Area Attractions: 

Be sure to check out the Village of Baytowne Wharf -- a beautiful 28-acre waterfront town center with a collection of unique shops, charming eateries, lively nightclubs and year-round special events. Find an amazing array of things to do at Baytowne Wharf. Plenty to keep the kids happy – burn off some energy at the Adventureland Playground, test your courage at the Gulf Coast’s only zipline or ropes course at Baytowne Adventure Zone. Go back in time at the Carousel or head to the future at the Blast Arcade and laser Maze, or the Boondocks Arcade. Want to get your shop on?? You’ll find a varied selection of shops right here in the Village, from a surf shop to funky clothing, shoes, and accessories, and everything in between, a wine shop, toy store, general store, and even an old-fashioned candy shop.

The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Seahorse Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 715 feet out from the Topsail Hill Preserve State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted seabed. The Seahorse Reef is at a depth of 13-18 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!

Beautiful home. Very clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay. The only negatives for us were, first there are no grill. Second, the mattress in master bedroom was very uncomfortable. Probably needs to be replaced. We enjoyed the cart to get around. We still would recommend this property..

5 Stars! Extremely well maintained condo!

The condo was in fantastic shape, extremely clean, and very comfortable for our family of 5. The best vacation rental I have ever stayed at, hands down— kitchen was fully stocked, everything was in great shape, and all the amenities were delightful. Management was easy to work with and even let us check in early! Would absolutely stay at this home or any other RealJoy managed home again.

Great location for families!

Family of 6 - great neighborhood. Felt so safe and the beach was great. Highly recommend getting the golf cart if you plan to visit Baytowne or the beach - so convenient and easy to find parking. Management company was super responsive to needs in the property but had an issue with the golf cart and never heard back about it so we didn’t get to use it our last day which was a bummer. Overall though, would stay here again and recommend to others!
