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.

All the excitement of Destin is just minutes away: choice of water-sports, golf, amusement parks, and outlet shopping.  One glimpse of Destin beaches and you're hooked. It must be the wide, white beaches and the famous emerald waters. Not to mention the fabulous fishing, the world's most beautiful beaches, savory seafood and the full array of activities for kids of all ages and more fun to be found in Destin.

Here you will find wind surfing, snorkeling, water-skiing and parasailing offered all along the Gulf. Nearby attractions include a Big Kahuna's Waterpark, The Track Family Fun Center and an array of watersports available at Destin Harbor. Of course you'll want to savor the unique and delicious flavors of the freshest seafood available at any of Destin's more then 100 eateries! Restaurants here range from casual oyster bars to elegant bistros serving culinary delights guaranteed to please your palate.

So, come enjoy the freshest seafood, go fishing for all types of salt and freshwater fish, explore fun shops and boutiques or simply relax on breathtaking beaches.

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!

It was a pleasant experience and the place was truly comfortable. Only one personal observation and that is to provide an Airfryer could make the experience even more comfortable and practical. Thank you very much

Awesome Place!
The location was spectacular! 1 min walk to the beach. Restaurants and things to do still close. Price was excellent for 3 nights right across from the beach. The staff was very responsive by text which was so helpful. Place was clean and extra towels for a family of 5. Pool was close for the kids, can park your car right in front, easy loading. Extra fan because the A/C didn't cool enough in the heat. Small view of the beach from the balconies! Overall, will definitely come back and stay. The A/C didn't cool the place enough on a 78° day. The stove was hard to cook on because the electric pads didn't change based on the dial. The king bed is old so it makes a lot of creaking noises. The shower head sprays everywhere and needs to be replaced.

Overall very good. Our main bedroom confort bed cover was not clean, so we washed it and it was perfect then.
We had been in this complex 4 times with this visit. Love the location and the units are very comfortable Needs more maintenance. Roof looks like have water damage. Some repairs done, but badly repaired.

The kitchen was completely stocked with more than you could expect. The area is beautiful. The pool was nice. Love the 2 and a 1/2 bathrooms. 2 balconies for sunrise and sunset were also a plus. Very short walk to the beach. Close proximity to nearly anything you could want.
