The condo was beautiful. Gorgeous views from the living room windows and balcony.
My family had a great time even though it rained the whole time we were here. The condo was nice and clean and spacious enough for us to lay around and relax while we hid from the rain. Unfortunately we didn’t get to go on the beach bc of the rain, but we did get to see the huge waves from our condo window and balcony.

We had a wonderful stay! It was our first time at Gulfview, we usually stay at a condo unit up the street. This is now our favorite spot. The location is great, with beach access only steps away. Great coffee shops and eateries all over within minutes.
The condo is spacious and well kept. There was enough room for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 young boys.) Linens and towels were fresh, and everything was clean and ready upon our arrival. Checking in and out was a breeze. Highly recommend!

Unit was wonderful.
Property was well maintained. Decor was very up to date and beach like. Our children enjoyed the hidden bunk beds. Laundry was $1.75 per load for washer and dryer. Great unit location in relation to the beach. Literally a short walk across the street. Corner unit that still offered views of the beach. There’s a building obstructing full view. Would stay here again!

A Great Weekend at a Great location
The property was in a perfect spot just a very short walk from the beach. Parking was a little hassle but not to bad. The condo was very nice and clean with plenty of space for the kids to play and watch TV. We were over looking the pool and could see a little of the beach as well. The kitchen was a little small but had everything you needed to prepare meals and store food. The porch in front was nice to sit and relax. Naturally not having an elevator and having to walk up two flights of stairs to the third floor took time but it was manageable. Overall it was an excellent stay.

Our teams work hard to keep the units clean and comfortable for our guests. Thank you again for your feedback and thank you for staying with Real Joy!
This condo was amazing! We were concerned it may be too small before we arrived but were pleasantly surprised when we did. The condo was very spacious and extremely clean! We loved the decor and the area it was in. It was just steps from a private beach and close to many restaurants and stores. The pool area was clean and close to our condo as the laundry area was also. I loved that this condo was on the end as it had 2 balconies and also had a gate to gain access to it. The bed was comfortable and we had some of the best nights sleep we've had in awhile. The bunks were wide enough that actually 2 people could sleep in 1 bunk if need be. We come to the Destin area regularly and would gladly stay in this condo again!

Hey Tim, thank you for your feedback! We're so happy you enjoyed this beautiful condo and the close beach access. Thanks again for you review and for staying with RealJoy Vacations!
The condo was a nice surprise. It was a corner unit overlooking the pool. Everything was clean & well kept. The kitchen was nicely stocked. It was a very short, easy walk to the beach. The only issues we ran into was there wasn’t enough sheets, blankets, & pillow cases for the fold out couch. The 1 extra sheet & pillow case I found (in a clothes basket) was very dirty & stained. Also, The thermostat wouldn’t stay set on 70. Often times we would return to the room & it wld be back to 74/76, which is WAY to hot for the beach!

Expected more. Not horrible, but could of been better too!
Our family never gets to go on a vacation so we were all super excited that a family member was getting married in Destin. There were so many condo options and thought the pics and reviews sounded perfect on this one. The location was awesome...just a short walk across the street and there was the beach. The complex had multiple pools that didn't get too crowded at a time and washer/dryer were available as well. The cons: toaster didn't work (called maintenance & they did bring a new one), screen to back patio sliding door was unattached so bugs came in at night if we wanted to have that open for fresh air (did also mentioned this during my call, but never got fixed), netflix was supposed to be available. They sent someone out, but he said we had a box that wasn't wireless & wouldn't be able to have it. He suggested we call & he said "they would make it right," but that issue was never resolved, cleanliness was lacking too... my husband found a plastic tampon applicator under the bed, dry boogers on the wall in the bedroom (not kidding), a pair of blinds in the living room did not open & close like they were supposed to (not a huge deal, but annoying). We did enjoy our trip and plan on going back to Destin again! But will not book here again :(

Hi Larissa, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review of your stay. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the location of this unit and the easy beach access along with the multiple pools on site as well. We also hope you enjoyed the recent updates to the unit. We would like to apologize for the inconveniences you experienced here. We did some checking and found where they sent out a new toaster and tried to fix the Netflix but found it couldn’t connect to the internet. We couldn’t find where you had contacted us regarding the other issues giving us a chance to correct them during your stay. The unit was cleaned completely for future guests. Again, thank you for your feedback.
We spent Spring Break here.
Pros: The unit is absolutely beautiful. It's an impressive space and was very clean. The view out the back is incredible and the location is excellent. The beds are very comfortable and the showers have great water pressure. The property managers are responsive. The beautiful beach is steps away.
Cons: You're on the second of 4 floors and will hear noise from upstairs. We unfortunately had a very sick kid on vacation and the noise at night (despite 2 loud noise machines) was very frustrating after 10 pm. The pool is not heated and was absolutely freezing. All of the rooms could use additional blankets. We were very cold at night despite adjusting the thermostat. We actually ended up buying more blankets. Parking is strictly limited so be sure you will only need to park two cars. The place is locked up like Fort Knox, which could be viewed as both a pro and a con, but to go do anything you're entering a code at the gate, a code at the front door, a code at the elevator and a code to your unit. And no they aren't all the same code. All of us found that to be really annoying- especially if your hands are full. Sending and receiving calls and at times texts was an issue for most of us- you will have to go outside for calls.
I'm trying to leave a really honest review but I do want to be clear that this is a really lovely place.
I have been to Destin numerous times and have stayed in many different houses and condos, but this was one of my favorites. The location is perfect- right across the road from the beach and you can even see the ocean from the condo. It was within walking distance to some of our favorite restaurants. The two pools on the property were very handy and never too crowded when we were there. We also enjoyed sitting out on the balcony. Overall, this condo was perfect for my wife and me. We hope to stay here again in the future.
Our stay was very nice. We went on vacation to Destin with family including one 8 years and one 3 years old kid. It is very near to beach, just have to cross a road and there is private gate to the beach. Check-in/ check-out process was a breeze and for anything required, the team was readily available through text and were very responsive.
There were chairs and umbrella available to take it to the beach. It’s on 3rd floor and there is no elevator, and they have mentioned this in description. kitchen was fully equipped with all utensils, blender available. Condo is of decent size with one double bed, bunk beds and one sofa bed.
Overall it was very nice stay and would recommend to everyone except person unable to climb stairs.
We only had a few days off for spring break and this was the perfect little getaway! Nice, clean, tasteful and a cute little balcony. Loved the hot tub and closeness of the beach. Would definitely recommend.
Perfect for a place to spend time between beaching, eating, and shopping. My only fear was the "quiet time" but no one ever said anything so I think we weren't as loud as we thought! Thanks so much for a great place to stay!

Was just as expected. Small but very nice Condo....Ocean view, so very close to the beach. Short walk to Kenny D's, Pompano's or Capt Dave's....so you can drink and not drive. Perfect little spot.
