The bungalow was charming. East access to everything 30A! Walk to the beach!! Quiet little neighborhood. Loved the pool. I mistakenly thought I booked a bungalow with primary bedroom on the main floor, so was disappointed that both bedrooms & showers were up a flight of stairs, as my husband is disabled. We managed the best we could. Otherwise no complaints. Location was perfect.
We loved staying here. We took our two college age kids and they loved it as well. The unit was well stocked with games, movies, and books for a rainy day. It was a short, lovely walk to the beach and the beach access on the other side of the gas station had a nice clean bathroom and parking. The area was great with plenty of restaurants, seafood market, shops, in walking distance. The pool area was amazing too! We really enjoyed our stay and will be back!
House was very quaint and comfortable for 3 people. Location was nice out of the crowded areas along 30A. Location on listing map shows incorrect location within the neighborhood. Itâs in a little corner but it was fine. In picture attached the house is circled, itâs not where the red end dot is. Overall great stay.

Tania, thank you for your 5-star review. We're glad you enjoyed the community and appreciate the helpful tip about bringing a wagon for the beach. We hope to welcome you back for another stay!
Easiest check and out weâve ever had. Property was excellent, spaced out and away from the other properties in the complex, yet easy to access the pool, hot tub and beach. Highly recommend and we will be returning!

We had a wonderful stay! Our place was so comfortable and clean and had all the little extra amenities that we needed. I was worried about the walk being too far to the beach but was pleasantly surprised when we got there that it was no problem at all! Itâs nice to have our street right at a boardwalk entrance and a Tom Thumb gas station to stop and get ice and sunscreen on our way to the beach. Great location! Our kids loved being close to the pools to soak in after a long day in the sand. The beds were super comfortable and accommodated our family of 5 perfectly! We will definitely stay here again in the future!
Hi Jacque, Thank you for taking the time to let us know how much you enjoyed your stay! We are so pleased to hear you found the walk to the beach easy, and that your kids had fun in the pools. Thanks for your feedback and for staying with Real Joy!

We did some checking and couldnât find where you had contacted us regarding any issues. If you like to elaborate more than feel free to contact us. Again, thank you for your feedback.
Cute house in a great location. About a 5 minute walk to the beach and a convenience store, and a stone's throw from the community pool. The house was stocked with basics and I was able to make a few meals in the kitchen. The kitchen and bathrooms were immaculate. The walls had mysterious smudges and the floors were dirty enough to leave our socks black but after a quick call to our host, Real Joy, cleaners came within an hour and got the floor much cleaner. The kids enjoyed the games that were provided and the balcony was pleasant for my husband to sit on to get some work done. Thank you for a comfortable stay.
This is a perfect location on 30a. It was just a short bike ride to seaside and food locations like old Florida fish house. And although we road our bikes to the beach, it was only a short walk straight down the side street to the beach access. We were in a bungalow that had a front yard and more secluded than the other bungalows there. We did use the pool which my 9year old loved. Never made it to the pond to give a review on that. We made a day of bike riding and rode down to rosemary and Alys (it took approximately 1 hour to do but we did have children 9,11,16,17. I enjoyed it, but they did not). The beds were comfortable. The bungalow cooled well. Plenty of supplies in the kitchen and the grill was nice. I would stay here again and 100% recommend this bungalow and location.
This was the perfect base for my family's beach vacation. The unit is off by itself, away from the other bungalows, but still just a few steps from the pool. We always had plenty of parking, right in front of the door, which you don't get with some of the other units. The beach is a 5-minute walk but you have to cross a busy street and there's no ramp down which was hard with a cart so I would recommend driving to a different beach. We went to a new beach every day and it was wonderful. My favorites were actually in the state parks (Grayton & Topsail). After a sun-filled day, we loved coming home to this quiet piece of heaven. Fully stocked with everything we needed. Comfy beds and my two kids loved the bunk bed. Bring an air mattress if you have more than 5 people because the pull-out couch bed is awful. But the living room is big enough to accommodate an air mattress so it was perfect.
Michelle, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your stay in this 2-bed, 2.5-bath Bungalows at Seagrove home in Seagrove Beach. We are happy to know that you found this rental to be well stocked with comfortable beds and plenty of parking. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Property was great communication with property manager was very poor
Given the current situation with COVID I would have expected more communication from the property manger. Early on we were thinking of cancelling due to the COVID situation and the property manager was almost unresponsive and very rigid once we finally did connect. It was disappointing to say the least. I would definitely visit the area again but likely will avoid RealJoy properties.
We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at Blue Sky Bungalow and appreciate your patience during this unprecedented time for all of us. A majority of vacation rental companies do not allow cancelling and/or rescheduling dates for a rental. We highly recommend rental insurance, especially during hurricane season. Thank you for choosing Real Joy. Please visit again soon.
Upon arriving, the master bathroom was not clean. I cleaned it myself. Disappointed. It was also a small (kid size) bathtub (everybody ainât skinny). The listing about beach access wasnât thorough. The beach access takes you to a private beach, you have to walk another 200+ yards once on beach access to public beach (overall LONG walk). It did not have extra rolls of toilet paper, only 1 roll per bathroom was given. For guests staying a week, family, thatâs not enough. This particular bungalow is fit for a small family of 4-5 max. Itâs very narrow and small. One other thing, there were no oven mitts. We had to use dish towels to take things out of the oven.
Overall, our stay was fine but I definitely would not choose to go back and stay here. No offense. Just didnât suit us how we would like for the money. I could list more decor things and suggestions but Iâll stop.
I would give a 3.5. The concept is nice, the location of this bungalow is great, being that it's away from the rest of the homes and parking is right in front. Like previous review, it could have been a tad cleaner upon arrival. Scratches on the walls, stairwell flooring, things like that could have been addressed. Main con for us was the living room furniture not comfortable or adequate for 6. Master bath drain was clogged, finally got it unclogged night before departure.
Pros were the location, short doable walk to beach, quiet area, the complex pool was nice and clean. Bedroom decor was well done. Washer and dryer also a plus. We enjoyed the Guess Who and Jenga games provided during the rain. The exterior of the home is exactly as it appears in the pics.
If we return to the Bungalows it will be a different one that has more beds in the second bedroom. Overall I don't regret this booking.
The listing refers to the Hub. We rode rented bikes there (3.5 miles) , the concert was fun but $4.50 for a bottle of water and $9 for a milkshake. Pricey when you have 4 kids. Seaside is beautiful but $ gauges as well. I will say that we didn't have to deal with ill mannered people, everyone we came across was nice.
Thank you for letting us know about your stay in this great bungalow. We're so glad you enjoyed the convenient location and provided washer and dryer. We have communicated to the owner your other noted concerns. Thank you for your feedback and for staying with Real Joy.
We were so very disappointed in this rental. The location and the unit itself was good but oh my goodness the cleanliness was horrific. When we walked in the unit smelled terrible like vomit. The kitchen floors were sticky and there were cigarette butts on the upstairs balcony floor and table. We found the source of the smell⊠someone had vomited in the bottom of the kitchen trash can and it was never cleaned up. There was a trash liner placed in the can on top of the vomit. I took the trash can outside to wash it with the hose and the hose did not work. I had to take it a neighboring faucet to wash out. There were no cleaning supplies at all in the unit, to be able to disinfect it. When we called the management company they stated that since it was after 5 pm we had to wait until the following day for any resolve. I was not going to stay in a unit that smelled so terrible and was so dirty. I had to assume that the sheets and towels were probably dirty as well considering the condition of the unit. My youngest grandchild was crying to go home because it smelled so terrible. We did not stay and luckily for us we found a much better location that was clean, beautiful and so accommodating. The very disappointing thing is that the management company only offered to reimburse us a fraction of the cost of the stay and we were not even in the unit for 1 hour. I have had to make the decision to dispute the payment with my credit card company to get my money back. This to me was unacceptable. While the person I dealt with at the management company was kind and understanding, the fact that they would not refund my money was unbelievable. I will not rent from this management company again and I wish that the owners of this unit knew of the situation. Just glad that there are nice people in this world that helped us to find a last minute spring break rental so that my daughter and her family could have a fun spring break for their first visit to the gulf coast.
Kathy, We are sorry that you had such an unpleasant experience with the cleanliness of the unit. We sent an inspector to the unit both before and after your stay, and we did not detect any of the issues you mentioned. We are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with the resolution we offered, which was a generous refund given that you did not allow us an opportunity to resolve the issues. We hope you managed to enjoy some time on our beautiful beaches and had a safe trip home.
We loved the fact that this was tucked away in a quiet little corner. Never heard a sound from any other neighbor. Although the house was a little small for our party of five, it worked out great. It was such a quick ride to the beach and not too bad of a ride to downtown Seaside. We did have to replenish TP, paper towels and trash bags as these were minimal, but it was stated in the description. Also had to purchase salt, pepper, cooking spray, coffee filters, etc as none of that was provided. But everything was neat and tidy and the beds and linens were super comfy! The pool was really nice when we needed a break from the beach. It's bigger than it looks in the photo. I thought it would be like a dinky motel pool but it was actually really nice. We would definitely stay again!
