Ariel Dunes is located close to the Silver Sands Factory Outlet, the nation’s large designer factory outlet featuring more than 100 name brand designer stores. 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 condo was great! Very clean, great location and views. Short walk to the beach and restaurants. The pools were easily accessible and not crowded. Parking was never an issue. 10 minutes to Destin for shopping too.

We enjoyed our stay. The condo is very nice, large, clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. Short walk to the beach, and beautiful view of the gulf. Patio is spacious, and the pools are large. We are already looking at dates to come back. The best condo we have ever rented.

Condo was exactly as pictured. Wonderful view and location. Only disappointment was the furniture and beds. All were old and very squeaky. Management company was very easy to deal with.

We'll pass along your comments regarding the furniture and beds to the owner for their consideration. We appreciate the nod to our wonderful staff and thank you for choosing RealJoy.
My family truly enjoyed our fall break at the beach! The check in was super easy, all of the information we needed was provided in advance and the condo was just as the pictures and listing described. The sofa in this has definitely seen better days, but that is the only thing I found lacking. The kitchen and laundry here were great and well equipped. Wish they had a Keurig, but I still enjoyed my brewed coffee on the amazing balcony. We would certainly stay here again!

Hi! We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your family's enjoyable stay in Ariel Dunes II 1601. We are happy to know that check-in was super easy with needed information being provided in advance, this three-bed/three-bath unit met your expectations, the kitchen is well stocked, washer & dryer are great, and you would certainly stay here again. This condo went though an extensive full remodel in 2019, so the couch is only a few years old. We will share your comments though with the owner. This unit now has a Keurig for all future guests to enjoy. We appreciate the suggestion. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.
Great place to stay, spacious,clean, modern, comfy and close to shops and restaurants.

The pictures do not to this condo justice! We have been coming for years to stay in the same building and this is by far our new favorite condo! Our family( ages 2 & 6) were very comfortable and enjoyed the open space and view. The only( and super minor) thing I wish it had was more beach gear to use. We did leave our umbrella and beach toys in hopes someone else could use them since we were flying back( beach chairs were provided but an umbrella is necessary for Destins sun) We are already planning our next visit! Thank you!

The process of renting was very easy and the same with checking in and out. The only issue we had was the water kept cutting off whenever we went to shower. Other than the one problem, the unit is lovely and in the perfect spot for a lovely vacation! Would definitely stay again!

This condo was perfect for 7 adults and a 2 year old. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Very nice, had everything we needed and was close enough to all the things we wanted to do. The views are wonderful and our little guy enjoyed the zero entry pool.

Condo was perfect for vacation. With Covid the residents were vocal about in the lobby in the building crowding in the elevators and people not wearing mask, borderline rude and parking was sparse, sometimes nonexistent, but the condo itself was perfect!
