Hi! We are happy to know that you had a great stay at Grand Caribbean West 303. During this unprecedented time, it is nearly impossible to have an early check-in or late check-out because cleaning crews and inspectors need time to prepare units for incoming guests. Normally codes for doors, gates, pools, etc. are provided by email to renters before they arrive. We apologize for the inconvenience caused at check-in. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.
Stayed November 2020
"Perfect in every sense! - We loved the condo, and the location was great.

Some reviews commented about the palm trees obstructing the view, but the branches were cut way back when we were there, so they weren’t even really noticeable. Great view!!"

"Very close to the beach! Comfortable and well maintained with no problems during our stay. - We were close to all the main shopping and public beaches with private parking and on site private private pool. The Kitchen had plenty of dishes and pots and pans but did lack- simple items like salt and pepper. Would recommend bringing extra items from home like soap and extra dishwasher tabs. Having your own washer and dryer was great-- would recommend bringing laundry products for small loads. There is a BBQ grill outside but with the cost of buying briquettes for maybe a one time use could not justify buying a bag. Enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting Destin again."

We could even see the dolphins playing in the surf from the balcony. The balcony is awesome, double doors open up and give a nice ocean breeze and can hear the ocean. The place is very clean, bright and cheerful. My kids loved the bunk beds. The pool and hot tub is a great area to meet and visit with other families on vacation. We went during spring break and this is a very family friendly area for people with children, it was quiet at night with no loud parties going on. Nice safe area for those who enjoy walking or jogging. We plan on returning."
