The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Was a great location in Blue Mountain area! very secure! easy to get down to the beach. Kitchen was well stocked with every appliance could want. Pool and hot tub and access to the beach was great. Want to come back!!
On the beach, easy access to pool and beach, no view from balcony, construction next door, wish there had been some basic spices, smaller room ok but not for larger adults, plenty of seating and room for 6 adults, unit came with one set of beach chairs and umbrella which was nice but don’t remember seeing that in information, had to ask beach staff about renting extra chairs and umbrella, can’t set up personal chairs and umbrella in front of rented equipment, can’t set up beyond the condo boundaries unless you’re in the water.

Hi Olga, we're so glad you loved this property and its location. We hope to see you again soon.
Loved the property and vacationing with young adult children can be challenging, they all had plenty of things to do and the accomodations were wonderful. Rented extra chairs and umbrellas and a paddle board and those were a big hit with the kids!! Will be back!

I love the property but the particular condo we stayed in really could use a refresh-the sofa felt like it was going to fall apart and it just was not as nice as others I have stayed at on the same property

Excellent location. The unit was exactly how it was described on VRBO. The check in and check was a breeze. I had a couple of questions before and during my stay, Mariah, Jeanna, promptly responded.
I will definitely be back.

Great location, on the beach, secluded
The condo was very clean & spacious. The location was perfect; it was nice being able to walk downstairs to a pool & the beach was steps away. No restaurants were walking distance; everything required a drive. But overall, I would stay there again! :)

Marshall, thank you for your feedback and 5-star rating. We appreciate you bringing the shower condition to our attention, and we'll ensure it is thoroughly cleaned and evaluated for updates. We hope to host you again with RealJoy Vacations!
This condo was perfect for our family! The access to the beach, with the pool right there, was perfect for the ages of our children, and it was walkable to all best restaurants/places in Blue Mountain. There was room to spare! We have 3 young children, and could have easily fit another 2 people (grandparents- "wink wink"). Cute decor and huge balcony! We would come back here for sure!

The access to beach fantastic, pool great and had good space and plenty of room.
Though, it’s time for an update throughout the unit. Furnitures old, bathrooms need updating and new bedding would update it and make more enjoyable.
All in all great, just needs a little TLC in the unit.

We will forward your message to property managers so that they may review and assess the need for updates. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.
Loved the short walk to the beach. Did not appreciate all the “private” beaches around the condo, it made social distancing an issue during COVID pandemic. The rental agency that manages the property was OK, but not superb by any means. Few things I’d change about the condo but overall it was a lot of space and very clean.

We are happy to know that you enjoyed your stay at Inn at Blue Mountain 223 for the most part. Unfortunately, "private beaches" are something that we are all having to contend with, even during this unprecedented time. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.
Our family was able to stay together. The condo was awesome, had all the items listed online. I do wish the deacription explained a little more about beach items. No need to bring tents, as they are not allowed. A beach umbrella and 2 chairs come with the condo and you can rent more during your stay. Overall, we had a wonderful time!!
