Stayed July 2023
"Wonderful - The condo was very nice. We couldn’t get the ceiling fan in the living room to work, but that wasn’t important. The location of the property was excellent. The view from the balcony was priceless. It was peaceful. We saw the most spectacular fire works display on the 4th of July. Everything went well. I’d stay here again."

"Just perfect. - Great location. Easy check in and out. Nice pools. Comfy king size bed. My 6 year old loved the bunk beds, too. Beautiful waterfront view. Kitchen was furnished with everything we needed. The only thing I regret is not booking an extra day! Thank you"

"Paradise Location! - We were so impressed with everything about our stay! Real Joy is so organized with reminders of check in and check out and you can easily get through to someone if you need assistance! The condo was gorgeous. The view on the 20th floor over the ocean was spectacular! We could see dolphins, stingrays, and occasional shark daily! We loved the easy access to the beach and all the staff at the resort were so friendly. Very clean and appreciated the on-site security. 5-star experience all around!"

"Got engaged on the balcony. Coming back for our wedding! - We had a great time, so much so we got engaged on the balcony and are coming back for our wedding! Tiki bar was fabulous and friendly staff. Only complaint was our balcony latch didn’t work but it was quickly resolved by maintenance the next morning. Sadly we missed enjoying our first sunset when we arrived so hoping it’s working better now!"
Stayed August 2022
"Beautiful condo! - We had a great experience at this resort. We loved the remodeled room and how clean it was there. When we had an issue with the balcony door locks, maintenance came and fixed the door and checked the faucets for us. I loved that they also had a lock for the front door because we have a toddler who can open doors so we felt comfortable having her sleep in the bunk bed at night in the hallway. Thank for you for an awesome experience!"

"Wonderful family vacation - We loved our stay here! Everything was clean and well stocked with toiletries, towels, utensils, etc. Our favorite part was breakfast on the patio & seeing the dolphins swim by in the morning! Day 2 we had an issue opening our patio door and our toaster was not working. I texted RealJoy customer service and they sent out a brand new toaster and someone to fix the door within 2 hours of my text. I was very impressed by that! Pelican Beach resort has 3 great pools and a hot tub. The private beach is wonderful and the condo has beach toys + chairs with an umbrella which was great! We ended up reserving chairs through the private agency on the beach our entire stay so we could be up front and close to the water - it is an extra cost, but I highly recommend doing that otherwise you have to set up your own chairs behind the rental chairs. We loved having the beach stuff set up for us right away in the morning anyways and not having to worry about setting up and taking down while we were on vacay. We did not drive or rent a car and we had good luck getting around with Uber’s or a taxi. We will definitely be booking through RealJoys again! Thank you for a wonderful stay."

Perfect location in Destin with unreal views of the beach and water. Property was clean and well kept. All appliances and utilities worked fine. My girl and I have already started to plan another trip next year! We would highly recommend this property to anyone!"

"First time visiting Destin - We were pleased with the property and location. It was just as described in Vrbo. There seemed to still be sand in the beds but you can expect that being on the beach as the sand follows you everywhere and it’s hard to escape it."
Stayed March 2021
"Relaxing - Enjoyed our stay. Very spectacular views. Disappointed that the third pool and second hot tub were closed. Apparently they’ve been out of order for months. However, we enjoyed our stay and were able to keep distance in the other 2 pools."

Stayed November 2020
"The condo is updated and in great condition. The location and view is breathtaking, probably the best given it’s on the top floor. Amazing sunset view and we were able to see dolphins and stingrays in the morning. Would definitely come back and recommend this place."
Stayed October 2020
"If you’re looking for a beach front condo this is a great pick for a relative price! It was nice to be right on the beach and have access to pools, hot tub, along with other amenities. You can tell the place has been well loved and used, but overall it was very clean and suited our group well. If you plan to cook you will need to buy the basic necessities, however it didn’t add too much expense. We either walked or were able to Uber/Lyft just about anywhere we needed to as the location is great! Would definitely book again!"

"Great location and view - This property was clean, updated and comfortable. Although we failed to receive the check in information before our arrival, the rental agency was easy to reach and provided the necessary code.
Things I wish I had known ahead of time...BYOEverything. Such as books, games, kleenexes, trash bags, coffee filters (basket style), even salt and pepper! Only one hair dryer for the two bathrooms. Also, bring binoculars to watch the dolphins. We loved the view from the top floor."
Stayed February 2020
"Fabulous - We loved the condo. It was very clean and roomy. Everyone in the resort was friendly. Our view of the beach was great. There were four of us. Two adults and two 12 year olds. They had so much fun. The pool was heated and there was a hot tub. My husband enjoyed golf at to nearby courses. We will visit again!"

"Fam of 4 quick get away - This property was absolutely perfect for our small family of 4 for our quick fall break getaway. It was extremely comfortable and well laid out. We enjoyed the added resort amenities of the tiki bar and cafe. If you’re in the market for a quick getaway, we highly recommend this place. Destin is a beautiful place and the high floor gave great views of the ocean. We give this a 5-star rating across the board!!!"

Stayed September 2019
"Excellent accommodations - This is a great location. Easy access to the beach. The unit is very nice. It sleeps up to 6, but 6 in the living area would be a tight fit. It is perfect for 2 or a family of 4. The a/c went out during our stay. The property management company was easy to reach and it was fixed quickly. I wish I had booked sooner and had 1 or 2 more days at the beach."

"The view was amazing!! If planning to cook expect to purchase EVERYTHING from salt and pepper to normal cooking utensils. The place was very clean and comfortable. Staff at the Pelican were wonderful and communication with RealJoy was easy and they had a quick response to any questions."
Stayed May 2019
"Our stay was great! I couldn’t have asked for more from our host! Everything was taken care of super fast and we checked in and out so easily. The place was very accommodating and we LOVED the showers!!!!!!!!! The only thing that was a surprise to us (which in no way reflected our host) was the private beach area. The resort was very strict on where you could set up your chairs and umbrellas. That wasn’t very accommodating and a little aggravating but this in no way reflects on the unit we stayed in! I can’t say enough good things about that! Loved our trip!"
