The Bed Setup

Area Attractions:

Just 3 miles away is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. Also for the younger guests, a nautically/pirate themed outdoor playground features a 1,750 square foot soft play area with various creatures from the sea, slides, and a treasure chest!  Destin Commons also has a mini-train for the kids. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants.

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!

Our 10 days stay was wonderful. Great condo, great location, super clean, directly across from the beach. Had a very small issue, RealJoy jumped to correct it, even when it wasn’t necessary. All around great vacation. We’ll be back!

Our stay in Just Beachy was perfect!! We have stayed at Gulfview many times and the only negative thing I can say is there’s a lock on one of the pools and MANY returning vacationers were very unhappy that the gated pool was only for one building. While we were at the pool a man and woman came and installed a camera watching the entry to the pool. That would be the only thing I would complain about our stay. The condo is so cute and would definitely book the same unit again.

Highly recommend Just Beachy
Just Beachy was perfect in every way!! Definitely would return. Only negative was one of the pools had a code for only one of buildings to use. We have stayed at Gulfview many times as many other guests staying there this trip. That was a big conversation piece and all were not happy with this new rule. In fact a woman installing a security camera to monitor the gate while we were at the pool was bothersome.

Great little get away spot
My daughter and I are both in college, and we took a long weekend to study for finals at the beach. It was a perfect location. Quick walk to the beach. The management company is amazing. Communication was great, and they responded super promptly when I notified them there was a nest of wasps under a patio chair. I didn't expect them to do anything, I just wanted to let them know for the next guests, but it was already taken care of by the time we got back from the beach. Really pleasant experience overall!

25th Anniversary perfect getaway
Great location to beach & walking distance to restaurants. Steps to beach. Clean unit! Nice TV’s in unit and AC worked great! No icemaker in freezer FYI. Definitely would stay again for just 2 people. I think 4 would be too tight unless small children. Great communication with host. AC unit on balcony is very loud.

My family of 4 really enjoyed this condo. The location to beach access is easy. The condo was stocked with useful kitchen utensils, is comfortable and inviting, is tech savvy, has a good view of the beach & street activity. Master bed and pullout couch bed are both comfortable. We were grateful for TV and dish network during down time. The only complaint is that, on VRBO, the condo is listed as having two bathrooms. It only has one.

If you’re looking for convenience and a cannot be beat location - this is it. Seriously! Just steps to the beach with your own private gated entry so the beach was less crowded than public access. The pool was very nice and clean, just outside the condo door and down the stairs. The actual condo was super clean upon arrival. Perfect for us. Always plenty of parking near our entrance. We enjoyed watching the sunrise on the balcony over looking the beach! Wonderful vacation and I will most definitely stay here again if given the chance!

We booked this location very last minute and have nothing bad to say at all. Not only did we have ocean view but pool too! The place was spotless when we got there and we tried to keep it as clean as possible. The walk to the beach is literally 2 minutes away and the shopping outlets are about 10 minutes away driving. Water sports is just a short walk away from the beach gate. We could go on and on so 10/10 recommend and we will be back.

Updated, clean, & great location!!
This unit is super nice - we've stayed in other units in the building and this one is very nicely renovated with an updated bathroom, appliances, new furniture, and updated flooring throughout. Cute decorations and had absolutely no complaints upon arrival - everything was very clean and organized. It comes with a great selection of dishwater, tupperware (with the actual matching lids), and cutlery for use. Also has great selection of pots, pans, and trays for cooking, which can sometimes be hit or miss in rental units. The location is great, you are directly across from the beach, with comfortable furniture on the balcony for you to sit out and enjoy your morning cup of coffee or afternoon cocktail. Within walking distance to many restaurants and souvenirs shops. The pool is not the best, its not heated and tucked between two buildings, but you don't go on a beach vacation to spend time at the pool anyways. Only complaint is that it would have been nice to know that the coffee maker is a Keurig and not a realgar coffee pot. They remind you to bring coffee filters, yet they should have specified to bring a reusable k-cup filter or k-cups instead. All in all, would definitely stay again and recommend it to others!
