Grand Caribbean West features a terrific heated pool, hot tub, BBQ grilling area, outdoor showers and picnic space. The complex has a friendly, helpful staff. Private, deeded beach access is directly across the street - less than a minute's walk from the building. 

Area Attractions:  

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 West 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!

Location was excellent! We had beach chairs and an umbrella to use. We had ordered service prior to arriving, but ended up taking the ones at the rental since they were much easier to carry. If I come back, I'd be more likely to buy chairs and an umbrella before renting service again. It makes better sense (and cheaper) to do that, even if you have to leave them behind/donate them. We spent most of our time at the beach. It was wonderful and we had lots of families there enjoying it with us. Definitely had great communication from the host. We rented a vehicle and there is plenty to do and see nearby.

Condo was a little worn, but totally comfortable for the two of us. Three, and certainly four persons would have been crowded, unless were younger children. Everything functioned fine: HVAC, well stocked kitchen and appliances, tv’s, and we slept well! Only two concerns: pre visit photos online had us excited and expecting to be right on the beach, overlooking the Gulf from the back deck. Alas, was ok being just across the street from the short boardwalk to the sand. Only other concern was an inefficient e-mail system of Real Joy that was difficult to sort out back and forth when preparing the rental and for arrival. Real Joy’s service and personnel though were over the top accommodating before and during our stay, communicating that they were available for us the entire time. We did not feel like we were alone while visiting the region for the first time. That’s reassuring. We’ll return here for another stay when we visit Destin again.
