Area Attractions: 

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!

During our stay we ran into a few problems with the house, but RealJoy Vacations was amazing. They were fast to respond and accommodate our requests, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Jonathan, Ryan, and Tina were all great!"

"This was perfect for our family, even though it was too cold for the beach. We played board games, prepared our meals and was able to shop and not have to go far. We most definitely will plan to come back when it’s warmer to enjoy the full amenities this place has to offer! Also thanks for the cookies 🍪🥰"

"Great place & location! Just a few minute walk to the beach. I paid for our pool to be heated during our short stay and we had some issues with that but they responded quickly & sent someone out to check. Unfortunately it still didn’t heat the pool but they quickly gave me a refund & it wasn’t a big deal anyway. We still really enjoyed our stay! Would book again!"

"What a beautiful place ♥️ We loved the house and the location! We needed a place to stay in between our son’s USAF Drop Night, and his USAF Pilot Graduation Ceremony at Fort Rucker Army Base, Alabama the weekend before and the weekend after our stay. Being able to have everyone in our family that was attending stay together was priceless specially after my dad’s passing in September. We had everything we needed at the house. The staff was amazing throughout our stay and kept checking up with us to see if there was anything we needed which was nice. Everything looked great, and it was super clean! The grocery store was a couple of minutes away by car, and the beach access was just a 4 minute walk! We are grateful for our stay ♥️ Can’t wait to come back!!!"

"everything was very nice, had no problems with anything! - Only thing that needs changed online is the picture of the ocean view from the front of the house, it is no longer a ocean view, because of new condos going up, taking the place of the ocean view!"

"Great Beach House! - We had a great time at this beach house, it was so close to the beach, just a quick walk across the street, the pool in the back yard was awesome for the kids, although we could not figure out how to turn on the pool light..otherwise the house was very clean, very big, it had enough room to fit our entire group, I have no complaints at all, and I'm sure we will be back in the future!"

"Definitely recommend and will stay again! - The beach house was very spacious and no one was on top of each other. The view and proximity to the beach was awesome. It’s location almost perfect, it was close enough to everything that we weren’t in the thick of Destin beach traffic. Aside from a few cosmetic flaws here and there around the house, it was an awesome mini vacay. We would definitely book this place again when returning to the area."

"Teacher Beach Get-A-Way - We had 14 teachers stay at the property for a small get away. It was PERFECT! The house slept all of us with plenty of room. Everyone went on and on about how perfect it was for the 14 of us. Close enough to the beach that we walked there several times a day and close enough to shopping that we could run and shop and then still able to come back and enjoy the beach. We are thinking about making this a yearly trip, would definitely stay here again next year!"

Loved sitting on the open front and back porches. Just a walk across the street for the beach. Loved the private pool and the Guest house above the 2 car garage with its own private kitchen.

"We enjoyed this house. The updates were very nice and it had a great view of the beach. The only issue was that you cannot walk directly across the street to get to the beach. That public access has been closed so you have to walk about a tenth of a mile or so down the road to get to the nearest public beach access. We quickly got used to it, though, and it was not a huge deal. It would have been nice to walk just across the street, though. Otherwise, it was a great experience and I would rent this house again in the future!"

"This house has it all. - Very good time. Description of house exactly what we got. Very clean. Tv in every room. Good view. Very impressed of the house and the ammenities. Despite being close to neighbors was very private. Gas grill. Two car garage with fishing pools and boogie boards. Plenty of room for 17-18 people. Noise was very low. Very easy to check in and out. Overall...5 of 5!"

"Loved Ocean Breeze! - We were in Florida for our National Dance Competition that was in Ft. Walton Beach. We own a Dance Studio and rented this home due to the many bedrooms to accommodate my large family and our teachers. The Carriage House was fabulous for the 4 teachers we brought with us. What a way to unwind after being at competition all day to sit by the pool or on the front porch listening to the waves! The beach is right across the street and since the street is a dead end, there was very little traffic. The 2 car garage was full of extra beach chairs, floats for the pool and sand toys that others, including us, have left behind for additional renters to enjoy. The only minor issues is that the upstairs does not get as cool as we are accustomed to, the cook top is temperamental about starting right up, and my son had to fix the fan in the Carriage House (one of the blades was loose and was hitting the light fixture), a minor fix. The landscaping needs to be attended to, lots of cigarette butts, bottle tops, etc. left behind from others, bottles in the bushes, just some minor things. A contractor came the first day we were there to look at the kitchen cabinets which had the acrylic paint peeling off, and those were to be repaired. Another small issue was the big refrigerator had no shelves left on the side so many of your refrigerated cooking items had to be placed on the shelves, taking up valuable space when we were cooking for a LARGE group. Over all, we LOVED our stay and would return again and recommend this rental to all with a large family!"
