Condo was beautiful and the facilities were great. Location was perfect with everything so close, even the airport.

- Posted: 3/20/2025

This place was amazing. So easy to get to from airport and close to everything. We really enjoyed our visit and the weather was great except it was a bit windy. Most definitely will come back.

- Posted: 3/20/2025

We love all the amenities offered. Our place was more than enough room for the two of us. RealJoy responded promptly when we contacted for several small problems early in our stay. Our suggestion to improve the overall appearance is to replace all rugs which show wear and have seen better days. This goes for the couch pillows as well. Bedding in the master bedroom was lacking. The top sheet wasn’t even large enough to cover the whole bed. There were no extra blankets so I had to purchase a throw to use in the living room and the bedroom on chilly nights. These are minor fixes that would add to comfort and first impression! We love Silver Shells and plan to return next year.

Fantastic time! Thank you for your hospitality!

Very clean and a wonderful experience! Decoration in The condo was beautiful. Both bathrooms had amazing showers. The master bathroom show had extra sprayers all in it. You could use the ocean and it was very peaceful and beautiful. Conveniently located next to Walmart. Only dislike would be there is so much security gates, you have to use an access card to get in.

Excellent location- great private beach area - great beach bar too with nice staff - view from room balcony is fun - you get some beautiful beach views and can see down the city too because you are up on a high level. Excellent choice! Nothing not to like

We loved it! The property is so clean and well maintained. The kiddos loved the amenities. The condo was very clean and provided plentiful space for my family of four. This was my first time booking with RealJoy so I was worried about accessing the property, but it was so simple! We’ll be back for sure!

This was my first time booking a VRBO. And all I can say is no more hotels for me! This property has its fair share of rules, but its worth it! The property is very clean and well maintained. The amenities and location were perfect for my family of 4. We liked to people watch from the balcony. We were minutes from the beach. This condo was so nice! We had plenty of space. It appreciate the little extras like the books, games, and extra beach equiptment. Check in/out was so easy! They even checked on us mid trip which was really nice. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Real Joy staff

It was a good time place was great and very nice a clean. One small detail and it might be my fault for miss reading. I thought beach chairs and umbrella were including. Did not realize it was an extra 325 for the week if we wanted to rent them. It might have been a mistake on my part just might want to make that more clear in the description. Otherwise it was great and everyone was very nice.

- Posted: 11/1/2022

Cassie, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're sorry that you were confused about the beach service.

We had an amazing time at this location for our honeymoon! The condo was clean, seemed newly renovated and was gorgeous! The view from the balcony could have been better but was accurately represented on line so not a surprise... the only downside was that the Jacuzzi tub (a big selling point for me!) Didn't work... I was especially disappointed that the response I received simply was that yep... it doesn't work and it won't be fixed during your stay... did it ruin my stay? No! But I would have liked a better explanation for the seeming lack of effort to fix a promised amenity...

- Posted: 9/9/2022

Rebecca, We are glad to know that you had an amazing honeymoon. We apologize for the jacuzzi tub not working properly. We should have just told you that it can not be fixed. The part it needs is no longer manufactured. We are truly sorry and have changed the listing so the next guests are not left feeling disappointed. We're glad everything else about your stay was great. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Real Joy staff

Our condo was just as listed. I thought it would be more on the beach but we could see the ocean from our balcony. That was fine. The resort was great and felt very secure. The pool was huge and had various depth levels which was great for our 2 children. Overall great condo and would return in future if go back to Destin!

Took my mom here for her birthday. It was her first time to Destin so the expectation was high. The condo was very nice, clean, A/C worked great, pool was nice and is an easy walk to the beach. The only thing is, the condo is in the airport landing/takeoff pattern so it could get a little noisy if you were sitting on the balcony. But nothing unbearable. We enjoyed ourselves and mom was super happy. I would stay here again.

Gina, We are thrilled that your Mom was happy with her birthday trip. We're glad you enjoyed yourselves. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Real Joy staff

A beautiful and very clean condo that was convenient to everything we needed. Great gulf views. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great getaway! Wish we had better weather this week, but it was a good trip despite the rain. Our only suggestion would be to provide more detailed check-in information such as a map that shows where exactly to enter the resort (since google maps takes you to the side of the condo with no access and we were first time visitors to Destin), the guard gate, and instructions to the parking garage. Also mark which outdoor parking lots are useable. The map should also show the gates you can access with the fob to enter different areas, including using the large pool and beach access. It took us a while to figure out these things but, overall, it was great and we plan to return.

- Posted: 5/30/2022

Steve, We appreciate your thoughtful recommendations regarding information for check-in. We will take them into consideration. We're sorry that the weather wasn't cooperative but are glad you had a good time anyway. We look forward to seeing you next time. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Great condo except for the late check in if you are flying in. You have to wait until 4:00 to get into the room which is understandable but they should allow you to wait in the lobby area if you are flying in and have to take a private vehicle to the resort.

- Posted: 7/13/2021

Hi Leighton, thank you for your review! We hope you enjoyed the many onsite amenities and the short walk to the beach. The late check in is needed to allow time for staff to clean and for any maintenance or repairs to be done before the next guests arrive.

I was a bit hesitant to book this condo as this is an ocean-view condo, not ocean-front. However, after booking it and visiting here I can recommend it with no hesitation. It actually exceeded my expectations as the ocean is plenty visible! The layout worked out well and the showers were amazing!! It is updated and beautifully decorated and a comfortable home away from home.

We come every year to Silver Shells and always enjoy our stay. This condo is beautiful and nicely decorated. The only issue we had was that it was dirty, like really dirty. Since we came during covid we brought supplies and planned to clean anyway so we were prepared but dirty floors, hair in pillow cases, ashes all over balcony, and hair in bathtubs. Ugh! Not the owners fault but whomever cleans isn’t cleaning, and we paid a cleaning fee!
