It's a serene little oasis in the middle of Destin, with 2 and a half miles of paved trails for walking and biking, surrounded by quiet neighborhoods perfect for exploring on a bike. It's just minutes away from restaurants, shopping, boat docks, fishing, golf, and amusements.

An easy walk along the beach will take you to the jetties, where the Gulf of Mexico and Destin Harbor meet, a spot well-known for great snorkeling and fishing. Here you can also watch boats going out deep-sea fishing and returning from the Gulf to the harbor.

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.

Incredible space with an over abundance of room. There were eight of us and absolutely could’ve comfortably had many more. Spacious backyard area and numerous decks/terraces. Responsive host, outstanding location. If in the area would absolutely stay here again.

We absolutely loved this beach house! It was so spacious and perfect for our multi-family group with kids ages 2–17. Everyone had plenty of room and never felt crowded! The bikes were a huge hit, especially with the older kids who stayed on them nonstop! Easy walk to the beach and the private beach access was such a bonus—never felt crowded at all!
We had the pool heated and while it took a day or two to warm up (expected in early April!), it was still one of our favorite parts of the stay! The host was very responsive and even provided a full propane tank for the grill at no charge, which we really appreciated!
The kitchen was fully stocked and having 3 ice machines was a game changer—saved us so many trips! Plenty of parking too, which is rare for beach houses and made things so much easier with a large group!
Bonus: one bedroom had two queens AND a crib, which was amazing for us with a little one! Bedtime was so easy!
Overall, zero complaints! We would 100% stay again

We used Real Joy Vacations from March 7-11 in Destin, Fl. From check in to check out, we had an excellent experience. The house was exactly as described and was furnished with everything we could possibly want or need. Marie and Kandace were exceptional at customer service and responded very quickly to anything that I had asked about. We will definitely use this service again in the future near future.
