Area Attractions:
Crystal Beach is a terrific residential area, yet close to restaurants and activities in Destin. Walk to close by restaurants such as the award-winning 790 Inn on the Gulf or Camille's, get your fro-yo on at U-Twirl Frozen Yogurt, or learn how to ride the waves at All-A Board Surf School.
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!

Loved the location. It was just a block from the beach. All the stores were just minutes away. The house itself was cozy and comfortable. It was nice to have a pool in the back. The kids loved it. I'd stay there again.
We had a great stay. The house was exactly what we needed. It was so clean and the pool was great. Being only a 5 minute walk to the beach was a bonus. Would definitely stay here again!
The location was great. Close to essentials for shopping, eating, groceries, etc. Close to the beach too. The home was clean, and comfortable. We totally enjoyed our stay. Will come back again for sure.
we throughly enjoyed our stay! The property is located in a great area. We were minutes away from eateries, shopping, and other fun actives. But almost just feet away from the ocean. My family and I have raved about the stay and will be back next year. Thanks for having us!
We recently stayed at the Crystal Cottage at Crystal Shores in Destin. It was an amazing place. Everything worked perfectly. The beds slept great and the pool was great to hang out in after being on the beach, which was a short walk away. The RealJoy team was super helpful from check in to check out and were very prompt in answering the few questions we had during our stay. I would definitely recommend staying there if you’re ever in the Destin area!
The house has an awesome location and a great area. That being said, there were very few amenities for us to use. You will have to bring hand soap, coffee, pool towels, shampoo, and every other little thing you can think of. For the price you're paying, you would hope to have some of this readily available, but this may be something that is just considered the norm in Destin.
Other than that, you will have a fun time with your family and enjoy being this close to the ocean!
The house is located 1 block from the beach and central to shopping and dining. Easy beach access so you can go back and forth in a day. Very comfortable and family friendly! We would definitely visit again!
Absolutely loved this house. Looks exactly like the pictures. We had 6 Adults and had plenty of room. The pool is good size. And the house is just a few steps to the gorgeous ocean. I would definitely stay here again.
Was very impressed with the property. Pool was very clean and so was the house. Very comfortable bed in the master bedroom. The property location is very convenient to everything Destin has to offer. Would book this property again
We absolutely loved the house! It is so cute and juat a short walk to the beach. It was very clean and we had plenty of amenities to last the duration of our stay. The backyard was fabulous with the pool, grill and plenty of seating. a bb
We had a fantastic time! Great location and pool! Inside had a few things that were a bit dated and could be nicer But overall it was fantastic and comfortable. Very close to beach and pool were hits!!!
