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 two 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:
There are wonderful shops and restaurants close by and great attractions such as golf courses, Big Kahuna's Water and Adventure Park, boating, fishing, and water sports!
Also, 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 the 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 devices when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

The rental we stayed in was “Turtle cove” in Destin Fl. It was a nice place and is close to the beach. My kids walked there a few times but there is a shuttle to use if needed. The unit was spacious and near lot of places in Destin. We could have actually walked to the Destin commons if we wanted but we just drove. We would definitely like to book this place again for our family to stay here! We loved it!- Reviewed On: 4/19/2026

The house was exactly like the pictures. It was clean and spacious. There were even more amenities like a wagon and grill that were provided that we didn’t even know about! We did have an air conditioning issue in the second floor the first night. It was reading 78 degrees the whole first day we were there. I contacted the an agent and once I told them we had kids with us, she immediately sent someone out to fix the issue. It only took an hour for someone to come and the issue was fixed within 30-40 mins. Once he fixed it, the air got cold and we didn’t have any issues. There were no issues with check in or check out and everyone loved the area and Turtle Cove. If we ever come back, I would definitely stay again.- Reviewed On: 8/2/2025

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET….I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT OUR EXPERIENCE WITH THIS UNIT WAS BEAUTIFUL IN EVERY WAY. THE PICTURES ON THE SITE IS TRUE TO ITS CONTENT. We came in to celebrate our Sister’s 60th Birthday and had a wonderful time. This unit was very spacious everyone had there on privacy in the rooms and bathrooms. Loved that it had so many accommodations in the kitchen everything you will need.We stayed on the far end off season so it was quiet during the nights which made it even better. The Hostesses WAS GREAT THEY HAD KINDESS OVERLOAD. I only had issues with the Tv in the All the rooms they did come out to fix them but we still had no service. BUT I WILL TAKE IT AS IT WAS only issue is the parking spaces that HUMP WILL TEAR YOU CAR UP IT NEED TO BE SMOOTH OUT. ONE OTHER ISSUE IS THAT IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE BUT DEFINITELY GOT WHAT I PAID FOR BUT I THINK OFF SEASON SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE CHEAPER.- Reviewed On: 3/2/2025

Two moms along with five kids had a great time at Turtle Cove. The house accommodated us perfectly! Plenty of space, fully equipped kitchen and perfect location. The kids loved the pool but more than anything the “block party” feel in the street out front. All the kids on the block played together while parents fears of traffic was almost at a zero. Destin Commons is so close which has great shopping and an even better play area that our littles and teens couldn’t get enough of. The house and its location fit our needs to a tee!- Reviewed On: 3/26/2024
