The Bed Setup:

Guest Bedroom: Queen Bed
Guest Bedroom: 2 Twin Beds
Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa
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 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.
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!

Our group had a wonderful stay in Destin! The house was as advertised and the feedback from RealJoy was timely and beneficial. We really couldn't have asked for more. Thanks!- Posted: 3/29/2025
Justin, thank you for your fantastic 5-star review! We're glad to hear that the house met your expectations and that our communication was timely and helpful. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we appreciate your kind words. We hope to welcome you back to RealJoy for another wonderful stay in Destin!Real Joy staff

Great location, easy 5 minute walk to the beach, felt very safe and secure. The heated pool was a kid favorite, but make sure you specify you want it heated before you get there. The house was kept very clean and the outdoor space was great and fenced in for our dog. The grill could use a good cleaning. The kitchen gear needs an upgrade - pans unusable, knives dull. We did have to go get a few extra bath towels, kitchen hand towels, and some basic things such as dish soap, hand soap, paper towel, toilet paper during our stay. Flooring is buckling in a few places from previous water damage but not unsafe. Realjoy was extremely easy to communicate with and responsive. Would definitely stay again & recommend to others. The beach and ocean were beautiful!- Posted: 3/23/2025
Rachel, thank you for your detailed 5-star review! We're glad you enjoyed the great location, heated pool, and the fenced outdoor space for your dog. We appreciate your feedback regarding the kitchen gear and supplies, as well as the flooring issue, and we'll look into these matters. It's great to hear that you found communication with us easy and responsive. We look forward to welcoming you back for another stay!Real Joy staff

Great family friendly place my kids loved that the pool was heated we didn’t expect that! But was a great addition. We felt very safe and at home- Posted: 3/17/2025

The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, close to the beach and the heated pool was delightful (although the waterfall feature wasn’t functional, as pictured). The inside space was clean and had ample amenities, particularly in the kitchen (dishes, utensils, pots/pans, both large and small appliances). The floors were water damaged throughout the home, but did not deter from our experience. Fenced in back yard was a big plus for our pooch! Appreciated the attached garage and full size (seemingly brand new) washer and drier.- Posted: 1/1/2025
Meagan, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood, the proximity to the beach, and the amenities of the home. We regret the waterfall feature was not functional during your stay, and that there was some water damage to the floors. We hope you will join us again soon.

We had a great stay. We loved the 5 minute walk to the beach and that the home was centrally located near lots of our favorite restaurants. Overall the house was clean other than lots of dust on the master bathroom ceiling coming from the vent.
The beds weren’t super comfortable but were fine for a short stay. The host company was super responsive. The neighborhood was quiet and beautiful.
We had better luck at Henderson State Park than the private beach as the private beach was very crowded, especially for October.
We appreciated the initial supplies provided (toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, etc).- Posted: 10/10/2024
Crisany, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and the convenient location near the beach and restaurants.

Great house in charming neighborhood. It was as described. The pool was very nice after long days of baseball tourney games. Proximity to the beach was a bit of a challenge for the grandparents and rental golf carts weren’t allowed to park at the neighborhood exits (sign posting prohibited it). For the price of the the house it would have been nice to have a golf cart on site. No cleaning supplies on site and towels, dish towels and was rags were limited. Overall we enjoyed the space. Our dog enjoyed the fenced yard and there was a nice fence to keep her (dog) safe from falling in the pool. Could have used a nicer coffee pot.
RealJoy was very responsive when asking questions before and during the stay.- Posted: 6/8/2024

The place was great in a good location. Plenty of space. My only complaints are not enough towels or toiletries.
I would also say the cleaning fee was absurd that I had to pay, but I think that is because of AirBnB.
I would definitely recommend the place though. Pool was a great benefit.- Posted: 5/19/2024
Michael, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the location and space of this property. Next time, let us know you need extra towels and we’ll be happy to drop some off. 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 appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.Real Joy staff

The house was great. Easy walk to the beach and we absolutely loved the pool. It was a great stay. The only downside was the kitchen. We love to cook that’s why we also Airbnb. The pots and pans were on the older side. We ended up eating out a lot due to that. The grill also was a bit older. Other than that we loved the place and the easy access to the beach. Thank you for the stay.- Posted: 5/15/2024
Thomas, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're glad you enjoyed the house and the pool! We appreciate your feedback about the kitchen amenities and will take that into consideration for future improvements. We hope you'll join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy!Real Joy staff

Nice family getaway
House was nice and within short walking distance to private beach entrance. Kids really enjoyed the private pool. Only 2 issues we had was there was 2 codes for the gate and it kept changing so never knew which one to use. Other issue was some of the glasses were not clean. Just minor things would stay again.- Posted: 8/20/2022
Michelle, Thank you for the 5-star review. We apologize for the confusion surrounding the changing gate code. We do not have any control over the property policies. We're glad the kids enjoyed the pool and the private beach. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.Real Joy staff

Shore Does Beat Work
House was even nicer than expected. The home was beautifully decorated. Loved the pool, small but big enough for adults and kids to play. Short walk to the beach. Recommend that if you are taking chairs, cooler, or larger items to the beach, to have someone drive over to drop off, then walk back to park the car at the house. There's no parking near the beach gate. This is only to let future guests know. Overall Great Place!!- Posted: 5/31/2022

The beach is a short walk that’s 2 blocks away. When ya get back, relax more and unwind in the private pool. Good places to eat are near. Garage has beach chairs and beach gear to borrow. Also beach offers 2 chairs and an umbrella for $30 all day!- Posted: 5/30/2022

Great Home in a convenient location w/ a private pool...wow!
The community was quiet w front access to shopping and the rear led out onto the main beach drag. There is private beach access but no parking nearby so the Crab Trap public access was more convienent and had refreshments to boot.
We were there in early May so a Heated pool option would be nice but it was tolerable.- Posted: 5/13/2022
