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 watersports.
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!

Great stay, we enjoyed the pool area never got to busy. Easy walk to the beach but also took the shuttle once as the driver volunteered her services. Beds were comfy and lots of room for some family game nights/UNO

We have booked this home severalTimes on our trip to Destin over the years with our kids and it’s comfortable and well maintained. They also have more than enough kitchen seating for the number of guests they can accommodate, which is a rarity amongst homes. We gave it 4 stars only because of a broken master suite bed. It looks as if the middle bottom brace will need replaced as the supports no longer hold. My husband and I discovered this immediately as the bed caves badly towards the center. This resulted in me sleeping on the couch as it was utterly impossible for two people to sleep on the king bed. I therefore got nearly no sleep the entire trip.
