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!

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:

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!

The place is great, well located close to the beach. The view from the balcony is absolutely beautiful. The only issue are the mattress in the auxiliary room, they make a sound when you turn in bed which can disturb the other person when sleeping. Other than that it is fully recommended

Miramar Beach Florida ??

Loved the location, how clean it was. Very roomy. Will definitely use again. Loved where we stayed. Nothing except maybe that it took a little while to wait on elevator because of how tall the building is but other than that, perfect. Never been to Florida before this trip and was well worth the drive. Loved the beaches

Great location

We really enjoyed our stay at this unit. The location was great with a short walk to beach and had easy parking. I would have preferred that there be no carpet as I have allergies, but that wouldn’t be a deal breaker for this beautiful view. Also, it would be nice to have had smart tv’s to watch some tv at night. Overall, we had a great time and would rent here again.

The beach was beautiful as was the location. There was a Cabana restaurant to eat at, golf cart rentals, large pools, & more. It was conveniently located next to everything. One of the beds in the twin bedroom was a little squeaky & wobbly, but I ended up sleeping just fine. I’d definitely recommend staying there.

Sally, Thank you for the 5-star review. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful beach, convenient location, and amenities during your stay.

Great visit with the fam!

Condo was perfect for my family of 4 and my dad. Very clean and spacious. The pools were amazing. Kids had a blast! It never got overly packed for us nor did we have to wait terribly long for the elevator. It was also very quiet. Having gym access was also a nice touch if you weren't too tired from all the fun in the sun. The beach is about a 4 minute walk. It gets pretty packed and folks will start setting up camp on the beach at 630. There are no beach accessories so if you must have any be sure to bring your own. I want to mention that the beds in the kids' room are ideal only for smaller children. An adult would not be comfortable on the beds. The box springs is very noisy and mattress is super soft feeling like I sunk into the bed itself....this did not phase my 8 and 11 year old boys BUT if you had teens/adults looking to stay in that room good luck. My dad said the sofa pull out was comfortable.

Girl's Trip

We had a blast on our Girl's Trip weekend. The property was so inviting when entering with soft smooth music playing and even had a welcome card and gift on the counter. The property was assessable to everything that we took advantage of for the weekend and the restaurant was great. Our view of the beach was amazing. The only thing that I can complain about is that we had one roach crawling on the wall but since our room was right by the elevator/trash shoot I let that complaint slide. (This time)

Our first time in Destin and this place was perfect. Put us right in the middle of everything, the beach, dining, pools, and arcade. Made it very hassle free as far as not having to go far for anything. The condo was great, very spacious, fit the 6 of us with no problem. The views were amazing as well, could hear the waves of the gulf from the balcony at night. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Great location and great view of the beach! We have friends that have a place at the Emperess and it was easy and convenient for us to meet up with them to go to the beach and dinner. Condo was easy to access and close by elevator (but not noisy from people walking by). Dont miss the Cabana in the bottom of the building its a great bar with nightly live music and good bar food! Thanks for having us! J & T

amazing stay! literally everything we needed
- Posted: 7/26/2022

This Condo has nice accommodations and a beautiful view of the Ocean .You have to bring extra toilet paper, filters for the coffee pot , hand soap, extra paper towels, and you need to buy trash bags that are better quality because the ones they supply are poor quality. Also you clean up after you pay the extra house keeping fee. They had us take out the trash load up dishes etc... We would naturally clean up but to request us to do things after we pay for a house keeper is ridiculous.
- Posted: 7/15/2022

Great place - very clean and exactly as described. Definitely would stay again!

Family friendly. Had two different pools. Had a shallow pool for the kids but it does go to about 5ft. The other side of the pool starts at 3ft I believe. A lot of room, I had 4 adults and 3 kids during my stay. Beach view was nice and the beach is walking distance.
