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 a number of 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!

"Family Vacation - The place was beautiful and clean, great location. However, on the VRBO app and the Real Joy the listing stated we would have the garage and when we got there, there was a sign on the garage saying "Owner use only". We specifically picked this place because we wanted to garage our vehicle. And I messaged the poperty manager, they said sorry for the inconvenience. Did not ruin out trip however it is very misleading when on 2 websites, "garage", is listed as an amenity."
