AREA ATTRACTIONS: 

Highland Parks is the newest neighborhood in Blue Mountain Beach featuring a fantastic neighborhood pool with a waterfall, hot tub, gazebo, fire pit, snack bar, and observation tower. The area is the highest point in South Walton County and surrounded by great eateries and local eclectic shops. Highland Parks is perfectly situated between Redfish Village and Gulf Place Town Center on Hwy 30A! Enjoy dining at local favorites The Perfect Pig, Red Door, Local Catch, or Basmati's. Check out the local art scene at Justin Gaffery’s art gallery.

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.

Bike over to Blue Mountain Beach Creamery for some homemade scoops that will have your taste buds coming back! You'll have an array of dining options to choose from!

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.

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.

Nice home just a quick ride to the beach
This home was nicely decorated and central to many great beaches if you wanted to drive or a quick golf cart or bike ride to blue mountain beach. The only thing we would have preferred was a better stocked kitchen (ie cooking utensils) if you are planning on eating in.

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.

Amazing House, Not So Great Rental Agency
Overall, the house was great. It’s to the pool and has a well-stocked kitchen. We also loved the openness of the living/kitchen area. The neighborhood was quiet and the pool was a great place to wind down after the beach. Cons: The A/C upstairs was LOUD. Every time it clicked on, it woke me up as I was sleeping in one of the upstairs bedrooms. If you’re a light sleeper like me, that might be an issue. Also, no ceiling fans or TVs in the upstairs bedrooms. Would have been nice to have a tv upstairs for the evenings and rainy days. We had a major issue with a maintenance worker from RealJoy walking in to the house unannounced twice in one afternoon. We got no notification from RealJoy whatsoever. We were on an all girls trip and I can tell you that this completely robbed us of our sense of safety and privacy. To have a man in our kitchen when we arrived back from the beach and for him to again walk in unannounced as one girl was about to get in the shower is completely unprofessional and inappropriate. RealJoy offered nothing but an insincere apology when we called to make them aware of the issue. If I had to do it over again, I would avoid RealJoy and book with a different property management company.

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.

This unit is was great. Clean, new, open, room for 2 full families (6 total kids under 4). The pool area is amazing with TV and grills! We biked at TopSail state park (5 min drive), we biked at SeaSide and Watercolors (5 min drive), we ate at RedBar and got ice cream the Blue Mountain Creamery. Wonderful Vacation!

The house was beautiful. We will be back!
The location of the property was great. As far as the construction in the area, we did not find it to be a problem. New properties going up nearby but not next door. While the kitchen was mostly stocked we found that there was not enough variety of saucepans for cooking. Done of the dishes were not clean. The grill at the pool is a nice benefit, however the property did not have grilling utensils which made it a little difficult. Lastly, the coffee pot did not come with disposable filters - we bought a bag of 200 so there should be donevthere for the next family. Speaking of coffee, it would have been nice to sit on the front patio with a cup of coffee, however the property does not have any outside patio furniture. In case you are wondering, there is not a back patio/deck and you really can’t see the pool from your windows. The beds were very comfortable as was the furniture. We enjoyed the Smart TV and the kids loved playing on the Wii. Since you are not allowed to hang towels outside on the railing, a place to hang the wet/sandy beach towels outside would be helpful. Use of the Fun Pass was not beneficial as the rental places are pretty far away. Overall a beautiful home that we will rent again.
