Pointe of View 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.
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!

Pros: Great location. Can’t beat the views and convenience to beach. Comfortable beds. Clean bathrooms. Great beach. Great communication with management. Cons: No additional beach chairs, toys, umbrella, wagon and other beach accessories (besides the two chairs and umbrella rentals included each day). Minor inconvenience but overall great place to rent for family or group of friends. Would highly recommend and look forward to possibly coming back in the future.- Reviewed On: 9/29/2025

The house is beautiful and the location is perfect! A little sand was on the floors when we arrived but other than that it was very clean! Doors are a struggle to open/close but we managed. Only 2 tvs worked and the WiFi was hit or miss but we were there to enjoy the beach, not watch tv! The house has everything you need for a nice stay, it even had several baby gates to put up in front of the stairs to keep the littles from taking a tumble! Highly recommend and will definitely book here again!- Reviewed On: 5/24/2025

Great stay... appreciated the responsiveness of your staff and ease of check in/out. Location was great!- Reviewed On: 5/1/2025
We had a group of 16 people from toddlers to grandparents. The house is located right on the beach with direct access. It was so nice being able to go back and forth from the beach to the house easily, especially with little kids. The deck options provide beautiful views of the water and sand. Truly, the views are hard to beat here! The parking is fine, we had two rental vehicles with designated parking so no issues. We had palmetto bugs come visit the first couple of nights we were there. I contacted the rental company and they came right away and took care of it. Very easy to contact and work with. You do share half of the house so sometimes we'd be on the deck at the same time as our neighbors. There is a waist high divider. House was clean and in good condition. The chair situation on the beach gets dicey. You get 2 chairs to use, 2 extra chairs are like 300/week. We opted to get camping chairs (& sand toys) from walmart to use and gave them to the neighbors when we left. Not a big deal.Overall, very happy with our stay and would come back! Thank you for the memorable vacation!- Reviewed On: 4/19/2025

What a wonderful Stay the the Point of Veiw Realjoy property. From start to finish my experience and my guest experience was exceptional. Ms. Danielle and Ms. Lisa headed an all-star team of support. The parking is tight with only two outdoor spaces, so haing full-size or suv type vehicles can present an issue. Also, the kitchen could use some cooking utensils upgrades, but being aware of that in previously reviews ... we were prepared. Bang for your buck, quality support and reasonable cost made this choice of location an absolute no brainer. Exceptional view and access to the beach. If you can't tell, I and my family really enjoyed our 4-day stay. Terry C. 12-16 Feb 25. 8 guests- Reviewed On: 2/17/2025

The location and layout were perfect for the team retreat we had planned. We were right on the beach and found everything to be relaxing. The property managers were incredibly responsive and checked in on us regularly. We would consider staying here again; we talked about coming with kids, but there were no tubs, so that was our only concern, although I have a feeling the kids would get through it with a smile.- Reviewed On: 11/11/2024

The view was amazing! The house was clean and well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. The host checked on us multiple times throughout the stay which was nice. We also loved having a few restaurants like Soleil and Camille’s in walking distance. The Publix was a short drive too to restock the fridge. Would have been nice to have shampoos and bath soaps in the bathrooms. Also could have used a few beach towels and extra chairs (only 2 were provided with beach service). Neither one of these were a big deal though!- Reviewed On: 11/6/2024

The location has a beautiful beach view and is in a nice area of town! The house has lots of space and great sleeping arrangements to accommodate a multi-family vacation. The property management staff was friendly and easy to contact for assistance. They resolved issues quickly. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay there again!! As others noted, an area for improvement is the parking. Only 3 spaces are available. An idea for improvement would be for the management company to have pre-planned offsite parking arrangements available to guest. One other area I recommend to improve is the beach chair service. It was first come first serve, and even when arriving early, on multiple days, all the other front row chairs were already reserved for others. It would be great if the unit had pre-reserved front row chairs for each day. Other than that, all was great!!- Reviewed On: 7/6/2024

We just rented this place over the spring break with family and friends. There are total of 17 of us or 4 families, and everyone enjoyed this location, cleanliness and direct access to the beach. There are a lot of very good place to eat out, Publix grocery store is close by and seafood market is about 10 minutes drive where you can get fresh oysters, fish and shrimps. We grilled them by the grill provided outside. Managed to park 4 cars (3 small/medium sized SUVs and 1 Ford Expedition) :-). Note that the garage is tight. There is parking by the street but easily gets filled up and you can’t park it overnight. Our overall experience is outstanding and we’ll rent this place again in the future!- Reviewed On: 3/31/2024

Location was awesome. It is situated directly on the beach, with easy access to beach services as well as several restaurants. The furniture on the balcony was incredibly comfortable and we spent hours just looking at the ocean. The property itself is close to many other restaurants and multiple grocery and shopping venues. Multiple sleeping areas and multiple bathrooms help keep the group happy.. Air conditioning was adequate. The kitchen had many appliances, cooking items. Parking was very tight. We only had one car but if the other properties have large SUVs it makes it very difficult to get in and out. Would recommend adding a Keurig. Property obviously shows we are in care of being a rental location, but didn’t really affect us.- Reviewed On: 7/4/2021
