Area Attractions:
This is a fantastic location with Gulf Place Town Center only 1.5 miles to the West and Watercolor, Grayton Beach, Seaside, Seacrest, and Rosemary Beach just minutes away to the East. Biking is a great activity to enjoy as the scenic bike path meanders along 30A. Bike over to Blue Mountain Beach Creamery for some homemade scoops that will have your taste buds coming back! You'll have an array of dining options to choose from!
30A is a fantastic destination, the beaches are some of the world’s best with sugar white sand and emerald green waters. You will find plenty of beach accesses along a 17 mile stretch of Santa Rosa Beach. It boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine, and the incredible architecture that makes 30A famous, there are activities for everyone; kayak rentals, bike rentals, paragliding, fishing, golfing, hiking, swimming, tennis -- you'll find it all right here.
The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation devices when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Great location, peaceful neighborhood and very pretty. The house was very clean and well decorated. We would stay again because of the cleanliness. If some where isn’t clean we won’t book again. Location is nice to Blue Mountain beach and the Creamery. A quieter and of town. Great place for the family.- Posted: 3/21/2025

Overall Good with Minor Inconveniences
Great location. Nice overall look. It was very convenient to the community pool - walk left out of the driveway, past one house, then take a right onto the pathway between houses that circles around to the pool. We all took the time to climb the observation tower next to the pool - fabulous views. The kitchen was nice and we utilized the counter seating multiple times to feed the kids. It was well stocked and had almost everything we needed. We did have to buy a metal spatula to use when we grilled hamburgers by the pool. The grill was a little tricky. We never got the grill on the right to light and had to play around with the one on the left, but were ultimately successful. Several in our group enjoyed using the bikes that were provided & they rode to town multiple times. There were some cons though. First off, the unit did not come with additional toilet paper other than what was on the roll, so our first morning there we had to make a toilet paper run. The other con was that although the listing says, "towels provided," it means one dish towel in the kitchen and one bath towel per person for our full house of 12. There were not enough hanging racks or hooks, so towels ended up in the floor. We had to constantly do laundry to have enough clean towels. There is a note on the fridge that says the towels ARE NOT to be taken to the pool or beach. Because the listing said towels were provided, we had not packed any and had to go purchase beach/pool towels.- Posted: 7/15/2023
Amy, Thank you for the 5-star review and for taking the time to provide your feedback. We're pleased to know that you enjoyed the convenient location, the community pool, and the amenities provided. Your insights about the kitchen, grill, and bikes are valuable for us to ensure a comfortable stay for future guests. We apologize for any misunderstanding regarding the towel situation. More towels should have been provided and we are sorry that we missed that. We would have loved the opportunity to improve your vacation by getting more towels over during your stay. We have also made adjustments to make sure that there are more kitchen towels available. You should have gotten an email prior to your stay letting you know that we do not provide beach towels. This same email lets you know that we provide starters of kitchen and bathroom essentials so you should plan to bring these items from home or purchase them once you get here. This is for safety reasons. We appreciate your input and hope you had a memorable time overall. We hope you will visit us again. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.Real Joy staff

This was such a beautiful home and the team was so responsive to any questions or concerns. The place was extremely clean and very pleasant.

I had a total of 10 guest and the place was spacious enough to accommodate everyone comfortably. ***5 Stars***- Posted: 6/5/2023

We had a great stay! The home was beautiful and Realjoy was a great company to rent from. They always got back to me quickly with an issues. The home was a bit further from the beach then we anticipated, but we rented a golf cart and that made the trip fun. Thanks for the great memories!!- Posted: 3/31/2023

RealJoy Airbnb was an AMAZING place to stay we had a group of 14 and everyone had a place to sleep and plenty of space over all . I will definitely be booking with RealJoy again and again. To be honest we didn’t wana leave I have a 3 year old that even fell in love with that place . But anyways RealJoy Airbnb was comfortable, spacious, very clean, luxury, peaceful, private, and everything that your heart desires. Thank you RealJoy for the stay??- Posted: 3/19/2023

This has to be one of the best places I’ve stayed. My family enjoyed it. Rooms were top notched, the whole house was cleaned spotless. Bikes 100%, Go Cart 100% and We really enjoyed the pool area. The beach was 6 minutes away. The only thing is they don’t provide trash bags, so bring your own before arrival. Over all we love it. We we’ll book with them again ! Also, Amazing neighborhood, Everyone is respectful and welcoming.- Posted: 8/28/2022

Great stay!
Overall, it was a great stay, tons of parking, says 2 cars, but we were able to fit 3 cars and a 6 person golf cart in the driveway with ease. Community Hot tub was private away from pool and only one extra large fire pit, so could get crowded (we had one issue bc group of bachelorette party hanging out) bbq pits were out of order (not sure if it was Covid related), next day it was empty...Property manager was quick to respond, although didn’t know much on specific parking info, was just general info. Close to everything on a bike or golf cart, very clean, smelled clean, and was in great condition, tons of light, felt cozy, relaxing and perfect for our 3 couples trip.- Posted: 5/11/2021
Holli, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your vacation rental experience while staying in the perfect 4-bed, 3.5-bath Sandy Cheeks in Highland Park. We are happy to know that you had an overall great stay in this very clean house that your group thought was in great condition, cozy and relaxing and the property manager was quick to respond to any questions and/or issues that arose. We apologize for any issues related to the fire pit and barbeque pits. We unfortunately have no control over such items at a community property. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.Real Joy staff
