All the excitement of Destin is just minutes away: choice of watersports, 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.
Here you will find wind surfing, snorkeling, water-skiing and parasailing offered all along the Gulf. Nearby attractions include a Big Kahuna's Waterpark, The Track Family Fun Center and an array of watersports available at Destin Harbor. Of course, you'll want to savor the unique and delicious flavors of the freshest seafood available at any of Destin's more than 100 eateries! Restaurants here range from casual oyster bars to elegant bistros serving culinary delights guaranteed to please your palate.
Come enjoy the freshest seafood, go fishing for all types of salt and freshwater fish, explore fun shops and boutiques or simply relax on breathtaking beaches.
Just 1.5 miles away 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.
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. Loved the convenience of walking to the beach under the tunnel, especially for kids! Spacious for 2 families. Overall, we had a great week and would definitely come back.- Posted: 3/28/2025

Can’t beat the hosts or the location. Large house to accommodate everyone
Fabulous location. Parking right out front door. Lots of space. EXTREMEMELY responsive hosts. There wasn’t a hand mixer and we were making mashed potatoes and they promptly brought a brand new one over for us to use. Very clean house Kitchen was missing some standard items like potholders, dishes that could go in the microwave. All the dishes are extremely heavy. But there’s more than enough dishes for a large group. Also couldn’t figure out the AC upstairs. One bedroom always, another absolutely freezing. Shower doesn’t get very hot in large upstairs bedroom but scalds in the other.- Posted: 11/30/2024

We are locals and this was just a one week staycation. Instructions were provided via email and were very clear. There wasn't much communication as we really didn't have any questions or concerns. We had the whole house to ourselves and loved the balconies overlooking the lake. Walking distance to the beach, but we really didn't care as we are locals but my daughters loved the pool. Wish we had more time, but would definitely stay there again.- Posted: 8/26/2024

An absolutely joy. We spent a few days spanning over NYE and were impressed with everything the property had the offer. Great location and would love to return. Had a small issue with a broken chair from a prior stay and only reported it so the mgmt team would be aware. They promptly arrived at the property to remove the damaged chair and made sure everything else was going well. Totally unexpected. Thanks!- Posted: 1/2/2024

The Beach Villa was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 2 teenagers. We enjoyed sitting on the patio on Four Prong Lake watching the birds, fish and turtles. Just across the beach, we enjoyed the beach, which was very family friendly and a bit quieter than other areas we visited. The Crab Trap had a wonderful outdoor bar with outdoor heaters and a beautiful place to enjoy the sunset.
RealJoy’s instructions to check-in were quite clear and they reached out to let us know how to contact them if we needed anything. They were quite clear that no kitchen consumables (coffee filters, seasonings or condiments) nor beach gear were included. We did leave some boogie boards, so the next renters could enjoy them.
The only negative I have is that the Lake side patio could use a spray down, especially of the ceiling, and some of the chairs on the upstairs patio could use to be replaced. Other than that the week just went by way to quickly.- Posted: 10/21/2023
Stephanie, We're pleased to hear that the Beach Villa provided the perfect setting for your group. We appreciate your feedback on the property, and leaving boogie boards for the next renters is thoughtful. It's wonderful to know you enjoyed the outdoor amenities and the beautiful sunset at The Crab Trap. We hope you'll join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.Real Joy staff

The house is perfect for a family beach vacation. This location was with in a quick safe walk to the beach. The beach was beautiful. The lake was nice. The was a lot of wild life to watch from the master bedroom. My children were able to see turtles, fish and owls.
There were a couple of roaches but nothing of major concern.
Our only issues were the gnats outside. It is nothing the owners could have done to fix this. This is the joys of being close to the lake. But it is definitely worth mentioning for those who never lived by a lake.
We would definitely stay here again.- Posted: 10/13/2023
Lynda, We're delighted to hear that you had a great family beach vacation and enjoyed the location. Your experience with the wildlife and the beauty of the beach and lake sounds wonderful. We appreciate your feedback about the minor concerns, and we're glad you found them manageable. Thank you for choosing RealJoy, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future.Real Joy staff

We had a fantastic stay! A beautiful home on a lagoon and right across the street from the ocean with an easy tunnel to provide access. The house was clean with all the beds we needed and plenty of plates and glassware to accommodate. One critique one be that the room with the bunkbeds. While plenty of sleeping options in there, the middle and upper bunks were limited to 200lbs or less which I believe should be known prior to arriving. Overall, it was a great stay and an awesome weekend in a place that I would certainly book again. Great location, great hosts, and a clean house with easy and reasonable check-in/check-out instructions. Finally, the hosts were great! Extremely responsive and helpful to us!- Posted: 10/8/2023
Robert, We're delighted to hear that you had a fantastic stay and appreciated the convenient access to the beach. Thank you for your valuable feedback, and we'll take note of your suggestion regarding the bunk beds. We appreciate your acknowledgment of our wonderful staff and look forward to hosting you again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.Real Joy staff

We had a great stay; everything was as advertised. Note that the bunk room is very small and you can’t do much in there except for sleep. We had one maintenance issue while we were there - the host was very responsive and a repair person was out to fix it in about an hour. Terrific location right near the under road tunnel so the kids could run back-and-forth to the beach by themselves. Thanks for a great stay!- Posted: 3/26/2023

Our family of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our month long stay at the most beautiful Destiny Beach Villa on the gorgeous Emerald Coast. Everything from the villa, the location, the people, the restaurants, the beach, the vibe, was absolutely perfect. We very much look forward to staying there again!
Sincerely,
The Lawlis Family- Posted: 1/31/2023

We loved the place and it’s location. House was perfect for our large family. Plenty of room. We couldn’t see the ocean because of the houses in front but the view off the back deck was beautiful and relaxing. Short walk to the pool and ocean. We would stay there again!- Posted: 10/15/2022

Really loved our stay. Would come back again. There are a few insects around but it’s Florida and expected. Can’t wait to be back!- Posted: 10/6/2022

Excellent Newly renovated
Great place for my group of friends. The house was awesome and newly renovated. Only suggestion would be to secure additional parking spaces to accommodate a group of 11. Only 2 passes provided but 3 or 4 seems more realistic for the 11 guests. I would absolutely book this place again.- Posted: 10/4/2022

We loved our stay. Check in and out was easy, the house was well maintained and very clean. It was an easy 3 minute walk to the beach. We loved the back deck. The office was very responsive when we had questions. We would recommend staying here and we look forward to coming back soon.- Posted: 7/2/2022

This is a perfect location, close to the beach, backing onto a lake and on a quiet part of the road. The views over the lake were beautiful. The house has everything you could want or need, but be sure to bring all of your cooking supplies with you. We had a wonderful trip.- Posted: 5/1/2022

Such a beautiful and serene location! Sitting out on the back deck drinking coffee in the morning is so wonderful! Lots of cute turtles in the pond :) Plus you’re a short walk to the beach and the crab trap restaurant is right there for convenience! It was perfect!- Posted: 4/24/2022
