"Great place to stay close to the beach. Nicely decorated, comfortable, and within walking distance to the beach and restaurants.
There is no private access to the beach thought, you have to walk a little further to the public beach access.
Overall we had a great time there."

"We had a great stay at Penelope Palms! It was in a great location and walkable to the beach and restaurants. We were traveling with 2 families and it is a nice set up for privacy and plenty of room! We did have an issue with the garage door, but someone came and checked it out right away. The beach chairs were a little worn, but it was still nice to have them. The golf cart was well worth the up charge. We got great use out of the brand new grill. It was so nice to have the patio and a fenced yard. Overall clean and a great value."

"We really enjoyed our stay in Destin at this house. Everyone slept comfortably and we loved how clean and nicely decorated it was. It was really close to the public beach access so we didn’t have to drive or walk far. Highly recommend booking with RealJoy they were very responsive when had any questions via text. Thank you RealJoy for making this trip so easy and not stressful. "

"Couple days prior to arriving Real Joy reached out giving us a heads up the golf cart would be ready.
We arrived and there was no golf cart ready, spent 2hrs on the phone back and forth trying to figure out why golf cart was not present. Only to receive an email a little later stating there was no golf cart available. Then we spent another hr looking for a 3rd party golf cart. Which ended up being 3x more the price than we expected to pay in the first place."

"Great Stay - Very nice property. Quiet neighborhood. Stayed here with adults and children. Loved the backyard for the kids. Easy access to public beach. Would recommend the private beach access- public can get crowded. Easy to shopping- restaurants. Only issue was dryer- poor drying and would not shut off. Golf cart was a plus except issue with lights at night. Let the property manager know about the issues I’m sure they will address them. I would recommend this property to all and will look forward to booking again."

"Penelope Palms - nice place - Overall, we enjoyed our stay. House was clean and in nice shape. It was about the right amount of space for 10 (4 adults, 5 teens, and one 5yr old)...located on a cul-de-sac that was pretty quiet.
Hollywood Drive beach entrance is a 10-15 ish min walk...golf cart was great for hauling the gear and younger kid...we mainly hung out at the beach near the Hollywood Drive private entrance...closest parking for the cart after dropping everyone off is near Pompano Joe's, which is a 10 min walk via the beach. Parking in the public lot can be a bit of a cluster...people please know you can fit two golf carts in one parking spot!
Washer and Dryer seemed to maybe need a tune up? Freezer leaked a bit (defrost drain is plugged?).
RealJoy property managers were very quick to respond to any questions we had."

Stayed June 2022
"We recently stayed at Penelope Palms for baseball tournaments with two other families. The house was the perfect size for us all to have our own space yet enjoy a home life versus hotel life. With it being at the end of the Cul de sac, the kids were able to enjoy playing outside in the yard and neighborhood without worrying about cars. The beach was a good walking distance or golf cart ride away. We were able to enjoy the vacation scene and be 15min away from the ball field. The house had everything we needed and the owners were quick to reply if we had any questions. Highly recommend staying here if you’re in the area."

"Great house with a great location - This property was a great place to make memories with my family. The house was in great shape. We had a problem with the gas grill, we called and they brought out a brand new one the next morning! They were prompt on any questions or concerns. The beach was beautiful for all ages. The neighborhood was quite which made sitting in the back yard relaxing great. I will definitely use this property again."

Highway 98 is right behind it so you can go shopping at all the outlets and malls and food places. There is a ton of extra curricular stuff all around, boat rentals at Crab Island, Arcades, Racetracks and anything you can think of it's available in this area.

Very clean and well kept. The washing machine was nice and big! The only recommendation we had was that we wished there was a vacuum to help keep the floors clean. There was no dust pan either. We swept the floors every day....but it would have been much easier if we had access to a vacuum cleaner. Otherwise, the house had everything we needed. Would highly recommend and we would definitely stay again."

"Gorgeous & Comforting Stay! - Our stay at Penelope was amazing. We enjoyed it so much it literally felt like our home away from home. Management made it so easy from the moment of booking, until the very last minute of our stay. They made sure to provide all information needed to access the home with no trouble, the best part was that they were super responsive when a question was asked.
The actual property was, magnificent. It was so beautiful, we were memorized when we first opened the door. It was eight of us ladies, and we had a blast when glam hour came around. We had plenty of bathroom space. Another was that no one had to fight for a bed,and after a nine hour drive from Houston we were WINNING so that was a big plus!
The kitchen MUST be used!! We had breakfast twice, as well as dinner. It would've been wrong if we didn't utilize that beautiful space. BIG PLUS... It perfectly equipped! The only bump was we didn't find a wine opener.. lol (no big deal)
Neighborhood felt safe, and the beach was extremely close! I would definitely recommend to stay at Penelope Palms.
Thank you for making our "Girls Trip" worth the drive!"

"Paradise at Penelope Palms! - My husband and I took our 2 boys, their wives, and our 3 grandchildren to Penelope Palms at Miramar Beach, Florida for a full 7 days. It was fantastic. The house was everything the websites pictured it to be. And the beach was a short walk away. So much room and yet felt like home. We will definitely visit this rental again soon!!!"

"Beautiful house and great location - This is a beautiful house with all the amenities you would have in your own home. You will be as impressed as we were. Fully stocked and very comfortable. The location is only a few minutes walk from the beach.
The pool was cold though when we tried to use it. It was not at the 84 degrees that they said t would. The facilities are nice but they started the sprinkle system while we were there and the smell was so bad we had to leave! It seems they use sewage water.
It would also be nice if RealJoy answers their phones a little bit quicker. I was on hold for more than half an hour when I called to get the code to the golf cart which was not part of the codes we received at check in even though it was included in our reservation. We eventually got the keys and where able to use the golf cart for the last two days of our stay."

"Gorgeous house with thoughtful amenities - We had a group of 10, and everyone had their own bed/couch! Everything is well thought out here and we instantly felt at home. We cooked in the kitchen, used the golf cart and lawn games and otherwise made full use of the space. I wish we could have stayed longer. Everyone was very impressed, and we got a much higher value than if we had booked individual hotel rooms."

"Penelope Palms was so beautiful!!! We loved every moment of our vacation. - Although construction was still going on I have no doubt that when completed Penelopy Palms will simply stunning.

"The stay was exceptional! Upon arrival to this beautiful home, (just as pictured) we had a welcome by a very courteous service man who explained a great part of the house to us. The house was clean and very comfortable (home away from home). We enjoyed the entire trip, from check in to check out. The house was in a great location, we had access to the beach ( we had to walk a little way), the pool, restaurants, and close to shopping. The children were able to go to nearby activities. The host was easy to get to and help if needed. This would be a place that we would stay again. "

"Classy Beach Home - What a fabulous home! The decor was so classy, I got some ideas for my own home! The space and functionality of the home for our family, was spot on! Our kids so enjoyed the bunk room! We loved cooking meals in the beautiful kitchen and enjoyed big family dinners together at the table. We also loved having the golf cart to discover some of our new favorite seafood spots (Pompano Joe's and Crab Trap to name a few), or head down to the beach and relax! The neighborhood pool was also relaxing for the adults and fun for the kids. I will definitely be recommending this to my family and friends for future beach vacations. Can't wait to get back here!"

"Beautiful home, Great vacation! - This was a trip with our children and two grandchildren. We enjoyed our stay very much, and highly recommend the home. We have rented in FL several times, but this is by far our favorite - great customer service, and the home was well stocked with everything we needed. We loved the beautiful decor, great bedroom and bathroom space, and plenty of parking for us. The location to beach and shopping is super convenient, and we had a lot of fun taking the golf cart to the beach and out for our ice cream trips at night. Pompano Joe's has great beach access and the beach bar and dinner there was awesome! We also enjoyed hanging out at the neighborhood pool. We will definitely stay at this home again!"

"Everything a rental property should be, and then some! - Such a beautiful property and a perfect area to spend my family vacation at. The home was incredibly spacious, beautifully decorated and furnished and full of all the amenities one could possibly want. So close to the beach and so many restaurants. We never ran out of things to do. In fact, we can't wait to go back again to see even more of what the area has to offer.
It truly felt like a home away from home. Can't wait to go back! Thanks for the amazing family memories. It was a vacation we'll never forget."
