Its incredible architecture has helped to make it famous but also its faithful replication of the kind of seaside town that used to be common up and down the coast. Seaside has its own Farmer's Market, post office, Repertory Theater and neighborhood school. It boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine and the incredible architecture that makes Seaside famous, There are activities for everyone; kayak rentals, bike rentals, paragliding, fishing, golfing, hiking, swimming, tennis -- you'll find it all right here.

The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 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!

Extremely clean, spacious home with outstanding amenities. Real Joy staff was friendly, knowledgeable and immediately responded when I reach out for assistance during my stay. Thank you for a stress free wonderful stay. Natalie- Posted: 3/14/2025

We absolutely loved our stay here! We came during October and it was perfect. The walk is about 1.2 miles to the beach on an easy path, and there are bathrooms and showers right at the beach entrance. There is an ice cream shoppe .25 miles from house which was a fun night outing. Home was very clean and welcoming. Three couches in the living room made movie night very comfortable - would absolutely come back! Location is about 25-30 mins from Destin and 15 mins to Seaside/Rosemary area.- Posted: 10/15/2024
Elizabeth, Thank you for the 5-star review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay during the perfect time of year in October. It sounds like you had a wonderful time exploring the area and taking advantage of the convenient location near the beach, ice cream, and other attractions. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

My family really enjoyed our stay here! The house was beautiful, and we really enjoyed using the bikes during our stay. We found the house well-supplied with dish soap, toilet paper, etc. for our 4 night stay. We would absolutely stay here again in the future!- Posted: 7/21/2024

I thought the place was great - the location was great and was away from a majority of the noise, but close enough so that you could drive to a beach without much trouble for parking. (For reference we went on July 4th, considered the area's busiest time of the year.)
We had to buy a few more miscellaneous things like toilet paper, napkins, and shampoo, however, the vast supply of plates, cups, and kitchen utensils came in handy- Posted: 7/7/2024
Borna, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the location and amenities of our property, even during the busy July 4th holiday. It's great that you were able to find everything you needed to make your stay comfortable. We hope you'll join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.Real Joy staff

Wonderful house with perfect location. Comfy beds in all rooms! The only thing missing was a full length mirror...for a bunch of young ladies?- Posted: 3/16/2023

As mentioned, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom and one roll of paper towels is a joke. Other than that it is a killer place.- Posted: 8/12/2022

Amazing Family Getaway
We truly enjoyed our stay in this property. The location is excellent. The pool is a nicely sized community pool for vacationers with kids. The rooms were spacious. The kitchen by far is AMAZING! I highly recommend this property. The vacation company is super attentive and will give great tips for the area.- Posted: 7/21/2022

The place is very spacious and clean, it easily sleeps six though we were only 4. The kitchen had everything we needed in terms of pots/pans and plates. I wish they had some cleaning products (no counter cleaner and only 3 dishwasher pods) and aluminum foil in the kitchen to allow us to more easily clean up after meals and save left overs. I'd be ok leaving extras that we bought but since nothing was there, I was worried it would just get thrown away. Expect hotel size/quality soap, shampoo and conditioner in the bathrooms. And while the listing does say there's minimal toilet paper (1 roll for each bathroom) it would not have been that hard to have an extra roll. We could have made do with what was there but I didn't feel like moving toilet paper around. Maybe I just think it's common courtesy to have a roll +1, especially at this rate. The location was great!! You are very close to the pool. No beach towels (but this was clear in the listing), which is a challenge if you are flying. We had plenty of space to park our car, a guest car and the bikes we rented. It was a nice/easy bike ride to Blue Mountain Beach. We even biked to Dune Alley Beach once too. The neighborhood was quiet - no noise concerns.- Posted: 6/18/2022

This place was AMAZING! Location was perfect, within 1 mile from a great public beach and amazing food places (local catch was SO good, highly recommend) also the community is so quiet and cute, and the community pool is literally right in your backyard! Which means a 2 second walk and your there! Pool and hot tub were both clean and not crowded at all, we had the pool area to ourselves for a large portion of our time in the pools. House is beautiful and clean and the living area is huge, it rained during our stay but it wasn’t a huge deal because everyone had space to relax. The kitchen has an ice maker and is well stocked with everything you need to cook, minus the food ? would 100% book this home again!- Posted: 5/1/2022

Our family enjoyed our stay so much! The house is described perfectly, very clean and felt cozy & welcoming! Location is great too. We saved by renting in highland park vs. closer to the beach and you’re still so close! I’d definitely recommend getting a golf cart to make getting around even easier. We did not because we have very young kids but kept saying how nice that would be. We never had trouble finding a spot to park at blue mtn beach access. We were so happy to find a little portable high chair in the kitchen and a beach chair upstairs. Only bummer was how cold the pool was, the ocean was warmer than the pool. We enjoyed dinner at Shunk Gully, Chringo in Grayton, North Beach Social (super kid friendly!), and the food trucks in Seaside. We also made a couple stops at Blue Mountain Bakery and a nightly stop at Blue Mountain Creamery! Can’t wait to return!- Posted: 4/22/2022
Bethany, Thank you for the 5 star review of Chalet Mer. We are so glad that you had a great time and enjoyed all the location has to offer. You definitely hit the highlights! We are delighted that you will return and we look forward to seeing you. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.Real Joy staff

Perfect Getaway!
House was perfect for your family!!!- Posted: 7/26/2021

Our family of 3 enjoyed the space. It’s perfect for a small group. Loved the layout. The half bath was nice too. Furniture was comfortable.
We made most of our meals during our 5 day stay. Kitchen was stocked with all the basics. A pizza pan or even cookie sheet would have been helpful but we improvised and it worked.
It was nice to have a couple of smart TVs in the master and one of the upstairs bedrooms. The ceiling fans in the upstairs bedrooms are on the same remote so you have to work through timing of speed and lights.
The walk to Blue Mountain Beach is easy to follow. And, you can’t beat the walk to the pool that’s basically in the back yard. It would be helpful to have a water hose to rinse off before going into the house.
Community is nice and quiet. Well kept house.- Posted: 7/9/2021

Nice home just a quick ride to the beach
This home was nicely decorated and central to many great beaches if you wanted to drive or a quick golf cart or bike ride to blue mountain beach. The only thing we would have preferred was a better stocked kitchen (ie cooking utensils) if you are planning on eating in.- Posted: 10/2/2020
