"View was awesome. Convenient location to store, restaurants and mall. Beach was easily assessable. Condo very nice and clean!
Pillows were very small and the extra ones in closet did not have linen on them. Bri
TV could have been better. We reached out the first night we were there bc TV in liv rm didn’t work for channel changes. No remote for actual TV brand jut one for cable. We Finally figured it out. However RealJoy was suooose to send someone and they never did. I reached backed out in the morning and they said it was not documented to come. Thank goodness we figured it out so we could at least get cable. Last guest changed the HDMI to hook up with device to watch streaming services. I asked about this before we traveled if smart tv to stream out acct. was told it was. However wasn’t told it’s kicked out so you can’t log into your service accts. So I did not bring devices to hook into with a HDMI cord. First place I’ve stayed at in a condo/house you couldn’t log on to stream."

Everything we needed was available, such as a washer and dryer. The beach was less than a 5 minute walk which was extremely convenient. There are plenty of stores and restaurants to visit. We enjoyed our stay! Thank you!"

"We enjoyed our stay at the Ariel Dunes tower at Miramar Beach. The view from our balcony was incredible, was great to be walking distance to the beach and the place felt like home. There was one day though where there was a really bad smell in our unit, we contacted RealJoy, told them about the smell, and within 30 minutes, they had their own maintenance guy show up and he was able to resolve the issue within the day while we were at the beach. Staying with RealJoy was a solid experience for us and I would do it again!"
