All the excitement of Destin is just minutes away: choice of water sports, golf, amusement parks, and outlet shopping. One glimpse of Destin beaches and you're hooked. It must be the wide, white beaches and the famous emerald waters. Not to mention the fabulous fishing, the world's most beautiful beaches, addictive seafood, and the full array of activities for kids of all ages and more fun to be found in Destin.
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 the permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or another flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Charming place to stay, We took my elderly Mom brother and husband and enjoyed this place just a short walk to the beach and in a very secure neighborhood. Would stay againCarla
Overall a nice place to stay. Wife and daughter enjoyed the access to the beach. The area was a good place to rent with good accessibility.

Thank you for your review. We're happy your family enjoyed the beach access and that the location and accessibility worked well for you. We appreciate you choosing RealJoy Vacations and would love to host you again.
The location is perfect, the inside of the house is very nice, lots of space, multiple vanities, and private beach access that came in very handy and is a short walk away. My friends all weekend kept saying “good job Taylor” for booking this place.
Found multiple roaches in the loft area and the three children who slept up there (the other kids slept elsewhere) got lice. I do not think they clean that loft area at all!! We are disgusted!
The house is beautiful, very comfortable and it was super clean we had a very comfortable stay.

Spacious home and loved the short walk to the beach. Views of the ocean from bedrooms, but was unable to enjoy it from my room because the iron patio furniture out there was rusty and the door handles too. Could really use some furniture updates inside & outside. The black paint on the patio furniture off of the living room was peeling off and sticking to our arms and legs revealing the rust. Home temperature was great. Please consider air fresheners as we went and purchased some Febreeze. Otherwise, nice home.
We had a great stay! No complaints, timely responses to questions.

There are doors with the locks rusted into the door and cannot be locked.There are an upwards of 10 pot lids and only 2 fit pots. The top floor cannot be cooled beyond 85 any time after 10 am degrees, would NOT recommend that room to any infirm family members you may have. The window unit is in need of a filter change and leaving our children with some kind of cough while sleeping upstairs.The towel hook in the main bathroom is unsecured and has fallen on our children several times. There are chipped plates that need to be either replaced or tossed. Short of many of these complications, the house is conveniently located and close to the beach. And the community bar pours heavy. Which was much appreciated after the grievances from this trip.l think the beach chairs and umbrellas should be a complimentary with the rental as the other condos. It’s a false advertisement about the bed room. You cannot count the closet inside the master bedroom as one bedroom. Very disappointed on the room advertising. Again, would be nice if the chair and umbrellas covered with the price . Too high for what has to offer.
The house was just what we needed for a quick trip to the beach with young kids. Close enough to the beach that it was an easy walk, and our section of beach wasn't overly crowded. The house itself was spacious and clean.

Check in was super easy, we did have a few issues with AC and Water heater.. both resolved in a timely manner. Access to beach is close, myself and 5 kids walked it many times! Beautiful home and VRBO did compensate for the issues during our stay! Overall very happy with house and the ones who manage it! Very kind and attentive! I had the pleasure of getting help from Sam and I’m very satisfied with resolution!
The house, outdoor pool and sand valleyball at the property was use by my family frequently. The house was large and clean but… the main bedrooms were on second floor 14 steps up and another open sleeping room on 3rd floor more steps up not ideal for elderly parents and the main bathrooms with showers were also on the second floor. I have overlooked how many steps the house had and not enough full bathrooms for 10 people. Master bathroom is open to master bedroom no doors. I did need more bath towels.. which were brought quickly on the same day. Overall my family had great time.
On the plus side the house was in a great location only a short walk to the beach. The house its self was in great condition. Out side shower for returning from the beach and the pool was great. The down side was 1, All rooms had TVs and direct TV but except for the main room and the main bedroom these were smaller than a computer monitor. All the controllers were hard to work felt like they alll needed new batterys. 2, One of the "Bedrooms" was basicly the walk in closet for the master bedroom with bunk beds in and the mattresses on these 2 were uncomfortable. We had a amazing time at the house it was a pity these simple items stopped us giving them a 5 star review and would suggest upgrading these.

It was a nice house and one of the closest ones to the street, so closer to the beach. One bedroom is literally a closet with bunk beds in it, inside the master bedroom with a shower that has no privacy...so that was a bummer. No one wanted to shower in there. The upstairs got really hot and a few things were broken like the outside hose and the toilet paper holder. The beds were comfortable, except the closet bunk beds. The kitchen didn't have any pot holders or salt and pepper...they did offer to come bring us some though when I asked the company if they had any in the house. Ive never been to a condo that didn't have pot holders. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and all the balconies it had to offer. It also was close to the pool and sand volleyball.
I have a few suggestions please put more toilet paper and trash bags and house essentials. We only got one roll of toilet paper for each bathroom. One dish washer pod etc. and one trash bag it’s not a big deal to go get more. But that’s an expense we shouldn’t have had to worry about with the price we paid. I mean does anyone want to get caught on the toilet with no toilet paper? And the private beach wasn’t as advertised. You needed a code to get in there and our code didn’t work. Was a nice stay otherwise.
This rental was very close to everything. It was sell furnished and equipped with everything our family needed. The kids loved the third floor. We rented a 6 seat street legal cart and enjoyed not moving our vehicles and no sand in the vehicles. The host was wonderful and we had no issues. The pool and beach were close. We enjoyed the pool as much as the pool. We will rent this again.
