Cute Beach House
Our family had a great time in Real Sandy! We have stayed in several of Jay & Betty's properties and this one is a winner. It's a cute and clean beach house with easy access to the Emerald Shores beach and their pavilion. It's located on Jade Cove, so close the south entrance of the community. The kids loved the location too. We will be back next year!

Fantastic Beach Vacation
"Real Sandy" provided our families a wonderful beach vacation getaway! The house accommodated our 7 very well. It's location in this charming community was great - about a 3 minute walk to the beach and even shorter walk to the pool (didn't even need the beach tram!) Beach pavilion with restrooms and refreshments was nice! The house was beautifully decorated and kitchen was spacious. We enjoyed sitting underneath the fan on the screened porch, which never got direct sun and was very relaxing. Thank you Jay and Betty for sharing your lovely home with us!

Wonderful Week at Real Sandy
We had a great time at Real Sandy. Very well appointed, comfortable and spacious. There were only three of us, so we had ample room. The kitchen is fully equipped with anything that you need and the gas grill was very helpful for the nights we didn't to go out to eat. Very short walk to the beach and Kenny D's or Capt Dave's on the Gulf. The pavilion was a wonderful thing to be able to have a bathroom, refreshments and a place to get out of the sun for a minute. The chair and umbrella is a must, makes life so much easier. We really appreciated the wagon and extra chairs. If you get the chance, Christian at the pavilion was a blast to get to know, plus he will move your seats front row. This was our first time to Miramar Beach/Destin area and we really enjoyed the laid back vibe of the community and the beach. Thanks for having us

Perfect Beach Getaway
Real Sandy was everything we hoped for and more. The house was spotless, comfortable, and had plenty of space for our group. We loved how close it was to the beach and how easy it was to get to the pavilion for bathrooms and shade. The screened porch was our favorite spot for morning coffee. The neighborhood felt very safe and quiet, which made the whole week even more relaxing. We would absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful Family Vacation Spot
Real Sandy was perfect for our family trip. The house was clean, spacious, and had a great layout for everyone to spread out. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the grill came in handy for nights we stayed in. The short walk to the beach made the week so easy, and the pavilion was a lifesaver during the hot afternoons. We loved the quiet evenings on the porch and the overall relaxed feel of Emerald Shores. We’ll definitely be back.
