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.

Area Attractions:
Ariel Dunes is located close to the Silver Sands Factory Outlet, the nation’s large designer factory outlet featuring more than 100 name brand designer stores. Also close by is the Destin Commons with incredible eateries, upscale shopping, a park with pop up fountains at its center, and favorites like Bass Pro Shops and Hard Rock Cafe.
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!

Respectfull beach area, people had music but not loud. You have to get up early to set up your area on the beach though. We set up 3Xs and get better location each time. Pool area is somewhat limited for kids but ours enjoyed the beach more. Hotel was clean, elevators worked, luggage carts rolled and grocery carts was a .

Nice getaway
The apartment is older than the photos on the website, but acceptable. The third bedroom, the children's bedroom, is smaller than in the photos. In fact, I wouldn't even call it a bedroom, it's more like a pantry with beds. Regarding the cleanliness, there were poorly washed dishes stored in the closet. Apart from that, the location is great and the common area is well-kept. It’s a small detail, but the elevator and common area do not have air conditioning and we missed a hot tub!
Perfect property for a leisurely stay with family. The views were incredible and the condo was very spacious. Centrally located to bars, shopping, restaurants, beach. Would highly recommend!
We were able to watch dolphins everyday from the lanai. We were a bit further from grocery, etc than we had arranged for but if you have a car or other transportation, no biggie!
We love coming to Miramar Beach, and this time was no exception. The condo was in pristine condition. We had five adults traveling together, and were so happy this condo had 2 Kings and a queen, making sleeping arrangements much more comfortable. The views from the condo were absolutely stunning, even without being directly on the beach.
We loved everything about this place. We were walking distance from the beach. The kids loved the pool. Groceries were delivered right to us which was fantastic so we could cook right there. Places to eat are within walking distance. When we had questions they were answered quickly. We would have stayed here another two weeks if we could! Beautiful view of the water. I’d highly recommend buying or bringing your own beach tent to set up for the day with a wagon to haul your equipment. You can’t go wrong staying here.
Everything was great except for the over one hour that we were locked out of the unit, because the passcode had expired in the middle of our stay. We couldn’t have been happier, with everything else.
Wonderful stay at this well appointed, clean and spacious condo. Amazing ocean view from the over sized balcony. The master bedroom with ensuite is large and luxurious. The beds in both bedrooms are comfy. Plus there is a bunk bed room which doubles as a games room complete with X-box. The kitchen is well stocked with premium quality pots and pans. The Cabana Cafe down in the lobby offers excellent food and entertainment. We loved their pizza’s. Real Joy Property Management were very prompt and attentive. The golf course on the property is very affordable.
Overall, we loved our stay and would highly recommend this unit.

This was our first trip to Destin-Miramar Beach area and we would definitely book this property again. It was the perfect location to the beach, access to both main strips for travel to restaurants and entertainment. We visited at end of May and beginning of June and it was not that crowded at all.
The condo was on the 16th floor and getting an elevator was super easy. They had grocery & luggage buggies so you could transport your stuff from your car to your condo & plenty of them!
Smoking was allowed only in designated areas-which I liked because we are not smokers so no worries about a smelly condo in 1609.
The decor was very coastal chic.
Had everything you could possibly need. Starter toiletries which is typical for this type of rental. You only need beach towels.
Our view was great! We could sit on our balcony which was furnished with a sectional set and an Adirondack set on the long patio. You could access these from the master and living area. There were buildings in front of us but we could still see plenty of beautiful beach and hear the waves.
Speaking of noise—couldn’t hear any with doors shut. Ocasional dropped noise from above but we sleep with noise machine so nothing bothered us plus 10pm HOA noise ordinance.
The bedrooms are spacey but the room with the bunks is VERY SMALL and hard to hold luggage so be aware of that (we kept in our spacey closets). Honestly it’s a great place so if you’re on the fence, book it-you won’t be disappointed!

Very Clean, cute decor, nice balcony furniture and well cared for. The only issue, this is not a three bedroom*. Great master bed/bath. 2nd bedroom with standard bed, 1/2 closet and dresser, attached bath. *There is a very small side room by front door with the bunks. There is no room for luggage/clothes, dressing or grooming. The two kids’ belongings had to be kept in others’ rooms. We were under the impression there was another bedroom and bunks were “extra” sleeping.
This is our second time staying at this property. We love the location and views from our place. Very clean inside and out. Fully equipped kitchen. The only thing missing was a dishcloth to do dishes and another kitchen hand towel would’ve been great. We would definitely come back.
It was very clean and great location within walking distance to the beach. The view from the balcony was great. We were able to watching dolphins swim by. Can’t wait for our return to the beach.
