Loved it
Overall, we loved it. Room was what we expected. Facilities and pool area were perfect. Our kids loved it. Only thing issues we had was that all the dishes and silverware I had to wash before we could use them because they had dried food on it still. Also, main bedroom mattress was terrible and killed our backs.

Great place to stay with kids. Pool area was great . They had lots of stuff to use for the beach . No beach towels though, so we had to run out and get some . Beach is across the street . Restaurant had live music nightly which was a plus .

Nikki, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your vacation. We're glad to hear that the amenities and location were a hit, especially for the kids! We appreciate your feedback on the beach towels for future guests. You should have gotten an email before your arrival letting you know that we don't provide beach towels. We hope to see you and your family again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Beautiful condo. Open floor plan. Gorgeous views of the sunset. About a 15-minute walk to the beach (with kids). Appreciated the wagon with a shade umbrella and 4 beach chairs. The bedding is comfortable. Bunk beds are full-size (not twin) each. The only thing that would have helped is to have a Smart TV setup in the living room to watch with family. There is a smart TV in the master bedroom. The building is old but clean and well-maintained. If you like good customer service, do not eat at the restaurant downstairs. There are pools for all ages. Beautiful poolside landscaping. The location is central. A shuttle to the beach was appreciated as well as a closed garage parking. Next time we will look for something closer to the water to optimize vacation time. Overall this is a very nice place.

Our stay in Destin was pleasant and peaceful. The beaches and local restaurants were great. The condo itself was amazing with a gym, pool and restaurant/bar located on the property. We look forward to coming back next year.

This was a great place for a family vacation. The resort pool was huge and mostly shallow which was great for kids. Nice gym and the coffee at the coffee shop was really good.
The condo was just as described but they had some extras I didn’t see in the description in the listed amenities. They have a wagon and beach chairs available!
If you are active military or a veteran; Elgin Air Force Base as a private beach about 10 minutes down the road for only $5. We went 2 days and it’s awesome. Private beach with restrooms and pavilions and no knuckleheads. You can rent umbrellas and chairs there plus the have beverages and snacks to purchase.
Tons of stuff to do around the resort and plenty of restaurants to choose from. I’d go back.

Palms of Destin has a huge pool, a playground, and a basketball court that my husband and son really enjoyed. You have to drive to get to the beach but we're ok with that. Henderson State Beach is the closest to this location, which is better than Miramar Beach, in my opinion. The place is clean, near to many activities and restaurants. The condo also has a great view of the sunset. Condos with pool view cost more; I'm glad I chose this condo and spent less. Just note that the washer/dryer is inside the 2nd bedroom and that the 2nd bedroom does not have an actual door to the connecting bathroom. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.
