Ariel Dunes offers 24 stories of amazing views that span the sugar white sands and emerald green water of the coastline. The building is angled slightly to the west, and the sunsets are incredible! From the rear of the building, you get a bird's eye view of the lush Seascape Golf Course, and the sparkling Choctawhatchee Bay.
Seascape Resort encompasses over 3 hundred acres of lush greens, serene lakes and 2000 feet of pristine white sand beach. Soak in the views of the gulf without all the traffic noise. Ariel Dunes I is set back into the resort, and is a quieter alternative, giving you a break from seasonal traffic noise but close enough for you to drink in the sights and sounds of Destin's famous beaches. Take a relaxing stroll to the beach and feel your cares melt away!
Ariel Dunes I offers a state of the art fitness center, along with a 12,000sf pool featuring a zero entry, with a spacious deck for lounging and catching some rays before hitting the beach. Kids will love splashing around in the mushroom fountain!
The spectacular resort amenities include 2000 linear feet of easily accessible beach with chair and umbrella rentals, on-site golf, on-site pools (two are seasonally heated), tennis, watersport rentals, bike rentals and several restaurants, including the famous Whales' Tail, which features live bands.
Check out Seascape Towne Center located within the Seascape Resort! Featuring shopping, dining, and entertainment, this is a 55,000sf lakeside development designed for the whole family. Your kids will love the outdoor adventure park including a ropes course, you’ll love the unique dining, nightlife and live music venues. With the large events plaza and arcade with laser tag, there’s really no need to step off the resort once you arrive!
Area Attractions:
Ariel Dunes is located close to the Silver Sands Factory Outlet, the nation’s large designer factory outlet featuring more than 100 name brand designer stores. Also close by is the Destin Commons with incredible eateries, upscale shopping, a park with pop up fountains at its center, and favorites like Bass Pro Shops and Hard Rock Cafe.
Grand Boulevard Town Center is a pedestrian-friendly, shopping and dining complex just off Emerald Coast Parkway, convenient to both SanDestin and Miramar Beach. For the high-end shopper, the center offers everything from Fusion Art Glass Gallery to Brooks Brothers Country Club. A number of boutiques, such as Hello, Sunshine and Magnolia House, carry fare you can't find anywhere else. Dining options include Mitchell's Fish Market, P. F. Chang's China Bistro, and Cantina Laredo Gourmet Mexican Food. In 2013, Walton County’s first movie theater opened at Grand Boulevard’s Town Center – the state-of-the-art Boulevard 10 Movie Theater.
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!

Everything about this property was true as listed. It was clean, safe, and a close walk to the beach. We had a blast and will look to book it again next year. The only suggestion I have for improvement is at least one more dish towel for the kitchen so one could always be clean while the other washes.

The view from the balcony was great, easy walk to beach. The Unit was clean and had plenty of towels . The only negative for me was no tables or umbrellas at the pools

Juliana, we are happy to know that you thought the two-bedroom, two-bathroom Ariel Dunes I 1307 was good and the view wonderful. We apologize for any discomfort that you experienced during your stay. As we all know, beds are subjective from one person to the next. Some people like soft pillow-y mattresses and some like them to be more firm. The current bed in the master bedroom is a newer mattress with a memory foam cover on it. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.
Everything was good but I made sure I clean up everything while I was there and I wash my sheet in my room but not the other room All the towels was.clean before we left and there was no trash to pick up and nothing left in the refrigerator at all ..
We could not have been more pleased! Just wish we had more time. We hope to be back soon! The location was great!

Hi! We appreciate you letting us know that you could not have been more pleased with this well-located two-bed/two-bath Gulf-view condo. Thank you for choosing Real Joy. Please visit again soon.
We loved our stay here. The property was clean, beds were very comfortable, the view is amazing, easy access to the beach. It wasn’t quite as well stocked as other vacation rentals I’ve stayed in… for instance there was no laundry detergent, no cooking basics like salt/pepper or cooking spray, no coffee or coffee filters, etc, although there were plenty of appliances and cooking tools. So that would be my only suggestion, but overall we would gladly stay here again!
The location was beautiful! The condo was very nice also. The only negatives I have are the floors were not clean (our feet were actually black from walking on them), the tennis courts pictured in the advertisement were not the tennis courts we could use ( they were located about 1/2 mile up the road) and the sleeper sofas were dirty and unable to even sleep on due to no cushion and just feeling the springs. The beach was absolutely beautiful and easy to get to with just a short walk. Nice environment and close to a lot of stores and shopping. This is a very busy area but everyone seemed to be very nice!

Mendy, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your vacation rental experience while staying in Ariel Dunes I 1307, a very nice two-bed, two-bath condo in Seascape Resort. We are happy to know that you thought the location of this property is beautiful and easily accessible to the beautiful beach and plenty of dining and shopping options. Please accept our apology for the cleanliness of the floor and the uncomfortable sleeper sofa. The sleeper sofa is scheduled to be replaced in mid-September. We would have been more than happy to send someone to reclean the floor had we been made aware during your stay. The owners will be having a full tile and grout deep cleaning done along with sealing done by a professional steam cleaning company. We apologize for any inconvenience regarding the location of the tennis courts. Thank you for your patience and for choosing Real Joy.
We have stayed at the Aerial Dunes before. The location, cleanliness and overall appeal of this condo is top notch. We will definitely stay at the Aerial Dunes again.
