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!

The house was perfect and had everything we needed. It was huge and just what we needed for our large group trip, comfortably fitting all 14 of us. The house was only a very short walk to the beach — the location truly couldn’t be better, directly across the street.
We had a wonderful stay at this home. The kids absolutely loved the pool, and we were able to capture some really special memories together. The location was perfect for our group of families, and we truly enjoyed our time here. All the things we needed to stay, cook, and relax were available, and we appreciated having beach chairs and pool accessories ready for us as well.
We had few small challenges during the stay, but the RealJoy team was responsive and helpful whenever we reached out. Overall, we had a great experience and appreciated the support throughout our visit.
Highly recommend! Thank You- Reviewed On: 12/29/2025
