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!

Ultimate Beach Vacation
We had to change our plans to stay near Tampa because of the hurricanes, and the Destin/Miramar Beach area was highly recommended. We had never been there before, but after reading the Happy Place description and reviews and looking at the pictures, we decided to try it. We were not disappointed. The house was in a perfect location for us to walk to and from the beach every day. The sunsets, sunrises and daytime experiences on the beach were phenomenal! The house is beautiful and equipped as described. We also enjoyed being in between Seaside and Destin and drove to these locations and along 30A often. Shopping was easy to access for groceries and beach supplies. The house accommodated our family perfectly! Everyone said it would be a place we would like to visit again. Thank you for helping us to have the ultimate beach vacation!

Great location!
Great location! The private beach access was great! We rented a golf cart for easy access to get around. I wish I would have understood what was included in the starter pack so I could have been better prepared. There were no hot pads in the kitchen which was inconvenient when cooking. The propane tank on the grill was less than half full, the igniter didn’t work had to manually light it, and the knobs were falling off. Other than that, it was a great location and would stay here again!

Spacious & comfortable house
We were impressed with how spacious & clean the home was. As we opened the front door we were greeted with soft jazz music which was a nice touch. Loved that this home came with two Master Suites. There were plenty of kitchen utensils & amenities provided. The beds were very comfortable. Would have been nice if all the rooms had room darkening curtains. It was nice to have a private beach entrance across the street about a 3-5 mts walk. My family enjoyed the restaurants and Destin’s beautiful beaches. Would definitely stay at My Happy Place again.

Beautiful and Spacious!
My first impression of the home was that there is so much room! Every room was easy to move around in, even the bathrooms and closets. It smelled like new. It was the perfect size for our party of 8. Conveniently located near a coffee shop, restaurant, and surf shop.I wish the street the house was on had sidewalks. The area is busy, so we had to step into yards and driveways when there was traffic until we could get to the main road. I suggest bringing extra soap and toilet paper.

Exceeded all expectations
The property was beautiful, clean, and fully equipped to accommodate the 5 couples in our group for our weekend stay. The property is in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood and provides easy access to all local shopping and dining destinations and private beach access was just a short walk away. The check-in/out process was incredibly easy and we felt like all of our needs were met for the duration of our stay. 10/10 recommend!

Great home, location if you want Miramar~ but no comp from Real Joy, for Non working Dryer all week
Love the home, disappointed that homeowner only refunded $200 for no dryer ( meaning no washer usable without dryer !) We waited around all week for promised technician for dryer fix... no one came, all week. We missed much of our vacation... Real Joy doesn't make much from rental evidentally ~ so they refunded nothing 😳 Their help staff was great, management said, " Sorry! Homeowner only refunding $200".

How is large and beautiful
The house was very nice. The hardwood floors which are throughout the entire home were dirty. The bottom of our feet were black from walking on them barefoot. The lighting in the bathrooms is very poor and not conducive to applying makeup. There was what appeared to be mud splattered on the wall in the dining room. I washed it and it did clean up. There was something blue and very sticky on the floor at the top of the stair landing that I also had to wash up. The dryer does not work well. It took forever to dry clothes and towels. I disagree with not supplying beach towels as that’s just something that renters should not have to pack or purchase. I also disagree with the very limited supply of cheap toilet paper! I also feel that you should supply dishwashing detergent (more than 2) when a person rents for more than two days. It’s crazy that we had to buy and leave a full pack of detergent so that we could do dishes more than twice. For the money, these things should be provided.

A Short Walk to Beach & Pool
Every year my family and I rent a house in different locations, and this year we chose Destin. I'm not sure what the maids did to clean- my bed wasn't made and there were crumbs on the carpets. The kitchen was lacking utensils, we didn't even have a pan. The barbeque was filthy with grease- we tried starting it and it lit on fire! Issues are resolved when you call, so people came to clean it and bring pans. The microwave doesn't work so there's a second microwave on the counter. There were a lot of homes that had golf carts but this one didn't, so the walk to the beach was okay, but it would've been convenient to have. The pool was nice too, but again a little walk. There were a lot of house rules, you can't turn the thermostat under 70. But there were no fans provided either. Ironing boards but no irons. Besides that, the rooms were good sizes, the setup was nearly perfect for the family- every bedroom basically had its own bathroom. Photos don't do it justice, the ceilings are high and everything feels spacious. If asked to stay here again, I may personally pass but find another rental in the neighborhood because it was nice!

Great Vacation Home
Property was spacious and clean. Furniture and TV were nice. Very limited on baking and cooking tools and pans. For example, there was no cookie sheet. There was something in the description that gave the impression we were within a fairly easy walk to the beach. But, Miami St. gate was not open to us and we needed to walk another block down to Hollywood St. Long walk just getting to Scenic Drive. The bunk bed room sleeping was difficult for larger adult children. Might be fine for little kids, but quite uncomfortable otherwise. We enjoyed our stay but wanted to provide valuable feedback. Thanks.

FANTASTIC
Fabulous vacation home! We had 8 adults and 4 kids in our group and had PLENTY of room! House was very clean and well taken care of. The walk to beach access was a bit longer than we had expected, but manageable. Carrying chairs, boogie boards, ice chests, etc was a tad complicate, but would NOT hinder us from staying her again! If you plan on cooking or meal prepping for lunch, we would highly recommend picking up a few staples on your first grocery trip such as paper towels, toilet paper, dishwashing tabs (only 3 provided) and trash bags(only 3 provided). Overall, it was PERFECT for our "framily" trip!

Wonderful Visit
Our family of 7 stayed at this property for 5 days, and it was beautiful. It was spacious and had plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The kitchen and living area are much larger than they appear in photos. It was about a 0.4 mile walk to the beach, which was a bit more than we were expecting. But, the beach was beautiful with perfectly clear water. The only complaint that we would have was that there was minimal toilet paper, no trash bags, and there were no beach chairs to take with you. It was a great property, but you should bring those things with you! We will definitely be back!

Great Time on the Emerald Coast
This was our first time in Destin and the property we stayed at was perfect for our family. We had eleven family members and the layout could not have been better for the group. Our check-in was a briefly delayed due to a computer glitch but other than that the house was great. The houses on either side of us were college kid groups. The house directly to the south was very close but the group was quiet and nice. The group to the north got loud and obnoxious with graphic language but shortly after it started someone shut them down like right now. I was VERY happy to see that kind of behavior was not tolerated and we didn't have any further problems. There were a couple of maintenance items that being minor didn't need to be taken care of right away, but would be good for the next guest. The walk to the beach is not that bad. We used a couple of collapsible wagons to haul gear to the beach. It would be more convenient to be able to use the Miami St gate to the beach than the Hollywood St gate, however. All in all, a very nice property!
