"Good time - It was a good time place was great and very nice a clean. One small detail and it might be my fault for miss reading. I thought beach chairs and umbrella were including. Did not realize it was an extra 325 for the week if we wanted to rent them. It might have been a mistake on my part just might want to make that more clear in the description. Otherwise it was great and everyone was very nice."

"An amazing honeymoon! - We had an amazing time at this location for our honeymoon! The condo was clean, seemed newly renovated and was gorgeous! The view from the balcony could have been better but was accurately represented on line so not a surprise... the only downside was that the Jacuzzi tub (a big selling point for me!) Didn't work... I was especially disappointed that the response I received simply was that yep... it doesn't work and it won't be fixed during your stay... did it ruin my stay? No! But I would have liked a better explanation for the seeming lack of effort to fix a promised amenity..."
Stayed August 2022
"Great condo - Our condo was just as listed. I thought it would be more on the beach but we could see the ocean from our balcony. That was fine. The resort was great and felt very secure. The pool was huge and had various depth levels which was great for our 2 children. Overall great condo and would return in future if go back to Destin!"

"Moms Birthday Trip - Took my mom here for her birthday. It was her first time to Destin so the expectation was high. The condo was very nice, clean, A/C worked great, pool was nice and is an easy walk to the beach. The only thing is, the condo is in the airport landing/takeoff pattern so it could get a little noisy if you were sitting on the balcony. But nothing unbearable. We enjoyed ourselves and mom was super happy. I would stay here again."
Stayed May 2022
"Highly recommended condo - A beautiful and very clean condo that was convenient to everything we needed. Great gulf views. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great getaway! Wish we had better weather this week, but it was a good trip despite the rain. Our only suggestion would be to provide more detailed check-in information such as a map that shows where exactly to enter the resort (since google maps takes you to the side of the condo with no access and we were first time visitors to Destin), the guard gate, and instructions to the parking garage. Also mark which outdoor parking lots are useable. The map should also show the gates you can access with the fob to enter different areas, including using the large pool and beach access. It took us a while to figure out these things but, overall, it was great and we plan to return."

"Great condo except for the late check in if you are flying in. You have to wait until 4:00 to get into the room which is understandable but they should allow you to wait in the lobby area if you are flying in and have to take a private vehicle to the resort."

"No Hesitation - I was a bit hesitant to book this condo as this is an ocean-view condo, not ocean-front. However, after booking it and visiting here I can recommend it with no hesitation. It actually exceeded my expectations as the ocean is plenty visible! The layout worked out well and the showers were amazing!! It is updated and beautifully decorated and a comfortable home away from home."

"Beautiful condo - We come every year to Silver Shells and always enjoy our stay. This condo is beautiful and nicely decorated. The only issue we had was that it was dirty, like really dirty. Since we came during covid we brought supplies and planned to clean anyway so we were prepared but dirty floors, hair in pillow cases, ashes all over balcony, and hair in bathtubs. Ugh! Not the owners fault but whomever cleans isn’t cleaning, and we paid a cleaning fee!"

"Very Nice - This resort seems very secure and well kept. There is a guarded gate with someone there 24/7 and You have to have a key fob to enter the parking garage/ the buildings and the pool areas. The building this unit is in is quite a hike to the beach. It would be hard for anyone with any limitations walking longer distances. My mother has bad knee problems and only made it out to the beach one day because of the distance. The unit itself is very nice and comfortable and we really enjoyed staying there. The bathrooms were really nice and master king bed was super comfy. The only unexpected drawback was we found out you are not allowed to have your own umbrellas on the resorts beach front property. You have to rent theirs for $50 a day or walk even farther to set up your own. That was a huge inconvenience for us. Renting from Real Joy was a great experience. They were very attentive and timely with all communication and resolved an issue we had almost immediately. We would definitely consider staying in this property again but will allow for the extra cost of renting their umbrellas and chairs."
