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.

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.
Great space for our family, our sons are married and with kids, so everyone always wants the king bed. This vacation home had 3, which is why we booked it. We had an awesome vacation, the home was lovely. We have visited this community in previous years, its a great place!
Overall the property was great. The pool/Hot tub were exactly as described and the property location is perfect for whatever activities you want todo. The house is definitely showing some wear and tear from visitors.
This was our first big family trip and A-Wave-Away was the perfect home for our stay. We had 14 of us and there was plenty of room for everyone. This home had everything we needed and more. Just steps from a big beautiful pool that the kids loved more than the beach! Communication with the property manager was quick and wonderful. We so enjoyed our time here. We hope to be back again someday.
The property was just as described. House was clean, beds were comfortable, location was great with stores, restaurants, beaches, outlet mall less then 15 mins away. Would stay at this location again.

The location was great! The furniture really needs to be replaced and after each visit it needs to be cleaned better
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.
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
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.
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.
