Villages of Crystal Beach is an exclusive, gated community only a few blocks from the beautiful blue waters and white sandy beaches of Destin. 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:

It's a terrific residential area, yet close to restaurants and activities in Destin. Walk to the beach, or hop on the free, seasonal trolley, running from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Walk to restaurants or shopping areas.

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!

The house was nice. Prob about a 10 minute walk to one of the nicest beaches I’ve ever seen. Big heated community pool was heat for colder days. Under 5 min drive to supermarket, restaurants etc.

With having so many little kids in our family, this space was so nice to give them places to play and not feel cramped. We also loved the pool and the kids had a blast and are already wondering when we can come back!!

Perfect for our family of five

We loved the house, the pool, and the location. It was perfect for our family of five (and big enough to accommodate more people). The owner responded to every question we had in a timely manner. We would definitely book it again.

We enjoyed our visit here. The location was close to the beach and close to shopping and lots of restaurants. The home was large enough to accommodate 6 adults and a 4 year old. The pool was perfect. And it was a quiet little neighborhood that felt safe. I look forward to booking here in the future.

Beautiful Home

The home was beautiful, and the personnel that were working on the property were very nice and personable. The only downside that I saw with this unit was the water heater did not last long at all, which was a shame because the walk in showers looked amazing, and the refrigerator took almost 3 days to freeze and ice pack for my cooler. Other than that the unit was absolutely amazing and the property was beautiful and kid friendly. We would definitely recommend these rentals to family and friends and will certainly be back.

Justin, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your stay in Tahitian Paradise, a beautiful 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home in Villages of Crystal Beach that you would definitely recommend to family and friends. Please accept our apology for the water heater and the refrigerator not functioning properly. We would have been more than happy to send someone to come and assess these appliances had we been made aware during your stay. We will forward your comments regarding these two items to property managers. Thank you for choosing Real Joy. Please visit again soon.

Beach Getaway

The house is very comfortable and can easily accommodate 9 guests. We had a wonderful vacation with our adult children and their spouses and our grandchild. Very short walk to the beach.

Great location

Enjoyed the condo, my only complaint is that I couldn’t rent a golf cart because they aren’t allowed in the neighborhood.

Vacation 2021

Nice gated community. Really nice pool. The trolley is really busy going to and from beach. The trolley that takes you too and from the beach would of been nice, waited a hour for Tim to show up and never did. The house is really great. Would stay again if the price wasn’t so much.
- Posted: 6/19/2021

Nice place. Close to the awesome community pool. We were able to walk to the beach from here. The only thing we didn’t like was that we either couldn’t figure out how to lock the restrooms or they didn’t have locks on the doors. I would stay here again.

BEAUTIFUL

This property was fantastic! The only thing I would recommend is replacing the mattresses... pillow tops wear over time and cause undue aches as they wear and also investing in a larger hot water tank... 3 minutes of hot water is not enough to shower with!! Great location, prompt service and very clean place!!

Great place to rent!

Loved the area and the home itself. The only problem was that some of the towels provided were stained but other than that everything else was great! ? I would recommend the home to small families, and there are many things close by to explore!

Awesome place with a great pool... location perfect

Place was awesome and beautiful! Just a few down sides... the icemaker didn't produce ice, none of the bedrooms had locks on them, and the master with the jacuzzi tub would start up once or twice a day by itself. Loved location, pool was great.... the pool attendant will get on to you if your in the pool with any drinks.. ?.. lol but location was great!!

Girls trip review

This property was amazing.. And our stay was great. We enjoyed every minute of it. It was hard to leave on the last day. It’s a really nice house located in a very nice neighborhood. We can’t wait to come back in summer 2021. I would suggest they check on the water pressure in the toilet upstairs though, it’s kind of low.
