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!

Met with family for family reunion. Plenty of room for kids to play upstairs and adults to talk together downstairs.. Kids loved the pool and even enjoyed it with outside temperatures of 55 degrees. This was a great place for a large group.

The house was absolutely perfect for us…lots of open space for the family to convene, sitting areas with televisions on each floor and in each bedroom! We also loved the large, comfy bedrooms with 7 bathrooms. The kitchen and pool were our favorite hangout spots! Best of all was the super short bike ride or walk to the beach! We truly enjoyed our visit! We’ll definitely be back soon!

Me and 11 girlfriends stayed here and it was so great! The pool was great and the house was perfectly located less than 5 mins from the beach. We did encounter 1 cockroach which I know is to be expected down south so jt wasn’t a huge deal. Overall house was very clean and comfortable

Our guests enjoyed the stay at the property. There was plenty of room to spread out. Kitchen large enough to cook for 17 and enjoying dining together. Since it was March we had to pool heated and it was the perfect temperature. We had a few issues with a leaking shower and a gas tank but the management team sent someone out right away. We appreciate the great communication with the team. Definitely would stay there again.

My friends and I had the best time at our stay at Fins Up last weekend! The house was gorgeous, cozy, huge, and exceeded all of our expectations! Everything was so clean, plenty of rooms and bathrooms for all. Each guest almost had their own bathroom. We loved the loft area on the second floor and the gaming loft area on the third floor. It was perfect for late night hang outs.The back yard/ patio area was so nice. There was plenty of space for all us to lay out and hang by the pool. The heated pool was fabulous and a must if you stay! We loved being able to see the beach from the second and third floor, just a block away. We needed assistance turning on the heated pool and Real Joy was just a text away and it was on in no time. We enjoyed our stay so much and can’t wait to come back and explore more!

The house accommodated our family of 18. We enjoyed our nightly walks to the beach to watch the sunset. The floors needed to be mopped because our socks became dirty just walking though the house on the first day. On the first night there was sand in one bed on the third floor and dead bugs were found in one bed on the second floor. When we went to use the gas grill the battery was dead in the grill igniter. We would consider renting this house in the future due to its space and location.

The house was perfect for our extended family of 18. Enough seating for meals and space to spread out. The bikes that come with the property need a bit of service/repair, but other then that, we were very pleased with this property.

This property was the perfect space to host a bachelorette trip and very close to the beach. There were a few items to note for the property manager: many of the games in the console in the living room were missing pieces, there were many Tupperware lids but no bowls to match in the kitchen, the cookware pan handles were almost falling off, the cleaning crew did not complete until after 4, there wasn’t any dish soap or dishwasher detergent in the kitchen and the pool was full of leaves/dirt. We looked for a net but there wasn’t one on property. Overall, great stay but these are a few things to make it even better for the next guest.

The property was as advertised. Spacious and close to the beach. The kitchen was stocked well and the kids loved the pool.

Great 3 level rental however only one bedroom with full bath on first floor.remaing rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floor. Make sure guest are fit to climb the stairs and climb onto the top bunks if counting upper bunks as sleeping arrangement. Overall great place to stay for with multiple generations. Pool, gameroom, and balconies were fun and relaxing. Looking forward to staying at Fins Up again in the future.

I celebrated my bachelorette weekend with my friends and family, we had an amazing time at this house & zero issues! Would definitely recommend this place, & also SO close to the beach!

The home was very well laid out for everyone to enjoy and relax. The only issues we had was there was no remote for second floor tv, the bikes that was on site was rusted out on handle bars and chair so we could ride, and refrigerator took a day to cool and make ice.

Great house for our group of 15
We were pleased with the cleanliness and open feel to this home. Kitchen was well supplied with plates, cookware and utensils. A quiet street and plenty of areas for play and visiting. Loved the wine/beer frig on 1st and 2nd floors. Appliances do need to be checked as dryer was too slow and broiler did not work in oven. Number of towels and initial supplies were generous and appreciated. It may be helpful to supply information regarding suggested beach areas as we were surprised to find some beach areas labeled “private”. Overall a great stay!

It’s impossible to get in touch with the host. We wanted our pool to be heated. They never responded to our request. Our trash cans had no bags in them. Worst part of the stay was that there was sign yelling at your face with stupid rules. They expect you to strip the beds at the check out yet they charge high cleaning fees when you book with them. Who would want to strip the linen and towles when on vacation? There are plenty of choices in destin. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. HOST IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!

Great location, only a short walk to the beach. Enjoyed using the bikes that were provided. Spacious house, kitchen adequately stocked for cooking needs. Back yard space good.

Met expectations. Great location. The only things I suggest are getting a vacuum of some sort to do a better job at picking up sand on the floors. It was hard to sweep with a broom. Also, some of the drains didn’t drain well (1st and 2nd floor stand-alone bathrooms). Signed up to have pool heated and it wasn’t upon arrival. We called after a couple days and said something. It took a couple trips out to get it figured out, but thankful we had it part of the week. Otherwise, great place, location, and service.

Great experience. Very close to the beach. House was great and housed 17 - 10 adults and 7 kids. Kitchen held up to large family dinners. Property management company was solid and responsive when we touched base, including dropping off a fresh propane tank in minutes. Good stay.

Location & space of house were excellent. Customer service from Real Joy outstanding!! Downside: for the price we paid for this property, the mattresses and pillows were horrible! Desperately needing an upgrade. Or request customers to bring their own pillows. Also, customers need to bring their own blankets: we froze! Not enough blankets in the house for our size group. Also, customers need to bring toilet paper, cleaning supplies (none in the house), dish soap. If customers like to cook as we did, also need to bring your own storage containers and extra cooking pots/pans and bowls. Kitchen was great for space but lacking in supplies. Overall a great experience. But would’ve liked more info in what was/was not available in the house.

We loved this home! We had 4 families - each set of parents had a master and the kids had the whole 3rd floor with both a girls room and a boys room. The walk to the beach was short - 5 min max. The outdoor space was great too. House was spacious and comfortable for our group of 17.

Loved the property ! Ownershould consider equipping it better for the number of guests it can accommodate. More serving dishes and cookware as examples. Loved the balconies but they lack seating. Fix the ice maker and ditch the portables - the ice melts immediately. Again beautiful property - needs a few things to make it more comfortable.

This house has the perfect setup for a large group and multiple families. The third floor is perfect for a bunch of kids with plenty of space and games. Second floor has large rooms and bathrooms for 3 sets of adults. Large living/kitchen room spaces and the oversized dining table was so nice to have for this group. Such an easy walk to the beach. Be aware that there are small public beach access that gets very crowded. We set up tents at about 6AM to get good spots. Having the pool was a huge bonus for our group. Our only complaint was failure to respond when we had issues. The ice maker never worked and one of the main showers would not drain and ended up leaking into the kitchen. If these things had been fixed or addressed during our stay then we would give the property 5 stars.

Beautiful home...only about a 3 min walk to beach. The public beach area closest to the home however is very small. The condos have all the beach " private" space on the beach so the beachhome renters are all piled in a 15 ft wide section of public beach...not properties fault but fyi. The ac was stuck on Celsius not Fahrenheit, even though several knowledgeable men tried to set it to Fahrenheit. I couldn't find check out procedures because I chose " already left" on one of the emails. I should have chosen " check out early" then maybe I would have received the checkout/ clean up procedures before we actually left. Those were the only small issues. Overall it was an excellent experience...we would definitely rent again. The brzee bungalow was wonderful. We had 18 people and plenty of room. Great memories made!!
