"We loved our stay in this house! It looked like the pictures and the neighborhood was beautiful. The amenities of the neighborhood were wonderful and the other guests were considerate and friendly. RealJoy responded very quickly with any questions we had. Very easy walk to the beach and pools! Beware of the sprinkler in the lawn when hanging up wet clothes outside. A few things I wanted to mention about the house that’s not listed in the description:
- all TVs are Roku TVs (located in every room)
- beach toys and 2 beach chairs are at the house
- children’s booster seat, plates, and open cups are there
- lots of board games
We would stay in this house again!"

"After looking at the pictures online, we assumed the beach was right behind the home but it was still close enough for u - The distance to restaurants, shopping centers and of course the beach.
Nothing bad to say."

"This house was fantastic for my family of 5. It is a bit expensive, but it’s located near a lot of things. You will need a vehicle to drive to the places near by. I loved the master bathroom . I loved that the bedrooms was not close together . Everyone had privacy and space . My only complaint was the washer/dryer not working and cox cable and the Realjoy staff was in the house when we weren’t there. I didnt get a notification that the WiFi was out and they were coming."
