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 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!

Most beautiful place I’ve stayed in Destin! Beautiful views and in the heart of it all. Close to the stores, gas stations and food! I was super pleased with how they had everything you need in the kitchen, I didn’t even need to bring my handheld blender to make a cake lol the decor is amazing and it was super comfy. The only problem I had was with communication with the property at times during this pandemic. The kids absolutely fell in love. Thanks for an amazing stay!

For not being on the ocean the view was great. Convenient location. The condo was clean and spacious for 4 adults. Great balcony that connects to both the main bedroom and the family room. Some minor repairs are needed along with upgrading a few things (sent a list to the property manager) to improve this condo from good to great.

The bed sheets hadn’t been cleaned or changed. There was sand in both beds and blood in one of them. The sink had food left in it. And the trash hadn’t been taking out. Also, 2 of the 4 elevators did not work.
Great location and great view.

The property was in good shape but not clean. The main shower had black mold and the other shower had a moldy curtain. The floors were dirty. All our feet were black on the bottom on the first night. Unfortunately, there were some folks who didn't adhere to the quiet after 10pm rule as well.

First stay in Destin/Miramar
Unit 2009 was unsanitary and not well cleaned!!! When we arrived the all of floors felt damp and sandy. The master bedroom smelled damp or moldy I couldn’t really figure the odor out. All of the beds looked clean cut but after sleeping in them the first night we realized that there was sand on the sheets. Also there was mildew/mold in the walk-in showers in the master bath. There was also some drilling or some sort of repair being done either in the room above us or next door that would start around 8 am every day so if we wanted to sleep in it was impossible! I placed a call and emailed rental management regarding the mold in the shower the second day and only received reply’s requesting where the problem was and photos and the issue was not addressed until the third day of our 5 day stay. I called on the third day and was told they were waiting on photos, but why was photos and location needed when the email and voicemail stated the exact issues me location!! It was just there way of delaying the solution so there was no need to request any other services because by the time they would send someone to address the issue our stay would have been over. I also forgot to mention the air conditioner would not go below 74 degrees. There was a sign posted above the thermostat that stated to leave the temperature a no lower than 70 but we never got the temperature to 70. While on the elevator we met several guest that stated there rooms were hot and the air didn’t properly. Although this property left a bad impression for our first visit to Destin we enjoyed the area and the beach. I definitely would not recommend this property to anyone! And if you are reading this review stay clear especially from unit 2009!

Cynthia. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback regarding your stay. We apologize for the many issues you experienced during your stay. We request pictures so that when we send the cleaners back out, they know what specifically to look for. The delay was because we did not receive any pictures from you. When you did send photos, we sent someone over and what you thought was black mold was really just worn tile. It's an easy mistake to make. Had we been aware of unclean sheets we would have had the cleaner change them when they were looking at the shower. We sent an AC repairman out who reported that the unit was working perfectly. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about construction elsewhere on the property. We are truly sorry that your experience was not what you expected and we hope everything else about your stay was great.
We enjoyed our stay. Loved the beach decor throughout the condo. Spacious and comfy. Kitchen was well stocked with the basics for cooking. Beautiful view. Would definitely recommend.

Melanie, Thank you for letting us know that you enjoyed your stay. We’re glad you were comfortable and had everything you needed. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Overall it was OK. I wish they would provide coffee starters, and other condiments so you don’t have run to the store and buy those things right away. Also wish it was cleaner. It looked clean “on surface” but small random rugs scattered throughout the apartment were dirty as hell. Would recommend getting rid of them completely. Also floors need some “deep” cleaning. Even those there are tiles everywhere they need to steam clean and sanitize. As other reviewers reported your socks will be very dirty. We didn’t walk around barefoot at all. Just didn’t have that clean feel. And the coffee, tea, sugar, cream, salt and pepper - it’s a convenience request but I’m sure most would appreciate it.
The property was really clean and nicely decorated! Beautiful view, really nice and clean beach! We loved our stay and would love to stay there again some day!

The property was nice. Clean but I wish this property had a hot tub or the outdoor pools were heated. Seemed like the beds we slept in were a little itchy hoping they are not bed bugs. This was all beds in the unit.
