The ocean view was amazing! We often kept the sliding door open as it was a wonderful breeze and the sound of the ocean was incredibly relaxing. I was very impressed with tons of available upfront parking and how clean the exterior of the condo was kept. There were also several carts avaliable for use to help tote bags from the vehicle to the door. My kiddos and I would love to come back for another visit. Thanks for a great stay!

Our trip was very pleasant. We especially enjoyed the laid back feel of the area. We are older and don’t want the craziness of Panama City like beaches.

Katheryne, we appreciate you letting us know that you absolutely loved staying in this conveniently located 3-bed, 2.5-bath Gulf-front condo, which met your expectations. Thank you for choosing RealJoy. Please visit again soon.
This place was amazing. The host Cassandra was very helpful in recommending places to eat. She called just to make certain everything was acceptable. It most definitely was. We all had a great time. Myself, my daughter, son in law and my 3 year old granddaughter. Oh. Favorite place to eat? As recommended by Cassandra, Brotula’s!!
The condo was as accurately advertised. It was perfect. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the blinds in the bedroom on the right do not blockOut the light from the outside hallway. Otherwise we wouldMost definitely book this condo again

Loved the location and amenities of the condo. Kitchen was perfectly stocked, unit was cleaned, and the views gorgeous. Location was great with restaurants and attractions within walking/driving distance but not right outside the door so we had quiet in the evenings. Very family friendly, and we enjoyed our stay.

Excellent property with excellent views. Only request I would make is, the 2 front bedrooms need curtains on them as the outside door light shines right through the blinds at night. Other than that very pleased

Nice updated condo. We enjoyed our stay at The islander. Beds were comfortable. Found a few trash items from prior guest which leads me to believe it could have been cleaned a little better and shower in on suite bath didn’t drain well. But overall very nice condo.
