We loved our stay. The property has a great pool area! We loved the closeness to the beach and the shuttle convenience! I also appreciated the door locking mechanism as we have toddlers. We were able to lock a door if we didn’t want a child in that room, but easily unlock when we needed in the room. The condo was very clean. The location is also great!

This property worked out great for our family! The only thing that went wrong or was a little frustrating was when we came back with a car load of groceries therd were no carts left to haul our groceries up to the room.

Full apartment, well furnished. We loved the outdoor pools and amenities. Right on the main strip and a 5 minute drive to the beaches. The balcony is great, but in direct sunlight in the morning… too bright to stay out and enjoy! We had an amazing stay and will definitely be back.
Process relatively easy, couple minor issues with maintenance of unit. Would go back!

The
Campus was nice with convenient parking. It’s centrally located to restaurants and stores. It is not really within walking distance to the beach. Definitely need to drive or ride the shuttle. Kitchen was stocked. Only issue was bathrooms. The toilets were loud and shower leaked. Overall it was a good place to stay.

Kristi, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your rental experience. We are happy to know that you thought this centrally located two-bedroom, two-bath condo with a stocked kitchen was an overall good place to stay. Please accept our apology for the bathroom issues. We will pass along your comments to property managers so that they may make sure that these have been taken care of. Thank you for your patience and for choosing RealJoy.
Everything was great, only issue was the very loud noise the toilet in the second bedroom makes when flushed. I also think that even though it was stated prior to us booking that more supplies, such as, trash bags, toilet paper, and towels should be provided according to the amount of guests that are staying. Other than having to constantly wash towels, everything was great!!! Unit was clean, beds were comfortable, showers were always hot and water pressure was great!!! The pool area was the absolute best!! Would definitely recommend!!

Hi! We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your overall great stay in this two-bedroom, two-bath condo at the Palms of Destin Resort. We are happy to know that you thought this unit was clean with comfortable beds, great water pressure, and plenty of hot water. Please accept our apology for any inconvenience caused by the number of supplies offered. As mentioned in the rental agreement, housekeeping leaves a limited amount/starters of such products as toilet paper, trash bags, paper towels, and dish detergent. Guests must provide any additional items needed for/during their stay. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
The grounds were great. It was nice to be able to swim in the lagoon and grab a bite at the restaurant. Good location. Not on the beach but it didn’t take 5 min to get to the public beach.
The bad part was in unit one eight one four the bed needs a new mattress! One side is broke down and then they tried to put a topper on it! We were holding on all night! So when you don’t get sleep that puts a drag on your vacation! The only other thing was at check in and check out it was really hard to get a cart to help get luggage to and from the room. In saying that it was the first of July and was busy.

Everything was great except for the commode in the master bathroom had a squealing sound everytime it was flushed & the flusher would hang up. The day we were leaving the plumber came to fix it. The dryer started not drying, seem to have an enormous amount of lint in it under the lint trap. After removing some of the lint the dryer started drying better. One of the skillet's (medium sized one) had scratches on the inside bottom causing some to flake. The hallway needs to be cleaned more often along with insect patrol due to roach being seen in hallway.
I sent a question before booking that went unanswered. The location is convenient. However, there is a disconnect between the resort & property owner with check-in/check-out instructions. The guest bed is not comfortable, but the Master bed is comfortable. Both showers back up with water. No shelf to place toiletries in guest shower & the shower door won't close. Adequate kitchen dishes and cooking pans. Unit was not completely clean upon arrival. There was dust on the furniture and hair in the shower area. Several guests & employees smoking even though it says non-smoking resort. Covid was not taken seriously. No employees wore masks even though the door said it was required. Pool shower rinse-offs did not work.

Karey, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your stay in Palms Resort #1814, a conveniently located, two-bed/two-bath condo. We are happy to know that you found the master bedroom bed to be comfortable and a sufficient amount of dishes and cooking pans was provided. Real Joy does not have an on-site representative at such properties as this one. An email is sent to guests on the day of their arrival at 2:00 p.m., which provides gate codes, door codes, parking information, etc. Please accept our apology for the cleanliness of this unit, the showers, and the uncomfortable guestroom bed. We would have been more than happy to send someone to come reclean and remedy the draining issues had we been made aware during your stay. We unfortunately have no control over other guests or employees smoking or not wearing masks or the pool shower rinse-offs not working. Thank you for your patience and for choosing Real Joy.
We enjoyed our stay. Property was clean and comfortable.
