Description

This home has it all - location, upscale furnishings, loaded with flat screens, killer pool, room for everyone, incredible grill. It truly is fit for a king!

House of Kings is a 3-level vacation home boasting gorgeous decor, including new top-of-the-line mattresses. All five bedrooms have flat screens - the master has a 60', the other king bedrooms have 40', and the kid's bunk room has a 32'.  There are flat screens in the living room and the game room, which also has a pool table, private balcony, wet bar and music tower for iPods or iPads.  

This home has a pre-wired sound system and can be regulated for each floor separately. Enjoy the surround music center in the living room and either Blu-ray or DVD in every room that has a TV.  No chance of anyone being bored here!

The master bedroom is located on the second floor and has a private bath, XL garden tub, private balcony, and a wet bar.  There are 3 more bedrooms with king-sized beds (one located on the first floor), and the fifth bedroom has a bunk bed with a full mattress and twin sized bed. There is also 2 queen blow-up mattresses, with plenty of room to set them up. The L-shaped sectional sofa can also sleep that extra guest.

The kitchen is amazing - fully furnished, with granite countertops, stainless appliances, and high-end auto-closing cabinets.  There's a 4 burner high-end gas grill on the private patio.

House of Kings also has a full-sized laundry room with a washer and dryer, two parking spots in the driveway, as well as an overflow parking lot.

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.

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 water-sports!

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!

"This is a great place. My family and I had a great time during our stay. We needed to use the air mattress and found out that one of them had a hole that leaked air. The RealJoy team was very responsive, understanding, and prompt in resolving the mattress issue by bringing us a brand new mattress in a matter of minutes. I'll definitely stay at this place again."

"Was overall satisfied, took my son for his 9th Birthday, allowed him to take a few friends. I tell ya, they were blown away. Proceeded to eat breakfast on the third floor patio, the seating was perfect. Those little guys were so excited. It was very much worth it. I and my family will be going back. We also walked to the beach, which wasn't that far."

"very good time. we really enjoyed our stay. only minor complaints are the beach is a lot further than advertised. another reviewer said it was a 5 minuite walk, their walk must be a fast jog. 15 minutes if you move well. The 3rd floor was hot. The A/C didn't seem to function. overall a great experience and hosts were super."

"this is my 2nd stay at this property. its clean, in walking distance to the beach, 30 mins from the airport, close to shopping and restaurants.. great location. my 1st visit was great. my 2nd visit was just good not great.. the air conditioning went out but maintenance was on top of it and they were in constant communication with me. also I found 2 cockroaches which I'm really afraid of. probably time to get property sprayed ? and if I could suggest to provide or install full length mirrors for the ladies.. we need to see ourselves from head to toe."

"Great place - Location is great about 7 minute walk to beach, we had a large group and there was plenty of space to not bump into everyone. Only issue I found was parking 3 slots for a house holding that many people and finding a spot in overflow parking was usually impossible!"

"Thank you for such an amazing getaway weekend. My family and I truly enjoyed ourselves. From the communication, to the home itself was just amazing. The place is so spacious. Not once did we feel as if we were running out of space. The kitchen was well equipped and provided everything the was needed during our stay. The kids truly enjoyed the pool area and the security staff (I forgot his name) was very pleasant and accommodating. I’m most thankful for the late checkout. Overall, we definitely can’t wait to book again soon."

"Adult retreat - Wonderful location and the house was awesome as well. Previous visitors complained about a foul odor, however I found the issue!!! Old seashells in a small container of beach like salt water, were sitting on one of shelves by the stairway, the water was obviously spoiled! Only complaint is the ceiling fan on the third floor's balcony is very loose. When we turned on the switch, it started shaking very bad. Very nice neighborhood and close to grocery store and shopping plaza. It is approximately a 3 mile ride to harbor walk and about 3 miles opposite direction to the outlet mall."

"This house is beautifully situated among all the attractions and local beaches. It is so spacious, inviting and comfortable. I recommend this location for families and its perfect for couples. The only tip I have is if you are planning on preparing meals, you need to bring cooking supplies (pots/frying pans, seasonings), hand soap and trash bags other than that. The house is PERFECT!"

"House of Kings, managed by RealJoy was convenient, spacious, and probably the cleanest place we've ever stayed.
The floors were so clean that the bottom of my white fluffy slippers were STILL WHITE after walking around the entire home for 3 whole days! (we don't wear shoes inside so we didn't track anything in)
The bathrooms were all nice. The master shower could use a better shower head but it's adequate. I loved that there was a water closet in the master. The other bathrooms were standard all-in-one.
The bedrooms were spacious and well appointed. The mattresses were all very firm which some might prefer. We're a soft-mattress fam so we were a little uncomfortable but the day's activities usually tired us out enough to make up for it.
The kitchen was very well equipped with nice appliances and everything was in working order.
The sofa in the living room was probably the most comfortable piece of furniture in the entire home. I was tempted to sleep on it instead of upstairs. Lol
The location is perfect with groceries, restaurants, and the neighborhood pool all very close by.
Overall, I would highly recommend this home for a large family/ pod of friends or even a small group who likes to spread out/ have their own space."

Fun pass wasn't so useful although we did every activity that was named.
We loved it and would stay again!
Special thanks to Jessica for answering questions and the young lady who came by to fix the tiny issues we had!

"Just what I like 😊 - We enjoyed our stay at the House of Kings. The house was absolutely beautiful, clean, and quite comfortable. Lovely wide stair case, beautiful wood floors, just a great home away from home with plenty of space for all. The only issues were the living room sectional which needs to be replaced due to one feeling the springs when one sits, the kitchen stools were extremely wobbly, also the house needs an interior doormat for inclement weather, the floors were too beautiful to mess up after the rain. Lastly, inventory of kitchen items which we only used a few glasses and two bowls , however there wasn’t an even court of glasses nor dishes and we didn’t want to be held accountable for missing items. One other thing, those wanting to use the PlayStation weren’t able due to the main controller being missing, the rental company was informed. Only mentioning because the gaming system was listed as an amenity. Would we stay here again, DEFINITELY ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Our favorite beach week! - House most beautiful and comfortable for everyone including son and daughter-in-law with young baby! We had 4 families- 8 adults and 2 children. Everyone was very pleased with king-sized beds and electronic equipment. Pool table was a bonus. Kitchen well- stocked with dinnerware, glassware, and silverware but was lacking in measuring cups, pot holders, and a colander. Only one spatula was provided. Operation of electronic equipment was confusing; written instructions would have been helpful. Criticisms were minor, and we would stay there again."

"Great vacation rental for large group - Stayed at the House of Kings for a week in March 2014. There were 3 families- 6 adults and 7 teenaged boys. The house was perfect for us. Pictures and description of house and neighborhood were right on. Plenty of space for all, clean and well maintained. Property management co very quick to respond and fix any problems. Boys loved the third floor with pool table and balcony and the proximity to beach. Parents loved the pool. Destin Commons across the street provided entertainment when the weather didn't cooperate. Would definitely recommend House of Kings!"
