"Thanksgiving in Florida! - Overall our stay in the condo was very satisfying. RealJoy called to ensure that we were happy with our stay, so I took the opportunity to ask for more dishwasher tablets, kitchen towels, and trash can liners. Our stay was scheduled for 6 days/5nights, with 2 dishwasher tablets, 3 trash bags and 1 kitchen towel provided. When I requested more, the RealJoy rep. reminded me that "starters" are provided with an expectation that we would purchase our own supplies. Despite this policy RealJoy promptly delivered enough tablets and liners to last through our stay. We enjoyed the close proximity to the beach and shopping. I would definitely recommend this property!"
