Wonderful
The house was spacious the only thing that I did not like is the temperature of the house. The house was stuffy especially at night we all woke up with stock up noses. Doesn't seem like the air work at night or something. And the driveway location. We were blocked in or either blocking the neighbors entrance. But other than that we enjoy the house that was enough room. House was clean and had everything that we needed inside. The location was near everything that we wanted to do the arcade the beach the kids enjoyed the pool. I would definitely rent here again

This was our first AirBnb experience. RealJoy's service was outstanding. I never felt as if I didn't have the information I needed nor was I reaching out for information. RealJoy was responses to our requests and always had an answer for us.
The rental was described fairly, and everything met or exceeded our expectations. The home even had eye-level signs to help us along and validate our assumptions. It is a well-designed experience, and I felt they had a value-add towards our vacation. At no point was I concerned or had anxiety about the rental. RealJoy is really in the corner for you.

We stayed at The Sand Castle for a month and loved it! Check-in was easy. The house is spacious, bright, and clean. The kitchen had all the pots, pans, utensils, and dishes we needed. The neighborhood is very tidy. The location is great, close to beach access and restaurants. Management was very attentive, checking with us to make sure everything was as expected. They clearly wanted to make sure we had a good stay. Any questions we had were addressed promptly. We would definitely stay there again.

Loved this location. Perfect place for a larger family. Plenty of room through the house. Our kids were very happy. Close walk to pool. Our only issue was the air thermostat kept going up during the day making it a little uncomfortable at night and during the day. Wasn’t able to figure out how to disable it, but we work our way through it. We would definitely go back!

Easy to find home in gated community. I felt safe. The parking was a bit small as the house is tucked in a tight space. The overall size of the home is pefect for a family of 6. We liked the outdoor area for our puppy. Location is near a waterpark and closed to beach access near a pier. Company was quick to respond with any issues we encountered. I liked the fact that is pet friendly but disagree with the fee, our dog ia 4lbs and stayed in the room with us. We only had a total of 4 rolls of toilet paper for fam of six for 5 days, make sure you also pack shampoo, body wash ect. Overall our stay was great.

This was a wonderful and comfortable house
Beautiful property. House was really nice and furnished very comfortably. Only negative thing was front bedroom carpet was stained but it looked like a year or so old. Back screen porch was great but screen door handle was broken. All in all would stay again and again and again. Thanks RealJoy staff for the great comfortable place.

Property was great. Only issue was main bath sink clogged when we arrived so someone had to have known. The flooring has been neglected of cleaning, otherwise, our trip was fantastic. Would definitely stay again.

If only the weather had been as pleasing as the house! ?
We were very pleased with this house, the weather however was not very cooperative. Lol. The rooms are spacious. There are two king beds, a full size sleeper sofa, a full size bed, a twin over twin bunk, and a pack n play available in the closet, which we didn’t need but it’s there. The linens were fresh and clean. Plenty of dishes. The only thing wrong was the shower head in the bathroom by the garage. The water pressure was amazing but it seemed to be blowing the shower head apart. It’s one of the removable heads which is also amazing but it didn’t seem to hold well against that much pressure and kept blowing apart spraying water everywhere. Other then that I saw no issues at all. I did let them know about it so hopefully they can get it replaced soon. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation!!!! ?
