Area Attractions:

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. 

All the excitement of Destin is just minutes away: choice of water-sports, golf, amusement parks, and outlet shopping.  One glimpse of Destin beaches and you're hooked. It must be the wide, white beaches and the famous emerald waters. Not to mention the fabulous fishing, the world's most beautiful beaches, addictive seafood and the full array of activities for kids of all ages and more fun to be found in Destin.

Nearby are 6 miles of paved trails - perfect for both walking or biking. Pretty, unspoiled, Henderson Beach State Park is just down the road as well.  

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 in a nice gated community close to the ocean. The communication was great. The only issue we had was after our departure we were asked to pay for a small damage to the garage wall that we did not damage. Luckily I had rime stamped pictures from when we first arrived at the house that showed the damage was already there prior to us staying. After showing the pictures of the house when we arrived we were not charged for the damage.

Everything was as advertised. Everything was very clean and cozy. A beautiful family atmosphere. I will definitely be back next year. My kids loved it. wouldn't change a thing, amazing experience. Another important thing is that they always respond very quickly. Each question was answered within seconds. They always try to help as much as possible.

Family Vaca 2023
Check In was easy process...9-4 and then stayed and checked out 9-8. Enjoyed the Destin area, the beaches and the home. Compfy beds. Well equipped and other then the stains on furniture and stools at the bar area, Nicely kept home. Close to nice seafood restaurants as well. Didn't use the Gulf cart this trip. Thought it was just the $500 refundable deposit. We're unaware of the $50 per day use. Didn't have that extra in our budget this time around. Perhaps next time we stay with Real Joy as well.

Spring break
Very nice place. Great location. The kitchen was very well equipped with dishes and utensils. Plenty of room for family to lounge. The only thing I would say is couch needs a good scrubbing.

Loved this beautiful place . Even though there was a lot of going up and down stairs. We did have a problem with the roof leaking from the jacuzzi. We called and a workman came within an hour and checked it out

Everything was perfect. Being in a gated community allowed me to feel at ease with my kids. The pool and hot tub were great to have so close by. The golf cart made us have an extra activity each day! Place is huge! Everything was just great.

Destin Bonaire Retreat
Bonaire Retreat is a beautiful property in a great location. Easy access to the beach walking or using the golf cart that's included. The house was perfect for a family of four. Loved the open concept downstairs. Kitchen had everything necessary for cooking. Spent a lot of time at the basketball/tennis courts and walking the neighborhood. When I called about questions, etc. they were very receptive and helpful. Check in and check out was easy. Would recommend staying here and would stay here again.

Absolutely wonderful!
Very clean and comfortable house. Plenty of room for our family of 6 including 3 children under 6. The golf cart makes the stay! It’s so convenient to just ride it the less than half mile to the beach and to the neighborhood pool.

Overall great experience. Would recommend this spot to others.
Cooked our own breakfast but the location was great. Quiet gated community was a plus and the golf cart made it so easy to get back and forth from the beach. Would definitely stay here again One of the bedroom doors was hard to open but no biggie

Clean house with a GREAT location. So close to the beach and pool. The golf cart was a wonderful bonus making it easy to go wherever we needed. My parents and kids all stayed with us and we all had plenty of room for the week. Kids had plenty of room to play inside and outside. All the bedrooms are on the second floor so keep that in mind when booking. Thanks for a great week!

Great house. Quiet and clean neighborhood with a very nice private pool/hot tub, park, gym and tennis courts. The golf cart allowed us to access the beach and many restaurants with ease. Lots of beach chairs and toys are available for the kids too!

These pics dint do justice to walking thru the front door and seeing just how spacious of a place this is. Also the pool didnt look that impressive in the photo, but when we got there it was twice the size i had expected plus hot tub. As long as there are no "karens" at the pool be prepared to have a good time.
