This beachfront home was perfect for a large group, and the location was ideal at the west end of Panama City Beach. The views from the living area on the main floor and the master suite on the second floor are amazing! Great outdoor space on the two covered porches overlooking the Gulf of America!

Our family stayed here over thanksgiving for 8 days. It was much nicer and cleaner than previously read reviews. The king suite upstairs was perfect for my husband and I to stay in. The beds the others stayed in were not very comfortable but ours was very nice. The furniture was clean and comfortable and perfect for our family. We rented from Myles(recommended from house manager) and he was amazing to work with. I brought knives, dish towels and purchased a broiler which I left with the house. Other than the broiler the house was very well stocked! Great location for our family holiday on the beach! Highly recommend and as house owners and renters ourselves you won’t be disappointed or dissatisfied.

Thank you for recommending us, and thank you for choosing RealJoy for your family holiday on the beach. We look forward to hosting you again!

Can’t beat the location. Steps from the back door is the beautiful Gulf Coast Beach. Everything in the rental promotion was as it was. We went with adults and teenagers and it was great.

- Posted: 6/6/2023

This house had plenty of room & was perfectly located right on the beach which had spectacular views. My family will forever have fond memories of the time we spent here!

- Posted: 8/10/2023

Access to the beach was exactly as described. I have never stayed in a more convenient location. We had some issues with clean bedding, but management was responsive and gave us new bedding that day. The kitchen is stocked in terms of cookware, but has absolutely no extras (seasonings, oils, tinfoil, etc), so be aware of that when booking. Overall, great trip and good location. PS: we didn’t have any issue with the porch. You’re there for the view, not the furniture.

The Ocean Spray was a delightful way to spend Thanksgiving with my family. The property exceeded my expectations. The kitchen was well stocked with everything that we needed. The check-in process went without a hitch, other than my failure to operate the lock (no one had trouble but me!). We had no problems to report. Everything was as it should have been. The rooms were a good size, and everything was in great working condition. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the property and look forward to coming again.

Great location and only steps away to the beach! Only request would be to have more patio furniture on the decks, especially upstairs. Would definitely stay here again!

- Posted: 9/28/2022

Teresa, Thank you for giving your stay at Ocean Spray 5 stars. We're glad that the location worked well for you. We'll talk with the owner about adding patio furniture. We hope you had fun exploring local attractions. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

We are going home today after a great week at PCB. The house was perfect for us. It was very clean and comfortable. The location was the best. Close to restaurants and activities but on a quiet strip of beach. We have been coming here around 30 years.

Wanda, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're glad you were comfortable and the location was good for you. We hope to see you next year. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

The house was clean and attractive and 14 family members fit very well. The location was absolutely perfect. The water was very few steps from the house. So convenient. We would absolutely choose to rent it again.

- Posted: 8/8/2022

Great house in an awesome location! Beach is your back yard! Loved it!

- Posted: 3/17/2022

Absolutely loved the location and spaciousness of the property! Kitchen was well stocked and everything was very clean. I would suggest bringing beach chairs and towels, as I found it slightly odd that a house directly on the sand doesn’t have it available but that is their policy, so be sure to pack some of your own. I really enjoyed our stay and loved how close we were to grocery stores, eateries and more. I will absolutely be back. The vacation rental company was super pleasant to deal with and very professional!

We enjoyed our stay at the house, perfect location, close to beach and far enough away from all the crowds, had some minor problems that was taken care of quickly except needing new stove, some deep cleaning needed, portalable fans are dirty. Thank you!

- Posted: 7/25/2021

We loved the location of this home, far enough away from large condos such that beach was not crowded but close enough for short trip to tourist areas. The home offers great beach views and access so when the weather wasn't the best, we could still enjoy the scenery. Also highly recommend Sunnyside Grill for a nearby breakfast (We did take out).

A-MAZ-ING! House was awesome, right on the white sand clean beach! Better than expected. Only issue we had was we couldn’t find the broom. We stayed eight days and would have stayed longer if we were able. Kids, ages 3-15, had a blast. There is a beach access right next to it but we rarely noticed the people coming and going so don’t let that deter you from staying here! We will definitely rent again next time we go to Florida.

This is a great house! It is very clean and spacious. The upstairs master suite has fantastic views of the ocean and a spacious balcony. The house is right on the beach...just go down the back steps and walk out onto the sand. I liked hearing the surf from the open windows. The beach is beautiful and not crowded. I liked being a little ways away from the crowds at Panama City Beach. When we were there, many restaurants in the area where closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we could still find places to eat. Overall, we loved this house and I would highly recommend it as a great place to stay for a beach vacation.

Hi Rachel, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're so happy to hear you liked the beach and the house itself! We hope you'll return to stay with us again.

Arrived at the beginning of the virus threat and house was well cleaned and safe to stay. Beautiful location and would have liked to visit more attractions but businesses were ordered closed Stayed 1 week and beaches closed as we headed home. Only issue was contacting the 24/7 service number on the refrigerator. One of our couples flight was delayed and we wanted to see if we could rent the property for 1 more night. A lady answered the phone and said she would call back but never did. We also left messages via email and text via VRBO app! With everyone calling to cancel and wanting a refund, you would think us wanting to rent another night would be a priority...... other than the poor response, it was a great time. I brought 2 boats and got a video sailing with the dolphins. Perfect.

Hi Mack, we're happy to hear you were so pleased with Ocean Spray! Please accept our deepest apologies regarding someone not getting back with you about the extra night. Along with everyone else, we are dealing with unprecedented events, but that is no excuse. Your situation will be discussed with our operations team. Please know that this response (or in this case, lack of) is not typical. We appreciate your feedback and understanding, and are so glad to hear that you got awesome video with the dolphins! We do hope to see you again in the future.
