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!

There was some confusion between what was in the physical instruction/welcome book that was in the house vs what was online but everything was sorted out quickly. Home was amazing, RealJoy was super responsive, and everything was really clean. Walkable to the pools and beach but had plenty of places lock up our bikes to make the travel a little quicker. The community was quiet and relaxing at night and very family friendly. At night you could sit out on the front porch and listen and watch the Air Force fighter pilots getting in their night hours which was pretty cool. Note, that you couldn’t hear them from inside of the house so it never was a disturbance.

The house was as advertised. The beach is 18 min away on foot. Park your car close to the pool area and you can walk less.
Peaceful gated community. We enjoyed our stay!

The home was very beautiful felt like I was at home or family members house. Kitchen was perfect for cooking and eating on the island. Enjoyed the washers and dryers and loved the neighborhood. The only complain I have is for 3 days we had issues with the internet and tv. The cable tv kept saying to contact cox cable. On Sunday at night I had to run out to Best Buy and buy an adapter for tv to connect to iPhone. I spent around 70 bucks to get it set up so we could watch tv. On the 3rd day internet was working and tv began to work. I contacted property and they did tell me to reach back if not working they could send some out on Monday. I failed to reach out but by that time I had already bought the adapter

Christian, We're delighted to hear that you found the home beautiful and that it provided a comfortable and welcoming environment for you, feeling like a home away from home. It's great that the kitchen was well-suited for your cooking needs and that you enjoyed the convenience of the washers and dryers. We're sorry for the inconvenience you experienced with the internet and TV during your stay; technical glitches can sometimes occur, and we appreciate your patience. It's unfortunate that you had to make an additional purchase to resolve the TV issue, and we apologize for any frustration this may have caused. We're glad that the situation eventually improved, and we hope that the rest of your stay was enjoyable. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Loved our stay! This place was perfect for our family of four during the July 4th holiday week. Kids loved having the sand toys and nets in the garage for use. Lots of space for everyone. Neighborhood is quiet. Beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed to take lunch with us on the beach or cook meals. The proximity and private beach access was the best. We loved being close to good restaurants, the outlets, kid activities. Most importantly, having privacy with the gated neighborhood entry and parking access made for hassle free beach days. Can’t wait to come back!

Great clean and comfy house. Very close to the beach loved the two chairs and umbrella. Pool was 5 min walk that we loved as well.
