The Bed Setup:

Bunk Room: Full over Full Bunk

2nd Floor

Master Bedroom: King Bed

Bunk Area: Twin over Twin Bunk

Area Attractions:

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.

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, addictive seafood and the full array of activities for kids of all ages and more fun to be found in Destin.

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!

Nuestra estadía fue muy buena, solo queremos hacer saber que en unas de las habitaciones, el aire acondicionado no llega a la perfección, y la cama de esa misma habitación es bastante incómoda, no tendría ninguna otra sugerencia, el resto de las habitaciones súper espaciosas y acogedoras, la ubicación de la casa es perfecta para unas adecuadas vacaciones.

The property looks just as beautifully pictured. The home is located in safe, quiet, community - only a short walk to the beach and had everything we needed as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) to feel comfortable. The host was communicative and friendly. The home is also near many restaurants, coffee shops, family friendly attractions including the Fishbowl, the Track, and approximately 20 miles out, the Gulfarium. My children enjoyed the community pool in the subdivision, along with the basketball court, and tennis court. We would definitely stay here again and recommend the home to others considering visiting Destin.

Peaceful neighborhood. Definitely recommend renting a golf cart to get around . We parked our vehicle and rode around on cart during our rental & it made it easier to get to beach and kept our vehicle clean. Pool & volleyball net are very close. Faucet on front porch made it easy to rinse off feet before entering home .

It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood and found the golf cart rental to be a convenient way to explore the area and access the beach. We're glad you made use of the amenities like the pool, volleyball net, and the convenient front porch faucet for rinsing off. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for another enjoyable vacation.
