This was a beautiful location and home. We had most everything we needed for a pleasant experience. It’s nestled in a quiet neighborhood. We had one minor issue but they resolved it fairly quickly. The homes greatest quality is the large kitchen and common space.
If you have kids the best location is Camp Helen state park for beach. It’s a short hike to the beach but it was so quiet, peaceful, and not crowded at all. The walk to Rosemary beach wasn’t far either but beaches further along are private beaches you won’t have access to. We will definitely be back to this area to stay.

We appreciate your understanding with the minor issue and look forward to welcoming you back to RealJoy for your next stay!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this amazing Airbnb house in Florida, and it exceeded all my expectations! The location was perfect, situated close to stunning beaches, great restaurants, and fun local attractions. The house itself was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities one could ask for.
The spacious living areas, cozy bedrooms, and modern kitchen made it feel like a true home away from home. We particularly enjoyed the private pool and the serene outdoor patio, which provided a perfect spot for morning coffee and evening relaxation.
The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, ensuring that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their thoughtful touches, such as a welcome basket and local recommendations, made our trip even more special.
I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a fantastic getaway in Florida. We will definitely be returning on our next visit!

Loved our stay. A quick drive to the beach and shopping/dining. Easy walk to the community pool. The home is beautiful and comfortable - perfect for our family vacation. I wouldn’t say it’s walkable to dining and entertainment just because there isn’t a sidewalk, but everything is nearby which makes it ideal. Would stay again!
