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 several 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!

Enjoyable & Comfortable
I liked that it was 3 bedrooms on one floor- Posted: 3/5/2025

This place is great. Great house, great location. My husband and I stayed here with our 4 kids, the house and neighborhood are great for families. Very close to the beach and lots of restaurants and tourist attractions. We rented the golf cart as well, which I recommend, it’s very fun to get around town in the golf cart. We checked in on a Sunday night, and we had a question about how the golf cart works, the host answered our call on a Sunday night and was super helpful and friendly and was able to answer our questions right then, very good customer service- Posted: 3/27/2025
Gina, thank you for your wonderful 5-star review! We're glad you and your family enjoyed the house, location, and the convenience of the golf cart. It's great to hear our team was able to assist you promptly, ensuring a smooth check-in. We look forward to welcoming you back to RealJoy for another memorable family getaway!Real Joy staff

Everything was as expected- description was spot on. A beautiful location for a great family vacation. This company was great to work with, super accommodating!! We arrived a day earlier and stayed an extra day. They responded very quickly with no issues or complications to extend our stay. The only “issue” we had was connecting to the internet (no big deal but was a bonus to have with the kids). A tech was sent promptly out and was fixed in no time. Would recommend to anyone and would love to stay again using RealJoy in the future!- Posted: 8/3/2024

Arrived to exactly what the description was! Very clean, great family area. Had an issue with the internet connection (obviously not a big deal, but with kids was a bonus to have). A tech was sent promptly out, was resolved quickly. Arrived a day earlier than expected and stayed a day longer- no issues at all booking extra. This company was GREAT to work with, quick responses, super accommodating- Posted: 8/3/2024

We loved our stay; the house was spotless; however, there were problems with both showers. It needs to be maintained well. Besides those bathrooms, the house should deserve 5 stars. RealJoy customer service was the best; you guys deserve 5 stars.- Posted: 7/18/2024

We really enjoyed our stay this past week. We loved the private beach access. We drove from the house and parked at the condos which made for a short walk to the
Beach. We spent our days there and the nights just relaxing at the house. Quiet time after 10 worked out well for our family. If you’re wanting to party , this house isn’t for you. It was wonderful for the kids and myself. We’re excited to come back!!- Posted: 6/9/2024

Everything was amazing and we will return! Place is immaculate and as described! LOVED THE CHAIRS AND UMBRELLA! Pools were close and amazing. Very spacious and quiet. Beautiful appliances as well!Neighborhood was friendly, clean and quiet. Walk to beach was 5-7 minutes max! Service team was very helpful, kind, and professional. We did not rent the golf cart, but they looked new and modern so may next time! Just a few suggestions, but definitely not dealbreakers:
1. No throw blankets-not that big of a deal but would be nice for those quiet movie nights.
2. Each bed only has 1 pillow per person. Worked out ok for us because there were only 2 of us so we just took them from the other bedrooms. Would have had to go buy them though if the whole family was there. Beds were also stiff, but that is just preference.
3. There were no grill utensils and no spatula. We bought some and left them so the next person will have them!
All and all 5 stars! Can’t wait to come back!- Posted: 5/7/2024
Justine, Thank you for the 5-star review. It's fantastic to hear you had an amazing stay and appreciated the amenities and service.
