Area Attractions:
Close by is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. 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.

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!

Thank you, Ed. I’m sorry other beachgoers set up umbrellas and tents in your section — I understand how frustrating that was. Thank you for letting us know; I’ve notified community management and the beach patrol so they can monitor and address encroachment. We’ll also add a reminder in our pre‑arrival communications asking guests to respect designated areas. We’d love to welcome you back. Tammy RealJoy VacationsReal Joy staff

Annual Pre-Christmas Get Away
As always, we loved our stay at The Capri! It’s in a such a great spot, gated and just a few steps from a beautiful beach! We did try a different room this year and loved the king size bed! The condo was very modern and up to date. The shower was wonderful! I got very sick this year, the night we arrived and ended up going to American Care in Niceville( highest ratings) and received great care. Camille’s right down the road is our absolute favorite and we were able to make it there for dinner and it was fabulous! Would highly recommend The Capri during December ! It’s quaint, quiet and perfect !- Reviewed On: 1/2/2025

Wonderful Vacation
Our stay at Capri 121 was wonderful! The easy access to the beach made our stay very enjoyable. Traveling with a child it was great to have daily beach service provided and have the flexibility to return to our unit for a break or to eat and then be able to return to the beach whenever we wanted to our same spot. We were able to leave our towels and beach toys at the beach so we didn't have to carry them back and forth all day. The outside showers were great for rinsing off and the gate made me feel safe. The area was quiet. We had groceries delivered and the unit had everything we needed to cook our meals for the week. The shower was GREAT! The only thing I found myself needing several times during the week was a pair of scissors. One suggestion I have is to upgrade the bed. The mattress, pillows and sheets were pretty worn. Otherwise everything was absolutely wonderful! Communication was good! We are looking forward to a future trip at the Capri!- Reviewed On: 7/24/2022

Our room was without an iron. The property management company got us a brand-new iron in a timely manner. FYI: When we moved in,the towel rack (over the toilet)is coming loose from the wall on the left side. We were careful to not make it any worse.- Reviewed On: 5/13/2019

Great spot to enjoy the ocean
Do not let this back units location distract you, we found it to be very beautifully decorated on the inside, and just the right fit. The bedroom is dark so you can sleep in if you want to, open the blinds to a great Oceanview. We have stayed in several units in this Capri building, and this one is our new favorite one. Right next to the laundry room, which turns out to be very handy. I would choose this one again in a heartbeat. Very nice. My only suggestion is maybe some better chairs to sit outside like the other units have. Those little metal chairs just don’t cut it… would rent again, thank you very much for a great condo- Reviewed On: 7/6/2018

When I found the Capri by the Gulf I wanted something that wasn't near all the high-rises and less people on the beach. Harmony Beach vacations was able to get me in a room and all set up with payments easily done. it was just like the pictures on the internet everything look inviting.
