3 Generations Beach House

Our family was fortunate to stay at the 3Generations House over the last several days. The house was everything our family needed- space for each family to spread out, ample common areas and kitchen, plus a private pool. The location is great- we enjoyed being able to see the beach and sunset from the house. The beautiful beach is only a short walk down the road. Our family would unanimously enjoy getting the chance to return.

Family had a great stay! The pool was perfect, the beach just steps away! They do have hairdryers, a child’s pack/n/play, two high chairs and a child’s booster for the dinning room, and a few towels for the beach, if you didn’t pack any. Plenty of restaurants nearby, coffee and ice cream shops! We made some great memories on our stay!

The location was great. Short walk to the beach. Pool was wonderful. Plenty of room for our group of 10. From Papp and grannie, to the kids and grandkids. It was just what we hoped for. There were plenty of restaurants nearby to choose from. There was shopping, donuts and restaurants. The golf cart was nice, although not included. Extra expense. Kitchen utensils were adequate. There was beach towels available and also a portable sleeper for our granddaughter didn’t need to rent one or bring one. I’d rent again.

Loved the property. More than enough rooms and privacy for everyone. Location to the beach was great. Usage of the golf cart was not clear but we were able to get better information. Responsiveness of your staff was great especially since we locked ourselves out of the house.

Our family stayed in this house because my granddaughter got married on the beach nearby. It was a perfect day! The house had everything you could think of to cook with. We loved having the golf cart for riding around. We very much enjoyed the bicycles. They were so easy to ride. I would recommend this house to anyone as long as they can climb stairs. Everyone LOVED the heated pool and playing with the toys provided.

This was the perfect beach house, especially to accommodate a group of our size (13) - plenty of beds/bedrooms and bathrooms, great layout with privacy and lots of spaces to hang. The house offers a beautiful ocean view, private pool, and outdoor games and bikes, with the beach just steps away. We loved this home and would definitely return.

Can't say enough great things about this property! The house was laid out wonderfully for a large group with plenty of room to spread out. The Gulf views were amazing! The house sits on a gated cul-de-sac, is private and in a very nice area. The heated pool was plenty warm in mid October, even after lower overnight temperatures. Having the golf cart and bikes were huge bonuses as well. RealJoy had the best communication I've ever experienced with a host. Someone was immediately available day or night to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend!

Property was as described. The view of the ocean was actually better than I thought it would be off the back balconies. Walk to the beach is relatively short, and comparable to the distance we’ve walked at condos that were right on the beach. The beach is public, but since we were there in October it wasn’t overly crowded. The grill is also relatively new, and we used it several times while we were there. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

The house was perfect for 3 generations as the name implies. Everyone had their own private space. Really clean and lots of amenities; pool, 6 bikes, 8 seater golf cart, beach chairs and towels, shampoos, soaps, etc. only issue was there was no ice maker. But we made do. All in all we will definitely come back!

Great location and we loved having a full sized pool! Two refrigerators were also very handy with a large group. The house was clean and well equipped. The short walk to the beach was easy. The beach was crowded, but we stayed the week of July 4th and the water and weather were perfect! The folks at RealJoy were very responsive and helpful with the few questions that came up. The eight passengers golf cart takes a little getting used to, but it was a great way to transport lots of folks. We would recommend this house!

The house was clean and inviting. There were only 7 of us so we had plenty of room. The only thing I didn’t like was the thermostats would be set on 74 and in the middle of the night it got hot and I had to get out of bed to turn it down. Other than that we may be back next year.

This is the perfect property for a large extended family! Great location - short walking distance to the beach. The three levels gave everyone space and the bedrooms were awesome! Two (and a half) refrigerators gave us plenty of space for food and drinks. The best thing about this property was the pool - it is large, refreshing and gated for safety with toddlers. With a large group, we stay home and cook dinners - the kitchen was very well equipped, and we had everything we needed. When we had one small with the pool, the owner was very responsive. Highly recommend - would definitely stay here again!

Perfect location, short walk to beach, pool at house. Needed someone to fix heater ( heated pool was $day). We ended being fine without it! House wouldn’t work for 16 adults. Kids tripled on fold out couch! Our kids surprised us w/bonfire, pix, champagne, wedding cake, wedding vow renewal, music, and smores on the beach!!! And announcement of another grandchild due in January!!! Our sons and grandsons went deep sea fishing! Caught a bull shark! Brought lots of snappers home for a delicious meal made by our chef/son! Crabbing, riding ocean waves, shopping in Seaside and local towns, relaxing, reading, walking on beach, sunsets, moon rises, laughing and enjoying family!!! Perfect glorious 50th celebration!

Check in and response from property manager was excellent. Be aware the bedrooms on the 2 lower floors are smaller, so if you are traveling with children who require a cot or pack and play they must stay in one of the 3rd floor rooms. The extra living spaces were a lifesaver for our large group. We loved the porches looking out to the ocean. Beautiful home. We would stay again most definitely. This beach access is public, so make sure you are up early to snag a spot close to the water (6-7 am). They do not allow canopies or wind sails close to the water. Only umbrellas.

This house is large and well maintained. It has good views of the gulf in front and a lake in back. My wife and I were there with our four adult children, two sons-in-law, two toddlers, and one infant, and there was plenty of room for all of us. One downside is that the only beach access is the public access spot about 150 yards away, and the beach there is crowded in peak season. Our only real complaint had to do with housekeeping, not with the house. We had to wait a half hour in the heat because the cleaning staff was late turning the house over to us, and then we found that there was hand soap in only two bathrooms, no shower soap at all, and no bathmat in the master bathroom. Again, that's not the fault of the owners or the management.

We had 16 in our family stay at this house. Plenty of room for everyone. Never ran out of hot water and had a great washer and dryer. We all got ready for family photos on the beach with no problems. Only wish there was a path in the sand dunes for easier beach access but beautiful location and view of the gulf!
