Area Attractions:  

Wildwood Cottage is just a few minutes' drive from all Destin has to offer, including go-kart rentals, dolphin cruises, charter fishing, parasailing, Big Kahuna's Water Park, The Track Family Fun Center, and the Silver Sands Outlet Mall.

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

Several outstanding restaurants are close by, including one of the most highly regarded in Destin, 'The 790 Cafe' located at The Inn at Crystal Beach and 'Beachwalk Cafe', rated one of Destin's best by Florida Trend Magazine.

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!

Plenty of room for our family
Liked that we could walk to the beach and restaurants. Everyone enjoyed the pool! Cleanliness could be better, floors needed a thorough mopping. There was some mold in the bathroom of the house by the pool.

Great Stay
This was a great place to stay for a couple of family’s wanting to experience the beach together. The pool is large for a private pool which is a plus. The house does need to be updated though, a couple of appliances didn’t work properly and there needs to be some type of pantry storage.

Great house and private heated pool. Short distance to beach and shopping. Was a bit disappointed in extra; like blankets, washcloths, paring knife, and too small skillet.

Good value for beautiful Destin
Wildwood Cottage was nicely located within walking distance to multiple public beaches, restaurants, and shopping. The pool and pool area are wonderful. The front porch is lovely. Both master suites were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen could use a new fridge but the dining area worked for our group of 7 for dinners and cards at night. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Family vacation
We love coming to Destin and always have great service with RealJoy and Homeaway. The property was a little unkempt and the pictures are somewhat deceiving but in all we had a fabulous time. It was very nice having the 2nd living quarters and we will continue to use RealJoy and Homeaway in the future.

Nice place to stay in.
We love the house, the location, and the second house which is very convenient and accommodating to large group of people the private pool is big plus to this vacation home. The furniture is old, outdated, hated the noisy exhaust fan in the master bath, When it rains there was a bad smell coming out from between the two houses.

Loved the pool!
We were there for a week. Pros: great pool, convenient location, beautiful beaches close by. Cons: older house that needs some TLC, most pool chairs broken, gas grill did not work, kitchen not very well equipped for cooking. We had a wonderful time in Destin but I would not rent this house again.

Good location, nice pool needs some TLC
Good location and nice pool. House needs some TLC as it’s worn looking in some areas. It also needs a good deep clean - e.g. master shower has moldy tiles/grout. Cookware leaves much to be desired and found a cockroach in the coffee maker.

Almost excellent
We enjoyed our stay, but there were a couple things that could have made it a little better. No Wi-Fi was a problem for the kids, a working pool light would have been nice and maybe upgrade of the sofas in the living area. A little more work on the front landscape would make the property look more inviting also and in the future new flooring but the stay was nice, location was great.

Wonderful! Will stay again!
Very nice and clean! Pool was clean and large. There was 10 of us and more then enough room for all of us in the pool at the same time. When we checked in the trash can outside was full. We contacted RealJoy and they were there within 15 minutes to discard the trash for us. The house has everything that we needed. 5 stars and will definitely stay again,

Nice home, location, and pool with a few quirks
Overall a nice stay. A few quirks like not enough towels or no trash bags are oversights. Biggest issue was the grill was filthy so it dangerously flamed up from all the old food and grease at the bottom. For the price we paid, I expected a little better attention to details.

Enjoyed our Stay
We really enjoyed our stay. We were 10 (2 family of 5) and everyone was well accommodated. The pool was the best of course for 3 kiddos and 2 teens it was perfect. And close walking distance to the beach. Of course it was a Hugh problem at the begging there was no network and we didn’t had wifi at the begging but someone came by and fixed it. The only problem we encountered and that is not really property related is the access to the beach we went thru the closest one and they didn’t let us stay there “private property” and had to walk further. We have stayed in this area before and had never had any problem to access the beach. But anyways would just be nice to note the correct Beach access now, at Hutchinson St and Pompano St.

Thanksgiving at the Beach
This beach house was amazing. We had 7 adults, 1 teen, a 2 yr old and 2 infants. We felt so comfortable and felt we had plenty of room. The table was long and fit all of us very well. Since we were cooking each night and Thanksgiving dinner, we brought a few baking dishes and pots and pans from home. However, the kitchen was very well stocked and we didn’t really need our things from home. The location of the house is amazing. It’s a very short walk to 2 different beach entrances. We loved walking around the neighborhood and riding the golf cart that we rented. We always felt very safe. The pool out back was heated and provided a great deal of entertainment for the kids. There are plenty of chairs around the pool for all to enjoy. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week with our family and would definitely rent this house again!
