The Bed Setup:

Guest Bedroom 1: Queen Bed

Guest Bedroom 2: Twin-over-Full Bunk Bed

Guest Bedroom 3: Two Twin Beds

Area Attractions:

Close by 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. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants.

All the excitement of Destin is just minutes away: choice of watersports, 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 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!

Great little house to stay at in Destin. We come every year and my husband really liked the location of this house for our family of 6 (plus a boyfriend!). Plenty of space for us all to spread out and not be on top of each other. Lots of beach items that were free to use which saved us quite a few bucks. Would book again!

Beautiful, clean, spacious home. Just a few minute walk to the beach. Beach was clean and peaceful. Home was enough space for 8. Bummer part was no backyard space, only patio. Kids had to play in the front yard. Very little traffic (golf cart) mainly. I would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay at the Sea Glass house. Real Joy helped obtain a garage door opener for us to use. The house was beautiful and well maintained. Enjoyed our stay and looking forward to coming back next year.

I highly recommend this place. It’s a very beautiful house, it feels like home. The hospitality was awesome, and this location is wonderful. This was our Girls trip (5 sisters) and they all loved it. So next time you want to spend it in the Sunshine state, Miramar, Fl is the place to be and the weather during this time was excellent. Don’t hesitate cause we are coming back.
Thank you RealJoy

Very nice place. Feels like home. Gated community. 6 minutes walk to beach. 4 wheeler beach cart and 8 beach chairs available to use. Only you will need umbrellas. If you stay more than 2 days you will need to get shampoo, dishwasher detergent and washer detergent and paper towel and paper towels. This place has everything you need, if you like hot tea you will need to get your own electric kettle to boil water. Parking is only for 2 cars outside and also you have garage for 2 cars but beach chairs and beach cart occupying at least 1 car space. Overall very satisfied with our choice.

Andrii, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're thrilled to hear that you felt at home and enjoyed the amenities of the gated community, including the proximity to the beach. You should have gotten an email prior to your stay letting you know that we provide starters of kitchen and bathroom essentials so you should plan to bring these items from home or purchase them once you get here. This is for safety reasons. We hope you'll join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
