Great stay, affordable with a beautiful beach view every morning. Right by Camille’s which makes it even better. No moisture like I previous years! Thanks so much!
Very clean, convenient to the beach and food places. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing. Really enjoyed our stay!

Alexis, thank you for your 5-star review. We’re glad you enjoyed the cleanliness, convenient location, and relaxing neighborhood. We look forward to hosting you again!
Everything I needed was provided I could see the ocean from my balcony and the beach was a very short walk. Very easy check in and check out. I will come back here

Chad, thank you for your 5-star review. We're glad you enjoyed the ocean view and convenient beach access, as well as the easy check-in and check-out process. We look forward to welcoming you back to RealJoy Vacations!
Amazing visit. The only thing is the public beach assess only has about 12 ft of width space for public people. There is no private beach. So if you want to go to the beach you have to walk about 300yards down to the bigger public beach. Other then that, The room and staff is amazing

Thank you for the 5-star review! We’re glad you enjoyed your visit and that the room and staff met your expectations. We appreciate the note about beach access. We’ll share your feedback with the team and look forward to hosting you again.
Everything was great except the beach access. We were given a gate code for the private beach across the street. When we set up on that beach we were smugly asked to leave by the security. We explained we were staying across the street and given the gate code to get in. He said you will have to use the small sliver of public beach. I don’t understand why the host would give us the gate code for the private beach if we aren’t welcome to use it.
Other than this everything else was great. Nice apartment and amenities. Heated pool was great as the weather wasn’t the greatest Bo would have given 5 stars if it wasn’t for the beach situation
