Location was excellent . Beautiful view and easy walk to the beach The elevators had very , very long wait times .- Reviewed On: 7/26/2026
Great location, everything was like in the pictures. The only issue we had was the elevators. I would recommend to anybody staying at this place to get there early before check in . Or else you will be waiting a long time to get an elevator because everybody else is checking in at the same time. Or people are coming back from the beach, so the elevators are jampacked.- Reviewed On: 7/5/2026
RealJoy Vacations did not disappoint! Our family vacation was fantastic, rental was clean and very roomy. The location was convenient to restaurants, shopping, some even walkable, and the beach right across the street. Plus, our host was on point, all check in and out instructions outlined and sent to us in advance, host was available for any questions we had. I would definitely book with them again!!!- Reviewed On: 5/31/2026
We loved our stay here, the owners of the penthouse were great and respectful, always got back to me when needed. The place was gorgeous, and even better in person.. very clean and organized, the only thing I needed was a spatula to make pancakes and burgers, and there wasn’t anything to wash dishes with so I used paper towels to wash them then put the dishes in the dishwasher. Other than that I didn’t wanna leave the place, very cozy oh and the AC worked gracefully..- Reviewed On: 5/22/2026

Property was exactly how the pics look. The place was very spacious nice and clean.. The view is amazing right across from the beach. You really don’t have to leave the property for anything if you don’t want to. So much is on site at the property just for The Wharf Guest. The location was great close to everything.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with RealJoy at the Laketown Wharf. We were already blown away by the photos of the condo, which much to our amazement looked even better in person. The location is great - right across the street from the beach, pineapple willy's, Walmart, and other stores for all your needs (i.e. food, drink, supplies, etc.)
Our only regret is that we didn't book an extra day in this location! We were sad to leave ! haha- Reviewed On: 10/3/2021

Overall, the stay was nice. The condo was clean and nice. The kitchen only has minimal dishes and cookware but we didn't do much cooking. RealJoy is great at responding when you call but if you email or text, expect it to be slow responses. Also, the beach access requires a gate code and I asked RealJoy about it and they stated no code was needed. You can reach your arm through the gate and open it though. Definitely recommend staying here for your visit!- Reviewed On: 4/18/2021
