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!

Beautiful condo with amazing views!

The condo was perfect for our stay there with friends. All three bedrooms had very comfortable beds and each had their own bath. The patio was a wonderful space to view the gorgeous beaches. Unfortunately it was very windy while we were there and there was an issue with bugs on the patio late afternoon to evening. So we didn’t get to use it near as much as we had hoped. There were beach chairs available for us to use, along with a beach wagon which was very nice. However we were disappointed that the rules for the private beach do not allow you to use sunshades. We have never stayed anywhere before where they were forbidden. So unfortunately we couldn’t spend as much time on the beach as we would’ve liked without Shade. Also the heated pool was very cold for March. Hardly anyone was in the pool during our stay. But had it been warm enough, the pools are large and would be a lovely place to hang out if you were tired of the beach. They do a rule that you can not play any music out loud at the pool which was also a surprise. I would recommend looking up all the rules online for the resort and their beaches before booking. The kitchen was well equipped and the owners/managers were very responsive to our questions throughout the week. The condo could use more seating in the living room since it sleeps 8 and there is only seating for 5. We also missed the footstools that were pictured in the listing but are no longer in the condo. A few extra blankets and pillows would have been nice also. But over all I give it 5 starts and would highly recommend both the Miramar Beach area and this ReaLJoy condo. It is lovely!

Beautiful views, Patio and balconies awesome...

This was like living in the clouds for a week! The view is breath taking, access to the beach is easy.. The beds were comfy, the kitchen is adequately stocked. 2 huge soaking tubs was a nice touch with 2 adult couples. The only reason I did not rate 5 stars is because the couch is awful! It is a pull out bed but to sit on not even possible! The patio furniture is the best I have ever sat on so we brought the patio chairs inside to sit on in the living room to watch tv.. I would rent again as long as the patio furniture is there.

Dream vacation rental

I don’t even know where to begin! The pictures on the website do no justice for how amazing this property is. We loved having meals out on the private balcony and the views were incredible. We loved that we could go to bed early and the rest of the family could stay up and we couldn’t hear them through the walls. The owners left us a sweet gift for Christmas and New Years. If you get a chance to stay here DO IT!

Great Family Get Together!

My sister, father and his wife were coming from Jacksonville, FL. I was coming from B'ham, AL. It was the perfect "Destin"ation! The challenge was finding 3 bedrooms with 3 private baths. This unit checked all the boxes! Spacious and nicely appointed. I'd definitely consider it again!

Everything was amazing, just the gate keeper on the small gate was clueless. He told us to make a detour and then just let anyone behind us come in without asking for any proof or checking our reservations.

Killer Views

We would like to thank the property owners for sharing their beautiful condo. This was a really special time for my family together and celebration of life. My dad who is a two-time cancer survivor, the last being Stage III, request was to see the ocean one more time. The condo offered panoramic views of the ocean on the front side of the condo, and even the side coming into the place. A beautiful golf course in front as we entered. Everything you would possibly need was made available at this place. They even had a few floats, beach chairs, umbrellas and more. I loved the fact that the facility had a trash chute to dispose of trash. Unlike many places where a stay of a week or more would pile up on you. When we went to get groceries for the place, the facility actually had shopping carts that you could put your groceries in instead of taking them all the way up by hand with many trips on the elevator. We have never seen this anywhere we have rented before, and loved it! The place had three bedrooms with separate bathrooms for each. No sharing....loved this! The sunrises were absolutely breathtaking and the views of all the lights and skyline of the city at night a must see! A beautiful trip and place...Memories made with my family and especially my dad will always be remembered. Thank you for making everything so easy and special for us! Xplorie was so helpful, and people were very attentive to my Dad's needs when we took our boating excursion at "Boogies". This may seem like a small thing to most, but not to us! My sister put this in her files for a must stay visit with her family in the future! We will also be back!!!! We highly recommend this place for an unforgettable trip!

Great stay!

Everything was fabulous. Nice space with great views. Very very short walk to beach. We had no issues walking with our 2 small children. There was even 2 wagons and chairs available for use even though we brought our own. Would definitely stay here again!!

This was the 3rd time this year my family and I have stayed in Destin and this stay was by far the best!! My family and I were all amazed at how beautiful the Penthouse was. Everything we needed to make our beach stay comfortable was provided and we hope to stay at this property again many more times.

This place is gorgeous with amazing views!

The first thing that caught our attention when we walked through the doors were the views of the ocean! 2 large patios with the most amazing views from the top/24th floor! It was beautifully decorated but had all of the amenities of home. We are already making plans to come back next year. Thank you all for a vacation to remember!

Beautiful Views

The view was stunning. The condo had everything we needed. However, the light in the first master bedroom was out. Therefore it was very dark and hard to see. I emailed the property owners the first day and never heard anything back. The dishes in the kitchen were not clean. We had to wash everything before we used it. One of the legs on the chair at the dining room table was broken, therefore allowing limited seating during dinners. These 3 things are not major, but when you are paying thousands of dollars, I guess you expect perfection(human flaw). We had great weather and my children and family still enjoyed our time here. Thank you.

Absolutely stunning!

This was our most favorite place we've stayed so far. It's breathtaking. The condo is well kept, extremely clean and updated. The pools are clean and well kept and it's a very short walk to the beach. The balconies is what sold me on this unit. Pictures can't do it justice. The view is just amazing and it's very private. I'd recommend this place to anyone and we plan to go back. The one and only thing I'd recommend they change is better mattresses and bedding. It wasn't bad and was still comfortable but could definitely be better. I have back problems and joint issues so I'm in a lot of pain most days and am probably more picky about bedding than most. I prefer memory foam and a light down comforter. But everything else was over the top great! We very much enjoyed our stay!
