We had a great stay in Destin. There is always something to do, and the beach was an easy 10 minute walk. Would recommend!- Reviewed On: 7/18/2026
Hi Megan — thank you for the great review. We’re glad Palms Resort #2605 Jr 2BR worked well for your stay and that the beach and activities were convenient. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon. RealJoy DestinReal Joy staff
Lovely property, condo & pool grounds too. Close to endless restaurants and activities. Nice to have the kitchen - which is filled with every appliance possible! And the washer dryer was so helpful!- Reviewed On: 5/28/2026
We had a great stay! The room was very clean and definitely met our standards. Communication with RealJoy was excellent, quick, responsive, and easy the whole time.We’re a family of 5, and the location of the room worked perfectly for us. Being close to the elevator and trash room made everything super convenient. As an autism family, having easy access to the elevator, garage, and pool made a big difference in keeping things smooth and stress-free.The elevators can get a little crowded and there can be a short wait at times, but they move pretty quickly. Also, not all of the pools are heated, so just keep that in mind.The location overall is amazing, close to restaurants and shopping. We went to Henderson Beach, which was only about a 4-minute drive.We would definitely book this room again- Reviewed On: 3/22/2026
Thank you for the 5-star review! Glad the room was very clean and worked well for your family of five. Happy to hear our team’s communication was quick and responsive, and that the elevator/garage/pool access helped keep things smooth. Thanks for mentioning the occasional elevator wait and that not all pools are heated — that will be helpful for future guests. We hope to welcome you back to RealJoy Vacations.Real Joy staff

Our stay at the Palms with Real Joy was great. The condo was beautifully decorated with a beach theme and beds/furniture were comfortable. Real Joy was communicative and check in was easy. Tip when checking in…go to security and leave your ID to get a cart to haul stuff to your room because carts are scarce. We enjoyed the coffee shop each morning (they made great coffee drinks!) and ate at the restaurant one evening (service at restaurant was awful but food was good). There was plenty of room at the pool but it is definitely packed with kids so do not plan on relaxing by the pool with the loud music and footballs a plenty being thrown around…makes for good people watching though! I wouldn’t recommend walking/shuttling to the beach…it’s a decent walk and the beach has 80’ of beachfront and people were packed in the public section like sardines…instead drive to Henderson but get there early as it fills up but there’s plenty of beachfront there.- Reviewed On: 6/25/2025
Thank you for sharing your experience, Courtney. We're glad you enjoyed the condo’s decor, comfort, and found check-in smooth. We appreciate your tips about the carts and the beach access.

We love staying at The Palms. This was our third time staying at the resort and the second for staying in this unit. The view of the pool area is great and you can also see the gulf from the balcony. The unit is very quiet even tho it is facing the poolside and poolside bar. The kitchen is well stocked (except there was not any basic spices). RealJoy is great to deal with and very responsive and helpful. They had to relocate us prior to our arrival this stay, due to a malfunctioning air unit and they were very proactive and accommodating. The last day there, the unit lost power for quite some time and someone from RealJoy reached out to check on us. That was very heartwarming. We definitely recommend staying in this unit. We hope you enjoy your time as much as we did!!- Reviewed On: 5/11/2025
