Kay, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your vacation. We're glad that the location was convenient and that you enjoyed looking at the ocean from the balcony. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
The condo was clean and well maintained. Everyone (kids and adults) had an amazing time. The views are spectacular, and its a short walk through the pool to the beach/ocean front! There is a pier/board walk right down the way (within walking distance, but we drove) that also offers fishing, restaurants, and shopping. We would love to stay again in the future.

April, Thank you for the 5-star review. We’re glad you enjoyed this condo, the great view and our communicative team. We hope you join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was a great location. Our only issues were the king room was warmer than the other rooms and we were only given 1 trash bag for the kitchen. They had an extra small fan in a closet so we could use it to help. We would definitely visit this condo again. Even our teenagers enjoyed being here.

Proximity to the beach was good, parking clearly marked. The condo was spacious but did have several items within the unit that needed to be repaired/addressed..

Pictures can be deceiving
Pictures appear nice bright and clean while in person it is really dark and dingy. It had a smell of bugs as soon as I walked in. The air filter had been changed but the evaporator coil is dirty. The master bedroom gets no air flow it was so hot and uncomfortable. I found 1 dead roach in kitchen there and found another dead one in my beach towel when I got back home.They have tried to spruce it up with newer furniture, new refrigerator, and flooring. Everything else is dirty 1980 originals. The linens were clean.The pool area seemed clean and the beach was very clean and beautiful water. I would not stay at this property again.

Our stay here was perfect. There was 6 of us staying here with a 1 year old, 5 year old , and 4 adults and the condo was perfect for us. Very spacious and even had a bed that pulled out from the couch that was perfect for the kids to sleep on. The view from the balcony was great and the location was perfect with multiple restaurants less then a mile down the road. Would recommend this place to everyone and would definitely stay again.
