We had the best time!! This home was close to the beach. The pool was awesome and we enjoyed it every day after the kiddos were tired of the beach. Had everything we needed!! Would highly recommend for large families as we were able to be together in one place!! Would definitely stay here again.
I celebrated my bachelorette weekend with my friends and family, we had an amazing time at this house & zero issues! Would definitely recommend this place, & also SO close to the beach!

Met with family for family reunion. Plenty of room for kids to play upstairs and adults to talk together downstairs.. Kids loved the pool and even enjoyed it with outside temperatures of 55 degrees. This was a great place for a large group.

This house was perfect for our group. It looks brand new and there was plenty of space for everyone. The back deck area was our favorite place to hang out, especially with the heated pool! Beach was very close and so were several restaurants. I think we've found our new vacation spot in Destin!! We can't wait to come back

We had a group of 13 girls for a bachelorette party. We had the most amazing time. The house is VERY spacious with plenty of beds and bathrooms. It’s a very short walk to the beach and the pool was a perfect addition. We couldn’t be happier and do not have a single regret.

Leesy, thank you for your glowing review! We're glad to hear that you and your group had an amazing time celebrating the bachelorette party. It's wonderful that you found the house spacious and convenient for your needs. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for more memorable gatherings in the future!
The house was absolutely perfect for us…lots of open space for the family to convene, sitting areas with televisions on each floor and in each bedroom! We also loved the large, comfy bedrooms with 7 bathrooms. The kitchen and pool were our favorite hangout spots! Best of all was the super short bike ride or walk to the beach! We truly enjoyed our visit! We’ll definitely be back soon!
The house was perfect for our extended family of 18. Enough seating for meals and space to spread out. The bikes that come with the property need a bit of service/repair, but other then that, we were very pleased with this property.

We hope you enjoyed some time on our beautiful beaches and had a safe trip home. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Me and 11 girlfriends stayed here and it was so great! The pool was great and the house was perfectly located less than 5 mins from the beach. We did encounter 1 cockroach which I know is to be expected down south so jt wasn’t a huge deal. Overall house was very clean and comfortable
Our guests enjoyed the stay at the property. There was plenty of room to spread out. Kitchen large enough to cook for 17 and enjoying dining together. Since it was March we had to pool heated and it was the perfect temperature. We had a few issues with a leaking shower and a gas tank but the management team sent someone out right away. We appreciate the great communication with the team. Definitely would stay there again.
We stayed at this property with two other families. The location is good within walking distance to beach and close to restaurants. I will note that the upstairs and downstairs are separate. There is no interior stairway to get from each level. The WiFi did not work well for us so if you need to keep up with your businesses/work you may want to consider that as well. The heated pool was great since the temperature was very cold for Florida the time we were there.

We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your vacation rental experience while staying at Fins Up. We are happy to know that you enjoyed this property's proximity to the beach and restaurants and the heated pool. We hope the interior of this 7-bedroom, 7.5-bathroom home was to your liking. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the wireless Internet. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.
We were pleased with the cleanliness and open feel to this home. Kitchen was well supplied with plates, cookware and utensils. A quiet street and plenty of areas for play and visiting. Loved the wine/beer frig on 1st and 2nd floors. Appliances do need to be checked as dryer was too slow and broiler did not work in oven. Number of towels and initial supplies were generous and appreciated. It may be helpful to supply information regarding suggested beach areas as we were surprised to find some beach areas labeled “private”. Overall a great stay!
