RealJoy Vacations was a pleasure to work with! Always communicated to ensure we were satisfied and if we needed anything. The condo is decorated very nice with a beachy/modern theme. Plenty of linen and pillows for everyone.
Also, If you’re a cook like me, the kitchen is stocked with lots cookware. The balcony had a great view as well. We really enjoyed our stay!

The place was very homely and accommodating. The view from the balcony is breathtaking; a great place to enjoy morning coffee and meditation. The beach is literally a 5 minute walk away. And the host was very responsive and friendly. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already begun planning for next summer.

We had a wonderful stay! The whole family enjoyed the balcony view, and the room was cozy and felt just like home. We didn’t need to contact the host at all—everything from check-in to check-out went smoothly. The Destin area is beautiful, and we highly recommend visiting, even if you’re already from Florida like us. One small downside was that there was only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, which seemed a bit unusual—especially for five people staying five days. It would have been nice to have a few extras on hand. That said, it was just a minor inconvenience in what was otherwise a fantastic experience.

What breakfast? Anyway, the accommodations were spectacular. Me and my girlfriends loved it. With one exception, we could not use the third bedroom as it was designed for young children. Plenty of space on the beach to share with provided seating. There was no one there to check us in and so I had to communicate via e-mail and wait for a response. We had to investigate the premises on our own to find everything, but the other guests that were there shared information happily.

We booked this space for a quiet weekend getaway for a friend’s birthday. The condo was exactly as pictured and in a perfect location. We were only a few minutes’ walk from the beach and a few minutes’ drive to restaurants, stores and the outlet. We ordered takeout for breakfast on the balcony complete with the perfect ocean view. We spent a lot of time on the balcony, even in the rain and we never heard our neighbors. It was the perfect socially distanced COVID friendly vacation. The front bunk beds are a little small and cramped for any adult, but would probably work for small children under 12. We opted out of sleeping in that room, but there was still plenty of sleeping space for the 4 of us in the other rooms. We would definitely rent this unit again.

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.

Overall our experience was great! Having access to the beach and pools were very beneficial for us since we have younger kids who cannot spend the entire day in the Florida sun. The option of the heated pool was also great for night swims. The only obstacle we had was there was no pantry or cabinet space to put our food so it all sat on the floor in the dining area.
