Erin, Thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad to hear you loved the location and look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Had a wonderful 3-day stay at this home - super easy access to a beautiful stretch of beach, the house was clean and well equipped for prepping simple meals, the private pool in the back was clean and great for relaxing, and the bikes were a bonus for getting around. Would definitely recommend this property and consider it again in the future!
Brian, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're delighted to hear that you had a wonderful stay and were able to enjoy the convenient beach access, well-equipped home, and private pool. We hope you will join us again soon to experience more of the local area and amenities. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
We wanted a warmer and safe space to work and learn for the month of February and Double Down was perfect for our family! There was plenty of space for our family of 5 to spread out during the day and the Internet held up during multiple zoom meetings and lessons. The pool was a great size and temperature, even during the cold days for the kids to play inside. The beach was just a few blocks away and the grocery store was a short drive. We built a fire in the fire pit and enjoyed the stars one night. The kitchens had plenty of cookware and we used the grill often for our meals in. The beds were cozy and there were plenty of towels to use. We miss it already and can't wait to visit again!

Seagrove Beach Doubledown exceeded our expectations. While the photos were lovely, we weren't sure it would be as charming in real life...but it was. The location was extremely walkable to the beach and the pool was a great size for the four children who played in it when the weather wasn't ideal at the beach. We mostly enjoyed quiet time but did venture out to the Hub and Seaside. We enjoyed the shopping but it reinforced that preferred the lower density of the Seagrove neighborhood. We shared the house with another family and found the "two sides" very convenient for some privacy yet the space still lent it self to a common, shared experience.
I could see us renting this property again for another Spring Break because it suited our families well.

House was great. Plenty of room (4 bedrooms with 2 pullout couches). House was very clean upon arrival.
Two issues:
Communication was not good through the VRBO app. As soon as I called, response and action were prompt. Just be sure to call and you wonât have any issues.
Upon arrival, the pool was dirty and needed to be cleaned. Did not use the first day because of this and had to let the cleaning chemicals settle.
Overall: I would recommend this house to stay in. The interior is great, value is amazing, and the location to the beach is phenomenal.
This was our 10th year to Seaside and weâve never had any issues before. This home was a great location but the house needs a lot of work.
Mold on the ceiling in one of the master bathrooms, clogged sink in the half bath, broken towel holders, minimal TV channels and the pool needed a lot work. We had to clean it when we got there, there were weeds everywhere and loose pool tiles. We did love that it was close to the beach but the house was not what we were expecting.
Left side of home (when looking at from street) was hot and smelt like mildew. We slept hot each night. The upstairs bathroom has mildew on walls and ceiling. There is NO beach view. Grill was nasty. The photographer did a great job of taking pics of the house only to be disappointed when walking in. Pool needs work. We left a day early and will never stary at this house again or recommend.
We stayed at Double Down on a recent spring break vacation. We split the house with another family. Each side had two parents and two adult children. It is a great place to give families some privacy but also share time together on the porches and backyard.
We loved the dual kitchens, two full baths on both sides and the shared porches. We also enjoyed the pool in the backyard on a day the beach had double-red flags. One evening, we also had a fire at the firepit.
The location is excellent! There are two public beach accesses from either end of the street. It is a 1-mile easy walk to Seaside city center. Easy area to bike around and short drive to stores.
The only thing I would suggest is some deep cleaning of couch pillows and deck cushions. The pool deck could also use a good pressure wash and mud-jacking. I also wish there was a washer/dryer on both sides as it was hard to share this and not "disturb" our house mates, but this was a minor inconvenience and we worked it out.
Also, the property managers were very responsive. We couldn't find a broom and didn't have any fry pans. We got both items within a few hours of our request. All of the questions I asked prior to our stay were responded to quickly.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay! It was great for our two families.

Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
We stayed at Double Down for Spring Break this year. It wasa our first visit to this area. This area is crazy with teens during Spring Break, but our teens had an awesome time! The house is great for 2 families, because there are two kitchens and two dining/den areas. The layout was great and the kitchen was stocked decently with pots/pans/utensils. There wasn't a single spice in the kitchen, so we had to run to the grocery for salt and pepper, oil, etc. The pool was beautiful and we asked to have it heated. Apparently, you need to ask a week in advance for this and we were unaware of that. The reason being is that it takes many days to heat the pool with a very small heater. Even though the pool heater was turned on the day before we arrived, it never warmed for us during our 4 day stay. We did get one day of rain which probably set it back also. My one gripe is that the condo was not cleaned thoroughly. It was clean on first inspection, but a deeper look revealed items left behind from previous guests (undies under dresser, a shoe under bathroom sink and a really disturbing medical apparatus left under a bed). The unit really needs a deep cleaning. We would have been happy to tidy up during our stay but there was not a single broom, dust pan, or even a backup dish cloth available. Overall, we loved the area, had a great spring break, and the house worked out nicely for our family of 4.
Carmen, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your stay in this four-bed, four-bath beach home that is located only 200 yards from Seagrove Beach access. We are very happy to know that you thought this house was great for two families with a nice layout. Please accept our apology for the cleanliness of this rental and for more kitchen products not being provided. We would have been more than happy to send someone to come reclean had we been made aware during your stay. As mentioned in the rental agreement, housekeeping provides a limited amount (starters) of such products as toilet paper, trash bags, dish detergent, and paper towels. Guests must provide any additional items needed for/during their stay. Condiments, spices, coffee, etc. are normally not provided due to food safety concerns. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
