Absolutely gorgeous view!! The room was very clean and cozy. There were six of us in total including 4 children. We enjoyed our stay and felt right at home! There was plenty of space for a big family. We loved sitting on the balcony, watching, and hearing the waves-and the access right off of our bedroom was great! The washer & dryer is perfect so you don’t have laundry to do when you get home.
The kitchen was clean and had everything we needed.
The location is great, very short walk right behind the unit to the beach & pool. There are several restaurants within a decent walk or quick car trip.
No complaints…We would highly recommend and plan on coming back for sure!!

The view did not disappoint. We saw more dolphins from the balcony than we did on the dolphin cruise. The condo felt peaceful and made us feel at home. Highly recommend.

The Best Way to Relax
Such a beautiful location and truly the most relaxing vacation. We could enjoy seeing ocean views for miles both directions and enjoying the sounds of the ocean and dolphins swimming by while relaxing on the deck. Everything was absolutely perfect with one exception. Please take note the beach service is a completely separate cost for chairs & umbrellas for this property. The cost on average for 2 chairs and an umbrella were $50 per day. We assumed all the condos came with 2 chairs and an umbrella, but that is not the case anymore. Unfortunately, this was an extra cost we didn’t anticipate. Other than this missing detail, we were very happy with everything else. The team was very responsive to any questions were immediate and everything was clean and well kept. We will definitely be back!

Marie, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're thrilled you had such a relaxing vacation and enjoyed the stunning ocean views and dolphins from the deck. We appreciate your feedback about the beach service and will keep it in mind. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Great location and perfect condo for our family. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals. Both bathrooms were well stocked with towels and wash cloths. RealJoy was very responsive to any questions we had before arrival and even checked in with us after we arrived to make sure we were good.
Thank you RealJoy for a relaxing week.

Our stay was great! The condo was perfectly clean and had tons of space. Yes, the appliances are slightly dated (as stated in previous reviews), but everything works fine and the kitchen had everything we needed. The outlets in the bedroom are switch operated, so as long as you have the fan switched on, they do work. And the master door to the patio DOES open. The views from the condo were absolutely breathtaking, and the beach and pool were super easy to access. Chairs and umbrellas were set up each morning and were first come first serve so that was super convenient. They also are currently doing construction on the building, but it did not affect our beach view or sleep. My only negative is that RealJoy does not communicate through Airbnb at all, so a lot of my questions went unanswered until they directly emailed me with their contact info, then I was able to reach them easily with any questions. Overall, we loved our time here and would absolutely stay again!

Lauren, We're delighted to hear that your stay was great. It's wonderful that you found the condo clean and spacious, and that the appliances worked fine. Thank you for sharing your insights about the outlets and the master door to the patio. We're glad that you enjoyed the breathtaking views and easy beach access. We apologize for any communication issues you experienced. You should have gotten an email prior to your stay with an invitation to our guest portal which allows us to communicate more efficiently with our guests. We're glad you loved your time here and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
