Located in the heart of Miramar Beach, this community is just minutes from the sugar white sands, close to favorite local restaurants, and nearby some of the best shopping in the area. This lovely neighborhood is practically next door to the Seascape Golf Resort, which offers tee times to members of the public and has superior tennis facilities. Wander down the beach to the Whale's Tail or Surf Hut for a bite, take a dip in the lovely community pool, or catch some rays on the sugar white beaches.

*Max 4 vehicles allowed in the driveway.

Area Attractions:

Penelope Palms is located only half a mile from the Silver Sands Outlet Centers and is convenient to both the action in Destin and Grand Boulevard Towne Center with incredible eateries, upscale shopping and a park with pop up fountains at its center.

Grand Boulevard Town Center is a pedestrian-friendly, shopping and dining complex just off Emerald Coast Parkway, convenient to both SanDestin and Miramar Beach. For the high-end shopper, the center offers everything from Fusion Art Glass Gallery to Brooks Brothers Country Club. A number of boutiques, such as Hello, Sunshine and Magnolia House, carry fare you can't find anywhere else. Dining options include Mitchell's Fish Market, P. F. Chang's China Bistro, and Cantina Laredo Gourmet Mexican Food. In 2013, Walton County’s first movie theater opened at Grand Boulevard’s Town Center – the state-of-the-art Boulevard 10 Movie Theater.

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!

Great Stay
Very nice property. Quiet neighborhood. Stayed here with adults and children. Loved the backyard for the kids. Easy access to public beach. Would recommend the private beach access- public can get crowded. Easy to shopping- restaurants. Only issue was dryer- poor drying and would not shut off. Golf cart was a plus except issue with lights at night. Let the property manager know about the issues I’m sure they will address them. I would recommend this property to all and will look forward to booking again.

Spring Break
House overall was good. We had trouble with the freezer leaking because the fridge doors weren't latching - they responded quickly when we called and were excellent to work with. We had to contact them for the golf cart key code and there was barely any gas in it (we left it full). There were some minor things broken which we pointed out when property mgr was there. Shower in the main floor bath leaks (looks like the seal doesn't go all the way along the glass door). There were some light bulbs out. Propane tank in the fire pit was empty. The rooms all had a fan/white noise which was a nice touch. Walk to the beach was not far, wish we'd known there were beach chairs (they were better than ours, we wouldn't have hauled ours from MI had we known). Liked having the small fridge in the garage, it was helpful. There may have been a smoker at some point, it was subtle however (no one else noticed). The teens loved playing the corn hole game and visited the pool often (wish it was open later than 8PM). It was nice to have food choices (& shopping) close and 2 restaurants right on the beach!

Perfect
The property was perfect for our extended family. Plenty of cookware, dishes, and entertainment opportunities both at the property and in the community. The only issue was the heating element in the dryer did not work so clothes did not dry in the dryer.

Penelope Palms - nice place
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. House was clean and in nice shape. It was about the right amount of space for 10 (4 adults, 5 teens, and one 5yr old)...located on a cul-de-sac that was pretty quiet. Hollywood Drive beach entrance is a 10-15 ish min walk...golf cart was great for hauling the gear and younger kid...we mainly hung out at the beach near the Hollywood Drive private entrance...closest parking for the cart after dropping everyone off is near Pompano Joe's, which is a 10 min walk via the beach. Parking in the public lot can be a bit of a cluster...people please know you can fit two golf carts in one parking spot! Washer and Dryer seemed to maybe need a tune up? Freezer leaked a bit (defrost drain is plugged?). RealJoy property managers were very quick to respond to any questions we had.

We love the house and layout. We had a few glitches with the dryer but someone was sent out the same day to fix it. Overall we had a great stay! We definitely utilized the golf cart...the walk was a bit far with small children. Very clean!

Great house with a great location
This property was a great place to make memories with my family. The house was in great shape. We had a problem with the gas grill, we called and they brought out a brand new one the next morning! They were prompt on any questions or concerns. The beach was beautiful for all ages. The neighborhood was quite which made sitting in the back yard relaxing great. I will definitely use this property again.

Perfect for our group.
Great location in Miramar Beach. Perfect house for our group. 4 adults and 2 teenage boys. We were able to hang all together comfortably in the living room. Very nice fenced in back yard. Kitchen had most everything we needed. The toaster didn't work, but not a big deal. I would definitely recommend renting the golf cart. We only had to use our cars a few times during the week. We pretty much went everywhere on the golf cart. There is a lot of construction in the neighborhood, but we were never disturbed by any of it. We didn't hear anything even while sitting on the back patio. The pool was hard to find. There were several guests in the neighborhood with the ssme issue. A construction worker is who was finally able to direct us to it. Private beach entrance...3 blocks away, no restroom, no parking., rental company had all front row chairs. Public beach...short ride on the golf cart, parking, restrooms., you can set up wherever you want. Both upstairs king beds were very uncomfortable. The freezer was leaking the entire time. I contacted the property managers when we arrived but never received a response regarding the leak. We had to keep a towel on the floor the entire time. Someone entered the home while we were away and left extra bedding on the downstairs bed. Nobody contacted me before or after to tell me they were coming. We did not request extra bedding, so I have no idea why they came. Even with the few complaints, we had a fantas

Nice Place
Nice place. Lots of space. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, cooking utensils, coffee maker, etc. (even a pod coffee maker). We brought the other essentials (more toilet paper, soap, dishwashing soap, paper towels, etc.). Management was quick to respond when we needed them. Golf cart was a great add on, we used it everyday. Lots of beach chairs and some toys for the kids. Beach wagon was nice to have. Walking to and from the beach was not bad (some of our family chose to do it). Would rent this house again.

Not as good as our first stay but still good
Our stay this time around had some distinct differences. The house wasn't as clean as the first time, and we spent time thoroughly cleaning the house upon arrival. The minor details stood out the most, as the house smelled like a damp rag in the kitchen, and the wall Febreeze air fresheners were all empty. The dishwasher had a horrible smell, as if someone left dirty dishes for an extended period (like days) before running the unit. The wifi router had was disconnected, which we reconnected with little problem. Overall I would still very much recommend the home for a family or group. The location is close enough to the beach yet far enough to avoid the commotion all day long with traffic. The golf cart was a nice perk. The exterior of the property is very well maintained. My advice to the property owners is to find a new cleaning company. One that pays attention to detail and ensures the home is cleaned thoroughly between guests.

Beautiful home!! A few issues, adjustments needed!!
We thought the house was really beautiful; we loved the space of the rooms and closet and restrooms. However. , We did have a rough start. The following are items that we had issues with: -Several outlets do not work- upstairs and downstairs -Dishwasher did not dispense the soap, -Toaster, only one side works -Roaches/water bugs and ants were a problem, we found them for about 3 days, we did call and pest control came out -AC didn’t work the first day -Communication to address problems with the property manager/owner was extremely difficult and frustrating, we were on hold every time we called -We had to buy the basic stuff, sponge to wash dishes, trash bags, only 2 were provided, same with toilet paper -no directions of golf cart key, Had to call for that and was on hold for a while -toilet paper handle in main restroom is broken -patio door knob came out from the outside, it had some type of plastic holding it in -no dust pan and no vacuum -living rug needs to be cleaned, I think previous guests had a big dog, lots of dog hair Lastly and our biggest complaint, we arrived pretty early last Saturday, we Tried to check in early, as we always have in the past in the 7 years we’ve been vacationing here, but were told that work needed to be done until 4pm. We then asked if we could leave our stuff in garage and they didn’t let us, because they said work was being done in there too. We know that nothing was done and it was just an excuse not to allow early check in, because they would have noticed the AC issue upstairs and that could have been resolved in that time while we waited instead of 9pm when it finally cooled off upstairs. We just hope that this helps you guys make some adjustments for the next guest. Thank you.
