Chic Retreat

This property is in a perfect location in a quiet neighborhood. Just one block from the beach and Pompano Joe’s, and walking distance to other restaurants and shops. The home was clean, well equipped and well maintained. We took advantage of the golf cart that is available as well. The pictures on line are very accurate. We were pleased the moment we walked in! This is a place we would rent again.

We had a great stay during our travels for the holidays. The house had plenty of space for our family of six. Very close to the beach. Renting the golf cart was a bonus and made it even easier to get to the beach and explore the surrounding area. One of the things that stood out the most was working with Real Joy. Property management companies tend to get a bad reputation but Real Joy was incredible. They were very proactive, pleasant, and helpful in all of their communication. They really shined when members of my family became sick the night before we were supposed to leave. They quickly and easily helped me extend our stay so that we could have a bit more time. We’ve already booked our next stay at a Real Joy property. We would definitely choose this house again.

3- bedroom house is beautiful. My wife and I stayed in the master bedroom with its own bathroom, my mother stayed in the guest bedroom, and three kids stayed in kids room(has two bunkbeds). Large living room/kitchen/dining area, open floor plan, just lovely. There is a back patio, great for unwinding in the evening. There is a community pool across the street, which the kids loved, it has restrooms which requires a key. The beach is a short walk away and there is a Pompano Joe’s as you enter the beach, they have some good lemonade and drinks. Quiet neighborhood, although we arrived on Sunday and left before the weekend, I would imagine it gets lively during the weekend. Nice community, went on several morning and evening walks, everyone is so nice Loved it.

The house was very clean and presented accurately. Great location. The management company should consider who the client is and where they are coming from. There should be some staples included with the home. I suggest providing at very least salt and pepper, extra toilet paper and paper towels. This is really for people that fly in from out of state understanding that we would gladly pay more for some extra conveniences. There was 1 role of paper towel and 1 roll of 1 ply toilet paper in each bathroom. For such a nice home, I would expect a little more.
