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. 

All the excitement of Destin is just minutes away: choice of water-sports, golf, amusement parks, and outlet shopping.  One glimpse of Destin beaches and you're hooked. It must be the wide, white beaches and the famous emerald waters. Not to mention the fabulous fishing, the world's most beautiful beaches, addictive seafood and the full array of activities for kids of all ages and more fun to be found in Destin.

Nearby are 6 miles of paved trails - perfect for both walking or biking. Pretty, unspoiled, Henderson Beach State Park is just down the road as well.  

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 your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Miramar Beach. Enjoy features like a gym, a water park and 1 hot tub. The holiday home offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

Great, roomy stay with awesome location
Great stay overall. Everything was great, though a couple of small issues. The number pads were quirky, one you just punched the number and it opened, the cartiage house you had to push the checkmark. Neither was specified, just the number. Also tge main house wouldnt always lock unless you firmly closed (slammed) the door. The dishwasher didnt work but they came out very quickly and reset it. All in all, awesome stay!

Great Location
The location was great, the beach was nice, LOTS of construction going on in this subdivision, don't expect to take advantage of relaxing on patios as all you hear from 7:50 a.m. until after 5:00 p.m. is hammering. This should have been made clearer to renters - also the house needed so improvements and deep cleaning this feedback was given to mgmt company.

Great location and lots of room
We loved our stay. It was centrally located to all the fun and a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed all the space for late night family games. Only negative we have is that we weren’t warned in time to make sure to pick up toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags for our stay. They provide “starters” but it was not enough for our large group. It just seems silly and a bit petty when charging the high rate for the stay.

Family Vacation 2024
We have a family of 12. When we travel we need at least 5 different bedrooms. This house was perfect. The cottage is above the garage. It has a queen bed, full kitchen, shower and living room with sofa bed. Very comfortable. Main house: 1 bedroom on main floor. This has a bathroom and walks out to patio. King bed. 3 additional bedrooms on 2nd floor. One king size bedroom suite that has a balcony that faces front of house. Another bedroom with bunk beds. Full on bottom and twin on top. 3rd bedroom has king bed, sofa bed couch and attached bathroom. This room has a balcony. The bunk bed room uses the attached bathroom here but has separate access. 3rd floor is a game room/bar area. There are 2 balconies. Everyone had their own space. The kitchen table was perfect too. It allowed all of us to sit down together for meals. There is also a half bathroom on main floor. The ac kept up perfectly. The walk to the beach was 10 minutes. Rent the golf cart if your budget allows. There was a wagon in the garage and hair dryers in each bathroom. Our vacation was amazing. This area is beautiful and everything was close by. Thank you to the owners for sharing your home.

Destin Trip
Everyone was good for the most part. There were a few things that I wanted to point out: the trash can in the garage was already full of trash when we arrived. The guest bedroom upstairs to the left with the sofa sleeper, the bed rail fell down on the right side of the bed. The other upstairs bedroom with the garden tub, the water pressure in the shower was very low. The game room was very hot we could not utilize it. The washing machine in the carriage house did not work.Other than that everything was great. Thank you.

When Wedding plans are ruined right as soon as we got there
My very first question about about this property from our family was does the golf cart come with it. I was told yes that's the only reason I chose this house. We all had homes rented within blocks of each other. When I called to see where the golf cart was they told me it wasn't included. I reminded them to look through the first emails / messages because I was told it did. When I called them they told me I never mentioned it. That's a lie I have screen shots of it. Needless to say they charge me over 7 hundred dollars Moore. The family shows up with their carts and we literally find ourselves in a situation because our house and group doesn't have one there on top it all we didn't have that extra money. It definitely bummed us all out but we prayed about it.

This property fit our family’s needs very well. We appreciated being able to stay 4 nights rather than a mandatory 7. My only complaint was that our flight landed at 9:30 and we had no where to go until 4:00. It would have been nice to go to the pool. That day was wasted.
