The room was great. The hairdryer was missing. The shower on the floor above us leaked through the roof of our room and into our shower and had to get maintenance to get it fixed.

Wendy, we are happy to know that you enjoyed a great time during your first trip to Destin while staying in SunDestin 1211. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.
We enjoyed the stay here very much. The room was clean and nice, and the bed/pillows were very comfortable. The gulf view from the balcony was terrific and keeps us coming back to Destin. The outdoor pool was under construction during our stay, but we prefer the beach anyway.

We throughly enjoyed our stay here! Couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. Everyone was very pleasant at the property including the rental service for umbrellas/chairs.

This unit was wonderful and fully furnished. We enjoyed our stay. However, the bed definitely needs replaced. I kindly mentioned it to the front desk staff upon checkout. Sundestin is a great resort.
