We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Destin! The check-in process was very smooth with clear instructions, which made everything simple and convenient. Parking was right next to the unit, and we could easily see our car from inside, which gave us an extra sense of safety and control.
The location was fantastic—just a short walk to the beach, or you could drive if carrying beach chairs, umbrellas, or extra things. There was also parking available by the beach, which made it very convenient. Great restaurants are nearby where you can enjoy a delicious meal, and there’s also a mall and outlets close by for shopping.
The place itself was cozy, clean, and felt just like home. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely try to book this property again the next time we’re in the area. Thank you, RealJoy!

Hi Yevheniia,
Thank you for the great review. I’m glad check-in was smooth and the clear instructions made everything simple. It’s wonderful parking felt convenient and visible from the unit, and that the short walk to the beach, nearby restaurants, and shopping met your needs. I’m happy the place felt cozy and clean. We appreciate you staying with RealJoy and would love to host you again next time you’re in Destin.

Great stay for our family of four; not a far walk at all from the beach; the beach was a little crowded due to it being a public access; everything was there that we needed for our stay; we did have some sand on the floor when we checked in but after reaching out through text we had people there the next morning to clean the floor. We would definitely go back and stay again!

We will gladly come back to stay at the Shoeless Joe! Easy walk to the beach and a spotless clean unit. Be aware that the upstairs neighbors could be loud with walking, but we could never hear voices/sounds. Just loud floors! Obviously not the owners fault. Otherwise a perfect stay and we would not hesitate to return.

It was very clean and spacious. It was close to the beach. This listing was listed as beachfront and it was not. It was short walking distance from the beach which was nice, but I was upset it was listed incorrectly. Normally other listings say 500ft, 1500ft, etc in the listing and this one did not. My mom is disabled and so we were looking for something on the beach for easier access.

We had a great stay at this beach condo. It's a short walk to the beach and had all the basic amenities we needed. Being on the first floor, it can be noisy depending on the upstairs neighbors, but that's not the host's fault. The community is quiet and friendly, and it's in a good location near lots of stores and restaurants.

Everything was great! One of the best features was they already have pretty much all you need for the beach already like chairs, umbrellas etc and even a wagon to put it all in. The bed was nice and the TV’s were nice. The only negative thing I can say is it seemed the people upstairs never sat down. We cougar every step at all times of the day.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo was exactly as pictured, easy to find, and we were pleasantly surprised to find beach chairs & an umbrella in the place. Directions were clear, and when I had to call for assistance accessing the check in info, I was able to speak to a friendly customer service rep immediately, who promptly cleared up the issue. Beautiful place, comfortable bed, enough supplies for our stay. Great location with a short, easy walk to the beach and to Pompano Joe’s, which was our favorite restaurant of the week. Highly recommend - would stay again in a heartbeat!
