Villages of Crystal Beach is an exclusive, gated community only a few blocks from the beautiful blue waters and white sandy beaches of Destin. You can make the walk on foot or hop on the free seasonal trolley service (Memorial Day through Labor Day): they will even pick you up at the house and drop you off right at the beach! The pool area at Villages of Crystal Beach is a vacation must! The lagoon style zero entry pool is 30,000 square feet of gorgeous, sparkling clear water. There is a spa, tropical landscaping, and plenty of seating areas. It also has surround sound, a flat screen TV, and a grilling area to help you relax and unwind.

Please note that there are parking restrictions within the Villages of Crystal Beach. There are three parking spaces available in the driveway of the home. Trailers, RV's, boats, golf carts, and motorcycles are not allowed within the community gates; alternate parking arrangements will need to be made for these items. 

Area Attractions: 

It's a terrific residential area, yet close to restaurants and activities in Destin. Walk the short walk to the beach, or hop on the free, seasonal trolley. Nearby are 6 miles of paved trails - perfect for both walking and biking.

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!

Overall, it was a great trip. The house needs a little updating in some areas, but it wasn’t too bad. Housekeeping could do a better job at cleaning. The pool area is nice.

The house was gorgeous and clean. Very spacious, we had a crew of 10 and we were not on top of each other. It’s about 10 minutes from Destin Harbor Boardwalk. Destin Commons across the street, along with Publix and Whole Food. If your a Walmart person about 10 minutes away. The pool was nice. I love the fact that the pool has a walk in area, we had toddlers and it gave them the freedom to play at the entrance of the pool. The enjoyed the pool so much that they no longer want to go to the beach. If there was a question or a concern they answered in a timely manner. After leaving we realized we left a bag with the car and home keys and we were only a few hours away from home. We called and they found the bag. They went above and beyond to accommodate us by overnighting it. We greatly appreciated it.
