Relaxing family vacation

We were a family of 6, 4 kids ranging in age from 12-18. We wanted to just relax, spend time together, and enjoy the beach. Exactly what we were looking for !

Great location!

Property is in middle of a beautiful neighborhood! Our rental was very clean and we had a balcony which was great especially on Wednesday when there was a live DJ for three hours! It was so much fun! Beach was a 4 minute walk and access & security was great! We will definitely be back!

Great place & location

Loved the location. Close to restaurant, small walk to the beach, double pool. Our stay was great and would definitely come again. My only complaint would be the double beds I. The first room were a bit uncomfortable; one made a noise with every move, and the other felt like it was tilted sideways. Other than that everything was great ! And very beautiful the everything is exactly what you see in the listing.

Clean & Updated

The condo was very nice. The pools were a great size, the beach was in a distance though. No view of the water. But the pool was in view. If not seeing the gulf does not bother you, this was a very nice location and place. The double beds in the 2nd room were surprisingly larger than expected. Very comfortable stay.

Great stay

We had a wonderful stay at the Islander condo. The condo was well maintained. The only thing we wish the condo had was a washer and dryer in the condo or laundry service. There is a coin laundromat in the complex but we would have liked one in our own condo to wash the towels. You do have to wash the towels in the laundromat. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. The pools were great. There were lots of things to do around the property (shuffle board, pickle ball, basketball & tennis) and it was a short walk to the beach.

Would stay again but a 250 yd walk to beach

Our place had a property manager offsite- so this made it frustrating having to go to an office down Hwy 98 to get our room passes! Overall the managers were apologetic and nice. The site was beautiful and a GREAT LOCATION on Holiday Isle. This erased any disappointment about not being directly the beach. Room was a little musty smelling and had some water damage on ceiling with small pieces pealing off.

Fix bathroom door, otherwise great

Overall good property with the right kitchen tools and nice balcony and furnishings. The guest bathroom door would not close though and this was disappointing and embarrassing when you need to go to the bathroom. A repair had been done to the floor area, but surely they could have checked to see if the door actually closesand continue to fix until it does close.

Rest and Relaxation

I was blown away by my experience with RealJoy. I didn’t know what to expect with this being my first time vacationing to Destin. I couldn’t believe that a condo this nice was so affordable. My family enjoyed every minute of our vacation. The woman at the office set the tone for the entire trip. She was leaving for the day but she made sure my check-in process was smooth before she left. The rest was smooth. I would encourage everyone to read the text and emails sent from RealJoy. It helped. If we come back to Destin, I will be checking with RealJoy. I will be recommending them to others.

Not ideal.

The process was a pain! We had to go somewhere off site to get room cards after asking about it all day of check in. It took 20 min to get someone to even answer the phone. Then the cards did not work. Luckily the manager onsite was nice enough to rekey them. The place was not well kept up. For example the shower liner was covered in mold on the bottom.

Needs updates

Upon entering room, awful smell. Had to leave doors open during whole stay. Items marked "out of order." Door stop was broken, laying on floor. Microwave needs to be replaced. Took 15 minutes to warm up corn. Pans awful to cook in. Ran out of hot water after 2 showers. Lights above sink didn't work. We bought bulbs and they still didn't. Somwthing obviously was more wrong than a bulb. Coating on the ceiling was falling off. Was super hopeful that it would be a phenomenal place so we could return for spring break. Now we need to look elsewhere for a different rental.

Michelle, We are sorry that your vacation was not as you expected. In reviewing your reservation, we can see that there was some sort of communication error between us and the property manager. We are truly sorry. We will be sending an inspector out to investigate the issues you mentioned. We hope you were able to enjoy some time on our beautiful beaches and had a safe trip home.

Great Condo

The condo was located next to laundry and elevators. Very clean condo and building. We could not hear any of our neighbors. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and it was easy to get to the beach. We had to buy a few things for our stay (pot holders and cork screw) but a lot was accounted for. Restaurants and grocery stores very close by. Would stay here again!

Next visit, different choice

Okay stay. Kitchen well stocked with utensils. Expected different for the cost. The building trash chute area is disgusting. Stairways need paint and traction grip strips on steps. The unit smelled like a wet mildew basement. No clarity regarding towel swap service and use of facility beach chairs. We could have used more key cards for other adults.
Response from VrboOwner on 11 May 2021
Debra, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your overall okay vacation rental experience while staying in The Islander #211 on Holiday Isle in Destin. We are happy to know that you found the kitchen to be well stocked. Unfortunately, we have no control over the trash chute area or stairways at any resort property. We strive to answer any questions or resolve any issues that are brought to our attention in a timely manner. Renters must clean their own towels during their stay. Some owners may pay the fee for the set up of beach chairs and umbrella or provide beach chairs and an umbrella in the unit for guests to use as a perk. This would be the decision of the owner of the unit. We apologize for any inconvenience that you experienced. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.
