Great location - right on the beach. The unit was super clean, and spacious. The parking garage is a little tight, but manageable. The pool was clean and well maintained too. Will definitely be staying here again.

Our stay with Real Joy was absolutely wonderful! The pictures on the website were exactly as shown, which made us feel confident before we even arrived. The location was perfect—right on the beach with a beautiful resort atmosphere.
Check-in was smooth and easy (A1 service!), and everyone we encountered was so friendly and welcoming. It was my very first trip to Panama City Beach, and it couldn’t have been better. My friends and I (ladies’ trip!) had an amazing time enjoying the view, relaxing, and exploring.
The condo and resort made the whole trip feel special, and we’re already planning to return. Highly recommend Real Joy for anyone looking for a stress-free, beautiful stay right on the beach! 🌊☀️

Hi Martina,
Thanks for the wonderful review. I’m glad the photos matched reality and that the beachfront location and resort atmosphere were perfect for your first trip to Panama City Beach. Happy to hear check-in was smooth and our team was welcoming. It sounds like the ladies’ trip was a success—we’d love to host you again whenever you’re ready to return.
Best,

We had a wonderful time! They went over and beyond to check in and make sure we had what we needed. I realized we were missing extra sheets for the sofa and not only did I have someone respond back immediately about the issue they resolved it. Jenna was so helpful and sent someone out with the bedding for us. It was actually A Real Joy to deal with them!

Beautiful beachfront
We loved the property overall. Great facility with a full compliment of amenities around the pool/beach areas. Close to most attractions and food. The security was top notch. We will definitely return. Our unit was managed by RealJoy Vacations and their communication with us before, during, and after our stay showed how conscientious they are about their business. I will highly recommend both VRBO and RealJoy Vacations.

Love Shores of Panama!
This is our third year visiting Shores of Panama. The resort is absolutely beautiful. This condo offered an incredible view of both the ocean and the resort pool. The condo was clean, with comfortable beds, and close to elevator. We had to contact the host before arrival and were very happy to have a quick response! Being completely truthful, not wanting to trick anyone with my review, the only con of this resort for us was the slow elevators and the tight parking deck. With that being said, that has never kept us from rebooking. Year three down, can’t wait for four!
