We loved our stay, the home was beautiful and right on the bay, within walking distance to a beach and close driving distance to all attractions. The bunk bed room is not a bedroom, it’s super small and if you have someone who doesn’t like small spaces it will be an issue. The kitchen has all the dishes and cookware you could ever need but there are zero spices not even salt and pepper so plan on buying everything you need to cook. Lots of beach toys and yard games and the neighborhood was really quiet.

We loved the house, my son is stationed at Eglin and it was a short drive for him and we could walk to the beach, access
We had Plenty of space, the location was good not in super busy area but still still close enough to the hot spots and the neighborhood was quiet. The beds were comfy and the kitchen has every dish or pot and pan you could ever need. Plenty of towels for showering and lots of toys for the beach and yard games for just chilling at the house. The bunk bed room is way too small for the amount of beds. You cannot use it as a real bedroom for anyone especially if they have issues with small enclosed spaces. There are no spices not even salt and pepper so if you’re going to cook count on buying everything.

The house was beautiful, and having 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths was ideal for our family. Restaurants, grocery stores, and beaches were close by—we walked to places quite frequently! Check-in was very easy and the communication was abundant.

I had an amazing stay at this property! The house was spotlessly clean, which made me feel right at home. Its location is unbeatable—just a 3-minute walk to the beach, which was super convenient. The best part was the view of the Santa Rosa Sound; the sunsets were absolutely breathtaking. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway

We had such an great time at this house. The location is so convenient, near by shopping stores, restaurants, dolphin shows… The rooms were clean, especially the water view is amazing. And there are so many things fun activities to do for adults and for kids! The beach was absolutely beautiful and was just a nice short walk. The community pool was clean and refreshing. I love this house. We will definitely be coming back!

Nice vacation area and place to stay, lots of room at this RealJoy location for the family of 10. Short walk to the ocean, but after this first walking trip with the little ones, we decided to drive to the public parking area for all other trips.
Our trip was loaded with lots of events with the main one being Ocean Water Fun.
Other fun events were mini golf, dolphin tour, golfing, offshore fishing, boardwalk fun and shopping, and of course lots of food to keep everyone happy.

RealJoy is a great responsive host, and the townhouse is awesome. it has everything you need and more for a beach vacation. our family includes kids from 1 year old to grandma at 70, and everyone loves it. The house has so much to offer, including beach toys for kids, adults, tents, floats, life vests, etc. basically anything you can think of. We love the bay view, the kids love the shallow water right at the back yard, the white sand area, and the pool is a plus. We definitely recommend the place to others and will be back another time.

Had a fabulous stay. Everything from dishes pillows, extra blankets, and linens was what made to stay. An awesome vacation. Only thing we found not fabulous was the hand soaps were hard to even lather like a cheap motel and there was absolutely no seasonings salt or pepper, or otherwise so advising future guest to bring their own soaps and seasonings for meals would have been appropriate. Thank you for making such a beautiful place affordable and available.

John, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. We're thrilled to hear you had a fabulous stay and appreciated the attention to detail. You should have gotten an email prior to your stay letting you know that we provide starters of kitchen and bathroom essentials so you should plan to bring these items from home or purchase them once you get here. This is for safety reasons. We'd love to have you back for another awesome vacation. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

The place is beautiful and in a great location. The bunk room is really small and not suitable for 6 kids, probably should only have one bunk bed in there. We will be staying there again!!!

The townhouse we ended up staying in was beautiful however we had originally chose a house in a different location. Real joy changed our location 5 days before our vacation due to maintenance.
I feel like the house we originally chose should not have been listed as available if it was under maintenance. With that being said RealJoy did provide us with free tickets for an excursion which we all enjoyed, it was just frustrating to change locations 5 days before our planned trip. There was also some poor communication with the check in time. Overall it was a decent experience.
The home we stayed in was beautiful and in a great location just in a different area than what we had planned.
