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!

2 Familien mit 12 Personen, 6 Erwachsene und 6 Kinder, darunter auch Kleinkinder (3-4 Jahre)
Uns hat die Unterkunft sehr gut gefallen. Die Lage war top. Zum Strand sind es ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuß (ohne Kinder). Es war sehr ruhig gelegen. Im Haus war alles, was man braucht. Jedoch haben 1-2 Spülhandtücher mehr und ein Wäscheständer gefehlt. Kaputte Dinge, wie Sonnenschirm und Strandstühle könnten ausgetauscht werden. Der Stand war ein Traum. Sehr sauber.
Wir würden es definitiv weiterempfehlen.- Posted: 8/10/2024
Elicia, Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, uns von Ihrem Urlaub zu erzählen. Wir freuen uns zu hören, dass Ihnen und Ihren Familien die Unterkunft gefallen hat und Sie die Lage als praktisch und ruhig empfunden haben. Es ist großartig, dass das Haus alles hatte, was Sie brauchten, und wir freuen uns über Ihr Feedback zu den Geschirrtüchern und dem Wäscheständer sowie der Strandausrüstung. Wir hoffen, dass Sie bald wieder dabei sind. Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich für RealJoy entschieden haben.Real Joy staff

Amazing stay! Would for sure stay again. Only complaint is that the house had the absolute bare minimum of paper products, soap, etc. we had to buy everything the first day we got there. But other than that it was a perfect stay! Would stay again. Thank you!!- Posted: 6/30/2024

Very great place and location for this family trip, spacious for guests. Cable tv and wifi connection were good. Noticed on the list there was a mention of an indoor pool, but location provided where. Great community pool, loved the available beach supplies. Suggest reminding guest to purchase laundry supplies and beach tools prior to arrival. Early check-in availability would've been great too, but understand allowing the staff an opportunity to clean the home prior to new guest arrival. We plan to return and use this home again if available.- Posted: 5/6/2024
Kyle, Thank you for the 5-star review. It's great to hear that you found the property spacious and well-equipped for your family trip.

The unit was as described but it could use a good deep clean of the floors. Some repairs that have been done on the unit could be better but overall the unit delivered on its promises.- Posted: 10/28/2023
Lauren, We are glad this property lived up to your expectations. We’re sorry if the unit was not as clean as it should have been. Next time let us know during your stay and we’ll send the cleaners back out to make it right. We hope you enjoyed some time on our beautiful beaches and will join us again soon.

Destin
We had to reschedule our Fall Break at the last minute. Hurricane Ian destroyed many things, including our plans. I’ve been to Destin dozens of times over the last 30+ years. Great property, very close to Mid-Bay Bridge. Easy to get groceries, go to dinners, and avoid the traffic on the main road. My Brother in Law wants to buy this property. He fell in love immediately.- Posted: 10/27/2022

Perfect family house
Some complained about the noise behind the house. 3 business garbage bins being emptied daily. The bedroom in front never heard it. The back bedrooms definitely hear it but it was 4:30am every morning for about 15 minutes,not all night. We used a sound machine to help. We had deep sleepers so it didn’t effect us to bad. House was very clean and had the necessity’s to cook a meal. There was both a regular coffee pot (bring coffee filters) and a Keurig. Biggest issue was the beach the shuttle takes you to has a very small section for public use. So there was no where to set up for a day at the beach, do to so many people on such a small stretch of beach. Drive down to the beach around the Crap Trap to have a day at the beach. We did come in June which is one of the busiest times of the year. Bring a baby gate if you have little ones! We didn’t bring one thinking the house would have one and constantly we’re finding things to block the stairs from the 2 year old.- Posted: 7/4/2021

We stayed at Shell Yeah for 3 nights and it was a really nice experience! It’s located close to different beaches and many restaurants. It’s a beautiful place and it accommodated our entirely family comfortably. When we had questions, we were able to message the owners and got replies pretty quickly.- Posted: 10/4/2020

Great location! House was newly renovated and immaculate. The neighborhood is very cute and safe with a great pool. Walk to the beach was about 15 mins so not too bad! Would definitely come stay here again.- Posted: 9/20/2020

Great stay in Destin! They have plenty of room, beautiful pool and a grill with a propane tank! Unfortunately there was a lot of sand when we first came and the bathrooms could have been cleaner but aside from that, we enjoyed our stay. We managed to squeeze three cars in the drive way without being on the street so that was helpful. The property manager came by and he was very welcoming and accommodating!- Posted: 8/9/2020
Hi Jennifer, thank you for your feedback! We are happy to hear you found the home spacious and you got to enjoy the wonderful pool. Thank you again for your feedback and thank you for staying with Real Joy!Real Joy staff

I had a great time with my family here in this beautiful home. We had more than enough room for everyone to sleep comfortably. We also enjoyed the pool on the property, and my older children could walk to the shopping mall across from the subdivision. The beach was a bit further than we expected, but wasn’t no more than a 20-25 minute walk. Overall beautiful experience, and definitely will visit again!- Posted: 7/30/2020

This home was very clean and looks exactly like the pictures. Perfect for our family of 8 with a lot of extra room. About a 10 minute walk from the beach. The neighborhood pool was very nice.- Posted: 7/23/2020

This place was incredibly accommodating. Clean as a whistle and just really chill place to kick it with family. Only thing I would recommend is a tv in the room with the bunk beds. Location is close to the beach. Parking is incredibly limited. We rode around for 30 minutes because we were limited to 2 vehicles and we had 3 in our party. May not be the owners fault but it’s a drawback. Ultimately security allowed us to park the 3rd vehicle on the sidewalk.- Posted: 3/15/2020
Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear you found the home clean and accommodating and enjoyed the location! We will forward your other comments to our Ops team to assess. Thank you again for your feedback and thank you for choosing Real Joy!Real Joy staff
