If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017. Â 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!

We had an amazing time. It was a very cute hotel right on a beautiful beach and a great location. I highly recommend renting a golf cart to go up and down the strip and to the convenience stores as well as grocery stores. You do not need to rent a car when you have the golf cart which is so much fun.- Reviewed On: 1/26/2024

We had a memorable stay at Harmony’s Beach Vacations rental, Capri by the Gulf 102. Remembering the old fashion motor lodges, we found this place to be charming and nostalgic.

Oh my! If you’re in search of clean, quiet, one-level beachside getaway without all the noise and elevator nonsense, this place is for you! This was my second year to book at this location and I’m sold! Keith and staff were so responsive to helping secure the location by phone. *yes you can book all online* Staff were great with communicating by email and text messaging once I arrived.You can’t beat daily beachside umbrella service, spacious and unobstructed views while on the beach...did I mentioned unobstructed? No need to pack and lug that heavy canopy! This location is perfection for couples, girls trip, or family with young/small children. I appreciate the gated features and ease of parking. No pool but your steps from the largest, most beautiful Gulf “pool”. :)For you foodies, you’ll find plenty of restaurants for a nice dinner(s) out. If you prefer beach-bum status (me!) grab your groceries for the week and prepare to unplug! My family have already looked into reservations for next summer. Consider me a regular ️Winner winner lobster dinner!!- Reviewed On: 8/12/2023
Overall it was very good. There were a couple minor issues that we shared with the office when checking out. There were some stains on the primary bedroom wall by the end table on right side of the bed. The closet door in the bathroom was missing the roller/pin on top so the bi-fold operates as a door. Only one of the 2 light switches to the right of the door when walking into condo worked (outside light). Inconvenient when coming home At night and had to go to bar area to turn on interior lights. Also outlet in bedroom, on right side of bed, only one of the two outlets worked.- Reviewed On: 6/2/2023

This is not the place for you if you are looking for a crowed, noisy beach vacation. This place is small very quiet with easy access to the room and and short walk to the beach with chairs and umbrella. Only negative I could say is mattress is old and needs to be replaced. I had two maintenance problems during my stay and they were quickly resolved by an on site guy.- Reviewed On: 7/5/2022
Harmony Vacation Rentals are so easy and convenient! Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. This is our 2nd year in Capri 102! It’s just easy living at a convenient location and an affordable price! When describing to a friend, I said it’s a funky, 70’s motel made into a modern condo! It’s perfect for my husband and I to get away! Super peaceful and quiet, short distance to our complimentary beach chairs and umbrella, and close to all the great restaurants Destin has to offer! Perfect for a middle-aged couple without kids!- Reviewed On: 6/12/2022

This was our second stay at Capri 102 and being right on the beach is wonderful. The complex is located in a perfect spot and the gated parking is a big plus.

Other than this minor inconvenience it was the perfect place to vacation.- Reviewed On: 9/28/2021

We stayed in Capri 102 for 7 nights & think it is the best kept secret in the Destin area. Small oceanfront property with easy access to the beach. Very much appreciated the value of the complimentary 2 beach chairs & umbrella. The unit is small, but was perfect for 2 people and had all we needed. We did use the laundry facilities, which as very convenient ($1.75 per load) - take quarters with you. Walked to Camilles, 790 on the Gulf & the Crab Trap - all within easy walking distance.
