"Review - Loved it"
Stayed June 2023
"Overall the house is great for a large family or multiple families coming together. It’s 1 block away from the community pool which was great for kids. There was lots of seating and space. The beach is about a 10 minute walk. Definitely need a wagon to carry any beach gear but doable even with littles. The location is a short drive to all the major restaurants and retails. Loved that the community is gated and overall peaceful."

"We stayed here a week and loved every minute of it.
They forgot to send the code to the door but I called and they solved it very quickly.
This place is in the middle of Destin and close to everything.
The only downside is almost every beach near here is private.
We still made it work and had a great stay.
Would recommend to anyone.
Also would recommend getting a pontoon and going to crab island.
We have 4 kids and they had just as much fun as all of the adults.
Thanks again."

Stayed August 2020
"Very spacious and well designed floorplan. Great for large groups! - We had 15 in our party, 7 adults and 8 kids, and it was a good fit, some kids slept on the couch in the 3rd story living room, but, that was perfectly fine.
The house was well equipped, and we had a great time. the only things that i would recommend you bring is some trash bags, toilet paper, and soap (dishwasher/handsoap) beyond that it was well stocked (although no condiments/spices etc) which was to be expected.
I have to say the 2nd story master bed matress was rather uncomfortable, its due for a replacement. but other then that. great house at a reasonable price."

We had a snafu regarding the AC Unit and the team was amazing scheduling a maintenance person repair it prior to them closing. She called me every half hour to make sure we were okay and reassure the arrival of the tech. I am sold on their service and will always rent via of Real Joy. The home was also great and the location was amazing."

"GREAT VACATION HOME & EXCELLENT LOCATION - This home was perfect for our large group and first family trip. The location was perfect walking distance to the beach and the amenities were on point to all of us. A three-story home gave me anxiety at the beginning but, it grew on me. I just wish the parking space was a tab more wider to be able to fit 3 vehicles. Other than that, this house was great to us and made our first Destin experience a memorable one. Will definitely be returning SOON!"
