Terrific
We had a wonderful stay. The condo was updated and very comfortable. The rental company was easy to contact and always ready to help us when we needed anything or had questions.- Posted: 3/8/2025

May never stay anywhere else!
Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Plenty of room for the kids to play, and the beds were super comfortable. Best part though.. definitely the HUGE corner balcony!! When we weren’t on the beach or in the pool (which was great!), we were soaking in the view from the balcony. Huge plus that it was a lower level condo - perfect with small children! Highly recommend!- Posted: 12/21/2024

Wonderfully beautiful condo!
Every single thing about our condo and our experience was A+ except one thing. There was a bull dozer type huge vehicle moving sand right outside our balcony (we were on the 4th floor) so in the morning and through the afternoon we heard metal hitting the ground and banging and that lovely "beep beep beep beep" when the vehicle went backward or forward. This has nothing to do with the owners or mgmt. of the property, it was just a little unfortunate part of the timing of our stay. Restated...the rest of the experience was BEAUTIFUL and CLEAN, and as CLASSY as can be.- Posted: 3/14/2024
Deborah, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're so glad to hear that your overall experience was beautiful, clean, and classy, despite the inconvenience caused by the construction noise. We appreciate your understanding and hope the timing aligns better for your next visit. We look forward to having you stay with us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.Real Joy staff

Great thank except
Many of the electrical outlets did not work, dishwasher only worked on pots and pans mode, limited kitchen supplies for cooking.- Posted: 8/18/2022
Mitzie, Thank you for the 5-star review. We wish you had let us know about these issues during your stay. If we had known, we would have sent someone to assist you. Many modern homes have a light switch that controls the outlets and we suspect this is why some of yours didn't work. We will take an inventory of the kitchen and a look at the dishwasher at our next opportunity. We hope you enjoyed some time on our beautiful beaches and had a safe trip home. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.Real Joy staff

Amazing Time!
This trip was a girls trip for me, my daughter and daughter in law for our yearly Girl's Trip. From the moment we arrived we loved this room! Perfect location and it looks just like the pictures. The bedrooms are large and very roomy. I stayed in the king bedroom and the bed was extremely comfy and bathroom was big! I had my own sliding door to go out on balcony also. The view of the ocean was amazing. I loved the covered parking also. This end of the beach was less crowded and we loved that! Would definitely stay here again!- Posted: 8/1/2022

The condo is in a quieter part of the beach. Took a pop up tent and camp chairs to stay out all day. Smaller pool with a 30 person capacity, but never was past capacity. We ate out a lot so never really got a feel for kitchen stock. The beds were comfortable and had plenty of closet space. Overall spent a nice relaxing week and our host checked in to make sure all was well.- Posted: 6/24/2022

Great ocean view
If you want a nice clean updated place to stay this is it. The view of the beach was awesome! Comfortable beds and large balcony. The balcony doors open up and there are screen slides, great for being able to hear the beach. My only complaint would be there are no curtains on the balcony doors in the living room. Would be nice to close at night so people can't see in. Thanks for a great weekend.- Posted: 2/22/2022
Angela, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your great weekend stay in this two-bed, two-bath Gulfview unit. We are happy to know that you found this updated property to be nice and clean with a large balcony, an awesome view of the beach, and comfortable beds. We will forward your comment regarding the curtains to property managers so that they may provide any suggestions to the owner of this condo. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.Real Joy staff

Great place to stay! Beautiful views of the beach, both for sunrise and sunset. Access to the beach was easy and I loved the lounging chairs they provided on the beach. The condo was clean and very comfortable to stay in. Kitchen was great to cook in. Access to grocery stores, good restaurants, and great ice cream places was easy with a car. There are sidewalks on both sides of Thomas Dr so very walkable too! Will definitely be back!- Posted: 10/22/2021

Property was beautiful. Beautiful view. Beds were clean and comfortable. Has the most comfortable furniture I've had in a condo rental. Communication with rental services was easy and fast.
