Area Attractions:

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. 

All the excitement of Destin is just minutes away: choice of water-sports, golf, amusement parks, and outlet shopping.  One glimpse of Destin beaches and you're hooked. It must be the wide, white beaches and the famous emerald waters. Not to mention the fabulous fishing, the world's most beautiful beaches, addictive seafood and the full array of activities for kids of all ages and more fun to be found in Destin.

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!

W loved everything about our stay. The home was clean, and was inviting. We would love to stay again next year. It also helps that the neighbor who lives next door, was incredibly kind. All in all, no complaints!

Perfect place for our family of 12. The kids aged 11-22 loved walking out the door to the tennis basketball and volleyball courts. Beach was a super easy walk. We enjoyed Thanksgiving week here but had to plan enough time to allow for oven to take over 30 minutes to get to 350 degrees. Dishwasher also had quirks. But so many dishes were fabulous- many large bowls. Frying pans, but no 9x 13 which surprised me. I also found it weird to purchase our own toilet paper, soap, salt and pepper, spices condiments… I also would have loved a few folding chairs but there were benches and we made it work no problem. It was exceptionally cold in FL when we arrived and home temp was 39 degrees and it took overnight to warm up but after that first night temps were fine. Fire alarm battery needed changing- and lint in dryer had to be cleaned out before use
