"We enjoyed our stay. The place was beautiful. We had so much to do in the evenings. Playing board games and basketball. It was really wonderful to have the beach items available for use. My only small disappointment was the floors felt a little sticky. But otherwise, we would definitely come back."

"A home away from home. Beautiful home nicely decorated. Very comfy. Clean. The beds are so comfy too. Walking distance to the beach, tho we chose to drive and park locally. The kitchen is equipped with pots, pans, utensils, etc. My kids enjoyed the basketball and foosball table. Will most definitely book again and recommend."

"This is our 2nd time renting a Real Joy property this year. Both times were great. The Miramar Beach location looked just like the picture. The beach gear is very convenient. The kitchen was more than fully stocked with utensils/equipment to prepare any meal. Spacious rooms, nice outdoor seating, comfortable beds. It felt warm and welcoming. The open spaces and games promoted bonding. Location was great and we rented a golf cart to get around. One of the smoke alarms started beeping and RealJoy was quick to change the batteries. Hours after checking out, our son realized he left his small stuffed bear behind. I texted RealJoy and they contacted the house cleaners and boy and bear reunited! A great trip!"

"Really enjoyed our stay! Great space for family vacay. Everything was clean and as depicted in photos. The host was responsive and really friendly. The location was about an 8 minute walk to the beach. The wagons and beach necessities provided by the host made the trip to the beach a lot easier when accompanied by small kids. We were also only about 5-10 mins away from all the restaurants and “things to do.” Would def recommend."

"we enjoyed staying at the fun in the sun property, and definitely continue to stay again in the future. - the property itself was gorgeous and really comfortable to stay. we loved the view and how close it was to the beach. it was peaceful and had no issues checking in or checking out. stores are around the corners.
I feel that with the cleaning fee separately from the amount of each night, the cleaning can be a little more better. there was hair on the toilets and showers, and the refrigerator was a bit dirty, also taking out our own trash I can agree with that, but taking out the whole trash container outside and bringing it back in again was no fun, we had to hurry back from the beach before it was to late because unfortunately the HOA can fine the property if we leave it outside for to long. I was there to enjoy my day but felt to rushed. other than that It was spectacular."

"Spring Break Fun - We had a great time at Fun in the Sun. The management company was quick to respond to our needs. The pool was not heated so my grandkids only used it once. The beach was great and was a short walk. We appreicated the wagons and extra beach chairs and toys. Per the reviews I read, I brough extra trash bags, paper towels and toliet paper. The kitchen was otherwise well stocked. The large sectional sofa was great for our large family to hang out together on. The corner lot was perfect. I wish we could have parked more cars in the drive as we had 4 and had to find places to park the 2 away from the house. I accidently left something behind and the management company was great about helping me retrive it."

"Fun in The Sun Yippee! - We absolutely loved our stay at Fun in The Sun house and Miramar Beach. The home was spacious and clean just exactly as pictured on the website. It was easy walking distance to the gated beach and a very quiet, safe neighborhood. The owners provided plenty of dishes and cooking supplies, towels and hair dryers in every bathroom. All beds and pillows extremely comfortable! We enjoyed using the grill and back patio. The property managers were easy to get ahold of and answers all of our questions! We will definitely stay here again."

"If you are looking for a comfortable home w/plenty of indoor and outdoor space this is a great rental! Perfect for two families to share. The walk to the beach and local shops is short. Plenty of beach chairs, wagons and umbrella stocked in the garage. Rental comes w/ 2 private beach accesses and the community is gated. The backyard is also fenced in to allow for safe play for youngsters. If you prefer to skip eating out a lot the kitchen is well stocked, providing everything at home meal prep would require."

"Great location - Our stay was great! Our family took a vacation during fall break. It rained all but one day but in true Florida fashion it cleared off every day but one. The beds were comfy and plenty of linens were provided. The staff was very helpful if something came up that we had a question about. Note that the home does not have a mailbox so Amazon deliveries will go to a locked mailbox that we did not have access to. You might bring hand towels for the kitchen too as there was only one. Otherwise our stay was really great. Would rent again."

"Amazing location! - The location was as advertised. It was a short five or so minute walk to the beach. The private beach was awesome. The home is beautiful and well taken care of. The only issue is they should consider a new cleaning staff. But, that comment does in no way take away from the home itself. Everything we needed was pretty much provided. My entire family will choose to stay here again! Five star home without a doubt."

"Beautiful house, - The house was beautiful! Loved all of the rooms, very spacious. And the backyard is just enough space for the littles to play. We did have a hiccup upon arrival. Getting into the portal for this rental company was a little difficult, but upon arrival we found two of the showers nasty! There was used soap and a hairball in one, and mold in another. We called the company and they sent someone out within an hour to clean.
The house did not come with ANY extras in the kitchen. So you have to bring/buy everything, salt/pepper, dish soap, toilet paper, paper towels, foil, plastic wrap, etc. All of those things add up really quickly!
Its about 1/3 mile walk to the beach, seems easy, but when you get all your chairs, umbrellas, food/snacks, drinks, it is a long walk! But the house is stocked full with beach chairs, wagons and sand toys! This was a nice bonus!
We would definitely stay here again."

"Fantastic beach home - The home was very clean, spacious and had everything you could need while on vacation. There were plenty of bath towels and linens for our 7 day stay. My family loved playing corn hole and using the extras the home provided in the garage. The pool is a short walk down the street. The beach entrance is a little farther by foot but my whole family was able to do the walk, even my 70 year old parents. Keep in mind the beach access are steps only so pack light as you will have to carry everything down the steps. I loved the private beach area which was awesome since we were avoiding large crowds due to COVID. The property management was very helpful and replaced the grill propane tank quickly once I notified them it was empty. We definitely will be back!"

"Everything was wonderful, a couple of things though.
The kitchen was wonderfully stocked. We loved that it had so many other utensils and useful items cooking tools and kitchen necessities.
We loved how each bedroom had very comfy beds and walk in closets which were big enough for pack and plays. It was great that the house came with a pack in play as well and high chair. This is a family friendly house. Also it was great that each bedroom had a tv in it. Also that the tv’s had cable and had a Netflix account open on each tv.
We also loved that the garage was well stocked with beach chairs and sand toys.
If we come back to Destin we will want to stay here again."

"This was our first visit out to Florida and we all agreed that The Fun-In-The-Sun House was a superbly appointed vacation home! It was very clean and very comfortable for our family of 7, including a 4 year old. We loved that each of the 3 upstairs bedrooms had their own bathroom and the main floor bedroom had a bathroom just across the hall, which was very convenient. And all but the kid's room had a flat screen television. The plethora of beach equipment was far beyond expectations and it was a very easy 7 minute walk to the Miami Street Beach Entrance to Miramar Beach, as advertised. The kitchen was beautiful and very well stocked. We especially enjoyed the belgium waffle maker. We also loved the close proximity to Harborwalk Village, Destin Commons, Silver Sands Premium Outlets, Baytowne Wharf, and tons of fabulous restaurants! We will definitely be back!"

"I really enjoyed staying at this house with my family. It was spacious enough that we didn’t feel like we were on top of one another. The beach access is really close—the walk is only 5-7 minutes. It was helpful that the house has a wagon and beach chairs that guests can use. You’ll need to bring your own canopy style tent. There was a small half moon tent for 2 people at the house. Check in was simple with a code texted an hour before check in. I would definitely stay at this property again. In fact I’ve already recommended it to someone. The only minor thing that I did not care for is the multiple soft sell texts about looking/buying local properties."
