Area Attractions:

This Miramar Beach locale is close to popular beachfront restaurants and friendly lively bars along Scenic Gulf Drive. It is within easy walking distance right down the beach to a palm-lined boardwalk that parallels the shore in front of Seascape. Here you will find opportunities for all sorts of water sports including kayaking, surfing, parasailing, and jet skiing. Championship golf and tennis courts are also available at Seascape where Ocean Reef Resorts guests receive special rates. Nearby is a quaint beachside bar and restaurant known as The Whale's Tail that provides a perfect spot to grab a munch and your favorite frozen beverage. Other popular beachfront restaurants along Scenic Gulf Drive include The Surf Hut, Pompano Joe's, Captain Dave's, and The Crab Trap which are only minutes away by car. You may also go bargain shopping here at Silver Sands Premium Outlets which is the largest in the nation. Other restaurants, lively bars, specialty shopping, and family amusements are also minutes away at Grand Boulevard as well as Baytowne Wharf in Sandestin.

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 everything from Fusion Art Glass Gallery to Brooks Brothers Country Club. A number of boutiques, such as Hello, Sunshine, and Magnolia House, carry fare you can't find anywhere else. Dining options include Mitchell's Fish Market, P. F. Chang's China Bistro, and Cantina Laredo Gourmet Mexican Food. In 2013, Walton County’s first movie theater opened at Grand Boulevard’s Town Center – the state-of-the-art Boulevard 10 Movie Theater.

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 the 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!

Bachelorette Weekend
The whole experience was a dream! The communication was stellar, which enabled us to check in a day earlier last minute (storm related change in travel plans) and stay a day longer. They even helped me with a package that I thought I had mistakenly had shipped to the house. The house was clean and ready for company and all instructions were super clear. One thing I would suggest is a guide to all of the light switches in the living room because they are a bit confusing. The space was absolutely perfect for my group of 10 women, my 75 year old mother, and my 4.5 month old baby. Everyone slept so comfortably! A few of us are trying to plan a return trip with our families! 10/10 highly recommend this property! The location is fantastic, the furnishings quite comfortable, and

We loved this house so much! The location was perfect, right on the beach. We had 10 adults and 4 kids and it was more than enough space for all of us. We really enjoyed the outdoor space and balconies as well.

Being right on the beach was a must for our family vacation…that’s exactly what we got! The kitchen is tiny, but fully equipped. I call the beautiful sand there sugar sand. It sticks to you even after using the outdoor shower. It’s really unavoidable, but you’re on vacay at the beach! Rooms were quite comfortable! I highly recommend this property!

Overall, the property was a little more worn than expected with some damage in places. But it was clean and in a great location. Inclusion of beach chairs and umbrella is a plus. Process was easy and seemless. Would definitely go back.

We booked this for a work retreat and we found the Airbnb was as pictured and quite beautiful. The feedback from my team was “best retreat ever” The accommodations offered everyone enough privacy and most had a view and access to the beach view, this helped to foster an engaged team. The instructions arrived morning of and were easy to find address, WiFi, door code and instructions. The layout offered the space to enjoy our presentations on the big screen and the kitchen is stocked with everything except storage containers for the food we brought so we didn’t have to eat out for every meal. There were enough garbage bags, soaps, shampoos, iron, towels, dishwashing tablets for our trip. We were close walking distance for restaurants and this cool structure on the beach for drinks. We’d definitely book again.

We loved the “Land of Ahhs” property - the RealJoy team did a fantastic job communicating.
It had more rooms and beds than we needed and had ample seating areas inside and outside on the balconies with amazing privacy and views.
We’d book again!

Amazing
We had a total of 14 people in our stay and had plenty of room. The house was very clean, except for a few roaches, it was amazing! It was our perfect family vacation. Only one thing I was not comfortable with was that the weird guy that works across the street at the scooter rental shop for some reason had access to go on the property and go around our cars. It was 10:30 at night and when we got back to the house I thought someone was breaking into our cars. When we confronted him about why he was on the property, he said he was allowed to go on the property anytime he wanted to and we couldn’t do anything about it. He quickly left when I told him I was going to call Real Joy and ask. I did ask and they said no one should be able to go on the property and they would look into it , hopefully they do. The next morning I did see that guy again and he was one of the workers fro the scooter shop. Other than that it was great!

We had 13 adults, a preteen 2 toddlers and an infant, everyone was comfortable and enjoyed their stay. The only setback was the size of the kitchen if your wanting to cook vs. eating out. The private beach area was awesome the chair and umbrella service provided was a jewel.

Great memories and will book again!
Great house, super convenient location, with a great view of the beach. Realjoy was also quick with their responses and with whatever I needed. When we checked in, we can feel the dirt and sand on the floor. Thats common since I know how hard it is to maintain that but it was to the point of where we had to vacuum ourselves. Our grill needed a new propane and they immediately sent someone with it, no additional charges. Across the street is DQ, a cheap and huge shopping store where everything is $9.99, rentals for scooters, bikes, golf carts, etc and the best coffee, Bad Ass Coffee, all within a 1 minute walk.

Excellent place. 10 minutes from each of the major bar and restaurant hubs, a 5 minute walk to the Whales Tail. The bunk room does get quite warm but is manageable. Beautiful place, walk off your porch onto the beach, I'd love to find this house again and take the exact same trip.
Also, kudos to management. Apparently the people before us were a bit destructive but management came out (not at our request) and changed out some chairs and things to make it a more pleasurable stay.

First thing to note is that master bedrooms are on top floor - 3rd floor. This floor has good size bathrooms and closets.
Second floor has living, small dinning and kitchen. Kitchen has no gas - its electric.
First floor has two small rooms, washer dryers. It also has kids bunk area (looks like a garage turned into a room).
We were two families and were able to fit in very well.
Beach is very accessible. Neighborhood is full of condos, townhomes and multifamily apartments.
Overall good place.

Location is amazing, right on the sand and close to a super cute coffee shop that you can walk to. We booked this home for a family vacation and overall the stay was really good, we ran into a few issues and real joy tried their best to help resolve those things as quick as possible. The only thing we were surprised with was the bedroom with all the bunks is actually inside what the garage space would be, and since it was December and very usually cold temps (normally never gets that’s cold in Florida even in December) that room got 0 heat to it. They did provide us with space heaters but it still was very cold and that’s where all the kids slept so that was a bummer but overall we wouldn’t of had an issue with it if it wasn’t so cold outside. Will book again during summer months so we can really enjoy the beach this time without it being so cold!! Thanks real joy for the awesome stay!
