"Excellent location! Beautiful home great for families and felt right at home. Close walkable local restaurants, beaches and ice cream shops. Quiter version of Seaside and Watercolors beach towns but close enough that we frequented Pickles and the Perfect Pig during our stay."

"We loved everything about this house! Very spacious and loved that all the bedrooms have a private bathroom. The house was clean and decorated beachy and cute! We would definitely come back! My only complaint would be to provide beach accessories like a cooler, beach towels, chairs, etc. Every other beach house that we’ve stayed at provided that. Luckily we drove down and knew that we had to bring those items but if someone is flying and can’t take those things, it becomes very expensive to buy all of that for just a vacation. Otherwise, we have zero complaints about this house and will definitely be back!"

"Of all of our stays on 30A, this home was by far our favorite! The layout was perfect for our family of 5, with all the bedrooms being upstairs and a spacious living room with super cozy couches, a reading/game nook with lots of games and puzzles, and a large, dreamy kitchen on the ground floor. The beds are very firm and the pillows pretty flat, but over all very comfortable. The neighborhood is beautiful and the pool area is fantastic! There is currently a lot of construction going on right next door, so we didn’t get to enjoy the AMAZING front porches or back patio - but we will look forward to it on our next stay here! This is our home away from home!"

Customer Relations Representative
Hannah, We're delighted to hear that this home on 30A became your favorite among your stays! It's wonderful that the layout and amenities suited your family so well.

"It was a wonderful stay and would most definitely recommend. There is a couple of things that need to be addressed though. The gas is empty in the grill. Had to use the community grill. It is very dark at night and our steps are brown. My friend fell down the front steps at the bottom (no alcohol was involved, and front porch light was on). There needs to be more adequate lighting outside when it’s dark. I left a message on the other page about the leak in the house and have spoke to 2 people about it. To my knowledge nothing was done. Water from the tub upstairs leaked all the way through the ceiling."

"Great house and location - Pistachio By The Sea, we loved this house and location! The neighborhood is great, and the pool is super nice. The nearby beach access was really busy, but there were multiple access locations, so we could choose the one that was the best each day. We will definitely be staying here again…"

"Beautiful beach home - We really enjoyed our stay! The house is spacious, tons of room for our family of 5. Our teens loved the bikes. Easy bike ride or golf cart ride to the beach and many restaurants! We loved the cowgirl kitchen and shunkgulleys. Each a short golf cart ride away. Will definitely stay here again."

"My family really enjoyed our stay! Awesome location and beautiful house. Well decorated and maintained. We had great communications from the time we booked all the way through checkout. Overall we had a great stay and would be back!!
One caveat, and hopefully it was just us, but the house had a funky smell to it. We got used to it and wasn’t really a large issue overall, but would recommend an air freshener next time. Otherwise, no issues at all!!"

"Perfect location easy access right off of 30A. The neighborhood is quiet and well kept. The pistachio is very clean and perfectly maintained. The home is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. There are four bicycles that are great to ride around the neighborhood or head down the trail to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We look forward to seeing you again soon."

"This was probably the most beautiful and luxurious places we’ve ever rented and we come to 30A alot ! The location was perfect. We rode our bikes to the store and restaurants. The pool was amazing and the maintenance crew were always there cleaning and were very accommodating. The house is stunning and so clean. Beds were comfortable and we loved the jetted tub in the master. We would absolutely stay here again and can’t wait to go back!"

"Aside from the broken glass on the kitchen floor that was over looked by the cleaning service we were very pleased with the home. RealJoy responded promptly and resolved the issues. Great quality home, perfect location. We rented our own golf cart which was great to go to the beach. Pool area was nice too"

"Wonderful location, beautiful home!! Perfect spot to stay and gulf cart around the area, to the beach, restaurants and shops. We loved the how beautifully decorated the house was and how spaciously it accommodated our group. The kitchen space was very large and made cooking meals in easy. The neighborhood pool was pretty but it definitely wasn’t heated, the water was even too cold for the kids to swim. We would stay there again."

Stayed March 2022
"Great Location for family over spring break. March 2022 - This is a spacious house. We were impressed with how much room there was. The most impressive aspect was the location. We have stayed in this area often and like the quieter sections of the strip. This house is located really nicely in an area that is close to everything we love and at the same time not on a crazy part of 30A. It made going to the beach, out to eat, or on a bike ride easy. Traffic around the home was minimal. The location does suit for bikes, golf cart, or car.
There are a few things close enough to walk, but we mainly used the bikes or a rented golf cart. This unit has a larger driveway, which is also nice for multiple cars, bikes, or if you rent a golf cart.
The #1 draw for us choosing this unit was that it has more bathrooms and each bathroom has a bath tub. Bathtubs are less common in this area. Most units have all showers or maybe one tub. If your family likes a bath, this unit is ideal. The only thing that surprised us was that the pool was not heated. The community pool seemed nicely designed and rather large, but we could not use it when we stayed as it was too cold. We spent our days at the beach. The ocean was also cold, but there was more to do. I would recommend this house for sure. It is a managed rental so the process was top notch."

Stayed November 2021
"Superb Location - Beautiful home with state of the art appliances (large and small). The neighborhood was very quiet and well maintained. We especially enjoyed the location with quick access to the beach and proximity of the access road to hwy98 for groceries, shopping and restaurants. 30A is great for walking, biking and beaching. Homes are exceptional and beautifully landscaped. The only downside of “the entire experience” is the congested two lane road (30A) itself."
