Area Attractions: 

Crystal Beach is a terrific residential area, yet close to restaurants and activities in Destin. Walk to close-by restaurants such as the award-winning Camille's, get your fro-yo on at U-Twirl Frozen Yogurt, or learn how to ride the waves at All-A Board Surf School.  

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 Shop.

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 the 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 devices when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

We had 16 people and loved how the house was 2 townhomes together and was plenty of room for all the guests. Each room upstairs had a king and a bathroom which is a huge place with multiple couples. The pool was fantastic. Only took 5-6 minutes to walk to the beach. Great spot!

Backyard of my dreams!
We rented this house as a place for all of our friends and family to stay at for our destination beach wedding. The space is perfect for multiple different families coming to together. With each king suite guests felt like they had a little bit of privacy when needed, yet plenty of common space for gathering. The backyard was perfection. Even though it was November, we were able to get the pool and hot tub plenty warm. 90% of our time was spent out here, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it!

One Awesome Vacation!
This house/duplex was more than we expected. Very spacious, had plenty of kitchen utensils/appliances, high chair and pack-n-play, a bathroom for every room and the pool was big enough for all of us to enjoy. The beach was only two short blocks but you have the option of the golf cart which we enjoyed often. Highly recommend for a big group.

Families Vacation
What a great vacation! The house was perfect for our group of five families, 23 people. We had plenty of room, really enjoyed the pool area, and made great use of the kitchen areas to cook for everyone. Destin was busy but great, thank you so much for a fantastic vacation!

This was by far the most amazing vacation spot ever! We had so many plans to be out and about through the city but when we got to the house all the plans were canceled and we enjoyed ourselves at the house with the pool! So perfect for a large group!

Family Vacation
We just stayed here and loved everything about the house. We had 2 sides of the family down so it was nice that it had 2 kitchens and 2 sets of washer/dryer. The pool was incredible and big enough that everyone could enjoy themselves. We would definitely stay here again!!
