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. 

All the excitement of Destin is just minutes away: choice of watersports, 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.

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!

Beautiful vacation home!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful home that exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we booked, the property managers went above and beyond with their communication, making sure we had everything we needed for a smooth arrival. They were incredibly responsive, answering all of our questions promptly and offering helpful local recommendations. The home itself was stunning, with immaculate décor. Every room was thoughtfully designed, creating a cozy yet luxurious atmosphere. The kitchen was fully equipped. The outdoor area was a highlight, with a spacious deck and well-maintained pool, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the warmth and sunshine. Throughout our stay, the property managers checked in to ensure we were comfortable, which made us feel truly cared for. Their attention to detail and commitment to a great guest experience really set this property apart. We would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a memorable and stress-free vacation, and we can’t wait to return!

Perfect place for a girls trip

Couldn’t have better things to say about this property. The company was very responsive to all of the questions I had. There were 10 women that stayed there and we felt beyond safe in the neighborhood. The house is a few short blocks from the beach and the pool was very clean and warm when we got there. 10/10 all around. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Destin!

Jewel of Terra Cotta!

This estate is truly a Gem! Upon arrival to the Jewel of Terra Cotta we were absolutely amazed how beautiful, clean, comfortable and modern appearance of this incredible home. It looks and feels brand new! I personally love the layout of the house; very spacious open floor plan for our party of five adults. Huge beautiful 3bed/3bath all spaciously separated makes you feel like you are the only ones there. The backyard was my oasis, the pool is a real plus for this property. The luxury of taking a relaxing dip after a long fun day and evening bbq on a private deck. The location to the beautiful beach is reasonably close and love the private access to the clean beach and turquoise water! They do offer other amenities on the Enclave grounds but we didn’t use them, our party was beach struck. Vrbo & RealJoy were spot-on with their professional and courteous services; everything from checkin to checkout was smooth and seamless. Their communication and customer service was the key; we had two very minor issues onsite, I notified RealJoy and they promptly resolved the issues the very next day. They even sent me very useful information on what to do and see in Destin, a nice touch from the experienced locals. Amazing vacation getaway! I would definitely stay here again. Five Star rating from all of us! Cheers, Tim R

Very nice home. My problem was any person who is handicap would have problems. There are no safety bars in any of the 3 bathrooms. It also is a problem for any person to swim in the pool without help getting down the stairs. should have a railing.

Amazing

Loved the property, neighborhood, & location!! I think property management should include checking light bulbs, fixing furniture that’s broken, etc. the downstairs sofas appeared to be wet when we arrived, maybe notifying guests not to sit or lay on the sofas when they are wet. The gate to the backyard also fell while we were there, we never used that side gate and it rained a lot the week we were there so maybe it was just time for maintenance or replacement.

Small Private Beach

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The house could have been cleaner. If you plan to grill bring foil to grill on because the grill needs cleaned. The house does have private beach access which is nice but the unfortunate is the private beach is a very small area and is for all the Terra Cotta homes and the Enclave condos. If you want a spot on the beach close to the water you will have to take your chairs down and set them up around 5 or 6am.

It was a great place to stay for a short visit.

It was a beautiful home with great size rooms and bathrooms . The disappointing part was the property did not provide beach chairs which had to be rented when we got to beach . As well as they could supply a few more startup things like paper towels , garbage bags so those who fly in for just a short stay don’t have to go and purchase items that are essentials to cleaning up the property upon vacating it at end of stay . Otherwise it was a great property close to restaurants that you could walk to without a car .
