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!

Hi Kaylea! Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re glad to hear you appreciated the convenience of our location and enjoyed the beach. We look forward to welcoming you back for another stay!
Description is accurate for this unit. They do have a keurig coffee maker that is not shown. Communications and checkin very easy. Great view of the beach. No beach chairs and umbrella included. The kitchen is not what I would consider “well stocked” but everything we needed was provided… just not abundant. I would stay here again!

Hi Beth! Thank you for your review! We're glad to know that the unit met your expectations and that you enjoyed the great beach view. We appreciate your feedback regarding the kitchen supplies and the beach amenities, as we always strive to improve our offerings. It's wonderful to hear that you would stay with us again. We look forward to your next visit!
We loved our first family fall break trip! The unit was super easy to get to and very nice and clean. Had a view of the pool and could see the beach. Very close to shopping and our favorite restaurants. We were a little disappointed with the pool, we assumed it was so cold because the hurricanes just came through and they may have had to drain and refill but we met another couple who had been coming 13+ years and said it is always cold. We will definitely be visiting again though!

Rhendi, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're thrilled to hear you and your family had such a wonderful first fall break trip with us. We're glad the unit was convenient, clean, and offered a nice view. We apologize the pool was colder than expected, but we're glad to hear you'll be visiting again soon. We look forward to welcoming you back. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
It met all the basic criteria. when they say steps to the beach they mean it - about 10 steps. Feels like you are in your own private home with beautiful gulf views. We've stayed at Mainsail for 12 years. and this is out favorite unit.

Gayle, Thank you for the 5-star review. We are delighted to hear that this condo was perfect for you. We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful views and we hope you'll visit us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
We were very comfortable in the condo! Only problem we encountered was the spatula that we needed to turn eggs over easy was broke so it messed up my eggs! Also I needed a whisk to make gravy without lumps! Not really anything bad just not home!
The condo was exactly as pictured. It was quite dated.
The tile in the bathroom was old and the grout had black mold growing on it. I purchased a scrub brush and tile cleaner, but it was impossible to get clean. The shower doors also had mold growing on the gaskets. The grout and the shower doors need to be replaced.

Cheryl, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We appreciate your feedback on the condition of the bathroom, and we'll be sure to discuss it with the owner. We hope to welcome you back for a better experience in the future. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
This condo is in a gated community. I felt very safe. I am so thankful we choose this condo. The beach is only a few steps away. You can see the pool and hot tub from the balcony. I could watch my teenagers in the hot tub, while sitting on the balcony. They also have a beautiful view of the ocean. The on-site gym also was great.
Across the street there are outlet stores, a grocery store and lots of restaurants to choose from. We found the condo to be very clean. I did not see any tile issues another guest reported. Perhaps the tile was fixed after their stay.
I am glad we choose this condo. We drove by others we has looked at. This is the only condo that was directly on the beach. Other condos you had to cross the road to get to the beach. The beach is beautiful. Crystal clear blue water and white sand. We loved your condo. Thanks for sharing it with our family!

Allister, Thank you for your 5-star review! We're glad you felt safe in the gated community and enjoyed the condo's great location. We hope to welcome you back again soon! Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
To start, we did not book this condo, but were moved here by property manager (RealJoy) as there was construction where we originally chose. Had the listing shown updated photos (not when it was built), we would NOT have chosen this condo. The overall condition is in serious need of repairs, updating, etc. The mold on the tile in bathrooms, dirty grout everywhere (you can see original color), bugs in kitchen sink that showed up each morning, Shower heads that do not work, broken tile, rotting door frames, original mattresses, couches that we were not comfortable sitting on. We left 3 days (2 nights) early to cut our losses.

Jennifer, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. We regret that you left your vacation early; however, your experience was not at this property. While this was the property you originally chose, this unit was out of service due to exterior building maintenance. This condo has had many upgrades over the last 12 months and we invite you to choose it again next time you visit our beautiful beaches. We think you'll be very pleased. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Property problems
It was a little stressful..
Day one..WFI..that was resolved fairly quickly..
Mon/tues there was jackhammers in the condo above starting 8:00am..off & on all day.
Mon am there was an inch or water in condo hall and front bedroom..we mopped up twice and then finally someone came in the afternoon, cut a hole in drywall and fixed the leak..the mess and wet towels remained there the rest of the week..
The condo definitely needs updated..with new decor and more comfortable furniture ..
The master bathroom shower doors were rusty and fell off the tracks easily..
I really think we need a partial refund … due to the problems…

Pam, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We are sorry that the construction was not what you were expecting. The listing clearly states, "*Mainsail Condominiums is currently undergoing roofing work through Winter 2023. Occupants of all Mainsail Buildings may hear construction noise during the work hours of 8-5." Additionally, the rate you were given was discounted to reflect the inconvenience of the work during your stay. The leak has been fixed and the shower door replaced. We hope you were able to enjoy some time on our beautiful beaches and had a safe trip home. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
