The complex is also just a few minutes drive from all Destin has to offer, including go-kart rentals, dolphin cruises, charter fishing, parasailing, Big Kahuna's Water Park, The Track Family Fun Center, and the Silver Sands Outlet Mall.

Several outstanding restaurants are within walking distance, including one of the most highly regarded in Destin, 'The 790 Cafe' located at The Inn at Crystal Beach and 'Beachwalk Cafe', rated one of Destin's best by Florida Trend Magazine. Grand Caribbean East is also within walking distance of Destin's famous Crab Trap restaurant. 

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!

My husband and I stayed 5 nights and this place was very nice and as pictured. The king size bed was very comfy, nice kitchen and loved being able to step right out the door to the pool.

Awesome place to stay worth every penny. As advertised the Beach is about less than a minute walk across the street from the property. The pool & hot tube was right outside our back patio, major plus. Everything from restaurants to shops are about 10-15 drive. We were a family of four with two teens & two adults. There is a washer and dryer and other cleaning supplies which was useful. The only things I found strange was they ask you not to set the AC below 71, they only provide one set of bath towels (stayed 5 days), they didn’t provide extra trash bags. Oh and don’t forget to place these parking placards that are provided in the room. We were told without them you’d be towed immediately (Dang!) . Highly recommend this place.

Perfect location for a family vacation
We have stayed at Grand Caribbean East several times over the years. The location is perfect, the complex is quiet. The condo was perfect for our family - ground level meant easy access to the pool. Our only complaint was that the pool was closed for the first part of our trip. I think it was because of a chemical imbalance. Randy the maintenance guy did a great job of keeping us updated and worked hard to get the pool open. Two thumbs up, we will be back!

Grand Caribbean East 106
My husband, daughter, and I stayed here for our summer vacation. The pics are an accurate description of property. The proximity to the beach and pool cannot be beat. The property is clean and has been well maintained. Some upgrades needed--new pots and pans due to misuse, bedroom ceiling fan needs to be cleaned, wifi did not work, and cable did not work in the living room (I reported soon after check-in, but nothing was done).

We had a great time staying here. It was exactly what is shown in the pictures. It’s very clean and located in close proximity to everything. The access to the beach was also very nice.

Great ground floor unit
We’ve stayed at the grand Caribbean east and west maybe 3 times now and this was our favorite so far... ground floor and can walk right out to the pool. Right across the street from the beach. Only negatives - most places supply at least one dishwasher and laundry detergent, they had the 2 dishwasher but no laundry- might have been nice to provide at least one. Shower door was off track but I fixed easily, and tub drained slow but I assumed from everyone priors sand so we just dealt with it for the week. Would definitely rent again! Thanks!

Perfect Location, Beautiful Property
The property is very well-appointed and is updated to feel like an actual home, no cheesy beach decor in sight. The king bed was super comfortable, the kitchen had all the items we needed for cooking, the pool is steps away and the walk to the beach is super short! We also enjoyed walking to shopping, food and ice cream and would 100% stay there again. The only issue with being poolside and on the ground floor was hearing the pool gate slam when careless kids/adults went in and out of the pool area. Thankfully, all the guests were good about observing the pool hours and quiet times so, while annoying, the noise never interfered with our sleep.

I enjoyed a short girls trip here and it was amazing. This is a wonderful place to stay and I highly recommend it!! My one and only problem was that the pool code I was sent would not work, but since this is a ground level room I just entered the pool from the patio of our condo.

This was our first trip to Destin. The condo was comfortable and well supplied. We were steps from the pool and hot tub. It rained frequently and to pop in and out of the hot tub during a shower was great. We were 100 yds from the gulf and were able to take frequent walks on the beach. The condos location was great. It has easy access to the beach, restaurants, shopping and downtown Destin, but was still far enough away that traffic was minimal. We would recommend this condo to anyone.
