Spring Break visit
We really enjoyed this resort! 5 min walk to beach or you could take the shuttle. The water current at beach was high (double red flags), so we didn’t get to spend as much time in the water, but the resort’s pool and amenities made up for it. Good vibes Cafe and the coffee shop are so cute and fun, and everything was great! Loved the convenience of having so much onsite. The condo was clean and as described. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you!

Place was exactly as described. Very cozy, clean and had a nice pool view. Pool was big and kids friendly too. The only downside was the bed from the master room, somewhat lumpy and uncomfortable to sleep in. Besides that everything else was perfect, including the convenient location!! We will definitely stay again there on our next visit :)

Comfortable condo, with nice view of entire pool area but with height to feel private. The mattresses need to be replaced but other furniture very comfortable. Felt cozy and clean. The resort has well kept grounds and amenities, we especially liked the bistro for breakfast and all day tropical drinks. Our kids were entertained by expansive pool. The beach can't be beat given its only 2 blocks away, we had the best of both worlds..... beach or great pool.

Erin, Thank you for letting us know that you were comfortable and cozy. We will pass along your comments regarding the mattresses to the owner for their consideration. We're glad your family enjoyed the pool and the beach. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

We moved from this area in 2020, leaving a son and grandchildren behind. When we come for visits we need a place for gathering and playing. The outside spa and heated pool allowed for family fun in the sun. On the 24th we were able to enjoy the live music from our balcony playing from the cafe. This place was quite enjoyable and reasonably priced.

Excellent condo! The location is great, right across the street from the beach and close to great restaurants. The pool area is huge and never too crowded. The room was clean and had all of the necessities. Great view overlooking the pool. I also loved the convenience of having a restaurant and a coffee shop right inside the building. My whole family loved it and we can’t wait to come back!

Pool is awesome for kids!
The condo was nice, except the master bath was clogged and they weren’t able to come out until the next day to fix it. Everything else was as listed and nice. Worked perfectly for our family of 5. The pool was amazing and the beach is a short 3 min drive. You can walk, but not ideal with littles. There is a shuttle to use.

Our room was great!!! Spacious and had everything we needed for a week stay at the resort. Best part is being centrally located and access to anywhere we wanted to go via golf cart we rented. Resort was amazing, especially the huge swimming pool. View from balcony was great too!

This place was perfectly located, super clean, instructions were super easy to follow! HOWEVER, there is no extra ANYTHING in the way of toiletries.. there's one roll of paper towels, one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, two dishwasher pods and no laundry detergent. So you have to go the extra mile to get that type of stuff, but it's literally not even a mile to Walmart :)

This was my first air bnb experience and it was great. The room was clean and spacious and the view was great. I reached out a few days prior to see if there would be an iron and was told yes, although there was not. Not a super big deal so I still give 5 stars. Will book again next time I’m in town.
