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!

Very good

Fantastic vacation. The house we rented was great. Clean and perfect for the family.
The couch is completely broken and sagging, but otherwise everything was great
Our family stayed here for five nights.
The home is nice, nothing fancy but nice.
The bedding is light and the beds are ok.
I would definitely recommend bringing additional blankets as there weren’t any extra blankets to be found. The pool is in close proximity and the beach was a short drive.
We had a great vacation and the home was pleasant.

Okay, but needs updates.
Took a couple days to get the faucet handle for our shower fixed to where we could get hot water and it wouldn’t constantly leak. Firm beds, worn out/damaged furniture, older/damaged kitchen equipment, no ceiling fans in the rooms. Neat house, but needs a furniture refresh. Good location and roomy. Pool area was nice and only a couple of blocks to the beach.
We all loves the house! Bedrooms are nice and so was the kitchen and pool room is a plus. On the other hand the washer has a bad smell and has mold buildup. My husband had to double clean the grill because it seemed as if it was never cleaned. The refrigerator was not getting cold. The temps were not set right. It took the day of check in to Tuesday to get cold.

July 4th celebration
The house is very spacious and in a good location. We were able to walk to the beach. It is listed for 16 guests, however there are only 4 king size beds and a bunk bed . We were 3 families with a couple of kids each and would have to share the jig bed with the children. The bunk bed was very unsteady and only the bottom bunk was used. An air mattress was supplied and was very useful asl 13 of us would not have been comfortable.
The shower was faulty in one of the rooms. The manager was very prompt to send someone to fix it.
We are family that likes to cook and felt the kitchen was not very well equipped and the grill did not work.
I would recommend this property but not for 16 ppl and may need to bring your own supplies if you plan on cooking.
We had an excellent time at the House of Kings. The listing was just as described. Talking with RealJoy was easy and they met our needs in a timely manner. We even extended our stay by a day! Will definitely stay again!
The home was clean and spacious. We had plenty of room for our party of 9. The pool was incredible and it was nice to have the beach such a a short drive away!
Location is great about 7 minute walk to beach, we had a large group and there was plenty of space to not bump into everyone. Only issue I found was parking 3 slots for a house holding that many people and finding a spot in overflow parking was usually impossible!
The house is very accommodating and spacious with king beds in each room. The bunk room was perfect for a single person or children. The furniture is updated and comfortable. Property management responds quickly and acknowledges any issues which were minor. Parking is tricky since the driveways are small, but we managed to park three trucks side-by-side in the drive. The beach is a bit far to walk. I would recommend parking at the Crab Trap and renting beach setups to minimize what you need to carry. The complex is close to shopping and entertainment and is easy to navigate to the main road. Overall is it was a great stay!

Great stay, poor parking
House is great! Perfect location for the pool. The parking is not very good, especially if you have more than 2 cars. Walk to the beach is ok and the trolley is a bonus! The house had a odd smell on the third floor and was missing some kitchen utensils ( pizza cutter, spatchulas) also there is no backyard what so ever,so it was hard to play outside with 3 small kids. Overall we had a great time in destin!

Great house and location
The house was nice, clean and as pictured. Kitchen was fully equipped and we had everything we needed. The location was great. A bit far for kids and elderly to walk to the beach so we drove. Beach parking was a breeze since it was non peak season. The property manager was great too. Very responsive. Returns emails to questions within 24 hours. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the washer handle broke. It appears to have been a problem in the past since there were dings showing it may have been pried open in the past. We called the property manager hotline and they responded quickly. Probably needs replacement. But overall we would book again! Would definitely recommend! Thanks for a great family vacation!
This is our 2nd time staying in this neighborhood. It is in a great location both close to the beach and shopping.
The communication between the property manager was excellent.
The house itself needs maintenance and upgrades. There is wear & tear that is visible. However, it was sufficient for a short stay.
Unfortunately, the people who were there before us left the house in a pretty big mess so we were delayed a bit for check in. The cleaner was pretty awesome and allowed us to drop our food off while he finished cleaning. He did a great job cleaning but I think us seeing the things that were left behind by the previous renters was a little off putting. That was no fault of the owners or cleaners.
All in all, once we got settled, the property served its purpose for our weekend.

Beds where uncomfortable, and parking was horrible!!!
We were told we would have an appt in the overflow parking lot which is not true. The parking lot is forst come first serve and there is no way to know if they are guest as no one was using there parking pass. We were told by the property management employee to park in a parking lot next to the houses. He even pulled it up on Google maps to show us what lot to use. When we parked there our car was towed!! The tow company said they had told the employee two week prior to stop parking guest there or they would be towed. The property company should be responsible for our tow bill.
VERY VERY IMPRESSED. Well worth the trip. Checking and out wonderful process. Clean facility. We had a problem. Out washer went out and for 14 people that’s a problem. I reported it and that day they were there w a replacement washer. Wonderful time and very comfy stay!!!
We had a great time. Made wonderful memories! Pool was wonderful! House was great! Thank you!

We truly enjoyed our time together and the “House of Kings” was the perfect size for all of us.
Overall, the house was nice. However, cleanliness was average, furniture worn and scratched, tile floors on main level were very dirty, especially along the baseboards.
The kitchen was not well equipped with cookware; one skillet that was small, lots of plastic containers that seemed to have been left behind by guests, and lower cabinets very dirty where pots and pans were stored. In addition, the pool table and pool cues were in bad shape- no felt ends, no chalk, pockets ripped. It’s sad because we know none of this is the owner/rental company’s fault, but merely bad tenants and comes with the territory. As for the home, overall you can tell it’s a beautiful home that has unfortunately, been not well respected by some remnants. It would help to give the wood trim and doors a fresh coat of paint after a very deep cleaning of the entire home. Whoever RealJoy hits to do checkout cleanings is not doing a good job. It would also help to have instructions on how to use the TV’s. The main level had 3 remotes and it was all very confusing.
The last thing I’d like to say is how dirty the landscape and outside neighborhood was in the entire subdivision, streets, sidewalks, leaves and debris, in some cases, garbage, everywhere. Also brought the ascetics of the overall subdivision, down considerably.
All of this is with the best intentions that it’s taken constructively for the next renters to know. We spent every day at the beach down by The Crab Trap and went to Miramar beach close to pompano Joe’s. The beaches and the gorgeous water in Destin are truly stunning!! Thank you helping us make amazing memories at your place,
Sincerely,
The Suazo Family
Wonderful location and the house was awesome as well. Previous visitors complained about a foul odor, however I found the issue!!! Old seashells in a small container of beach like salt water, were sitting on one of shelves by the stairway, the water was obviously spoiled! Only complaint is the ceiling fan on the third floor's balcony is very loose. When we turned on the switch, it started shaking very bad. Very nice neighborhood and close to grocery store and shopping plaza. It is approximately a 3 mile ride to harbor walk and about 3 miles opposite direction to the outlet mall.

If your looking for the most uncomfortable mattresses that remind you of sleeping on a hardwood floor or a musty wet odor coming from the 2nd floor bedrooms, a fridge that smells of horrid fish and has seeped into the kitchen cabinets next to it and also sticky stuff on the main floor bedroom closet carpet then this is the place for you! To top it off this house has a massive infestation of termites we had to deal with in the dining room as they ate their way thru the window trim and baseboards. They were flying on our food, while the 1 year old was crawling thru them. We found some on the second floor as well. The home appeared cleaned but the floors were very dirty. There are stains on my 1 year olds pants that have not come out since washing numerous times because the floor was so dirty.
We enjoyed the vacation overall as long as it didn’t involve spending time at the house.
The area and pool are nice. The temp of the pool is great for this colder time of year and the kids had a good time. The beach walk was maybe 5-10 minutes when taking kids and beach items.
It stinks the house can sleep 16, but we had 3 cars and parking that many vehicles was a struggle as the driveway only accommodated 2, and the overflow wasn’t always available. The second air mattress also lacked extra blankets and pillows to make it usable. So plan ahead if planning to utilize that!

The property was beautiful needed some things fixed like stated in the reviews
Enjoyed property just needed some things repaired like stated in the previous reviews and playing pool on the 3rd level of the home which had a pool table had to step out on balcony to get a extra chair while opening door maintenance had a problem which didn’t understand because we were in the house otherwise I would prefer a single family home not in a resort type setting but otherwise had a nice time on a 3 hour Sunquest dinner cruise which was lovely
