces per room is a nice touch. Also, with it being gated, it keeps the crazies out. So once you’re in, you feel safe a separated from the outside activities. The onsite laundry room is great, especially to keep things clean and the sand off. Definitely will be returning to this location with the family.

Although the only time I ever had to speak with the staff was just to ensure I didn’t need to check in with anyone. It was contactless check in and check out. The place was spotless and having chairs and umbrellas waiting for us on the beach was the icing on the cake. We enjoyed our stay immensely and look forward to returning. Nothing like being able to walk out your door and right onto the beach I couldn’t ask for better. Thank you for a relaxing vacation that we will remember forever.

Overall, very pleased with our stay. Could use a few improvements
Great location-close to everything and a nice private beach! We would return again for this reason. Management staff was very helpful and responsive to any questions I had. Excellent customer service. Condo was a bit smaller than I expected. Overall was clean, but needed some updating. The extra linens for the pullout bed were in a closet that smelled like mildew. The outlets in the master bedroom were blocked by the bed and one of the outlets didn’t work, so I had to keep my phone charger in the living room. Could use some new cookware in the kitchen, very minimal selection. The shower would also randomly start running at times, but would stop after a few mins. Overall though, I would recommend staying here and we would visit again.

Perfect spot for this snowbird in training!
At the advise of my sister and niece, I booked this place for my annual New Year's escape. It's location was smack dab in the middle of where I wanted to be. The rooms were clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable. We were envious of the pots and pans in the kitchen. Enough so, we took note of the brand, and will be looking for some for home! The gated entrances were an added level of comfort. The patio area with bar heighth tables and chairs were PERFECT to sit and gaze at the beautiful beach and water. And I booked it for same time next year. THAT speaks volumes from me! With all the $$ you save by not going to that 5 star place to stay can be spent on DE-licious seafood up and down the coast...with many of our favorites VERY close by. :)

We enjoyed this smaller quieter one story condo. It is an older location, but nicely updated. The beach has lots of room, and with fewer guests from the one story establishment, the umbrellas are spread out nicely. It's a more mature crowd staying there, so it is quieter.

Pleasant Stay
This is the 10th year we've stayed at Capri and the first time in 101. The décor was nice and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom shower was very large and had a sliding glass door which is a plus. The only downside is the limited comfortable seating. This was a smaller unit compared to the other units and they did a good job with the amount of space available. It was a bit snug for my husband and our two 2nd graders. The view from the front window was spectacular; you could easily see the ocean. Overall it was a good trip. I've never been disappointed by the Capri accommodations. It's the last remaining 'hidden gem' in this section of Destin.
