Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa

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!

Amazing Resort
I absolutely love the beach view. Access to everything was very easy. I'll definitely be back and I recommend this resort to anyone who's looking to have an amazing time. This amazing and awesome trip was for my birthday and I had an incredible time here. The only thing that I didn't like was that the bathroom shower by the entrance door didn't work and I did report it because I didn't want the company to think that I did it and it was already like that when I arrived.

Very relaxing, clean and short walk to beach. Definitely will be back.
Very clean and a great location. It was stocked with all things necessary to just relax. Would drive the extra 5 minutes to Walmart for all your personal needs though. Pool area was well kept. We will definitely be back. If you can’t do a lot of steps or have small children or beach wagons I would suggest crossing street from lobby and using their beach entrance. My opinion it would be a lot easier but with saying that, their pier to beach is very nice.

This is a GREAT location in Miramar Beach.
Things we enjoyed: 3rd floor unit was great. Kitchen is well-equipped. Very clean unit with nice showers and upgrades. Washer and dryer in unit. Plenty of space for our family of 4. Loved the sky bridge to beach, the tiki bar next to the beach was awesome for sitting in the shade with a tropical cocktail and looking at the ocean. Having the 2 chair service with an umbrella included was great, the sun is intense. Great proximity to restaurants and shopping. Overall, we really liked it!
Considerations: only 2 dishwasher tablets were provided, bring more if you need them. Bring a blanket if you are cold-natured like me, there were no extra blankets in the unit.

Very nice condo! Decorated very cute and beachy.
The condo was great and beds were comfy! The overall complex is older and could use some updates but it was good. Easy walk across the street or walkway to beach. The sand and water are beautiful!! But lots and lots of people on the beach. Baytown Wharf in Miramar is a very close drive and super cute! Worth going to and watching fireworks on Wednesday nights. Lots of traffic driving to Destin or Seaside but are cute areas.

Prior to booking this reservation the reviews were not good, but in spite of that we booked so glad we did The Condo was absolutely amazing to locations of beach just steps away, stores, food etc. Also the Condo was clean updated and bathrooms was great looked luxury. We loved patio with views of gulf. Loved having 2 loungers & umbrella at the beach. Also appreciated being able to cook in with fully functional kitchen. Then having Access to washer and dryer in the unit made it possible not to travel home with sand filled clothes & towels. I will DEFINITELY be booking again in the future. Restaurant on site served subpar food for price we paid, never again. Overall the stay was awesome. Last thing, the last night we went to The Track amusement park (6 miles away) it was great for entire family. Real joy allowed early check in , all information sent timely. Every time i called their response was immediate. THANK YOU VRBO/REAL-JOY for making our vacation the best!! The Wilsons & Johnsons

Rental company
The only problem we had was on our last day, evening time someone knocked on the door, then knew the door code and walked in. Didn’t say who he was or what he wanted, just said oh I’m sorry didn’t know someone staying here. We contacted the rental company and said it was one of their own. Just find it worrisome that someone just came on in, and from a rental company who should have known someone was staying there.

Lisa, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your vacation rental experience while staying in Surfside Resort 309. We are happy to know that you had an overall good stay in this two-bed/two-bath condo and we are thankful for your five-star review. We would like to truly apologize for the incident which occurred on your last day. Yes, one of our inspectors showed up unannounced. He did knock and let himself in via the door code to drop something off, a day early. This was truly our mistake. We are running new software and are making adjustments. Unfortunately this detail was overlooked. We always notify guests if we need access to a unit while they are renting. The only exception would be during an emergency, which we would still ensure the guest is kept in the loop. Thank you for your patience and for choosing Real Joy.

The apt is cute and well equipped. The beds are comfortable but note that the master bedroom is VERY BRIGHT, so bring you eyes cover otherwise you will be waking up everyday at sunrise. The building is right accross the beach, but it is very old. There is a serious issue with the elevators, there was aways a line of people waiting for one. The biggest issue that we faced when at the public areas of the building (and this is not RealJoy’s fault) is that NO ONE IS WEARING A MASK. Overall good property.
