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!

The overall stay was great. It is a large but compact house.. Attended to what we needed. It was a short stay and we didn’t get too much great weather, so we were mainly indoors. I do however wish we had been told sooner we were able to access the beach by the closest gate.- Posted: 9/4/2023
Paulla, We're glad to hear that you had a great overall stay at our property. We appreciate your feedback and will make sure to improve our communication regarding beach access in the future. Thank you for choosing RealJoy, and we hope to host you again soon!Real Joy staff

Best family vacation
Loved everything about this property & management. My elderly parents came from Canada & we wanted a comfortable yet impressive stay. The property had a main floor bedroom which was perfect. There was lots of things to do indoor & outdoor. Everything we needed was provided & my mother enjoyed cooking for us in the kitchen. Management company was very receptive when we reached out. The location was perfection. A few steps from The beach, coffee shop, Dairy Queen & restaurant. Highly recommend this property.- Posted: 5/31/2023
Mona, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your rental experience.

If you’re looking for a home away from home, we would highly recommend you stay at Neptune’s Nook! Our multi family group agreed that this was one of the nicest stays we’ve experienced. We enjoyed having multiple things in walking distance- including a winery next door, ice cream, coffee shop, and souvenir shops! You can see the beach from the balconies, and the private beach access is right across the street from the property. The bikes were great to have and we enjoyed having the heated pool (it was additional $$) due to the colder temps in the area during our stay. The kitchen was equipped with good quality pots and pans, utensils, and dishes for cooking at home. We reached out in regards to bike and gate codes and RealJoy was very responsive to all communications! We would 100% stay here again!!- Posted: 12/31/2022
Nichole, Thank you for the 5-star review. We are thrilled to hear that this was one of the nicest stays you've experienced. We're glad the location was convenient and you enjoyed the bikes. We appreciate the nod to our responsive staff and we look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.Real Joy staff

So beach convenient
This is a lovely, clean, beach house. It is on a busy corner but because of a wall of shrubs around the front you have privacy for the pool and sitting area outside. And the beach access is great! Just walk across the road and there you are at the private gate to the beach. Traffic was good about letting pedestrians cross too. The sand was very clean and white. And the water was the cleanest I’ve ever been in at the beach. Could see clear to the bottom! Having a couple of chairs and umbrella set up for us and waiting was a plus but know this, if you go after 3pm, you may not have a chairs and umbrella because they start taking them up by 3pm everyday. So if your going later in the afternoon you may want to put a bag or something in the chairs letting them know that you’ll be back. The house had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for us. There are a lot of stairs since it’s 3 stories so keep that in mind. We enjoyed everything and will return!- Posted: 10/27/2022
Sherry, Thank you for the 5-star review. We’re glad everyone had plenty of room and enjoyed some time on our beautiful beaches. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.Real Joy staff

Great place near the beach!
This property is very clean and walking distance to the beach. Kids love jumping in the pool after a day at the beach. It came with 4 bikes, which we did not used. Overall great location! Great place to spend time with friends and family!- Posted: 6/22/2021

Neptune nook
The only issue we had was that we played for the pool to be heated and it never worked. They did refund our money on that though.- Posted: 12/3/2020

Perfect Getaway!
We came down for 4 nights with our kids (20 & 15) and they each brought a friend. The house was a perfect size to fit all of us comfortably. The walk to the beach was less than a minute and we really enjoyed our beach chair rentals everyday! Really appreciated the outdoor shower in front of the house. We’ve always stayed at condos prior to this trip and I don’t think we’ll ever go back.- Posted: 10/26/2020
Marybeth, we are so glad that your group enjoyed staying at Neptune’s Nook, finding it to be spacious, comfortable, and convenient to have the beach chair rentals and outdoor shower. Thank you for choosing Real Joy. Please visit again soon.Real Joy staff

Perfect vacation house
My husband wanted to take a last minute trip so I was nervous about finding a place & this house exceeded our expectations. Literally a 2 minute walk to the beach, amazing location. Loved having the beach chairs on the beach. We had 5 adults and 4 kids and everyone was comfortable and a place for everyone to sleep. Full showers in every bathroom which i loved. We already want to book this house for next year!- Posted: 8/23/2020
