Ariel Dunes offers 24 stories of amazing views that span the sugar white sands and emerald green water of the coastline. The building is angled slightly to the west, and the sunsets are incredible!

Seascape Resort encompasses over 3 hundred acres of lush greens, serene lakes and 2000 feet of pristine white sand beach. Soak in the views of the gulf without all the traffic noise. Ariel Dunes I is set back into the resort, and is a quieter alternative, giving you a break from seasonal traffic noise but close enough for you to drink in the sights and sounds of Destin's famous beaches. Take a relaxing stroll to the beach and feel your cares melt away!
Ariel Dunes I offers a state of the art fitness center, along with a 12,000sf pool featuring a zero entry, with a spacious deck for lounging and catching some rays before hitting the beach. Kids will love splashing around in the mushroom fountain!
The spectacular resort amenities include 2000 linear feet of easily accessible beach with chair and umbrella rentals, on-site golf, on-site pools (two are seasonally heated), tennis, watersport rentals, bike rentals and several restaurants, including the famous Whales' Tail, which features live bands.
Check out Seascape Towne Center located within the Seascape Resort! Featuring shopping, dining, and entertainment, this is a 55,000sf lakeside development designed for the whole family. Your kids will love the outdoor adventure park including a ropes course, you’ll love the unique dining, nightlife and live music venues. With the large events plaza and arcade with laser tag, there’s really no need to step off the resort once you arrive!
Area Attractions:
Ariel Dunes is located close to the Silver Sands Factory Outlet, the nation’s large designer factory outlet featuring more than 100 name brand designer stores. Also close by is the Destin Commons with incredible eateries, upscale shopping, a park with pop-up fountains at its center, and favorites like Bass Pro Shops and Hard Rock Cafe.
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!

2nd time staying here and every time we have a great time. Its family friendly, great location, and walking distance to beach. Kiddie pool was a hit with our 6 year old son and teenage niece. We will be back next year!
Patricia, Thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad to hear that the property was well suited for your group of seven. We hope you’ll join us again soon! Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
I stayed at this accommodation with my husband and three kids and we really enjoyed it. Beautiful views from the balcony, spacious rooms & bathrooms, comfortable beds and a nice kitchen. My kids raved about how nice it was and they loved having breakfast out on the balcony.
The Ariel Dunes property is dated, but up-kept very well. The pools were nice and we loved being so close to the beach. Literally a 5 minute walk.
My one and only gripe is that the water randomly went out for about an hour on the third day, but I don’t think that would keep me from re-booking in the future. We definitely plan on vacationing in Destin again and will look for this exact booking.

Brianna, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your vacation. We're glad to hear you and your family enjoyed the beautiful views and amenities. We hope you will join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
From the moment we arrived (before, really), we had everything we needed for a smooth experience. Door codes provide for a keyless experience that’s a win for all. Parking is ample and the residents are all very pleasant.
Access to the beach is literally a block away and the walk is all via sidewalk with extra consideration for pedestrian traffic. The beach is beautiful and I love that the condo affords a view of the beach condition flag so you know at any time whether you will be allowed in the water or not (for safety).
The pools at the condo are great and readily accessible.
We had a blast and the value was definitely there for our group of 4!
We loved this condo! The view of the beach was so pretty. It was nicely decorated & the perfect amount of room for our group of 7. We also loved the Miramar Beach area! Would definitely come back. ☺️
Overall, it was an unpleasant experience. Poor Management.
When we arrived after a long car ride, the unit had not been cleaned at all (it was well after check in time). We were asked to leave until 10:00 pm, and were told to have dinner somewhere and we were told we would be reimbursed. We loaded our luggage back into the car. It was late but we found somewhere to eat. The dinner bill was $296.75, which is very reasonable for that area. We submitted the receipt, and were just informed via a follow-up call we made that they were reimbursing us for only $100. We told them only the full amount would be acceptable. When we returned to the unit at 10:00 pm, it had been cleaned just ok. And there was a note that the dishwasher was broken. We called them about the dishwasher, and they sent someone to try to fix it on the evening before we were leaving. They needed a part or something so we told them to just fix it after we left. Overall, the unit was just ok. The bedding was below average, and the bunkbeds were in a closet. There were lots of little things that need improvement too, like putting a usable closet in the master bedroom (the master bedroom closet was locked for the owner's use only), providing luggage racks, upgrading the bathrooms and kitchen, etc. The location was awesome though.
Cozy accommodations, has everything you might need. W/d in unit. Beautiful views, comfy bed and lots of space! Great location, close to everything. Beach straight ahead!
Our family (2 active seniors, 2 30-somethings, and a five year old) just spent five days here. The location was perfect, the condo roomy and comfortable and the views incredible! We’ll definitely be back!
The condo felt like home. It was comfy and decorated so nicely. The view from the balcony was perfect. We definitely want to return in the future.
