"Fabulous Location - This place was perfect! Right on a very beautiful beach, private, quiet, easy biking distance to several restaurants and shops. We did use the pullout sofa for two teens and the mattress could stand an upgrade. But the rest of the accommodations - the king bed, the bathroom, the kitchen - were all nice, new, well equipped. There's a safe place to store bikes and beach equipment outside on the ground floor and the porch was a great place for shoes and towels. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again."

"One of the nicest vacation experiences of my life, and I traveled Europe for two years. - Beautiful condo right on the beach, gorgeously decorated, well equipped, and very comfortable.
Convenient to everything.
The deck exposure was to the east so we got to see the sunrise, but it only allowed us a small sliver of ocean view."

It had all of the amenities we needed and they communication was fantastic! Available 24/7.
The location was right on point. We love walking to the beach and being able to leave our provisions at the condo because it was so close to the beach. "

"Excellent Last Minute Getaway - We planned/booked our trip within 12 hours of leaving to head down and had the best experience! Space was small, but perfect size for me, my husband, and our infant. Perfect location to be near Seaside but still away from the hustle! We were unsure about who to use for chair rentals and reached out to several companies - we ended up going with Southern Resort Beach Services and they were incredible. Highly recommend if you are in need of a chair set up!"
Stayed November 2022
"Blue Mountain Beach trip - This is a great property for a true getaway. It has been beautifully updated. We would probably rent a place with a balcony directly overlooking the water next time, though the walk to the beach is just a couple of minutes. We enjoyed the property very much !"

"Adorable condo !! Steps to beach - Great location, short walk from bakery. Right on the beach with private gate. Gate had been taped open for easier access so management should probably look into that ! Condo was decorated so nice. Had everything we needed. This comfortably slept 2 people. I would not have wanted 4 people there ! Super clean with the exception of a moldy shower curtain ! Overall we enjoyed our stay and would go back!"

"Great Weekend at Blue Mountain Beach - This was the perfect getaway place for my husband and I to spend the weekend on short notice. The unit is beautifully decorated and updated. The beach was not crowded at all near this small building which makes the beach much more enjoyable. We walked many miles on my favorite white sand and the water was so blue. There were alot of people fishing and it was fun watching them pull in their many catches. We had a great time and will return as much as we can before we close on a house in the area. you do not have a fullview of the gulf since it is located on the left side of the building but when you spend all your time on the beach it just doesn't matter. We made two trips to the Blue Mountain Creamery which has fantastic flavors of ice cream. My fave was the peach but there were many more to choose from. It was a great last minute vacation away for a long weekend and was worth every dollar spent!"

The condo size was cozy and perfect for us! The beach was beautiful, and quiet. We saw baby manta rays and sharks all week. So wonderful! Would definitely stay here again!"

"Perfect beach vacay! - This property is honestly better than described! Could not be more convenient as well as lovely decorations and so so clean! I am usually extremely hesitant in staying in Any non hotel rental but this blew me away! Chairs and umbrellas on beach available to use were a huge plus for us and the walk was short enough you didn’t mind going in for a cooler restock. Will definitely be back!"
Stayed July 2021
"Very nice and cozy - It was a great place with all the amenities you would need.
Quick walk to the beach and very quiet.
I just didn't realize until I got there that you could rent chairs and umbrellas so I would not have brought my own. Also, the rental had its own set to use. The beach itself was very private, so it wasn't crowded at all. But the only downside was not due to the rental unit itself, but was that those persons who rented chairs/umbrellas took over the front portion of the sand and those who did not rent were relegated to the back with blocked views. :("

"Very comfortable with ease to the beach. - The property was great. A slight musty odor that went away after running the A/C for a while. Possibly a dehumidifier would help. Great location, very comfortable unit with easy access to a private beach. Would highly recommend."

"Great! Except for downstairs neighbor. - Awesome beach and fantastic condo! Only issue is parking. Our spot was taken the night of check in and we had no other choice but park in someone else’s spot. Well, the downstairs neighbor was notified and she knocks on our door at 9AM telling us we not only ruined her night but also the night of the people whose spot we parked in”. Needless to say, it ruined our morning simply by the way we were greeted by a local and talked down to like we had just committed the worst crime ever. We would’ve rather had been notified by the property manager of this condo immediately that night and would’ve gladly moved our car if it was that big of an issue. The neighbor did come back and apologize because she heard someone was actually parked our spot, like we told her from the beginning. Other than that, we will be coming back. But we hope there will be parking decals for cars to have inside their dashboard that way people can know for certain that is their spot and have proof of it. Thank you for a wonderful stay!"

"Perfect location - We had an awesome time at this lovely condo. It’s in the perfect location—-steps to the beach, 30a bike path, Blue Mountain Bakery, Blue Mountain Creamery, and several other great restaurants. The bed is super comfy, and the property is beautifully furnished.
The only frustration was check-in. We got the code to access the property but no information on which unit it is. This led to some awkwardness of parking in someone else’s parking spot and walking around the top floor trying to identify our condo by comparing the balcony views with the ones from the VRBO listing. We also didn’t get the code to the electronic beach gate until the day after check-in via an automated email asking how our stay was going. Luckily one of the other condo occupants shared the code with us so we could go to the beach the first day we got there. It would be helpful to include the condo number and beach code in the initial check-in email to make it an easier experience for the next guests. Other than these initial hiccups, we loved staying here and would definitely book again."

"Driftwood Cottage is beautifully decorated, beachy, comfortable, and super clean! The condo had everything we could need - loved having laundry and a little balcony space. Located in a quieter part of the beach town, we really enjoyed having direct access right out to the private beach—it was clean and quiet, with plenty of open space! We’ll definitely be back again!! Thanks for such a lovely stay!"

"Perfect couples retreat - Our stay at this property was a wonderful experience. The unit was fully stocked with everything needed from the kitchen to the new beach chairs and umbrella that were provided. All of the interior was spotless and nicely decorated as well as the small lounge chairs on the side porch that allow for you to sit and get a view of the ocean between the other homes on the beach. The location was fantastic. From the restaurants
(Blue Mable) nearby to the bike trails you can ride for mile upon miles, it was definitely a great choice to stay at Sunseekers. I highly recommend this rental for your next couples retreat."

"This unit is truly beautiful and helps make your stay more relaxing! While this condo is not direct ocean view, it’s only a few steps to make it down to the less populated beach (ideal). If you’re coming for a special occasion, we highly recommend dining at Surfing Deer!"

"Beautiful beach home with private beach access - The home was decorated beautifully and had everything we needed. Luckily there were two chairs and a beach umbrella in the closet because the beach set ups were sold out already for the week. I would recommend adding the number to the listing and calling when you book your stay if you want beach set up (umbrellas and chairs). We were there the week after July 4th so it was a busy week with vacationers, but the area around was all private beach access so the beach front was not crowded at all compared to a 1/2 mile down. You have a full kitchen and plenty of food options in the area."
Stayed June 2020

"Sunseeker #9 - I stayed here with my husband and two small children, and we had an amazing time at this property. The decorating is on-point and feels comfortable while still being stylish, the kitchen is small, but very well appointed, and has everything you would need to cook a meal. There was an issue with the WiFi that was never fully resolved, but communication was amazing, and with us being there over the 4th, I can understand why it may have been hard to fix. The bed was comfortable, but sun came in fierce around 5 AM every day through the sheer curtains on the door. The proximity to the beach was perfect. There is a code on the access door, but for the most part it stayed open. Check in was seamless, and I cannot stress how attentive the management at RealJoy Vacation was during our stay. The space was very clean, and we would definitely love to come back to Sunseeker #9! We were within short walking distance to 30A and the creamery, and a short driving distance (3 miles) to other places. Overall, this was a great experience, and I highly recommend this unit."
