"We recently stayed at the Crystal Cottage at Crystal Shores in Destin. It was an amazing place. Everything worked perfectly. The beds slept great and the pool was great to hang out in after being on the beach, which was a short walk away. The RealJoy team was super helpful from check in to check out and were very prompt in answering the few questions we had during our stay. I would definitely recommend staying there if you’re ever in the Destin area!"

"Real joy Vacation Rentals has and still is the # 1 Rental Company I have ever dealt with in my 77 years of life! In my opinion, Lisa Shock is the best leader at the one I specifically deal with because I always rent in Destin, Florida. She sets a great example for the rest of the staff and they learn well from her because their response time even when Lisa is not on duty is excellent! Christopher was on call when I had a few issues on Sunday of last week…sure enough on Monday he had their staff there and everything was fixed to perfection! Lisa and her entire team surpasses any other! Thanks to all of you for providing me and my family members with a memory making vacation at the Palms! Keep up your pleasing efforts… It makes such a difference when you are out of town and desperately need help or advice! You are the BEST! Margaret Ligons"

"We stayed at the Seascape Resort Miramar Beach. It's amazing. The resort is so clean. We stayed in Ariel Dunes I. Our condo was so nice. Very well decorated. Looks just like the pictures. View is amazing. Very clean. Bed sleeps great. Everything is functioning. We are so happy with our choice. We are already planning to come back next year. Only thing we weren't expecting was the construction that took half of the golf course but my husband found other courses to play. Not as convenient but still great. The ocean is just a short walk."

"We stayed at the Bungalows at Seagrove for our honeymoon & were very pleased. RealJoy was very responsive & made check-in a breeze. The property was exactly as advertised & we loved it. Would recommend to anyone looking for a cute place close to the beach that won’t break the bank."

"Stayed at Sterling Shores unit 502. It is very convenient to resturants, shopping the track and Big Kahunas water park. The kids loved the beach, as well as, both pools. The unit was clean, nicely appointed, and had a great view. The complimentary beach chair and umbrella service was a plus! We will definitely book this unit again!"

"If you get the chance to use Real Joy you will NOT be sorry. They are the most caring people I’ve ever worked with. It wasn’t just one person they all were awesome. Special shout out to James & Noel who went above the call of duty to make our stay as comfortable as possible. They checked on us several times over our stay. The WiFi/ internet connection went out during our stay and they kept us informed the whole time. When several hours had passed they brought us a Roku. I give them a 10 star!!!"

"This was an exceptional stay from start to finish. The house is not only beautiful but also perfectly located, just a 2-3 minutes driving from the beach, making it ideal for anyone looking to enjoy the sun and sea. The property is spacious with plenty of rooms, and each one has its own bathroom, which was a huge plus for our group. With the ample space, it comfortably accommodated our party of 20, allowing everyone to have their own privacy while still enjoying time together. The house is well-maintained and thoughtfully designed, providing everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a perfect beach getaway."

"We’ve been coming to PCB a couple of times a year for over 20 years and stayed in many condos and this one hits the top of the list. RealJoy is great with everything! SUPER CLEAN! Easy to communicate with. Great location too! Thanks for making our trip for my wife’s 50th birthday so special! Will be back this winter…"

"Stayed at the Aloha Cottage through RealJoy, and it was an awesome experience! Would rate it a 10/10. First time in Destin, Florida and booking through RealJoy was flawless. Plenty of room for our party of 9. And all 7 kids had their own bed. Was awesome. Would visit again."

"Excellent customer service. My fiancé and I had several questions after having to change rooms, and Samuel from guest relations was incredibly helpful. He went completely out of his way to make sure we were accommodated and that everything was as smooth as possible for us. We truly appreciate his help and can’t wait to stay here!"

"We haven't had our stay yet, but a situation leading up to it is the reason for my review. We're heading down to Destin for a family wedding in September. We heard through a couple family members that there is going to be construction going on, amenities closed, etc during our stay. We all were scrambling to find a new place. We spoke with Chris about all of our concerns. Lots of emotions. We were a bit panicked. Chris assured us he would be in touch with his manager & we would get it all figured out. Not too long after I received a phone call from Sam - who could not have been more pleasant & professional! We talked through the situation & we are all taken care of at a new place. Thank you so much, Chris & Sam, for helping us relocate. We're beyond excited for our stay & look forward to a fun filled visit! I know our Joy will be Real!"
