Area Attractions:
It's a terrific residential area, yet close to restaurants and activities in Destin.
Close by is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. Also for the younger guests, a nautically/pirate themed outdoor playground features a 1,750 square foot soft play area with various creatures from the sea, slides, and a treasure chest! Destin Commons also has a mini-train for the kids. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Godiva Chocolates, AMC Movie Theaters and Bass Pro Shop.
If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach access (by Pompano Joe's), it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Melissa, we are very happy to know that your family really loved staying in this 3-bed, 2.5-bath townhome and RealJoy provided you with quick responses to any questions and hospitality. Thank you for choosing RealJoy..
We had a great first trip to Destin and overall really enjoyed our stay. There were several highlights:•Outstanding customer service•Heated pool•Beach gear provided (chairs, wagon, umbrellas, cooler)•Great location near shopping and about a 10-minute walk to the beach•Spacious unit with plenty of room•In-unit laundry and a well-stocked kitchenThere are a few things future renters should be aware of:The main bedroom bed was quite uncomfortable and seemed to be sagging. Management responded quickly and provided a mattress topper, which helped somewhat.There were also several maintenance issues, including a broken couch frame, a non-working Keurig, and some damaged beach items. The unit could use fresh paint, wall repairs, and a deeper clean in some areas. There was also only one extra blanket despite multiple sleeping spaces.Lastly, we had thought the golf cart was included, so the 100/day fee was disappointing.Overall, we had a wonderful vacation and would book with Real Joy again—just a different unit next time

I am not happy with our stay or the customer service I received when I reported the problem. The listing was a bait and switch using the golf cart as a draw to the property.

Misty, we’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations and that you were disappointed with the golf cart situation. We strive to provide clear and accurate listings, and we regret if this was not your experience. We also apologize if our customer service did not resolve your concerns to your satisfaction. Your feedback is important, and we will review this to improve future guest experiences. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
The house was clean and spacious. Close proximity to the beach and even closer to shops and restaurants cutting down on Ubers. Our only complaint was the beds were terrible quality in all the rooms.
The condo was overall wonderful! The size was perfect for our needs. The lack of toilet paper for a stay of up to 10 people, lack or towels, and blankets to accommodate such amounts was disappointing. The listing offered the golf cart in the listing without stating a required daily fee! It was very disheartening to know that we had to spend more money even though the listing stated otherwise. Overall the community was great, condo was amazing, but I would encourage the change of the above items. They’re a simple fix to accommodate your guests.
Overall our stay was not bad, however, the bathroom in the master suite was filthy upon arrival. Especially the shower. I would highly recommend a deep clean for the shower. The vacuum and mop head were filthy as well. Walls need to be washed throughout the place. Whoever they are paying to clean the place after guests, needs to be reconsidered. Bring your own pillows too!

Very disappointed with this stay. Important details were buried in the Vrbo listing fine print and did not match what was communicated in the rental agreement. The property was poorly equipped and lacked basic amenities—honestly, you get more value staying at a hotel. It was clean at least. I specifically asked management if there was a grill and was told there was one on the property. There was not.On the day of checkout, the door code unexpectedly changed and we were locked out. Management said they were unsure how it happened, which was frustrating and unacceptable.The beds were extremely uncomfortable, with mattresses that sank badly. It reached the point where I was better off sleeping on the Floor. Overall, this was not a good experience, and I would not stay here again or recommend this property.

Thank you for your feedback—we’re sorry this stay fell short of expectations.
We apologize for the confusion between the listing fine print and your rental agreement and for the missing grill, lack of basic amenities, the unexpected door-code change, and the uncomfortable mattresses. We’ve shared your comments with the owner, our operations, and maintenance teams so they can:
- Review and correct the listing and rental documents for accuracy
- Verify on-site amenities and update our amenity inventory
- Investigate the door-code incident to prevent future lockouts
- Inspect mattresses and bed frames and replace or repair as needed
We appreciate that the unit was clean and regret that other aspects of the stay did not meet your expectations. If you’re willing, please message us through your Vrbo reservation with any additional details to help our investigation. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
