St. Lucia 1002

We stay at Silver Shells at least 3-4 times each year. Realjoy is by far the best customer service we have experienced. Any small ask has always been taken care of immediately. They are truly a company where the customer is always taken care of. We will be back in June to rent four units for our entire family! We are looking forward to it!

House was very clean and very accommodating!!! Well done!

This was a great unit that was easily accessible and we had no issues. Will definitely stay here again.

Listing is through an agency so it’s something between a home rental airbnb and an extended stay hotel. For example, great kitchen with good cookware available, but none of the small conveniences you would find at a lived in Airbnb which would facilitate the kitchen’s use (like oil, salt and pepper etc) nor even coffee/tea/sugar as a hotel would provide. They were very communicative and attentive, with an available number to call but the people on the other end (understandably) had no knowledge of the actual unit so were of limited help over the phone. Someone had to physically come to the unit to resolve an issue with the televisions; the good: someone was sent at 9:00pm and was very helpful, supplying the functioning remote that was missing. That service was great but it took more effort than would have been necessary in a more traditional airbnb (where I’ve never had this issue) or an actual hotel. Otherwise decent location, easy checkin, nice beach, excellent facilities.

The condo was great. It was true to the pictures and had everything we needed. The property was also nice. We spent a lot of time on the pickleball courts.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this condo! I could wake up to that view everyday. The amenities were excellent as well. We cooked fish on the grill, hung out by the beautiful pool, listened to live music and enjoyed hours of watching our kids enjoy the sand and surf. We will definitely be back soon!

I brought my goddaughter and visiting 5yr old granddaughter to Destin for a short vacay. This property was perfect for us. It was private with gated access so it felt safe and exclusive. The view was decent as we could see the main pool and parts of the beach. The pool and beach access was so convenient and just what we needed. The location was convenient to restaurants and stores. I would definitely stay here again.

Love Silver Shells and our room was amazing as always.

- Posted: 6/20/2022

This is our first time staying in Destin and it couldn't have been better. The location of the condo was great. It was a gated community which we loved. The condo had exactly the view I expected and looked just like it was described. My only complaint was a lack of key fobs to get around the community. They only had 2 and we could have used 3 or 4. Small problem to have. Fantastic pools, hot tubs and access to the beach.

- Posted: 3/28/2022

Would definitely visit again

clean , spacious place! Perfect for those with smaller children who need to be able to run around vs a hotel room. Only down fall is from the pictures of be ordering condo, I was lead to believe that once. I walked out of our condo we would be onto the beach, that there was an indoor pool, and the outlet was right beside us. Other than that, great stay!

The property is located near a lot of stores, such as Walmart and Publix. Beautiful condo, beautiful view, convenient to the beach. I was under the impression that I could have a beach view balcony. It is not located exactly on the beach, a couple of feet from the beach. Balcony view is behind other condos.

Loved the property We were not exactly sure on where to park at first, and we were not sure if the bikes in the parking garage were usable by renters.

- Posted: 5/15/2021

It was great and wonderful!!

- Posted: 5/8/2021

Beautiful, very clean room. Larger than expected and fully stocked with essentials. Location is behind St Martaan so the view to see the gulf is at an angle between the buildings. We had just expected a more direct gulf view.

- Posted: 4/15/2021

Wonderful property, beautiful views, overall excellent stay!

We stayed for few days. The place and the complex are very nice and luxurious.
The responses from the host were quick. Just a bit of difficulty to get in the first time.

- Posted: 9/14/2020

Found this condo when we made a last minute decision to go to the beach. Silver Shells never disappoints. Crystal clear water and gorgeous weather.

Amazing place! The only down side was in our stay that we drove 13 hrs (very tired) and came to a dirty unit that hasn't been cleaned. We had to wait for 1hr for them to clean the unit and give us new towels and bed sheets. And also they threw away our food we brought with us, that was in the fridge. Just because the cleaning people didn't understand English at all(they probably thought it was from previous people that stayed there), even tho I tried to explain to them as much i I can!?? But thats ok! We enjoyed every moment at this resort! Amazing place for a family vacation! Recommend ?

- Posted: 6/3/2020

Thank you so much for your feedback and for staying with Real Joy.
