Everything was great! They had chairs to use for the beach and nets for my little for the beach. Everything you need to enjoy your stay without having to pack a ton. The only thing bad was that the ice maker in the refrigerator didn’t work but it didn’t affect anything for us with the stay. And they elevators are right by the bedroom so that was loud in the mornings and they were working in the elevators and that too was loud, the property only had one working elevator during our stay. I’m not complaining or making it affect my stay nor review.

This was our second time staying at this unit. Truly love the location and that it is on the second floor so you are not dependent from the elevators (which was especially great this time, since two out of the four elevators were down while we were staying here).
The unit is clean and perfect for two adults and two smaller kids. Easy beach access, walking distance to several restaurants, there is a decent sized gym, and the heated pool is bonus.
Would stay here again!

My family and I enjoyed our stay during fall break. We rarely had to leave the condo due to the nearby amenities. The condo was perfect! We hope to stay again soon!

This was a very nice place it smelled really clean when we walked in! Great location and the view was beautiful! It was a little tricky finding the room at first because it was on the Wyndham side not Emerald Beach side. We found it and Raya was amazing she helped too! I do have two suggestions that might help the next person change the toilet out for a higher one for older people and maybe keep a small vacuum for the hard floors ( for someone like me I lose a lot of hair so the vacuum would have been great) Overall a great getaway and we will stay there again in the future! Thanks for a wonderful vacation home??

We had a great stay! The unit is close
to the elevators so lots of foot traffic at all hours and some noise at night. I loved being on the second floor with an amazing view! The unit was very clean, spacious and perfect for our family of four! Would stay here again!

Perfect condo
Condo was just as described. I read the reviews and all said it was clean. That was most important to me and it was very clean, smelled nice, furniture was clean and in good shape, bed was perfect and didn’t have any odors… another thing I’m picky about. Also loved that it was on the second floor. We had a perfect view of the ocean and we didn’t have to wait on the elevator. The only thing I would change is to add a Keurig coffee maker instead of or in addition to the regular coffee machine.

Glenda, Thank you for the 5-star review! We’re so glad to hear that the condo met your expectations and was clean, comfortable, and provided a perfect view of the ocean. We appreciate your feedback about the coffee maker and will take it into consideration. We hope to welcome you back again soon! Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Loved the location!
We loved the location on the Gulf! It was close to many restaurants and activities. The condo was just the right size for us and very well stocked. Most of all, the owner worked with us and the management company, Real Joy Vacation Rentals were the best we have ever experienced. They responded quickly to our questions and requests and they urged us to let them know if we needed anything else.

John, Thank you for the 5-star review. It's wonderful to hear you loved the Gulf location and found the condo perfectly suited for your needs. We're especially glad that you appreciated the prompt and attentive service from our team. We always aim to make your stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. We hope you'll come back to visit us again soon for more memorable experiences. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Great location for a vacation on the beach
The condo was exactly as presented. Spacious, comfortable, easy access to the stairs which meant avoiding always taking the elevator to the beach or pool. The view from inside or from the balcony was just what we wanted… the beach and water. Plus the sunsets were beautiful!

This place was perfect for my fiancé and myself. The room was clean and view of the ocean was BEAUTIFUL!! Highly would recommend. The garage was a hike from the room but that didn’t matter to us. Will be back for sure!!

Amazing couldn’t ask for anything better

We enjoy staying at Emerald Beach, as this is our third stay there. I would suggest putting another lock on the door, so that children can’t easily open the door. This unit has nice appliance and cooking utensils that you may need. Also, this unit is located on 2nd floor and near elevator and stairs which makes it easy access.

Hi! We appreciate you letting us know that you enjoy staying at Emerald Beach Resort in Panama City Beach. We are happy that you found this unit to have nice appliances and cooking utensils and is easily accessible to the elevator and stairs. We will forward your suggestion of another lock to property managers. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Peaceful getaway
First of all, thank you for sharing your unit with us. Very clean, nice furniture and beautifully decorated. We will rent again. More needs to be shared about the convenience of this condo's location. If you can walk two flights of stairs, you never have to get on an elevator after arrival. We walked out the door and to the left were stairs that took you down to the beach. To the right were stairs that took you to the walkway to the parking garage. There is an elevator outside the room also, but we never saw it used or did we use it. The only negative thing for us was that it was bike week, and we could hear them going up and down the road at night due to the location of the bedroom. We bought a fan to block out the noise, and all was perfect. My only recommendation to the owner, would be to buy a stand-up fan for the bedroom to help block out road noise on these occasions. Overall, our stay was wonderful, and we will definitely rent this unit again.

Noel, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're so glad your stay was wonderful and that you enjoyed the location. Good idea about the fan! We'll pass that along to the owner for their consideration. We look forward to seeing you next time. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
