The Bed Setup

Bedroom: King Bed

Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa

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. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Godiva Chocolates, AMC Movie Theaters, and Bass Pro Shops. 

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!

Excellent location! We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed our time here. The beach is amazing, and the property is just a short walk from the beach. Parking was great, and there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. We would definitely stay here again!

Excellent beach access on a beautiful beach! One umbrella & 2 chairs were included with the rental which made things easier. Also, cheaper rental than some others if an extra set up is needed. This is an excellent choice for 1-4 people. Cozy and comfortable. Good price, especially for the area. Communication was all directly with Real Joy rather than through the VRBO app, but they are very responsive and friendly. It was also nice to have 2 parking spaces included. Convenient and easy to get to, gated and safe area. There are 2 restaurants within walking distance (less than a mile-one’s about a 5 minute walk the other about 10.) The kitchen is a little small, but everything worked and plenty of dishes, etc. Extra bath towels as well, which is a bonus in that area! Bring your own beach towels (Surprisingly common for a beach town.)The laundry room machines don’t take cash and require you to download an app to use. We only stayed 3 nights so that wasn’t relevant to me. But good to know.Easy drive too/from the Destination airport (VSP).I would definitely stay there again if in the area..

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 !

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!
