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!

Nice house and an awesome location. Pool was great and there is a gazebo that we weren’t aware of, but was great when grilling fresh fish and a pop up shower comes through. House could use some TLC on some issues, but the property management team was extremely responsive to the minor issues that arose. This property met our needs very well and is highly recommended. Gave it a four (wish I could do a 4.5) as there were some things that should have been discovered by the cleaners and reported, and the back gate and pool toys storage box needed attention. Again, the property manager is on it, but just some things that would make this a true five start property. Thanks for good memories.

Relaxing Beach Escape with Easy Check-In

We stayed at this beach house for 4 nights and had a great time overall. The location is convenient about a quarter mile from the beach which made it easy to get there while still being in a quiet area. The house was very clean, and check-in was smooth and hassle-free.The only downsides were the master bedroom mattress, which wasn’t very comfortable, and the lack of blinds on the entrance door. A little added privacy there would have been nice.Other than that, it was a great place to stay and we really enjoyed our time!

Awesome location

This house has a great location and a saltwater pool such a bonus that it was saltwater! However just a few problems arose. The first was the bed upstairs was so very terrible that my husband and I both had backaches everyday. Please get a new mattress! The second was the lightbulb was burned out in the master bath toilet which was too high for my husband to reach and to be fair we did not ask anyone to change it because we did not want our time interupted.the third is the upstairs shower line is clogged with hair. The fourth was we killed 2 very big roaches in the kitchen which on the coast is probably going to happen so it is fine with me. For the location though if they changed the mattress I would book this place again.

Crystal Cottage

We recently stayed at the Crystal Cottage at Crystal Shores in Destin. It was an amazing place. Everything worked perfectly. The beds slept great and the pool was great to hang out in after being on the beach, which was a short walk away. 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. I would definitely recommend staying there if you’re ever in the Destin area!

Close to beach but DIRTY

this place was so dirty when we checked in. None of the furniture matches. Grass wasn’t cut. Garden isn’t kept up with. The “repairs” in the house were horribly executed. Dead roaches in cabinets. Very frustrating to pay a cleaning fee and it’s not even clean on arrival. Would not recommend staying here.
