"Perfect beach and pool/hot tub access. Close to shops and food. - We loved that it's just across the road from the beach. Super close to food and shops. Took less than 5 minutes to get to the beach with codes for everything. The beach was private and no one was there. We stayed right before Labor day weekend. Perfect time to go for having the beach and pool to yourself. Everything was so clean inside the rental, no issues. Staff replied to text quickly for questions we had. Cleaning crews out by the pool kept everything cleaned daily. Safe and close to everything, we will definitely be back next year! "

"My stay was excellent. I arrived on Sunday and couldn’t access Wi-Fi. I called RealJoy expecting a recording but got a very helpful lady. I had searched to find router but couldn’t locate. She told me location of router and I was able to get WI-FI. Unusual for Sunday late. I was very appreciative of her response and friendly attitude. The condo was easy access with great view and parking. I highly recommend. "

It is always a good experience, this was no exception"
Stayed August 2023
"we really enjoyed our stay here! it was my husband, our 1 year old and myself. it was a perfect space for her to roam around. we could hear the people above us the first night but thankfully no more after that. one night my husband was chasing around our daughter, and a woman from the room below us knocked on our door because she said we were rattling their light fixtures. the location was great, we were able to walk to many good restaurants and shopping, the beach and 2 pools. we preferred the pool in front of the Caribbean because it was a little bigger and nicer. it wasn't really clear where we were supposed to go at the beach. there was a sign for gulf place guests to go in front of some villas but there was no sign that told us where those were so we just picked out a spot. we had what we needed for our stay and have no complaints! would stay here again"

"This property is clean and lovely with a comfy king-sized bed, full bath, and a cute cubby with two twin beds and an extra half-bath. The living room furniture was substantial; the kitchen had everything we needed. The beautiful white sand beach is just a short walk across the street. Chairs and umbrellas, bikes and more are available for rent. Just a small request - the large slider over the balcony needs some attention - it was very hard to open. Also, there were no hangers in the closets! There's a great selection of restaurants and shops adjacent to the property. We ate at Shelby's, Pizza by the Sea and Sunrise Coffee -- All were great! With bikes, umbrellas and chairs nearby for rent, this place has all you need! It's perfect for a couple with children, or a girls' trip. Grayton Beach is also lovely, and a short bike ride away We loved our stay!"
Stayed May 2023

"We had a nice stay. The place was clean and location was great. Beach access across the street. Steps away from a lovely local coffee shop. The only thing we had an issue was checking in. The process was a bit confusing and not what I am used to. I would suggest if you decide to stay here. Check the instructions before getting there. Took long to finally get access to the unit. They were very nice about offering a couple of different options for the inconvenience. Although we didn't take advantage of it due to the short length of stay, it was very much appreciated, Overall I would recommend."
