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.

Here you will find wind surfing, snorkeling, water-skiing and parasailing offered all along the Gulf. Nearby attractions include a Big Kahuna's Waterpark, The Track Family Fun Center and an array of watersports available at Destin Harbor. Of course you'll want to savor the unique and delicious flavors of the freshest seafood available at any of Destin's more then 100 eateries! Restaurants here range from casual oyster bars to elegant bistros serving culinary delights guaranteed to please your palate.

Come enjoy the freshest seafood, go fishing for all types of salt and freshwater fish, explore fun shops and boutiques or simply relax on breathtaking beaches.

Just 2.5 miles away is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. Also for the younger guests, a nautically/pirate themed outdoor playground features a 1,750 square foot soft play area with various creatures from the sea, slides, and a treasure chest!  Destin Commons also has a mini-train for the kids. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants.

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!

We enjoyed our stay here. The kitchen was equipped and fully functional. The beds were comfortable. The pool entrance is right outside of the unit, which we liked. The pool wasn’t crowded at any time during our stay in late September. The pay laundry is conveniently located down the hall. Some toiletry items were provided. It was great having the beach chairs setup every morning so all we needed to carry were our towels and cooler. The beach was not busy when we were there. I would certainly stay here again. The proximity to the beach and convenience/ cost savings of the chairs was a big plus for us as we came here primarily to be at the beach.

Have stayed at Gulfview II before but this was the first time in this unit. Great location next to the pool and parking lot right out our door for convenient access. No noise complaints either but a sound machine was provided. Ideal location for beach access as well … less than 150 yards to beachfront. The chair and umbrella included came in very handy as we traveled with littles and had less things to lug down to the beach. The unit remodeled with the island instead of peninsula gave us extra room to walk around and flowed well compared to other units. Communication was prompt and we were given plenty of information before our trip and they were responsive when things came up. Would stay again!

We did our family vacation with our boys (14 and 12). The condo was adequate size for us, and was great to have a kitchen (that was equipped) to do meals on the fly, and also avoid eating out every night. Within walking distance to quite a few restaurants, and less than a 10 min drive (w/the slower paced traffic) to other restaurants, grocery stores, etc. It was perfect to have the umbrella and chairs included with the unit (they set up and can be claimed early/mid morning between 8-9 approx. and they break down empty sets starting at 4, and all must be cleared by 5. The beach sand was perfect, the water was cool but not cold and the perfect temp on those extreme heat/sun days. Was nice to have the option of the pool when our kiddos got wiped out by the ocean waves and just wanted to relax a little. The outdoor showers are nice to rinse all belongings/shoes/self before entering your condo which helped keeping sand inside to basically nothing.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay! If you’re looking for a place close to the beach and don’t mind driving for groceries, shopping, or restaurants, I highly recommend this spot. We spent most of our time on the beach, and having it within walking distance was perfect. Someone from the RealJoy team even called to check in with us and make sure everything went smoothly, which we really appreciated. We also weren’t lacking anything amenity-wise—everything we needed was provided.

Little loud in some of the rooms around. Other than that real nice time. The chairs included was a good bonus (though they take them up promptly at 5pm) and the location to the pool was great- though it was further from the beach (view of the beach would be all I would trade). Very nice interior seems well updated compared to some others in the place so would definitely choose this again. We had a great time

This condo was very clean. Being on the bottom floor made it very nice. Right outside the front door was the pool and hot tub. Outside the black sliding glass door was about a half a mile walk to the beach. The only complaints I have are about the dryers not being great (I had to pay over $15 for one load of laundry since the the dryers did not dry the clothes) and the pool was extremely cold! They need to heat the pool. Besides that it was a great stay and I will stay here again.

The weather was absolutely freezing (50’s) but the days were perfectly sunny and the ocean across the street was a treat to dash back and fourth to see (dolphins!). The hot tub here made allllll the difference and we loved the coziness of the condo. It’s clean and spacious and well put together. Our 12 year old enjoyed running back and fourth between the cold pool and heated pool and hot tub. The restaurants all along A30 we’re easy to get into and nice but the prices startled us.
