The Bed Setup: 1st Floor: Guest Bedroom - Queen Guest Bedroom - Queen 2nd Floor: Master Bedroom - King Sleeper Sofa in Living Room 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.

The RealJoy team was super helpful from check in to check out and were very prompt in answering the few questions we had during our stay.

The furnishings are worn and need updating. Because of that they didn't feel "clean" or "fresh". The pool was great. If a bit more updated, we would make this our go to rental. ##### Claire O. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2021 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jennifer W. 16 Jun 2017 #### Nice house! Great location to beach The house is nice enough but had a bit more wear on it than I expected. There were several areas that needed paint touch ups. The pool is definitely smaller than it appears in pictures. The walk to the beach was very convenient. A beach wagon or something of that sort would have been a nice touch. ##### Jennifer W.
