The Bed Setup: 1st Floor Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa 2nd Floor Master Bedroom: King Bed Guest Bedroom: Full Bed Guest Bedroom 3: Twin over Full bunk with Twin Trundle 3rd Floor Loft: Guest Bedroom 4: Two Queen Beds Area Attractions: Crystal Beach is a terrific residential area, yet close to restaurants and activities in Destin. Walk to close-by restaurants such as the award-winning 790 Inn on the Gulf or Camille's, get your fro-yo on at U-Twirl Frozen Yogurt, or learn how to ride the waves at All-A Board Surf School. 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! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Food and drink - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shower - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the sea ### Things to do - Foosball table - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 2,109 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby, sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/56000000/55460000/55456300/55456286/81f9c1a1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Seasonal Beach Service & NEW Golf Cart Included!!
