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!

Cute house near the beach

We had a fantastic time! The house was just as described and in a perfect location. We paid extra to heat the pool, and although it wasn’t as warm as I hoped, it was nice enough to get to enjoy the pool in January. The proximity to the beach was the best perk. I would definitely stay here again.

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.

Nice Getaway

Property is clean. Large master bathroom is fantastic. Large pool with bathroom and refrigerator close by is a plus! No shade by the pool, Bring canopy and umbrella. Watch your step on the two level deck. One deckboard needs maintenance. Note: Two blocks to PRIVATE beach; we had to move 500 ft to public beach (too far to walk with little ones). You will be asked to leave private beach during prime time. We enjoyed the Private beach at sunset. Kitchen is too small for large family, Overall, we enjoyed our week stay here.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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,

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.
