Destin on the Gulf 401

This place was perfect. At the bottom of the stairs was the pool, and right past the pool was the beach. Literally steps. The reserved chairs and umbrella were so convenient, and the closet full of beach toys made it all so easy. The actual home was lovely, with comfy beds and all the kitchen utensils you could need. The balcony with the tables and chairs was a great way to start the day. I've been in a lot of rentals with my family, and this was easily the best.

Loved the location! Very quiet beach and quiet neighbors! The pool was perfect and family friendly for us to hangout with the other families of the condo. When the fridge gave out the last day we weren’t offered other accommodations to save our food for over 10 hours. And by the time they offered us ice the food was already hours spoiled.

Muy recomendable. Fuimos a pasar Navidad en familia. La ubicación es muy buena con bajada a la playa.
Lo único malo que le encontramos, era que el ascensor no funcionó casi toda la estadía, así que tuvimos que usar las escaleras. Pero definitivamente volveríamos a ir.

Do to Covid and family’s being out of the area it was very hard getting our dream out of the country wedding! We got married on Friday headed down to the beach after it was perfect to spend time with loved ones on our special day! Y’all made it easy and had a home touch that was absolutely perfect!! Thank you! I have already recommended this particular location to many fiends and family!!

Real Joy staff

The Condo was clean and nicely decorated. The way the building is situated on the property gives every unit a good beach/water view. The complimentary beach chairs and umbrella were a plus. Negatives: The pool is nice but a little small to handle everyone and needs umbrellas desperately. We left a couple items in the unit and I notified the management company and they were not helpful at all. Very disappointing.

- Posted: 7/14/2022

Nancy, Thank you for the 5-star review. We are sorry that you are missing some items that you believe you left behind. Unfortunately, the cleaners did not turn in anything and by the time you let us know, someone else was in the unit. We're glad that you enjoyed the water view and the beach service and we hope you had a safe trip home.

Real Joy staff

The property was very impressive. Clean, up-to-date, beautiful decorations.. Very convenient to beach. Loved that it included 2 chairs and umbrella on beach., Would love to stay here again.

Melanie, Thank you for letting us know that the property was impressive. We're glad you enjoyed the beach and the chair service. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Real Joy staff

We loved the quiet location on Holiday Isle. The beaches were not crowded like other areas of Destin. The condo was extremely clean, and exactly as described. The view was spectacular! We would definitely stay here again. The included beach chair service was a nice bonus. Having access to more beach chairs in the storage area was great too. I would highly recommend this condo and if we are ever in Destin again we will try to rent it again.

- Posted: 4/19/2022

First time in Destin as well as using an AirBnB. We had a wonderful experience! The room was super clean and the kitchen had all the requirements that someone would need. The washer and dryer worked well and left us with one less thing to do when we arrive back at home. The two bathrooms and bedrooms were very convenient for our family. Ocean view room as well as the location of this property to restaurants, stores, and attractions were all less than a 2 mile radius. Thank you again!

Linda, We are glad you had a wonderful experience at Destin on the Gulf. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
