Seaside is a fantastic destination, most widely known for being featured in the Truman Show with Jim Carrey. Its incredible architecture has helped to make it famous but also its faithful replication of the kind of seaside town that used to be common up and down the coast. Seaside has its own Farmer's Market, post office, Repertory Theater and neighborhood school. It boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine and the incredible architecture that makes Seaside famous, There are activities for everyone; kayak rentals, bike rentals, paragliding, fishing, golfing, hiking, swimming, tennis -- you'll find it all right here.

The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 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!

Amazing Family Getaway

We truly enjoyed our stay in this property. The location is excellent. The pool is a nicely sized community pool for vacationers with kids. The rooms were spacious. The kitchen by far is AMAZING! I highly recommend this property. The vacation company is super attentive and will give great tips for the area.

WE LOVED EVERY MINUTE! The condo was beautiful!

We loved how spacious the living and kitchen space was for our down time. But we were mostly out and about enjoying the huge pool and bike trails. Everything was in walking or biking distance- which we love! It was a stress free vacation for sure! (And I have 3 boys under 4). We will definitely book again with Real Joy!

Beautiful home, great location

We had a great time at Chalet Mer. Home is nicely furnished, clean and is located just a brief drive to the beach. Pool area was great. The kitchen is stocked with very basic items . We made dinner 3 nights and had limited cooking utensils and cookware. We made it work but would be nice to have some smaller pots :)

Very Noce

The home is lovely. We had 6 adults and 4 small children. The living room and kitchen are our favorite. The internet is terrible. We know because the weather was not on our side. The pool area is Gorgous. It has an outdoor kitchen and covered patio. Perfect for rainy pool days. The property is steps from the pool. Toilet paper isn’t good. But I’d still rent again.

Nice House but...............

from 7:00 am to 6:00 Pm there was construction on both sides of our Rental . Not a word from anybody prior to our stay -shame on me for not researching it better , but this information should be made available prior to spending alot of money listening to hammers and saws every morning -real nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not- adding insult to injury the Gas grills at the pool stop working while we were using them .

Enjoyed our stay, but...

We enjoyed our stay but felt like we might make a few suggestions on how to get that 5 star rating. It would be helpful to alert people that there is construction in progress, including the two homes on either side of this property. While the home appears to be brand new, is tidy and cozy, and is close to the pool, the kitchen is not adequately equipped (i.e. very few plates, pots, pans, etc.) and there is no dining room or kitchen table, which made mealtime a challenge. The furniture was modern and comfortable however it was sparse in the bedrooms with no dressers and only one bedside table and lamp. All and all a really good house that could be great with a few tweaks.

Essentials Missing

This is a lovely, well-maintained home but it is very poorly stocked. There were so few microwave dishes that we had to purchase our own paper plates. The kitchen was nearly devoid of kitchen tools that I consider standard (lighter, scissors, etc.) and we keep running into situations where we didn't have what we needed. Especially with the current pandemic, this is NOT the home to book if you plan to eat your meals in.

Cute townhouse...Great location

I would have given this property 5 stars, but due to a few issues I couldn't. First the property is in a great location. If you rent a golf cart you can get to so many places easily. Secondly the linen was not the cleanest, the ceiling fans had thick layers of dust, and the grounds needed some maintaing (landscaping lights not working and there wasn't an outdoor light on the pool side where they have chairs located). Lastly the home is located in a really nice community that has vacationers and full time residents, and there is a community pool with grilling area and hot tub! On our second day we went to the pool around 11AM, when we got there other residents informed us that someone defected in the pool. The pool was closed the entire rest of our stay because noone came to handle the situation. Although it is not the fault of the Property Management company, it does not reflect well on the company due to noncummunication with the the actual management of the community.
