Ariel Dunes offers 24 stories of amazing views that span the sugar white sands and emerald green water of the coastline. The building is angled slightly to the west, and the sunsets are incredible! From the rear of the building, you get a bird's eye view of the lush Seascape Golf Course, and the sparkling Choctawhatchee Bay.

Seascape Resort encompasses over 3 hundred acres of lush greens, serene lakes and 2000 feet of pristine white sand beach. Soak in the views of the gulf without all the traffic noise. Ariel Dunes I is set back into the resort, and is a quieter alternative, giving you a break from seasonal traffic noise but close enough for you to drink in the sights and sounds of Destin's famous beaches. Take a relaxing stroll to the beach and feel your cares melt away!

Ariel Dunes I offers a state of the art fitness center, along with a 12,000sf pool featuring a zero entry, with a spacious deck for lounging and catching some rays before hitting the beach. Kids will love splashing around in the mushroom fountain!

The spectacular resort amenities include 2000 linear feet of easily accessible beach with chair and umbrella rentals, on-site golf, on-site pools (two are seasonally heated), tennis, watersport rentals, bike rentals and several restaurants, including the famous Whales' Tail, which features live bands.

Check out Seascape Towne Center located within the Seascape Resort! Featuring shopping, dining, and entertainment, this is a 55,000sf lakeside development designed for the whole family. Your kids will love the outdoor adventure park including a ropes course, you’ll love the unique dining, nightlife and live music venues. With the large events plaza and arcade with laser tag, there’s really no need to step off the resort once you arrive!

Area Attractions:

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!

The property was in good shape but not clean. The main shower had black mold and the other shower had a moldy curtain. The floors were dirty. All our feet were black on the bottom on the first night. Unfortunately, there were some folks who didn't adhere to the quiet after 10pm rule as well.

Many Positives with a Few Negatives

For not being on the ocean the view was great. Convenient location. The condo was clean and spacious for 4 adults. Great balcony that connects to both the main bedroom and the family room. Some minor repairs are needed along with upgrading a few things (sent a list to the property manager) to improve this condo from good to great.

Amazing stay!

Most beautiful place I’ve stayed in Destin! Beautiful views and in the heart of it all. Close to the stores, gas stations and food! I was super pleased with how they had everything you need in the kitchen, I didn’t even need to bring my handheld blender to make a cake lol the decor is amazing and it was super comfy. The only problem I had was with communication with the property at times during this pandemic. The kids absolutely fell in love. Thanks for an amazing stay!

Good location - very dirty condo

The bed sheets hadn’t been cleaned or changed. There was sand in both beds and blood in one of them. The sink had food left in it. And the trash hadn’t been taking out. Also, 2 of the 4 elevators did not work. Great location and great view.

First stay in Destin/Miramar

Unit 2009 was unsanitary and not well cleaned!!! When we arrived the all of floors felt damp and sandy. The master bedroom smelled damp or moldy I couldn’t really figure the odor out. All of the beds looked clean cut but after sleeping in them the first night we realized that there was sand on the sheets. Also there was mildew/mold in the walk-in showers in the master bath. There was also some drilling or some sort of repair being done either in the room above us or next door that would start around 8 am every day so if we wanted to sleep in it was impossible! I placed a call and emailed rental management regarding the mold in the shower the second day and only received reply’s requesting where the problem was and photos and the issue was not addressed until the third day of our 5 day stay. I called on the third day and was told they were waiting on photos, but why was photos and location needed when the email and voicemail stated the exact issues me location!! It was just there way of delaying the solution so there was no need to request any other services because by the time they would send someone to address the issue our stay would have been over. I also forgot to mention the air conditioner would not go below 74 degrees. There was a sign posted above the thermostat that stated to leave the temperature a no lower than 70 but we never got the temperature to 70. While on the elevator we met several guest that stated there rooms were hot and the air didn’t properly. Although this property left a bad impression for our first visit to Destin we enjoyed the area and the beach. I definitely would not recommend this property to anyone! And if you are reading this review stay clear especially from unit 2009!

It was OK

Overall it was OK. I wish they would provide coffee starters, and other condiments so you don’t have run to the store and buy those things right away. Also wish it was cleaner. It looked clean “on surface” but small random rugs scattered throughout the apartment were dirty as hell. Would recommend getting rid of them completely. Also floors need some “deep” cleaning. Even those there are tiles everywhere they need to steam clean and sanitize. As other reviewers reported your socks will be very dirty. We didn’t walk around barefoot at all. Just didn’t have that clean feel. And the coffee, tea, sugar, cream, salt and pepper - it’s a convenience request but I’m sure most would appreciate it.

Hurricane and no refund

The condo was great. They RealJoy group was the worst rental group I’ve ever dealt with. We couldn’t cancel because of the hurricane or move the dates and the place had lost power because of the hurricane and all the amenities were not accessible. The pools were closed till the last day, I reached out to them and the response was lack luster at best. The was no cable the whole time and all the restaurants in the area were closed. So we really only got to enjoy one day. I would recommend everyone stay away from “real joy “and that the owner of this unit look for another leasing company.
