You can make the walk on foot or hop on the free seasonal trolley service (Memorial Day through Labor Day) they will even pick you up at the house and drop you off right at the beach! The pool area at Villages of Crystal Beach is a vacation must! The lagoon style zero entry pool is 30,000 square feet of gorgeous, sparkling clear water. There is a spa, tropical landscaping, and plenty of seating areas. It also has surround sound, a flat screen TV, and a grilling area to help you relax and unwind.

Please note that there are parking restrictions within the Villages of Crystal Beach. There are two parking spaces available in the driveway of the home. Trailers, RV's, boats, golf carts, and motorcycles are not allowed within the community gates; alternate parking arrangements will need to be made for these items.

Area Attractions: 

There are wonderful shops and restaurants close by and great attractions such as golf courses, Big Kahuna's Water and Adventure Park, boating, fishing, and water-sports!

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!

Easy check in and check out. A pretty far walk to the public beach. It is advertised as a 9 minute walk but that is to a private beach. The beach shuttle is great but only runs 10-12 and 1-5.

Great house

The house was perfect for our group of 13. Parking was an issue but other than that everything was fantastic. We usually cook most of our meals at home and this was the best stocked kitchen I’ve ever encountered in a rental.

Loved it!!!

The house is large enough for my family of 11. Only a short walk from Crystals Beach (15 minutes or so) or take advantage of the shuttle service and you’re there in no time . Kitchen is well stocked and the kids loved the community pool. All in all a great property!!

The house was very spacious and could accommodate our large group of 12. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes. However, upon arrival, we noticed that the floors were a bit dirty. We did see a few pat here and there but overall we had a good stay and would stay again

Nice and spacious

The house was very spacious and more than enough room for 8 adults. The temperature on the 2nd floor was a little warm, cause it would not let you change the temp below 70 degrees. Other than that very nice house.

Amazing Customer Service

The Customer Service from Real Joy was exceptional. We had a snafu regarding the AC Unit and the team was amazing scheduling a maintenance person repair it prior to them closing. She called me every half hour to make sure we were okay and reassure the arrival of the tech. I am sold on their service and will always rent via of Real Joy. The home was also great and the location was amazing.

This was a nice property in a good location. Not close to the beach but they do have a shuttle. The only complaint we had was there were no cleaning supplies or trash bags. When I say no supplies I mean Laundry detergent and Dish washing liquid and trash bags not house cleaning products. Overall the house was in good shape and served us very well and we had 9 people. I would rent here again for sure. The pool was great and everyone there was super friendly.

It wasn’t GREAT but not bad at all!

The pictures made the property look a lot bigger than it actually was, but overall the accommodations were ok. The water never got cold although we had 15 people taking baths and showers so that was a plus! The WiFi sucked!!!!! That wasn’t good for teenagers but again it didn’t kill the trip. There were not nearly enough wash towels but being we were able to launder the towels that were available, it was ok. Also, they charge a cleaning fee but leave notes saying u have to clean it so not sure what the cleaning fee is for.....

House needs updated and accessible

Property needs to be updated and a handicapped accessible bathroom on the first floor. The bathroom on the first floor should have a walk in shower instead of a high tub and shower unit. Elderly person’s cannot get into the unit to take a shower. Also, they cannot walk up to the second floor to access the walk in shower. The home needs to have carpet steamed cleaned or removed! Downstairs furniture needs replaced preferably with a stain resistant material (leather). Property pool area was very nice but the beach is a little far.

Great home, great location

Home was beautiful but there were plumbing issues causing first floor bathroom sink and second floor guest bathtub to drain slow. Third floor master bed had been urinated on and sheets were not washed. Second floor master shower also smelled of urine and had to be cleaned prior to use. Floors were sandy upon arrival and all the blinds were covered with dust. Called maintenance out for slow drains and were told to expect repairs to be made the following day but no one ever came back. The home is beautiful and spacious and if it were not for the cleaning and plumbing issues I would give it 5 stars.

Underwhelming

The location of the property was nice; however, the reviews and pictures were VERY misleading. All the furniture is very dated and some covered and the coverings dirty. The floors were filthy and the carpets appeared to have NEVER been cleaned. The amenities suggest a kids play ground and a lazy river. None of these existed. The ice maker/water on the refrigerator didn't work. The refrigerator wasn't cold at all. When I called to report it I was questioned if it was full. I sent a picture showing a barely full refrigerator which shouldn't have been a question. They sent someone the next day to look at it. The washing machine made such horrible shaking noises that we thought it was going to explode. This was my 17th year coming to this area and I will not book this residence again. Very misleading the entire resort could do well with upgrades on the entire property.
