Being right on the gulf watching the sun rise and set was amazing! There was more than enough space for all of us to have privacy when we wanted it. Definately would recommend as a place to stay while enjoying the beach and surrounding area. Very clean and had everything we needed.

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The spacious property provided plenty of space for our twin granddaughters and grandson to enjoy their own area. The unit was clean, relaxing and provided stunning views from the very spacious balcony.
A real gem!

Thank you so much for your feedback, Jerry! We sincerely apologize for the stain you encountered—we know how important clean bedding is for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
Please know that we take this seriously and always do our best to catch any imperfections before our guests arrive. After a thorough assessment, we confirmed that the stain was not caused by bodily fluids, but rather a result of our laundry process. We've since addressed the issue to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
We're truly glad to hear that you still had a wonderful stay, and we hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again soon!
The entire condo complex is small...not packed with hundreds of other people. Beautiful and spacious unit on the 6th floor with a balcony over looking the Gulf Of Mexico. Perfect for our reunion with our 90 year old grandmother..easy access and not much walking for her. Thank You!Rebecca Estey

We’re glad the smaller size and easy access were exactly what you were looking for. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
We had a great girls trip. It was a great place to stay. We had a little difficulty with the tv’s but it could have been user related.

We appreciate you letting us know about the TV issue, and we will look into that to ensure a smooth experience for all our guests. We hope you'll join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
My family and I checked in on the July 4th & stayed the weekend. The view of the beach was amazing. The unit was very clean and there was plenty of room. The pool is small (4ft deep), but it wasn't crowded. There was not a lot of high traffic because the building doesn't have a lot of rooms, which was made our experience more enjoyable. The owners reached out via email, during our stay, but we didn't need anything or have any major complaints.

Natasha, Thank you for the 5-star review. It’s great to hear that you found the unit clean and spacious with an amazing beach view! We hope you join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
My 6 bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and myself (the bride) stayed here for my bachelorette party. The condo was extremely clean, relaxing music was playing when we entered, and the views and beaches were beautiful. We went during “back to school” week so there were no kids and beaches weren’t crowded. The balcony was huge and everything was so elegant looking for our pictures.
Recommendations for improvement: master bathroom faucet leaks water onto the floor, pull out couches are not comfy, replace can opener (broken) and more spare blankets would be great.
The unit is large with a good lay out and has plenty of room for a family gathering. The view of the beach is great from this top floor unit. The people of RealJoy Vacations were very good and were able to get the broken tv replaced. However the condo shows a lot of signs of wear and tear and the internet did not work well at all. I had to reset it multiple times a day. I ended up using a lot of data with my phone hotspot.
Ryan, 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.
Douglas, Thank you for the 5-star review. We are delighted you enjoyed your time on our beautiful beaches and hope you will join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
