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!

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!

Crystal Cottage
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!

Crystal Cottage Honeymoon!
Property was great! Plenty of linens, towels and most of all pillows as we all know how it it traveling and finding that right pillow. Everything was easy to find. Beach is just down the road and access to all the attractions was easy. Thank you for a great relaxing honeymoon week!

Great home close to beach. Dishwasher needs service, water was in it and a foul odor. Three bathrooms were a plus and pool was great! Carpets and tile floor could use a deep cleaning. Very nice stay and my family would certainly return to this property!

We enjoyed our stay at Crystal Cottage. Perfect location with close proximity to everything! Real joy was easy to work with. I will definitely revisit. The only downside is the headboard in one of the rooms needs to be tightened but no biggie.

Cute House, Great Location
House was cute and comfortable. The furnishings are worn and need updating. Because of that they didn't feel "clean" or "fresh". The pool was great. If a bit more updated, we would make this our go to rental.

Property was in a good location, just A 5 -10 min walk to the beach. Gaving the pool in the backyard was awesome. Kids loved it. The road the house was on was a major access to to the beach. Alot of traffic in front of the house. Other than that great stay.

Nice house! Great location to beach
The house is nice enough but had a bit more wear on it than I expected. There were several areas that needed paint touch ups. The pool is definitely smaller than it appears in pictures. The walk to the beach was very convenient. A beach wagon or something of that sort would have been a nice touch.

Fun Place for a Family Vacation
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!

Great location!
This house was so close to the beach and was such an easy walk. I will say that my foot was seriously bruised from the dishwasher. It fell right on it and I hope this gets fixed sooner rather than later. Other than that, things were great.

The house was absolutely perfect! Plenty of space, a lovely pool and great size on the backyard! The walking distance to the beachwas spectacular! My only complaint would be watch out for the dishwasher. My foot accidentally got slammed by the door. The door doesn't stop going down when you open it so watch your feet!
