Villages of Crystal Beach is an exclusive, gated community only a few blocks from Destin's beautiful blue waters and white sandy beaches. You can make the walk on foot or hop on the free seasonal trolley service (Memorial Day through Labor Day): they will even pick you up at the house and drop you off right at the beach! The pool area at Villages of Crystal Beach is a vacation must! The lagoon-style zero-entry pool is 30,000 square feet of gorgeous, sparkling clear water. There is a spa, tropical landscaping, and plenty of seating areas. It also has surround sound, a flat-screen TV, and a grilling area to help you relax and unwind.

Please note that there are parking restrictions within the Villages of Crystal Beach. There are two parking spaces available in the driveway of the home. Trailers, RV's, boats, golf carts, and motorcycles are not allowed within the community gates; alternate parking arrangements will need to be made for these items.

Area Attractions:

There are wonderful shops and restaurants close by and great attractions such as golf courses, Big Kahuna's Water and Adventure Park, boating, fishing, and watersports!

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 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 photos really don’t do this place justice there’s a lot more space in the house than the pictures show. The secluded private area is perfect for guests and the pool area is immaculate. The location is great the beach is walkable and other great attractions are just a short drive away. The hosts instructions are very clear and they’re extremely responsive. I can’t thank them enough for making my families vacation one to remember thanks realjoy!

Getting to the point of staying was a little more work than past Airbnb stays, having to check in and sign liability forms at the office. But the home was very nice, clean and plenty of room for our group. Communication, although slightly confusing at times, was quick and all staff were courteous. Even brought a gift to our daughter who got engaged while we were there. Overall once checked-in, a very nice home and great experience.

Lots of space. Good seating in family room. Beds comfortable and each room had a TV and a ceiling fan. Extremely short and easy walk to the community pool. Longer walk to the ocean (about a half a mile) but bring a cart and you can haul your stuff. Right off the main drag of Highway 98 so close to a lot of food and things to do. Yet the neighborhood was quiet. Extremely responsive host when we had questions or needed something.
