The condo was spotless, location is great and check in/ out simple. The condo need some updates - couch is squeaky & cushions are flat. Kitchen wears are basic .
Condo was nice, perfect location for lazy river and access to elevators to get on skywalk!
Condo L07 is outdated, uncomfortable beds, no extra linens for the pillows

We are sorry you found the beds uncomfortable and will share your comments with the owner for their consideration. We hope you join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
This condo is in a wonderful location in Destin West Bayside. Being on the first floor just steps away from the pools and lazy river made our trip even more enjoyable. Very easy to walk back to the condo if we needed anything. The patio is facing north so we always had some shade out there. We ate at a different restaurant every night and all of them were within walking distance!! We appreciated that the host had more bath towels for us than we needed. Nice touch! I would stay here again!
My buddy and I entered into out first FUDs tourney in October. Needed a place to stay and the rest of the MN group was staying in Destin West, so we tried this place. The main bathroom toilet was broken upon entering, but we didn't make a fuss. Overall it was clean, spacious, and connected to the pool/hot tub entrance which is was what we wanted. We'll be back!
The ocean itself is enough to draw others to come visit, Everything was great except there was a day where we had really bad weather so we had to stay in we didnt mind to do that but we tried to relax in the living room however the couch is horrible not comfortable at all we even tried pulling out the bed on the couch but that was horrible as well so i would highly recommend this place to stay but the couch definitely needs replaced! Other than that our visit was great!

Crystal, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your vacation. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay, despite the weather challenges. Your feedback about the comfort of the couch is appreciated, and we will look into addressing that with the owner. We hope you will join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
This property was great for all ages! We picked this place because it had heated pools that were blocked by the wind and since we were going in March we knew it could be a possibility that it was cold. My 12 yr old loved the bunk beds and having his own bathroom. The grill was a great addition to be able to cook out and still watch the kiddos in the pool. Any questions we had were answered promptly by Real Joy and it was nice having access to someone for help. Overall, this was a great family vacation and we would love to return!

Destin West
Overall the entire place was fun. Our condo was dirty!! The floors left our feet BLACK and the place needs a serious deep clean!! There is ZERO beach or pool toys which was very disappointing for our two kids. Luckily a friend had some at their place they were staying! There is minimal kitchen temp and bowls/supplies to store food. We couldn’t get the ice maker in the fridge to work.
Cleanliness in the bathrooms, mold on upper tiles in shower. Floors and baseboards need to be cleaned as well as ceiling fans. More hooks to hang things, like wet bathing suits, especially in the bathrooms. No grab bars anywhere. A mug rack in the kitchen as well as coffee filters, especially with not having a Keurig coffee maker. A mug rack in the kitchen. An informational notebook stating good places to eat or where to get groceries. Also in the notebook could be points of interest in the area. Also information about pontoon rentals.
Great condo and the location you can not beat. Literally parked and did not have to drive anywhere the entire stay everything is ta your convenience. Pools , beach, shopping and restaurants .
