We have stayed at multiple places in Sunnyside over the years but this was our favorite as far as location and proximity to the beach. We enjoyed the private deck off the primary bedroom and being able to walk directly across the street to a beautiful beach that had no other buildings around it. We were concerned about it being a townhome style but never heard any of our neighbors. Very quiet and peaceful. It’s the perfect spot for a family looking to relax and enjoy the serene beaches of the Gulf!

We loved our stay! We stay in this area every year because it’s less crowded and you aren’t stacked on top of everyone. I loved how easy the walk to the beach was from the house. The host was very quick to address any issues or questions that I had. We hope to be back!

The townhouse was beautiful. Very well appointed and extremely clean. Gulf access was right across the street. The beach in this area is not very crowded which is a nice change from being down by the high-rises. The beach is a very short walk.
Dishes, silverware and appliances were all of very good quality.
We could have used a few more trash bags, and one or two more dishwasher tablets. The arrival information did indicate there would only be starter paks, but things like purchasing dishwasher tablets on vacation should not be necessary in a unit this nice.
It also would have been good to have a couple chairs for the beach, chairs are difficult to bring with you when you travel.
We had zero issues with the unit, and no reason to contact the management company at all.
The stairs to the upstairs are very steep, and there is only one rail. This was a bit of an issue for one of our group.

It was a very good stay and a lovely place. I would highly recommended it golfor a family.

Dawn, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your vacation. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the beautiful townhouse and the convenient, less crowded beach access. You should have gotten an email prior to your stay letting 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're glad to hear there were no issues during your stay, though we note your concern about the stairs. We’d love for you to come back and have another great experience with us. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

It was really nice being so close to the beach. The front and back porch had hoses to wash off sand. The beach was never busy, at times we were the only ones there. Great private area but close to stores n such. As for the house itself, it was clean. Bed was comfortable. Nice to have washer n dryer.

Hidden Gem!!
We stayed at this property for Memorial Day weekend and had the best time. The condo is directly across the street from private beach access and between the two tourist sides of Rosemary and PCB, so each time we went we were always the first ones there with no crowds. The condo was very clean. If you are thinking about it, book it!

Great location if you don’t want to be in the middle of everything! We loved the close walk to the (not crowded) beach, the patio shower and the sleeping arrangements for our family of 5 (plus 1). There wasn’t any laundry detergent there, so we had to buy some…and hand soap for the bathrooms. But, overall the location and the master bedroom and deck that overlooks the ocean was amazing!!

Everything was great. The apt is very near the beach; you just need to cross the road. The apt was clean, and the kitchen has all items you need to cook, the washing and dryer machines are very helpful in a beach place, especially with kids. The beach is not crowded, the sea is clean, the water is clear. A wonderful place. I will definitely come back.

We loved this townhome! This is the first time that we have stayed across the street from the beach. The beach access was very convenient and an easy walk for my family. We have a 6 and 8 year old and we were a little worried that the walk may be a bit far while carrying our beach gear but it was not bad at all! Also the beach was not crowded. We always prefer to stay on this end of town because it is so much quieter and this place did not disappoint.
Another thing that I appreciated about the unit is that there were plenty of towels and washcloths, the unit was very clean, and they provided a good amount of starter necessities such as soap, TP, dishwasher tabs etc. We would love to stay here again.
