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!

Have been coming to Capri for many years. Love this place. The problem with unit 106 is it only has 3 chairs for the kitchen table, the couch and chair needs updating, the air conditioning vents in the bedroom and bathroom point straight down so when your in bed or using the bathroom it blows straight down on you and the outdoor furniture needs to be updated. As the price of the unit goes up yearly, the unit needs to be updated.- Reviewed On: 9/16/2024

The misses and I stayed 4 nights at the condo, and it pretty much exceeded our expectations. We had everything we needed and the weather cooperated most of the time. Any place can use a little sprucing from time to time, but things were really nice, and we would definitely go back. The only thing that we might consider needing an upgrade is the shower. Pulling the tub and glass sliding doors and go to a walk in shower (grab rails) would be much more accommodating and safer. Very clean and overall comfortable. The wife had her reservations at first, but that changed in a few minutes after we arrived. Thanks Megan for all your help and patience.- Reviewed On: 11/20/2023
We love the Capri so very much! We were real happy to see some property upgrades happening! The deck had improved, Washers and Dryers were real nice!

We travel to Destin year after year, and we always stay at the Capri by the Gulf. It is our home away from home and our little piece of paradise this side of heaven. As long as we can, we plan to be there in all our years to come, as we feel like our lives are meant to be near the Gulf, and there is no better place than the Capri.- Reviewed On: 9/28/2023
My room was on the end closest to the beach. Only thing I didn’t have was private patio but they don’t have many of those. My room 106 had everything we needed and the ac worked great!

We began staying at the Capri, unit 106 in 2015. It seemed to be freshly remodeled at that time. Since then it has certainly shown some signs of wear and tear. We were pleasantly surprised this year to learn that it has a new owner, and there was a good improvement over the past couple of years! We love the Capri so much! Would still love to see a gas grill like there was when we first started coming. Also the deck on this side often has dangerous nail pops that we will hammer back in so nobody catches a toe on one of them or is tripped while climbing the stairs. It seems it should have had screws installed instead of nails when it was built. The Capri is a slice of heaven though and we look forward to many more visits! Very happy that this unit has a new owner!- Reviewed On: 11/7/2022

We have been vacationing in the Destin area for about 15 years, but this was our first time at Capri. My husband and I went for our 25th wedding anniversary. This unit was clean, the air conditioning was cold, and the deck leading down to the beach is just 25 steps from the front door. And beach service is included, which is really nice. There is only one thing that I would say could be improved, and that is the mattress. It just wasn't very comfortable. Other than that, this unit was perfect. I definitely want to stay at Capri again in the future.- Reviewed On: 5/5/2022
Winter in the sun. 14 years we have spent here Capril located on Crystal Beach. White sand and beautiful sunsets to close out a peaceful day. No two sunsets are the same.

The view was amazing! The room was very comfortable. The a/c worked great!!! This room was steps from the beach! My only complaint would be the laundry facility. Being on vacation for 2 weeks we HAD to do laundry. The washer drawers were so rusted that rust was falling in the machine with our clothes. The equipment washed and dried awesome but the rust did ruin some whites. I know this is due to salt but definitely an amenity that needs updated. I would go again 100 times and I would definitely stay in this room!!! This was my third time back to Capri!!! LOVE THIS PLACE!!!- Reviewed On: 7/13/2021
Capri 106 was a perfect spot with private access to the sugar sand beach. The chair and umbrella service on the beach was very convenient. Our room was bright, cheery, quiet and very tidy.

Yes love to stay at the Capri it’s the only place we will stay in Destin. The unit 106 is in a great location we did have water bugs we seen 4 of them in our unit. I also had a problem with the stoves front right burner staying on high or real low setting it would not go on a medium setting. The blinds in the bedroom, one of the blades was broke on the right side but someone taped a piece of cardboard on it so no one could see in. On the outside walking to the deck there is a hole along side of the fence and the drive way this needs to be fixed a child or someone could walk in to it and hurt themselves and the 2nd set of steps leading to the sand going to the beach need to be replaced the nails are coming out sticking up from the wood and the step was pooping up another one is broke long ways these definitely need replaced for safety of all ages. I call the maintenance number and reported it but I didn’t see any difference in the steps days later. The plug in electrical outlet in the living room by the lamp will not work on the top plug and the lights switch for the dining room and kitchen do not work properly the dimmer may work one day then then later they won’t light up. It was clean and still delightful to stay in just a few things that y’all need to know about. We will see you next year ❤️ I absolutely love the Capri.- Reviewed On: 5/26/2021

We have been coming to the Capri for 14 years. We stay about 4 months, December to March. The weather is just great, the beach is beautiful and the sunsets are awesome. No two are alike. We love it so much. John and Angie are very professional and have a staff that treats us all like family and friends. Cristal White sand and breathtaking sunsets. Plenty of beach front for walking, and relaxing in beach chairs/umbrellas. Plenty things to do in Destin with the children. If you want other things to do try playing golf or visit the numerous thrift and antique shops to find treasures. Something for everyone of all ages. Just relax and refresh. You might see a dolphin or two. Bring your binoculars and take plenty of pictures. Before going home make a reservation for next year. The word is our how great Destin is.- Reviewed On: 3/19/2021

We have been staying at the Capri since 2008. We have enjoyed 12 years of retirement looking out the massive view of the Gulf. The blue water and white sand couldn't be any better. We have met couples and owners all who have been so warm and friendly. We feel like family to so many of them. The Capri is part of the history of Crystal Beach area. The owners have chosen wonderful managers in John and Angie. Their staff is always so helpful and bring us all together for several events. Each year seems to slip by so fast just as the beautiful sunsets do. We have captured many colorful pictures; even had a painting of one done by a local artist. No two sunsets are the same to enjoy on the deck with your favorite wine and friends. Come and enjoy while you can.- Reviewed On: 4/12/2020
