So let me start out by complimenting Real Joy. We had a couple small issues and they had someone out immediately. I will definitely be using them again. The house was perfect. We had plenty of space for 16 people. Location was great. If I had to pick one thing that needs some attention, it would be the kitchen furnishings were a little lacking. We purchased some stuff to fix it so it really wasn't that big to us.- Reviewed On: 10/18/2025

Thank you, Phillip. We’re glad our team could respond quickly and that the house, space for 16, and location worked well for your group. Appreciate the note about the kitchen furnishings — we’ll review the kitchen inventory and add or replace items as needed to ensure it’s fully stocked for future guests.

Destin Getaway
My friends and I had the best time at our stay at Fins Up last weekend! The house was gorgeous, cozy, huge, and exceeded all of our expectations! Everything was so clean, plenty of rooms and bathrooms for all. Each guest almost had their own bathroom. We loved the loft area on the second floor and the gaming loft area on the third floor. It was perfect for late night hang outs.The back yard/ patio area was so nice. There was plenty of space for all us to lay out and hang by the pool. The heated pool was fabulous and a must if you stay! We loved being able to see the beach from the second and third floor, just a block away. We needed assistance turning on the heated pool and Real Joy was just a text away and it was on in no time.

Family Getaway
The house accommodated our family of 18. We enjoyed our nightly walks to the beach to watch the sunset. The floors needed to be mopped because our socks became dirty just walking though the house on the first day. On the first night there was sand in one bed on the third floor and dead bugs were found in one bed on the second floor. When we went to use the gas grill the battery was dead in the grill igniter. We would consider renting this house in the future due to its space and location.- Reviewed On: 2/26/2023

We were pleased with the cleanliness and open feel to this home. Kitchen was well supplied with plates, cookware and utensils. A quiet street and plenty of areas for play and visiting. Loved the wine/beer frig on 1st and 2nd floors. Appliances do need to be checked as dryer was too slow and broiler did not work in oven.

Fins Up
Met expectations. Great location. The only things I suggest are getting a vacuum of some sort to do a better job at picking up sand on the floors. It was hard to sweep with a broom. Also, some of the drains didn’t drain well (1st and 2nd floor stand-alone bathrooms). Signed up to have pool heated and it wasn’t upon arrival. We called after a couple days and said something. It took a couple trips out to get it figured out, but thankful we had it part of the week. Otherwise, great place, location, and service.- Reviewed On: 4/20/2022

Honor Society kids and sponsors had a blast!
Beautiful home...only about a 3 min walk to beach. The public beach area closest to the home however is very small. The condos have all the beach " private" space on the beach so the beachhome renters are all piled in a 15 ft wide section of public beach...not properties fault but fyi. The ac was stuck on Celsius not Fahrenheit, even though several knowledgeable men tried to set it to Fahrenheit. I couldn't find check out procedures because I chose " already left" on one of the emails. I should have chosen " check out early" then maybe I would have received the checkout/ clean up procedures before we actually left. Those were the only small issues. Overall it was an excellent experience...we would definitely rent again. The brzee bungalow was wonderful. We had 18 people and plenty of room. Great memories made!!- Reviewed On: 6/1/2021

Anniversary weekend
Our friends and family came to join us for our anniversary weekend and this was the perfect location! (12 adults, 2 kids, 2 babies) The proximity to the beach couldn’t be beat. The pool was a little smaller than expected reviewing the pictures online but it was still really nice to have. I would definitely suggest heating the pool this time of year as we didn’t have it heated the first few nights (was supposed to be) but they corrected that for the last two nights of our stay. They were also very responsive with the few requests we had. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and get comfortable. Above and beyond expectations overall, would come back for sure! Thanks!- Reviewed On: 5/13/2021

Great location, great communication!
Great property, location and communication from the rental company - both via email and text to clearly communicate all the key check-in details, timing, etc. The only issue that we had were minor ant problems in the pantry, but minor in the grand scheme of things.- Reviewed On: 3/30/2021

Perfect location - great floorplan
Some moms took daughters and friends for Fall Break. The house is laid out perfectly - LOTS OF SPACE. There isn't a lot of clutter/ decorations (which I love). Ample refrigerator space with separate ice maker. Each floor has plenty of room to breathe. The description is spot on. I would recommend bringing extra blankets, as there aren't any in the house. The pool and location were great. EASY walk to the beach and several restaurants. I would definitely stay again. We had 24 , and it did not seem crowded. The kitchen table and bar were great places for congregating and offered plenty of seating. The home is beautiful.- Reviewed On: 9/29/2020
