Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed the space—and how amazing that you got to see baby dolphins from the balcony! The Gulf always has a few surprises up its sleeve. We'd love to have you back anytime for more views, relaxation, and maybe another dolphin sighting or two!

Oh my goodness! This place is absolutely breathtaking! The view from the balcony is worth every penny!!! The condo is super nice and was more than we could have hoped for! We wanted and needed for nothing. It was the perfect vacation, and we so hope to come again next summer!! RealJoy was the best host ever! Their communication and concern for their guests exceeds anything I've ever experienced with past hosts!

This condo and location is the best! The view was amazing, the pools, hot tubs and cleanliness was wonderful! Perfect for my daughter and I. I was very impressed with the elevator situation, hardly no wait at all. Felt very safe with 24 hour security, you can not get into the parking lot without showing your wrist bands. Only complaint I have was the mattress on the king bed wasn’t to my liking other than that it was great.

Great condo on the beach with all the amenities you could want. The pool was great with a Tiki bar close by for a mixed drink or cold soda or snack. Easy to walk to things close by to, great place will be back

My family of 3 really enjoyed our stay. The condo had everything we needed. The view from the balcony was beautiful and we spotted many dolphins in the morning. It was clean with comfy beds. My daughter loved the bunk beds. Check in was easy. Real Joy was a great host responding quickly with questions. The location was great and the resort staff were also helpful. The pool was clean and heated. The Tiki Bar and Bikini Bob's restaurant were a nice plus at this resort. I would recommend it again.

Wonderful views of the gulf and sunset. Close to shopping, stores, and adventures such as dolphin tours and parasailing. Beds are comfortable and kitchen has what is needed to make meals. Secure location with coded access to the parking lot and pool area from the beach.

Beautiful place
Had a great time staying at the Summit. Spectacular views from our condo room 1426. Got to see dolphin swimming in the morning and evening, also got to see quite a few stingrays and jellyfish. There was a ton of shells and people was catching lots of blue crab every day. The beach was clean the staff was awesome.

Our recent stay at this condo through RealJoy Vacation Rentals was nothing short of perfect! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this property was as stunning in person as it was in the photos. My family of five had more than enough space to relax and enjoy our time together, and the condo's thoughtful touches made our stay truly special.
The inclusion of games and beach toys was a fantastic bonus that kept our kids entertained and added an extra layer of fun to our beach adventure. We also spent countless hours on the balcony, marveling at the breathtaking view and even spotting dolphins playing in the distance—a magical experience that we'll cherish forever.
RealJoy's attention to detail and commitment to providing a top-notch vacation experience really shone through. We're already looking forward to our next trip and will definitely be booking through RealJoy again. Thank you for making our family vacation so memorable!
