We had the best time! The home was just beautiful and location was awesome. Home was stocked well with towels and kitchen utensils. Beds were super comfy! Balconies made for lovely mornings with coffee.
Of note, there were homes being built on either side of the home which honestly didn’t affect us much since we were at the beach most of the time but a heads up would have been good. No beach towels provided so don’t forget to pack those! Trundle bedding was missing but I’m sure if I had called they would have sent over. All in all we would absolutely stay here again! The neighborhood was lovely and the pools are gorgeous. Highly recommend!

Absolutely wonderful experience with RealJoy! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a beautifully appointed space. The location was unbeatable, close to public beach acess. The accommodations were great and very comfortable for my family of 5. Directions were easy to follow and the host was very responsive. Can't wait to return!

This home was beautiful and well taken care of. The kitchen was well stocked and clean. The location was ideal for us as we were there to enjoy the weather, eat great food and ride our bicycles.

Beautiful house, well-kept and clean. Lots of beach chairs, beach toys, beach cruiser bikes, games, puzzles, and books for kids & adults. Large space on main floor and a beautiful, well-appointed kitchen. Loved the three porches and porch swing. Beautiful community with a great pool and gym. Only thing, and it’s not really a criticism, is plan to stop at the nearby Walmart. We’ve rented numerous homes over the years and most had things left from other renters like salt and pepper, coffee filters and sometimes laundry detergent, this house does not have anything except 1 extra roll of paper towel and 1 extra roll of toilet paper per bathroom. They are extra light bulbs, which came in handy for one lamp but no extra AA batteries for the TV remotes, only one of them worked! We stayed 7 nights and brought basics like shampoo, conditioner, and spices L but I didn’t think about coffee filters. I improvised with a paper towel our first morning until I went to Walmart again the next day for a special trip. There’s one small tube of shampoo, conditioner, and a small bar of soap in each bathroom. Again, not deal breakers but helpful to know. This is a nice, private neighborhood and it’s our second time staying in a rental here. Great location and a nice bike ride, or walk if you like walking, to the beach. Three Brothers BBQ and Kith + Kin Coffee are within an easy bike ride away and both are good. Thanks for a great stay.

House is beautifully kept! The beach is about a 6/7 minute car ride. Plan in advance for a golf cart, they were all booked for our trip. (No fault of the hosts, just adding tips.) There is a great BBQ restaurant 3 minutes away! Neighborhood pool is very beautiful, and a quick walk! We loved the house and can check 30A off our bucket list!

Roominess, clean Couches and dining room chairs need to be restuffed

- Posted: 3/17/2023

We really enjoyed the home and it was a perfect set up for us. Our daughter was married at the clubhouse and our location within the neighborhood was ideal. There are a couple maintenance issues that should be addressed, but they did not effect our stay. A very lovely home!

Debi, Thank you for letting us know that you enjoyed this home. We are glad the location was ideal and we congratulate your daughter on her marriage. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

This was a great house! What I loved is that they had all kinds of beach things (chairs,toys,etc.) which is one less thing for us too bring. It was very spacious, clean and had just about everything in the house you could possibly need. The house is not on the beach and does not have a beach access, but we had to drive literally 1 minute down the road so it was not bad at all but parking is limited. If you do not have young children/babies (we had a toddler) you could easily walk there. We loved it and will be back!

Our family loved our stay at this property. The home feels spacious, airy, and has plenty of windows to let in that FL sunshine! The large porches allow for a great indoor/outdoor experience. The neighborhood felt private and the community amenities (pool/gym) were accessible, clean, and fun for the family. Access/Entry instructions were clear per information made available via the Guest Portal. Although not right on the beach, it is only a short drive (a few minutes) from the property and we were able to find parking, beach access, and plenty of space on the beautiful white sandy beaches - even over Memorial Day weekend.

We had a wonderful stay and great vacation. This is the perfect location. Just right off the hustle and bustle of Destin and at the start of 30A. The house was the perfect amount of rooms for what we needed. Loved the balcony with the swing bed. We did miss having the pool floats that were shown in the picture so be sure to bring your own. The pool was fabulous as well as the hot tub. We wish there was direct access to the beach but we ended up at the beautiful Top Sail State Park. That is one you just can't miss. The most gorgeous beach. We also loved getting to see the family of deer walk the neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again. This is a beautiful home, thanks for sharing it.

Please come again soon.

Beautiful home! Decor and furnishings were perfect! Spent a lot of time swinging on the porch as well as taking advantage of the amenities provided by the complex such as the infinity pool and work out room. The neighborhood is quiet and well maintained. Host was quick to respond to questions upon checking in. I would maybe suggest that a combo lock be put on the outside doors so you can gain access to the house that way instead of going through the garage door each time but that is just a personal preference and nothing against the home itself. I would definitely recommend this place!

- Posted: 7/24/2021

We had a great stay here! We have stayed at a number of homes in Cypress Dunes now, as it is one of our favorite neighborhoods, and this was one of our favorite homes. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the outside back deck. It has a dining table on it and, our favorite, a bed swing. The pool and clubhouse are very close as well. Just a note, there was nothing in the kitchen as far as salt, pepper, etc and was only one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom so be prepared to bring those items. We would definitely recommend staying in this house!

- Posted: 6/21/2021

This beautiful home was so welcoming and peaceful. Has all of the amenities you will need to prepare delicious meals (except dish towels) and is close in proximity to many restaurants if you prefer eating out. It’s a great area that isn’t congested like Seaside. It does require a short drive to public beaches. Recommend going to the Topsail State Park next door for the most beautiful beaches. Be aware the queen size room downstairs does not have a stand up shower. Not a big deal to us as they do have a spray head option in the tub. We would rent this home again. The porches are lovely and have very comfortable seating. Also has a very nice gas grill.

I highly recommend this property. The location is excellent, very close to the beach and next to a beautiful state park. The neighborhood is very nice and the tennis courts are in great shape. The house is new with an excellent layout and perfectly equipped. The property was also very clean. Perfect spot, I will come back to this place again!!

We loved staying at this gorgeous house. It was so beautifully decorated and comfortable. More than enough room for our family of five! The neighborhood was safe and quite and the pool was fabulous! We would highly recommend it. The only thing we had an issue with was the lack of simple things that we needed for the kitchen. Only one wash cloth and one towel for dishes. No sponge or cleaning spray. And no garbage bags besides the ones in the garage cans. When I texted them they did bring over some dish towels and garbage bags, so that was nice. It it was just a pain to have to run to the store for a sponge and cleaning supplies while on vacation. Other than that, perfection!

The property is beautiful. My only negative was the Wifi was VERY slow and made any communication/work/surfing the internet futile.

Loved this house! Furnishings, floor plan, and fixtures are all great. Just a few small improvements on the amenities would be great:1) More kitchen towels; 2) a sponge pot scrubber; 3) replace peeling nonstick pots and pans; 4) a few bigger bath towels; 5) a memory foam pad for the master suite bed (it’s too hard!); 6) a fresh box of Kleenex in each bathroom; 7) thoroughly clean the grill; 8) make sure all lamps have light bulbs that work; 9) better placemats; and 10) better can opener.

We were guests here the week of 06/13/20. Given the COVID-19 environment, this was a relatively last-minute booking for us. Have to say, the value of this property is high if this level of accommodations is what you're after. For the price, we received quality accommodations and plenty of room for our party of 7. Loved the main porch, and they even through in cooler June weather for us. We loved sitting on the porch in the evenings! Everyone was comfortable with the rooms and bathrooms, and the kitchen offerings were top notch. Loved the value we received!

Greetings Michael, Thank you for leaving such a wonderful review. We appreciate your feedback and always strive for the best in our accommodations and serving our guest. Please come visit us again for another wonderful family vacation.

The house was everything plus more than we expected! It was close enough to everything but far enough away for comfort and quiet.

Hi Shawn, thank you for your review! We're happy to hear the house was more then expected and we hope you enjoyed the spacious porch and swing! We value your referrals and hope you will come back to visit! Thank you again for your feedback and thank you for staying with Real Joy!

Our family just returned from a10 day stay at "Day is Done". We really enjoyed ourselves, despite the Coronavirus situation. This home feels so loved by its owners and we really appreciated their attention to detail in the furnishings and equipment in the home. Everything was top notch in quality, right down to the can opener, blender and K cup coffee maker, which is the best I have ever used!!! Pots and pans were high quality, as was the cutlery and dishware. These things are important to me, as we like to cook while on vacation. There were even Yeti cups which were personalized with the name of the home on them...pretty cool. Everyone found the beds to be extremely comfy and I slept really well each night the serene master bedroom. The garage was so convenient, and had everything imaginable that you could want for the beach. My husband loved being able to unpack/pack everything inside the garage. The artwork throughout the home is so adorable and really makes you feel comfortable. These owners have amazing taste! We also adored the porch swing and spent a lot of time just enjoying our glass of wine while watching deer and listening to the birds...heaven. We are big music fans, and this home has in wall speakers which was absolutely fantastic. We just connected to it with our phone and were able to listen to our music everywhere in the house, even outside. We are clean freaks, and cleaned the house everyday, just as we would at home. The owners have a Dyson vacuum as well as a couple of other vacuums there, which was delightful for us...just like being at home. Washer and dryer were great and well situated on the main level where most of the laundry was generated. Adored the counter tops in the kitchen which were so easy to keep clean. Amazing gas cooktop and awesome garburator...which is always something we enjoy as we don't have one at home. My only critique was that our wristbands for access to the pool were not in the home upon arrival. My husband connected with the manager of the club house, and we had to obtain them on our own. No real biggie, but stressed us out a bit as the kids were really hot to get to the pool, and this caused a little delay as wrist bands must be worn (although no one there was wearing theirs, but we are rule followers). It was sad that we only had a couple of days to use the pool, before it was shuttered due to the virus, then the beach was closed. Bummer, but we still had fun!
