great pools and great beach. the condo was clean and comfy. the kitchen has been well used and could use some new things but I made it work. they do not supply beach towels, or enough shampoo, toilet paper and paper towels to get through the week so plan accordingly.

Rhett, thank you for the review! Glad you enjoyed the pools, beach, and that the condo was clean and comfortable. I’m sorry the kitchen items felt worn and that starter supplies (beach towels, shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels) weren’t enough for your week — we appreciate the heads-up. We’ll replace worn kitchen items, increase starter quantities where we can, and update the listing to clarify that beach towels aren’t provided so future guests can plan. Hope to host you again. Because you matter!

We had a wonderful week in Destin FL. The condo that we rented was great. It was clean and just as it was described in the listing. The one thing that they didn’t mention was the view of the fireworks from The Boardwalk. They were beautiful. The balcony had plenty of space. The beach was such a short stroll away. We would definitely rent from RealJoy again!!

Amazing!
We have been staying at Pelican beach resort for 10 years. However this is the first time we rented a 3 bedroom in the Terrace. We worried that losing the view directly on the beach would put a damper on the experience. We were wrong! While you do give up the spectacular view of the water, you gain the view of the city, gorgeous sunsets and sunrises. You also can see the fireworks on Thursday night perfectly. The condo was well stocked in the kitchen. Although the knifes could be sharpened. Having 3 bedrooms and restrooms was perfect for our party of 6. The shower door in the master did not stay closed without some assistance. Beds were comfortable and couches as well. The storage closet does have some beach chairs and boogies boards. Having washer and dryer in the unit was great! We went home will all clean laundry. We will definitely rent this unit again.

Nice Condo
This condo is nicely decorated. The view is beautiful 😍 this is what we loved the most. The condo has 3 rooms and 3 restrooms. It was perfect for our family of 6. (2 adults, 4 kids.) The beach access was very convenient 👌I messaged management twice and I immediately got a response. I would definitely recommend. The only thing I didnt like was that the door in the master restroom shower doesn't really stay closed. It kept sliding back open but it wasnt a big deal.

We found the place perfect for our short spring break get away. We flew from Kansas and rented a car at the airport. It was a short 30 to 40 minute drive to the place and once we were there it was a short 5 minute walk to the pristine beach. The place was just as it looked online. Very clean and some updates that made it feel fresh and welcoming. Large enough for grandma and grandpa and their daughter and her two teens. It very much felt like a family vacation spot. We also all really enjoyed eating at Taste of India, an authentic Indian buffet that was incredible. We would stay there again.

We absolutely loved our condo…. Myself and 2 friends, 3 beds, 3 baths were the perfect scenario for 10 days! The views from the balcony were amazing.. we loved everything about it! It was an easy book, easy check in and a care free stay. We would most definitely book with Realjoy again and hopefully stay at the Terrace in 807!! Destin was sporting beautiful weather, so we had the best of both worlds. We couldn’t have ask for a better vacay!!! ❤️❤️
