Also close by is the Destin Commons with incredible eateries, upscale shopping, a park with pop up fountains at its center, and favorites like Bass Pro Shops and Hard Rock Cafe.
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 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!

The property was nicer than the pics. They need updating. We had a good trip despite hurricane Helene. Fully stocked kitchen. Couches were not very comfortable and more lighting is needed for the living area.

Peggy, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your vacation. We're glad to hear that your overall trip was enjoyable, despite the weather challenges. We appreciate your feedback on the property and will look into the areas you mentioned that could use some improvements. We hope you will join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
The kitchen is fully stocked with all cooking pans, pots, utensils, and appliances you may need. The condo is very spacious and allows for your own private oasis. Lots of sand toys, wagon, and boogie boards for the kids to use! Thank you!
The only ‘it would be better if’s’ that I can say are (1) I wish you could walk directly from the pool to the room instead of going through the lobby (2) the master bed is extremely firm - it would be more comfortable with a pillow top or egg crate. These 2 things didn’t keep from giving it a 5 star rating though.

Important Amenities listed not Available
Heated pool not available as listed. This was main thing I looked for because of booking in February. My grandchildren were coming and I knew many of rentals only have seasonal heating. The unit itself was very nice but that wasn’t the most important part for our vacation.Real Joy didn’t show concern over this and didn’t share the fact that there was a small heated pool across from us that we could use. Several days later others staying at our complex informed us. Very upsetting.

Claudia, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your stay. We are sorry that the pool, which is seasonally heated, was not heated during your stay. Our records indicate that we spoke with the Community Association Manager who informed us that none of the pools on the property were heated at the time and we passed this information on to you. We're glad you were able to find a heated pool and we hope you were able to enjoy it. We are glad that the unit was nice and we hope everything else about your stay was as well. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Karen, Thank you for the 5-star review. We are delighted you enjoyed your time on our beautiful beaches and hope you will join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
