Area Attractions:
It's a terrific residential area, yet close to restaurants and activities in Destin. Walk the short walk to the beach, or hop on the free, seasonal trolley. Nearby are 6 miles of paved trails - perfect for both walking and biking.
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!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Family wedding
It was a good house. Very roomy. Close to everything. Walking distance to beach, pool right around the corner.pool area was clean. Quite. I understand not providing personal care items but..a house for 16 people, 4 bathrooms and all you provide is 4 rolls of toilet paper, 2 dishwasher detergent, liquid dish soap. I am on vacation I don't want to hand wash dishes..yes they tell you they provide bare minimum but with all the fees I personally think some things should be adequately provided for. Overall this is a nice place. ay.

Overall, it was a great trip. The house needs a little updating in some areas, but it wasn’t too bad. Housekeeping could do a better job at cleaning. The pool area is nice.

Recommend for fun with friends
We loved the location and pool. House was very comfortable but the kitchen needed more pans and hot pads for the oven. They say there’s enough toiletries for a few days and they’re not wrong. One roll of paper towels, two trash bags, one roll of toilet paper per restroom. We were fine with our three night stay.

Overall the stay was good. The toilet on the second floor (bedroom w/balcony) does runs after flushing will stop once you jiggle the handle. We did killed a few roaches and had a sighting of a bed bug the day of our departure. I reported it after leaving the property and probably should have sooner as they determined no findings but I have no reason to lie. There were no issues with the property itself as far as size and rooms as it was a total of 14 that stayed and we were comfortable. Just recommend after each stay possibly spray for bugs…I understand the climate/location in which I am in but I felt one bug was too many let alone the amount we killed within living quarters.
