Throughout our stay, the property managers checked in to ensure we were comfortable, which made us feel truly cared for.

"The Jewel at Terra Cotta was such a beautiful home. The house smelled clean as soon as we opened the door. The backyard was nice. 10 pm quiet time is enforced. The walk to the beach was not bad at all. The beach was absolutely beautiful. The private beach area reserved for Terra Cotta residents was a little small but since our trip was in September, it was fine since it wasn't as crowded. The area felt safe. Everything worked. Everything was clean. Definitely recommend the Jewel at Terra Cotta. Each bunk is equipped with a personal fan, light, and outlet. Very convenient for a group of friends staying. The only thing the house was missing was a full-length mirror. A group of girls definitely need one of those 🙂 we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

"Jewel of Terra Cotta! - This estate is truly a Gem!
Upon arrival to the Jewel of Terra Cotta we were absolutely amazed how beautiful, clean, comfortable and modern appearance of this incredible home. It looks and feels brand new!
I personally love the layout of the house; very spacious open floor plan for our party of five adults. Huge beautiful 3bed/3bath all spaciously separated makes you feel like you are the only ones there. The backyard was my oasis, the pool is a real plus for this property. The luxury of taking a relaxing dip after a long fun day and evening bbq on a private deck.
The location to the beautiful beach is reasonably close and love the private access to the clean beach and turquoise water! They do offer other amenities on the Enclave grounds but we didn’t use them, our party was beach struck.
Vrbo & RealJoy were spot-on with their professional and courteous services; everything from checkin to checkout was smooth and seamless. Their communication and customer service was the key; we had two very minor issues onsite, I notified RealJoy and they promptly resolved the issues the very next day. They even sent me very useful information on what to do and see in Destin, a nice touch from the experienced locals.
Amazing vacation getaway! I would definitely stay here again.
Five Star rating from all of us!
Cheers,

Only thing, stock up of toilet paper and paper towels, and take your own beach towels for future guest.
Kitchen had everything we needed and we had a great thanksgiving week with my whole family there! Nice to have a late night swim when the beach was too cold but overall i would recommend this home to other friends and family. Beach walking distance and the amenities in the neighborhood were a plus!"

"RealJoy was easy to work with. Our house was clean when we arrived. The only negative thing I'd say is they do not give many essentials. We had 3 trash bags and 2 dishwasher tablets for 4 nights with 7 adults. We basically went through that the first couple of days. I wish they would stock enough toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher tablets, etc. to get you through the stay. Also, there was no salt and pepper at the house. Yes, we can go buy this stuff, but when you are paying over $5K, I believe these necessary items should be included and get you through the stay."

Pool was awesome.. definitely needed to have it heated since the weather was still chilly in March. Basic amenities could have been better given the length of our stay (toilet paper, dishwashing tablets and garbage bags). We had to purchase many things and leave them since we flew. Heads up- Shower towels were provided but none available for the beach. Another item we had to purchase and leave behind or throw away. We’d definitely stay here again!"

When the ocean water felt too rough we came back and let the kids swim in the pool. We plan to book again next year. There were two things that needed attention, but not major, the washing machine had some nasty scum in it, but we cleaned it. The downstairs room had a loud humming/vibrating noise that we could not figure out what it was.
We also rented a golf cart which was perfect to ride around in. My family loved the house and we did not want to leave."

Entire property was spotless on arrival. The rooms were huge, the furniture was comfortable and great quality. Kitchen was stocked excellently with enough stuff to cook for a small army. Beds were comfortable..pillows coulda been upgraded, but I’m a little snobby in that area lol. And lastly the pool was perfect.
Only thing I would’ve wished different, was that it be a little closer to the beach, or that it had a golf cart. We had young kids and adults with us, which required some kind of vehicle to bring everything to the beach. It was manageable, so It didn’t impact our stay. If I could afford to have this place for a week this summer, we’d absolutely be back then. Thank you!!"

The current at the beach is very rough so we could not get in the ocean.

"This is a great place to stay! It was just the way it looked in the pictures - very big and clean! The pool and the backyard were really good but unfortunately we weren’t able to get into the pool since it was really cold. It would’ve been better if the pool was heated. The management was great and helped us out throughout the check in and check out process. It’s close to the beach and in a good and safe neighborhood."

The home size and decor exceeded my expectation. The location is good but if you are using uber the address is difficult for drivers to find even when your location is pinned, not sure why this is. The kitchen is nice but could use more pans to cook in and the knobs were missing on stove. Pool area is great and I would just suggest having a covered trash can out there to aid in cleaning up.Easy walk to the beach and to a couple of restaurants.The bed in the main floor bedroom was really uncomfortable.

"Absolutely Amazing Home!!! - The house was beautiful! This house was the perfect getaway home. If you like the photos you will definitely be impressed when you see the real thing. The house was spotless. It was very clean and well maintained. The backyard and pool was beautiful. The gas grill and fire pit worked. If i have one complaint, but not really a complaint, the pool is not a heated pool. I would just suggest having a heating element for the pool for the cooler months. However the community pool was heated and it was only a 1 minute walk from the house. The beach was in very short walking distance.
We had 10 people in the home and never felt crowded. The in-wall bunk beds were a hit with the kids. I would definitely revisit this home again and recommend this home to other travelers."

"Beautiful beach home - We were very happy to see that this home was as beautiful in person as the pictures suggested. The homeowners took great care to build and decorate this beautiful beach home. We enjoyed the proximity to The Crab Trap, our beach choice while at Destin. There were also several other restaurants close by. Our children enjoyed the private pool in the backyard, as well as the adorable bunks in the bunk room. We had one small problem with the dryer during our stay, that the property manager took care of happily and swiftly. I would not hesitate to suggest this property to friends and family, and look forward to returning with our family in the future."

The house was beautiful!! It lives very large. The furniture was super comfortable. The open concept worked great for our family. The guest room upstairs has a very comfy king bed instead of the queen that was mentioned. The bunks were spacious & comfortable. Loved the pool!! It was clean & the backyard was spacious & private. There were only 2 lounge chairs though and the grill was small and took forever to cook steaks. Enjoyed the fire pit one night too. Short drive to a parking lot then cross road to the beach. Walk if you prefer. (Note: there are multiple steps down to the beach.) Great customer service from property management!! Highly recommend this property!!"
