Villages of Crystal Beach is an exclusive, gated community only a few blocks from Destin's beautiful blue waters and white sandy beaches. You can make the walk on foot or hop on the free seasonal trolley service (Memorial Day through Labor Day): they will even pick you up at the house and drop you off right at the beach! 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!

House was fabulous! Two families met there and it was a perfect spot and plenty of room! They were very friendly and answered our questions promptly. We even called them for pans as our house did not have them and they brought them right over. We will definitely stay here again!!

Great location and the place is lovely

The property was spacious and beautiful. Located in walking or biking distance of shops and restaurants. Beach access was 5 to 10 minutes away based off where you wanted to go. Host very proactive and friendly. Would book again

We all loved the stay. The house was plenty big enough for 15 of us. The floors need a really good cleaning though. The area rug needs replaced. Our feet were black from walking on the floors by the end of the day. The kitchen is well equipped with pots/pans/utensils. Customer service was excellent. Beds were comfortable. We would stay again.

Everything was great. The only suggestion we have is that the area surrounding the house had garbage strewn around outside on back and both sides of beach house.

We’d definitely rent again!

The home was clean and ready upon our arrival and the staff was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. Pool was walking distance as well as Waffle House and most other good food spots were right down the main street. Location is golden and community is gated! How close the houses are…I don’t think I even noticed looking at the picture. We could hear everything the people next door were doing or maybe it was because they were extremely loud.

Beds were very comfy , easy walk to the beach and pool even for littles . Second story living room great for families .

Awesome family vacation spot!

Great location near beach and the pool and hot tub are fabulous! The beds were very comfortable! Loved the decor and balconies. We rented a golf cart and found out we couldn’t keep it on the driveway overnight. Luckily, the golf cart folks let us keep it at their office a block away.

Real Joy responded so quickly to any questions or needs. The house was great!!

This place was amazing. The only problem we had was the 2nd floor shower did not work nor did the plugs in the dining area close to the kitchen. Other than that, everything was perfect and looked exactly like the pictures. Will be booking again soon ??

The house was incredibly spacious we had a family group of 15 with plenty of room to spare within the house. Host was incredibly accommodating! The beach is a 9 min walk and they also provide a great shuttle service the driver was fantastic! He picked us up within minutes of my initial call each time and even made local recommendations! Plenty of warm blankets and towels throughout the house. Kitchen was well equipped with tools. Trash was picked up regularly which was nice . The pool and hot tub were fantastic! Even had public restrooms!! One downside was that the wifi was out and a struggle for littles at night since they couldn’t watch tv. They did send someone out but issue was not resolved during our stay. Other downside was that the full bed on the 3rd floor needs replacing and is not comfortable. Over all however we had a great time and look forward to coming back!
