The pool area at Villages of Crystal Beach is a vacation must! The lagoon style zero entry pool is 30,000 square feet of gorgeous, sparkling clear water. There is a spa, tropical landscaping, and plenty of seating areas. It also has surround sound, a flat screen TV, and a grilling area to help you relax and unwind.

Please note that there are parking restrictions within the Villages of Crystal Beach. There are two parking spaces available in the driveway of the home. Trailers, RV's, boats, golf carts, and motorcycles are not allowed within the community gates; alternate parking arrangements will need to be made for these items. 

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 location and stay for Destin
We really enjoyed our stay! The common space and kitchen was actually bigger in person than we thought it would be. My one suggestion is to keep a small supply of coffee filters and kitchen towels available (a pan scrubber would be nice).

The house is as described. We liked the location close to the beach. If you are traveling with kids, I recommend you to bring a wagon and/or stroller, or take the shuttle, just keep in mind that it does not run 24 hours.
The house is in good shape. They’ll let you know what you should bring and what they will provide.
We were a party of 9, including 7 adults and 2 kids. We had a blast!

Great stay! Clean home and the neighborhood was great. The lagoon style pool was also very fun and easy to get into. I will say that we were frustrated that you cannot bring a golf cart into the community and that wasn’t told to us until check-in, after we already reserved and paid for the cart. Entry signs at the community say they are permitted when they are not. So you are stuck paying $30 per night to park it outside the gates or they tow it. Also the shuttle to the beach does not run all day. Be prepared to provide ALL of your basics. We ran out of trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels, etc all after the first day and no extras are provided. We had to go buy all of that. Regardless, we loved our stay and enjoyed. I recommend providing more household basics & at least pantry basics like salt, pepper, cooking spray, etc!

Wonderful! The condo was clean and comfortable. The employees were eager to assist and quick to discuss any issues. A
Roomy, clean and very quiet. The beach is a distance away and parking is terrible for the very small public beach access. Most of the beach is private again with very small access. We just drove to a larger beach area where we didn’t have to pay $20 to park. If you bring a large wagon it could be worth the walk.

The location is great and having the Shuttle bus transport you to and from the beach makes it very convenient for spending a day out on the beach.

Our stay at Tequila Sunrise with RealJoy Vacations was fantastic. It accommodated our family that ranged in age from 2 to 63, and was perfect for everyone. We were able to access the house at 4:00 and everything was clean. The A/C worked great along with all of the TVs. The pool was a big hit and was a short walk. It was very clean and has two sides to it, with a big rock waterfall in the middle. We walked just a few blocks to the beach. Most houses have an outside toy box with beach items. We were pleasantly surprised to find a big wagon, beach chairs, buckets and many beach toys. The area is gated which made us all feel safe. We will definitely book with RealJoy and stay at this house for our next family vacation. Thanks for a great time!

Perfect Location and Place for Family
The location is great, just a couple blocks from the beach in one direction and shopping, retail in the other right off the main road and bridge. Several grocery store options within 3 minute drive. The place itself is well laid out with master on first floor next to kitchen and two more rooms upstairs. Had plenty of room for all 7 adults. Parking for two large vehicles in the driveway. We didn't watch much TV since we were at the pool and beach the entire time. We did cook and the place had everything we needed for cookware. Grill is gas and was full, used it a couple times and worked perfectly. Decent amount of towels (we did a load or two of laundry). BRING: - condiments - extra paper towels and toilet paper - extra dish towels (not a big deal) - ice (fridge ice won't last with large party) - beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, etc... Contact was super responsive and courteous. Checked on us during our stay. We never had any issues. A few things might need to be tightened up here and there, just contact them and make note so you don't get charged. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS UNIT.

The pool is very nice. The bathrooms in the pool area needed to be seriously cleaned. No beach equipment at the house to use. No trolley available and they did not tell us when we booked. 15 min walk to beach. If arriving before checkin there is very little parking by the pool.
Nice house. Waited on hold for at least thirty minutes each time we called. This property is owned by a management company with very slow response. They never responded to questions that I sent through Airbnb inbox.
