We enjoyed our stay at Osprey 505. It seemed to have everything we needed. I think the furnishings/decor could use a little updating, but overall it was great.
Ice enough place but could use some paint and updates. Everything worked fine property was very nice

Alison, We are delighted to hear that you had everything you needed and were comfortable. We hope you will visit us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Our unit was roomy, clean, and had beautiful views! The staff works to keep the resort clean. The only complaint was the neighbors playing loud music and smoking so we’d smell it. It wasn’t crowded in May, but if it were, it may have been more tight quarters on elevators, pools, etc. But it was roomy in May!

Dawn, Thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad you enjoyed the spacious unit and the beautiful views. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the noisy neighbors and the smoke. We hope you'll join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
This is a very nice condo in a great resort. There was a lot of space to accommodate 6 adults and 2 kids. It wasn’t too crowded in any of the pools. and the time we had to wait more than a couple of minutes for an elevator was on Saturday morning when a lot of others were checking out as well. That wasn’t even too long of a wait considering one of the elevators wasn’t working.

Kayla, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're delighted to hear that the condo provided ample space for your group and that the amenities, such as the pools, met your expectations. While the elevator wait during peak checkout time was understandable, we're glad it didn't significantly impact your stay. We hope you'll join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
First let's start with the pros: Easy walk to the beach. Couple elevator rides and a walk across the skybridge and you are there! We loved the lazy river at the resort. Bonus, you can see the lazy river from the balcony, so I could watch my kiddos. Getting to downtown Destin was a quick drive across the bridge. Far enough away to enjoy less traffic and people but close enough we could get to everything in about 10-15 minutes. Now the cons: This place is in need of some love and updates. They are still using VHS for technology. I'm not to old (almost 50) but lord I haven't seen VHS since high school. There was also a bubble TV in one room and the other TV's were super small. The living room has a loveseat (not couch) it only fits two people and the other two chairs are so small and uncomfortable. If you want to watch TV as a family, you are most likely sitting at the kitchen table. The beds were comfortable enough, but thank god we brought our own pillows because I think the pillows that are on the bed are from when the place was built. I feel like if the owners put some money, time, and attention in this place it could have been a lot better. The trash can was broken also and DEFINETLY bring your own supplies. They provide you with some necessities, but it was very limited. For example, one roll of paper towels, one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, 2 trash bags and NO cleaning supplies or soap, which I found rare for a VRBO.
Adam, Thank you for the 5-star review. We hope you enjoyed your time on our beautiful beaches and will join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
