Hi Rady, thanks for your five star feedback on Emerald Beach 1627! We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the view and hope to see you again in the future. We appreciate you booking with RealJoy!
We enjoyed our vacation. Next time we will have a baby with us. Very relaxing
We enjoyed our last vacation of a family of 4 next time we will have a baby with us. This is our favorite place to stay. Walking distance to everything. We literally relaxed all week on the beach. Everything was perfect and comfortable
The room was nice. We hated the fact that we couldn't adjust the thermostat. It was warm in our room. We had to buy fans to sleep at night. There wasn't a broom in the room so we could sweep all the sand from the beach. I did find a cheap vacuum in the closet but wasnt much help. Need more kitchen towels. Just 1 towel wasn't enough. The last place I stayed at provided laundry soap and dryer sheets. There was laundry soap, but just enough for 1 load. So we had to go buy that also. Neighbors were weed smokers, so couldn't sit on the balcony at times because it was so strong. Bertha did put a damper in our plans, but it was nice to have some down time with no responsibilities. Overall, the room was nice (a little warm for our liking) and had a great view. Thank you for letting us stay with your resort.

Thank you for your review of Emerald Beach 1627. I’m glad you enjoyed the view and some downtime, and I’m sorry the stay wasn’t completely comfortable.
I appreciate the specifics — the thermostat is controlled by building systems, but I’ve reported your concern to maintenance so they can verify the AC and explore any guest-adjustment options. I’ve also shared your notes with housekeeping: we will add a broom, improve the closet vacuum, increase kitchen towels, and keep extra laundry detergent and dryer sheets for longer stays. I’m sorry the neighbor smoke affected your balcony time; we’ll notify the association/property team so they can address guest behavior when possible. Sorry, too, that Bertha impacted your plans.
Thanks again for the helpful feedback, and for staying with us.

Curtis, we are happy that you enjoyed a good rental experience while staying at Emerald Beach Resort in Panama City Beach. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.
Our family of 3 had a wonderful 5 day stay! The location was fantastic with so many restaurants and shops within walking distance. The condo was clean and comfy. The view was beautiful...sunsets and sunrises both. Our son loved listening to the waves while watching the activities on the beach from our balcony. He also loved the pool area with games and especially the life-sized chess game! My husband and I loved the sky bar. We took advantage of the happy hour a couple of evenings and enjoyed the live entertainment. Our overall experience was wonderful! Hope to be back soon! = )

The room was beautiful. The ice maker wasn't working but we called and maintenance came and repaired it very quickly and brought us 2 bags of ice to make up for it. The only complaint I have is the elevators were very, very slow

Hi! We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your stay in this beautiful Emerald Beach Resort condo in Panama City Beach. We appreciate your patience in regard to the ice maker not working properly and are happy that maintenance was able to resolve the issue quickly. Although we completely understand your frustration regarding the elevators, we unfortunately have no control over the elevators at any property such as this one. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Property was fantastic. Very athletically decorated. Amenities were terrific. I would think the owners and management could/would do more, however, to enforce the no smoking policy. No smoking signs everywhere, but couldn't even enjoy coffee in the morning on the balcony because of the idiots smoking weed. I know its because all the filth and trash from ATL think they're big spenders and are going somewhere to go to PCB, but there's going to have to be stricter enforcement of the no smoking policy for it to be enjoyable.

Mark, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your rental experience. We are happy to know that you enjoyed the terrific amenities and very aesthetically pleasing decor during your stay in this condo at Emerald Beach Resort in Panama City Beach. Please accept our apology for any discomfort endured. Yes, there is a no smoking policy. Unfortunately, we are unable to enforce this policy with other property guests that may not be renting with us. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Everything is very convenient. Location, in/out, several things within walking distance. If you want one of the chairs/umbrellas on the front row, you need to go down as soon as you get there or you’ll end up on the back row. We didn’t go down until the 2nd day and they were already spoken for. There is a hut in the middle of the chairs down on the beach where they will assign them to you. First come, first serve. You will keep the same number throughout your stay. Also, park on the 3rd level in the parking garage. This is the level with the Sky Bridge that you have to walk across. It makes things much easier and less walking.

Murray, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're glad everything was as you expected and the location was convenient. We agree with your advice regarding the beach chair rental and parking. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
The condo is what we expected, but it was a loooong way from the parking garage to the condo IF we could get a spot. Most of the time we had to park in the backup garage that was a ridiculously long way, down a dark alley. Definitely would have chosen somewhere else if we'd known this. Pool was lame, no view of the ocean, but of the parking garage we couldnt park in. There are not two pools, there is only one pool area that doesnt allow outside drinks. No crosswalk unless you go up and down the elevators and escalators. Overall not a good value for the money. Wont stay here again.
We had the best family vacation and enjoyed everything about this condo and resort. It was perfect for our family of four. It had everything we needed and was very spacious. The beds, the couch, the linens were all very comfortable. I loved that we had two bathrooms with the a shower and bathtub available. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Everything was extremely clean, organized and beautifully decorated. You can tell the owners take great care and love this unit. I loved that the beach chair service was included in the rental. I did not know that, however until the second day, so we did pay for two days but it was worth it. You just have to let the chair company know that it's included and give them your information. My family really enjoyed all of the pools and kid friendly games, the arcade etc. The only thing I would change, would be to add an upper lock to the balcony sliding glass door out of a child's reach.( My husband and I enjoyed the balcony, but it made me nervous and we did not not let the kids go out there with a high top table and chairs so close to the railing. No complaints, just a safety suggestion) The ocean view was absolutely breathtaking! We will definitely be returning!

Beth, Thank you for the 5-star review. We’re glad you had everything you needed and were comfortable. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
We had a great time during bike week. There were some issues that need to be resolved one of which could have ended very badly. The 1 major concern was the legs on the master bed need to be fixed. Underneath the bed the support legs were bent. Bed was unstable and we didn't sleep in it the last night we had to sleep on the sofa. The second reason we slept on the sofa is the toilet ran all day and night in the master bedroom. It was so loud that it woke you from your sleep several times throughout the night. You could hear it in the livingroom area as well. We just opened the door to the balcony and let the sound of the waves try to drown out the noise. The master tub also did not drain. Water pooled in the tub even though the drain was open.
The place needs some work but it was very well decorated if that matters at all. If none of this is a problem to anyone else then they will have a great stay I guess. I like the building just feel like for the price I paid I should have been able to sleep comfortably in peace. Ugh!
There was nothing terrible about the unit but a lot of little not great things that add up. It was middle-range price and that’s sort of what you get. Doing over, I’d pay more and stay in a nicer unit.
Pros: great view! Loved the sliding balcony doors. Easy check-in. Starbucks on-site.
Cons: washer was terrible. There were so many warnings posted around the washer I was afraid to wash anything. Couldn’t just throw in a load of towels and go to dinner. Warnings said not to leave unit with washer running which really sucked. Ceiling tiles in hallway bath were wet all the time which made me concerned about mold. When in that shower, you were looking at wet tiles 8 inches overhead. Kitchen had the barest of bare cooking ware. Balcony furniture was soooo uncomfortable and had some slats on chairs broken. Unit is by elevator and master is at back of unit so all day and night you could hear people waiting for elevator.
Again, beyond the washer situation nothing terrible but just not great.
We really enjoyed the location and the size of Condo was perfect for our family. Wish the weather was better during our stay so we could really could experience Panama. At least at your property, you have so much to offer that we could find things to do. Thank you for the hospitality!
Upon a 4:00pm check-in the tv had no signal, refrigerator had no ice or water working. Called to complain and maintenance couldn’t come until following day. Wasn’t there to sit around for a maintenance call. We refused such call. Husband walked across the street for a bag of ice and bottled water. Husband had to reset tv from behind tv. We were given all the things to do and not do in the condo except info how to get from garage across the street to an outside elevator to get to room. Such a disappointment for the amount of money spent for 4 nights.
The only thing was that the A/C was programmed and unable to adjust due to at night the bedroom in condo got a little chilly at night
