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!

Family & Friends Graduation Vacation
We were excited to stay at this property with our family and friends because we had stayed at the little house next door 2 years ago with friends and that property was phenomenal. Walking on Sunshine is an older home and easily accommodated our group but it wasn't quite as the pictures on the VRBO site portrayed. If you book this property just know, it is older and some issues could pop up. With all that being said, this property accommodates large groups comfortably and we definitely enjoyed our vacation. You are close to the beach and the little pool is great if you don't want to go all the way to the beach or if you have little ones. The RealJoy staff were helpful and great to work with.

Family vacation 2024
The property was outstanding and exactly the space we needed for our family. The weather, beaches and ocean was excellent. We did experience a couple of issues during our stay and they were resolved immediately. Definitely would choose this location and property again.

Multiple units in one
A lot of room to spread out but beware that it’s a bit dated. Clean and has a decent size pool for the area.

Great vacation location
We loved the extra carriage house for extra guest. Having separate floors with kitchens accommodated families traveling together and provided private areas. Issues that arose were taken care of in a very timely manner. The pool was small but perfect for our group (we had 13 people traveling together). Location was excellent: access to beach, restaurants, shops. Deck area could use updating: painting and completion of installation of deck boards. Overall, I highly recommend staying here, and I would do so again.

Great location 👌
Great home for a large family, very spacious, pool house was a bonus, walking distance to shops and beach. The back area near the pool and patio could use some revamping but overall the home was nice.

Great location
Overall we had a great time! The house definitely needs some attention especially on the outside! The decking around the pool is in really bad shape. There are rotted, loose and broken boards. The inside of the house was okay but not perfect. The sofa on the second floor is coming apart at the seam on the back right side. They also need to pay a little bit more attention when cleaning. It would be nice if they had kitchen towels and dish soap in both kitchens. The house was a great size for our group, everyone had their own space so that was nice! The stairs get tiring fast though! Lol Realjoy was great when we had to reach out to them, I would definitely rent another property managed by them!

Wonderful Week
This is an older property with some maintenance issues. RealJoy was wonderful and responded to most issues in a timely manner. But all considered it was a great place for our large family. The back yard pool was great. There was plenty of deck space. The carriage house was a major plus for the grandparents. The kitchens were well equipped and there was plenty of storage. We really liked the parking spots for four vans/SUVs. There was confusion with the beach access, wrist bands and threat of police wanting to see our bands. Maybe that was just for the holiday weekend, but an aggravation for older folks with mobility issues. But we had a wonderful week with great beach weather and family that could spread out AND be close in the same house.
