Family DESTINation

Loved this house, very comfortable, and loved having our own pool.

- Posted: 5/12/2025

We've stayed here three times because this place is clean, spacious, and has everything we need from kitchen supplies to entertaining. It's a 2-min walk to the beach, has its own private pool, laundry facilities, plenty of beds and bathrooms, plus it's a mile from shopping. Definitely will come again!

We enjoyed our stay at this beach house. Conveniently located near the beach and provided a perfect size heated pool for kids of all ages. All bedrooms were equipped for the needs of our families. The house was clean and provided what we needed to enjoy our stay for the week. We contacted the management company a couple of times during our stay and they were very responsive and supportive we with our needs!

Overall, our stay was great at this house. We had two families with various age groups. The pool, which we had heated, was used tremendously throughout our stay. The size of the pool was great, and it was super helpful that it had locked gates surrounding the pool so that little ones could not enter without the help of an adult. The house itself was clean and well put together. All of the bedrooms had plenty of room for accommodations. The walk to the beach was a block away, which was very convenient. The small downfall was there was little area to set up on the beach unless you walked down farther since all the condos took the whole beach as private. The house was in a good location to the main road to plenty of restaurants, stores, and other activities. Overall, our stay at this house was fantastic.

Initially had a little problem with the key code for the door. Realjoy promptly answered and resolved the problem.

This rental home is outstanding in every way, from the spacious, well-appointed rooms to the heated pool! You can't beat the 2-minute walk to the beach or the Adirondack chairs on two levels to relax throughout the days and evenings. The kitchen offered everything we needed, and the laundry room facilities cleaned clothes even better than our machines at home. I wish there were even more stars to give this fabulous DESTINation.

This house was all we were looking for. The pool and the access to the beach was the perfect combination to make our trip one to remember.

My family stayed at this house and really enjoyed our time there. House was clean, well stocked and beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the wrap around deck on the first and second floor and the kids room on the third floor. Best part was beach access; 6 houses down from house. We used a wagon for our beach gear. Pool in backyard is fabulous, no need to share with other families. There is a hose with access to cold water to cool down the pool. There is also a shower built on to side of house near mud room entrance. Would stay again.

We stayed at this beach location for an extended weekend getaway. We celebrated a graduation and had family in town. This location was nice. About a block away from the beach access. Pool was nice. The house was not perfect, but we were ok with it. There were a few insects splattered on the walls that the cleaning crew missed (no big deal). The upstairs bedroom adjacent to the master sank down. So my husband and I were on different levels. The property manager did come out for the insects on the side of the house by the pool (also not a big deal). We also live in Florida and know how bugs can be. Overall, it was a nice trip.

I stayed here for a wedding in the area and we had an amazing stay! RealJoy was very accommodating when we needed to check in early so we could get ready for an event. The house is clean and has everything you need to enjoy Destin! Perfect location! Also the sleeping situation is great! All the bunk beds are full beds so it can comfortably sleep as many people as advertised.

This was a beautiful house. It was perfect for our group. Communication was the best I’ve ever had from any Air B&B I’ve stayed. We look forward to using it again.

This house is absolutely amazing. Very convenient. Super clean super nice. The walk to the beach is very short! HOWEVER the public beach is SO SMALL you cannot spread out bc so much of the beach blocked off due to the resorts on the beach. The house is INCREDIBLE though 😊

- Posted: 8/28/2022

Our stay was great. Perfect distance to the beach. The place looked just like the photos that were posted. The kitchen is a little small, but we made it work for the amount of people we had.

good place to stay if you want to be close to beach

This property is one block from a small public beach. A larger public beach is approximately 2-3 miles down from this house. The layout of the house was perfect for 2 different families and the pool was great for the kids.
The house is conveniently located to grocery stores and shopping areas.

Awesome home and even better location! Other reviews concerned me a bit, but once I got there all my worries were gone. We’re going to rent this place again!

Pet friendly! Private pool! And easy access to public beach less than 3 min walk! We enjoyed our stay very much!

- Posted: 7/1/2020

This location is perfect for any group wanting to head to the beach for a vacation! It is a quick walk to public beach access, and only two blocks from the public restroom. The hosts were quick to communicate and we appreciated the cleanliness of the space given everything going on with COVID-19. We hope to be back!
