The condo was stunning! Beautiful beach view with a side walk that takes you right to the beach! The kitchen was awesome had almost everything we needed. Could use some Tupperware for taking snacks to the beach. The last is the bunk beds. The room with the bunks was much smaller than expected. We had two girls sleeping in there but their stuff would not fit and the air in the room is not very circulated so it did stay hot. The master bed room and bathroom was absolutely beautiful though! Will definitely stay here again!

Walk to Beach is a great place to enjoy the beautiful waters of Miramar Beach. The condo is clean with pretty decor. The beds are very comfortable and guaranteed a good nights sleep before heading out to the amazing beach. It’s a little bit of a walk to the beach but you can drive up and unload your beach chairs or if you’re lucky get a parking spot.
I highly recommend Walk to Beach. The views are incredible.

This place was perfect for us. It’s in a good location with a great view. Short walk to the beach and to a few restaurants and shops. The bunk room is small and probably best for children but it worked for a small adult. Some of the cooking utensils could use an update but worked well enough for us to make a few meals and had most of everything we needed. The balcony was huge with tons of seating and the view was amazing. We would definitely stay here again!

Real Joy was great! We called for towels late and they didn’t hesitate and came same night! The place was well prepped and great views! I would have liked to have some pool floaties in the condo but that was not a deal breaker! We had 6 adults and the .5 room was a little tight for 2 adults but we weren’t there to hang out in the condo. The unit was well decorated and the real Joy crew was very attentive and communicated very well with what we needed to do. I highly recommend booking with them! Thank you Real Joy for making our memories about the destination and our 6 pack tribe from West Michigan!

This was my family’s quick getaway before the start of the new school year, and my 7 year old asked to go to her favorite beach. We found this unit and booked it right away. We stay in Ariel Dunes whenever we come to town and we are never disappointed. The unit was clean, we found that the master bed was broken when we went to bed the first night, but management came by the next day and fixed it. The view of the gulf is always spectacular, and it’s just a short walk to the beach. The kitchen was stocked, missing a spatula, but the frying pan was non-stick…so we made it work. For the price, we think we found a deal, and the unit was beautifully decorated. We will definitely book again.

This high rise condo was great. The view from the front and back was wonderful. Amazing view off the back balcony to the beach, we could see where our umbrellas were set up and everything. Really spectacular. The customer care was so nice. I reached out to them a few times during my stay and they were super helpful and responsive. Parking is a little hectic, but the parking lot is plenty big and we never ran out of spaces to find. Two big pools that we did not use, but they are there to enjoy. Walk to the beach was short and easy with a wash off station in between. My family of 5 stayed here. Master bedroom and 2nd bedroom were great. 3rd bedroom with two bunkbeds is tiny, but if you have young kids it's fine. I would stay here again if Miramar/Destin is where you want to be. It was a great place for the 5 nights we stayed.
