Area Attractions:
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 a number of boutiques and dining options.
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!

We had a nice stay. We brought motorcycles. Found out later the hoa doesn't like trailers. Thankfully ours were foldup and easy to hide. It also seemed we were the only ones with motorcycles. On another note, the mattress upstairs is very firm/hard. This is a preference issue so if you are looking for medium to soft, bring a mattress topper.That out of the way, we very much enjoyed our stay. We were close to the beach and pool. The house is beautiful and the neighbors are great.

Thank you for the 5-star review! Glad you enjoyed the beach and pool access and that the house and neighbors met your expectations. Sorry about the HOA’s trailer restrictions — we’ll update our guest info to clarify parking rules. Thanks also for the note about the firm upstairs mattress; we’ll look into softer bedding or adding a topper, and bringing one can help in the meantime. Hope to welcome you back to RealJoy Vacations.
My family really enjoyed staying here!!! We will definitely return! :)

Susan, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience with us. We hope you'll join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Great space all the way around, good location, clean. A grill would’ve been nice. It’s too bad you can bring shade tents on the beach or at least mention it in the listing. Twin bed mattress’s could be better.
Had 9 wonderful weeks in this beautiful house! The porch is amazing! Neighborhood is nice & quiet. Nice perk to use fitness center, heated pool & spa. Seven minute walk to the beautiful private beach. Shout out to Realjoy, everyone we interacted with were polite, helpful & cared about making sure your stay was 5 star, awesome mgmt company!

Lili, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're delighted to hear that you found the house clean and beautiful and that your family had a wonderful vacation! We look forward to your next visit. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Overall a good place to stay when in Destin on vacation. Very spacious place and ideal for families with kids. As advertised, short walk to the beach and pool. Opportunity areas:- Make sure walkthrough is done prior to renters first day. There was paint chipped from a column in the dining area and on the floor. - Repair to screen door closer was done with superglue. Mounting plate came undone and broke off did not work.
The house is much more spacious than it appears in the photographs, we were pleasantly surprised. Anything we needed to cook with was available. The upstairs bed was broke so we slept with our head toward our feet, it was no big deal, I hate calling maintenance when on vacation so we just let it be.

Andrea, thank you for your amazing feedback! We’re happy to hear that you found the house more spacious than expected and that you had everything you needed in the kitchen. We apologize for the inconvenience with the upstairs bed and please know we would be happy to come out and get that fixed anytime. We hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay. Thank you for choosing RealJoy!
This was a beautiful and comfortable home! We really enjoyed our stay. We loved all of the beach items that were available to us. Everyone had space and was comfortable. Wi-Fi was easily accessible as well as streaming services. We needed more trash bags, paper towels, and toilet paper for eight people. Basic stocked items in the kitchen would have been nice, like cooking oil, spices, sugar, aluminum foil, baggies, etc. We got there on Sunday and the trash bin was completely full from the prior guests. We took the trash to the curb for Monday pick up. The walk to the beach and pools was a little further than advertised, but wasn’t too bad. We would book here again in the future.
Our family are happy with the location and the house in general. We love the screened porch so much that we hang out there most of the time to enjoy the nice breeze.
The only complain is that the dishwasher was broken and out of use for half of our vacation time. The people manage the house were passive in terms of communication. I kept asking them to update the status. We understand the owners needed time to get replacement but no one seems has compassion for renters. We paid full price to rent this place, if you have a problem, you should provide alternative ways for renters rather than let renters to deal with it.

Hanh, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad that the location worked well for you and that you loved the screened in porch. We are sorry that the dishwasher broke during your stay. Our records indicate that once the issue was reported, maintenance came out and determined that the dishwasher needed to be replaced. A new one was approved, purchased and installed in 3 days time. We think that is pretty fast! We hope you enjoyed some time on our beautiful beaches and had a safe trip home. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
