Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants.

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, savory seafood and the full array of activities for kids of all ages and more fun to be found in Destin.

Here you will find wind surfing, snorkeling, water-skiing and parasailing offered all along the Gulf. Nearby attractions include a Big Kahuna's Waterpark, The Track Family Fun Center and an array of watersports available at Destin Harbor. Of course you'll want to savor the unique and delicious flavors of the freshest seafood available at any of Destin's more then 100 eateries!

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!

Great access to the beach for fishing/swimming. Close enough to a few restaurants to walk for dinne

The property could use a little maintenance to the out dated doors as the locks are busted and use simple bolt on locks that don’t seal like the original lock. One of the toilets didn’t flush very well but with 3 on the property we made it work. With that being said, may look at other properties around the area for similar prices for next time.

Overall satisfied

Really had no issues at all. The property is a little older, so there was some issues with the sliding doors not working. Air conditioner struggled during the day, but did well at night (not allowed to set below 70). Location to beach was excellent, especially with my teenagers.

GREAT location and customer service by Prop Mgr as we had a few issues

There were a few issues w/ this property (most of them small besides a leak in the ceiling on our last day). Locks need to be fixed upstairs as none worked. Unit was freshly painted but a lot of things weren't returned to their usual place (which we did). Location was GREAT! Beach was across the street. Pool was nice. Parking decent. While we may have had multiple issues , Real Joy Customer service was GREAT!!!! Both times they provided help as needed and were friendly and VERY understanding!

A few issues

The condo was nice but we had a few issues. The shower in the master bathroom leaked, the toilet in the half bath leaked and the dishwasher wouldn’t work. I contacted the emergency number and someone responded immediately but it still took 2 days to get the issues fixed. We had 7 girls staying there and all of us using one shower was not easy. But after everything was fixed the rest of the trip with smoothly. They also gave us a gift card for all of the trouble. Other than these issues the condo was great. I would stay here again!

Beautiful location, active construction and not so helpful management

The access to the beach was just as promised. However our overall was just okay. The property had a limited supply of items on the property. property sleeps 8, but items in the home did not support the 8 in any way. There was active construction on the property and we were advised by the contractors to not use the balconies at all as it was a safety risk. The management had not notified us of this at all. The balconies and the view is one of their selling points. We reached out to the management about the construction related noise and scaffolding but we did not hear back from them at all.

Great Location - Needs some TLC

This property has great location and easy access to the beach. The size of the unit easily accommodated 2 couples, 1 child, and one single adult. Things requiring improvement; needs a good cleaning, cabinets were sticky, unit advertised for 8 only had 6 forks, spots on furniture, towels, linens. Looked like new flooring was installed and finishing touches were not completed, dark black rot spot on ceiling 1st floor. Parking passes were missing in unit and when we inquired, we were told call here, text there we finally made our own. As a previous property owner and former customer of Real Joy we understand the turn-over and lack of workers. HOWEVER, at the current high cost of the rental, we don't think it unrealistic to expect a clean unit. Perhaps a day in between check-ins would allow for better service. We will NOT rent this unit again.

Not what it seems

If your looking just to lay your head for an outrageous price. This place is for you. To begin with there is no broom or toliet paper. Don't get me wrong I've never stayed anywhere that didn't provide this. 1 roll per bathroom and that was it for a condo that sleeps 8 and for 7 days. I think we had 3 trash bags for 7 days. And for somewhere that is on the beach I expect a broom. The fridge leaks and the upstairs bathroom. I'm pretty sure the entire floor is uneven. The stove needs to be adjusted. Almost impossible to cook on. The dishes where greasy when we got here. I've stayed at Gulf Winds here in Destin before and loved it. But I will never stay in 47 ever again. We paid entirely to much for the condo to be in such a run down place. This pics online are very deceiving.

Stay, no run away from RealJoy!

The unit itself wasn’t that bad. When we arrived, we had to move the coffee table, which literally fell apart when we lifted it. The WiFi never worked. But what was most disappointing is the complex was under construction/renovation. Workers arrived in the morning and started hammering right outside our door. Waking up to and hearing the construction all day long was not how I wanted to spend my vacation. Of course no one communicated to us beforehand to let us know there would be construction going on! The icing on the cake though was getting charged $300 for a coffee table that was broken when we arrived. When you rent there is a mandatory $59 Accidental Damage Waiver (up to $1,500). So even if we had broken it (which we didn’t) it seems the insurance should have covered it?! Yet I can’t get RealJoy to remove the $300 charge?! So this is not a vacation rental “by owner” it is a vacation rental “by a very poor management company out to take your money”. I had to give it one star because it wouldn’t let me leave zero. For the record, I have rented over 20 homes through VRBO - this is the first time I have had to leave a bad review.

Just ok.

I think our overall experience was just OK. Would I go back? No. It felt like we were in a motel. The unit itself had the loudest squeaky floors on the second floor/ stairs. If you try to put the baby to sleep they’d more than likely wake from you walking away on the creaking floorboards. The couch and rug downstairs we’re not in the best condition with it being white. Our first night we went out to get dinner and we came back to the unit with the door being wide open and a guy cleaning the sofa at 9 pm. He stated he’s there to clean the couches he was supposed to be there earlier but he could not leave when we asked if he could return at a later time. I quickly called the number to the maintenance line and finally got a live person. When I finally reached someone she didn’t know what he was there for she said it looked as if he was scheduled in error and he must’ve gotten his days mixed up? That we could get a free explore voucher and they’d call. We never received any calls about any vouchers throughout our stay. From that night our stay made us feel alittle uneasy Thinking any moment while we were out someone randomly could come in the unit when they “weren’t supposed to be there” because they had the door code. No one bothered to check in on us during or after our stay after the incident to make sure everything was going smoothly. Is it close to the beach? yes. It’s Perfect distance. That was probably the best part of the whole stay but not enough to book again. Thanks.
