Area Attractions:
Grand Boulevard Town Center is a pedestrian-friendly, shopping and dining complex just off Emerald Coast Parkway, convenient to both SanDestin and Miramar Beach. For the high-end shopper, the center offers many great restaurants and stores.
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!

Had a blast and enjoyed staying here. It made for a great home base for our activities!- Reviewed On: 8/7/2021
Owner great to communicate with! So easy to check in since you just have a code. We were right beside Alvin’s and just had to walk up the street to enter the beach and Pompano Joes is just a little farther. Awesome location because you can get food and drinks on the beach if you don’t want to go back to your room to eat. Loved that the bedrooms were carpeted instead of tile floors like so many condos now. If you feel the need to clean, plenty of supplies available. One shower door could have been cleaner and I let owner know and she was very apologetic and was going to address with her cleaning staff. Really great time and great place to stay!- Reviewed On: 7/4/2021

We stayed a week at this affordable townhome that was near the beach and was in a complex with a pool. Driving up and parking was easy with 2 parking spaces included outside the door. My spouse and I brought our 3 kids. There were 2 bedrooms with an available blow up mattress. Towels and bedding were included with many kitchen amenities/dishes. Blow up toys and boogie boards were available. The pool area was nice and rarely had others using the pool. The deck and patio are next to a nice large grassy area which I had not seen at any other homes in the area. While the rental has some wear and tear that was expected, there were many things we were glad to have. The owner was responsive to questions and concerns. A washer and dryer with a dishwasher made our stay easier as well. We will recommend this unit to our friends and family. We were trying to take a vacation in which we could be conscious of COVID risks and this place allowed us to easily eat our own food or bring pickup orders there.- Reviewed On: 4/15/2021
It was spring break, which I did not know. The college kids were not loud at night, and were not running like the crazies you see on the news. I would recommend this townhouse to anyone. It was in a great location and close to the beach, and beautifully decorated.- Reviewed On: 3/29/2021
The townhouse was updated, very nicely decorated, and very clean. It's in a great location and very convenient to the beach. Being set back from Old Highway 98, behind another property, makes it very quiet also. We also liked the view behind the townhouse... open space rather than the other townhouses. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely stay in this townhome again. We highly recommend it.- Reviewed On: 11/2/2020
Our family of four enjoyed spending 6 days at this property. The townhouse is fully equipped for a comfortable stay. The beach is pretty close, about 7 minutes of walking. The parking is next to the entrance door.- Reviewed On: 7/28/2020
Wonderful vacation!! Destin is amazing, the townhouse is very close to the beach. Several shops that are close, yogurt and ice cream shop next door. The townhouse had everything we needed and more. Would definitely stay on a return trip to Destin. Thank you!- Reviewed On: 7/25/2019
Great stay overall! Close to the beach and an easy walk. There are a few updates that could be made, but you stay here for the location which is great. It's hidden away, but the "main" road is a little busy. We didn't have a problem at all, but some may want to avoid that. Overall, if you want to stay in Miramar, this is a great place. Centrally located, excellent fenced outdoor area for kids, the pool is great and a lot of "stuff" nearby. If you've got kids, this is definitely a good fit for you. Easy process to book and communicate with the owner. Thanks for everything!- Reviewed On: 7/6/2019
Summerhouse 2 was just what we needed. Plenty of space from our family of 4. We had the pool to ourselves most days and the beach was practically across the street. Alvin’s Island is also next door which was very convenient for forgotten items like goggles. Would stay here again!- Reviewed On: 6/11/2019

We had an amazing stay at the townhouse. Very close to the beach, about 5 min walk. We will definitely be back to stay on our next Destin vacation! The townhouse was perfect for me and my family.

We enjoyed everything about our stay and Jody and her father was great and easy to deal with. The Missourians! Audra and Danny Bell- Reviewed On: 5/29/2018
But lots of catching up on cleaning, fixing, and improving! I hope my rental guests enjoy the unit as much as I do. So comfortable, now very clean and great location. Will be buying new king bedroom set this winter! Hope you all come back!- Reviewed On: 9/29/2017
We really enjoyed our stay at Summerhouse #2. Would definitely stay there again. Just a shot walk to a beach access.- Reviewed On: 8/11/2017
Thank you Frank! Glad you enjoyed your stay! 😊Real Joy staff
Summerhouse #2 is two-tenths of a mile (~3 mins) walk from beach access. The area that you access is a low-usage spot (compared to what we saw up and down the beach). The townhome is well stocked with essentials, and includes a washer and dryer in the unit (other guests we talked to had to use community washer/dryer on the property). We slept five easily - two adults and three large teenage boys! Easy access to the scenic highway, Pampano Joe's, and a short drive to everything you love about the Destin area! Jody and Ray were fantastic to work with and we hope to re-visit in the future! Highly recommend!- Reviewed On: 7/1/2017
