The Bed Setup

Bedroom: Queen Bed

Living Room: Full-sized airbed

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!

The perfect location right on the beach! Room was perfect size for a couple. It was perfectly themed with all new appliances and fixtures !

We Love 122
We were not aware of the change in TV streaming, nor any info how to operate the new tv system. We also like the sofa on the other wall. There were 3 roaches in the bathroom ( at different times) but the condo was very clean ( that’s why I have 4 stars). We do LOVE this condo and will stay there again! [ The tv change and 3 roaches are why I gave 4 stars on 2 questions]

This condo was everything that was advertised. The condo was perfect for two people. Very clean. It had everything we needed. You could tell that it was older, but the upgrades made it feel much newer. It's in a perfect location. Many restaurants are within a very short drive. The private beach, which included beach chairs and an umbrella was GREAT!!!. This will definitely be my first choice to stay on my next vacation to Destin.

Very old uncomfortable bed inside couch. The drainage in the shower was also not the best. Shower would fill up with lots of water as you showered. Overall was a wonderful place and I will be back.

Best Kept Secret
A great week, great weather, and great lodging experience. Capri Motel is indeed the best kept secret along old 98. A retro, throwback-style motor lodge from back in the day, but all units upgraded and current. Especially newly renovated Room 122 made our stay even that much better and comfortable. Quiet, comfortable, and room enough for your evening after a long day at the beach or shopping.Just steps to the beach from any front door of the Capri Motel, plus beach service provided. No shlepping luggage or beach gear up and down stairs, across busy streets, or long hauls in from the car.And only steps or short drive to lots of great restaurants and shopping!!We certainly picked a very good week to come to Destin, as the water was the clearest we have ever seen in coming to Destin for nearly 30 years; chilly on first plunge, but quite do-able after that. And daily dolphin pod sightings each afternoon within yards of the beach.Highly recommend the Capri Motel.

Gulf getaway
We were going to stay at a motel, after visiting relatives staying at Capri by the Gulf. After checking on an empty unit, we decided to stay there. The unit was clean and probably a lot less expensive than a motel. The manager provided excellent customer service. Our only problem was the main tv/cable wasn't working. But we weren't there to watch tv, especially with the gulf outside our door!

As a long time Destin vacationer, Capri is a perfect motel! Location is right on beach, close to all shopping and the best restaurants. This motel has a "private" beach, so it is quiet. Having beach service, 2 chairs and umbrella, as part of the rental makes this place perfect. Will definitely return.

Vacation 2015
The rental was great! It had everything in the kitchen that we needed. It was nice being greeted with a bottle of champaign on the bar after a long drive. Also comes with 4 complimentary beach towels and plenty of bath towels. The one story building was very nice considering I have two small children and I didn't have to carrying things up and down stairs or elevators. The free beach service is great so no need to carry chairs down to the water. The deck area is nice to sit and relax after a long day. The one thing that needs to be upgraded is the couch because the mattress in it was very worn. The owners dropped in and asked us what is something they could change to make it better and the couch was the only thing and they promised to get a new one.

The perfect getaway
We had coffee on the balcony area each morning, which overlooked the gorgeous sand and water. It was great to park right outside the door and the gated entrance made us feel very safe. No elevators, crowds, noise. The other tenants were friendly and were regular vacationers at the Capri. The only reason I gave three stars to the amenities section is because the furniture could be updated, as well as bathroom and kitchen. More important is that our place was clean. My family will definitely go back!
