The condo was amazing. Great view, very clean and comfortable, easy access to the beach and pool as well. The complimentary chairs and umbrellas were a bit. Would most definitely stay again
This was a terrific property. It was clean. The dishes were clean. We had everything we needed. RealJoy Rental was very quick to respond with any questions / requests. One minor suggestion is to improve the LR furniture arrangement. Instead of a huge coffee table, consider a couple ottomans with little side tables. But the furniture was very comfortable otherwise. Beds were comfy as well.
Home away from home. The unit was clean and quiet. The patio provided a fantastic view of the ocean. You're right across the street from the pool and the beach. Walkable to several nearby restaurants. Two great pools, if you want a break from the sand. Parking area is well lit, and never once did I feel afraid to be outside after dark. To make you feel welcome, the host did call to check in to make sure that there were no issues, and to see ifyou needed anything. I will definitely be coming back.
Thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad Leeward Key 1202 felt like a home away from home and that you enjoyed the clean, quiet unit, ocean-view patio, and convenient location near the pool, beach, and nearby restaurants. We appreciate the feedback and hope to welcome you back.

It had everything you need, but nothing can beat the views! Absolutely beautiful! Beach was 3 min away with chairs available. Location is great as well. Close to everything but still right on the beach. Overall had a great stay and will be back.

We had a great time. I love the central location of Leeward Key. Furnishings were nice and comfortable. We have never been this time of the year and really enjoyed the not so busy time. Would stay in 1202 again.
This was a great location to stay with family. The private beach access was awesome. The condo was nice and had plenty of room for our family. We did have to contact customer service for sheets and blankets for the fold out beds, but they respond very quickly and sent them within a couple of hours. Overall, this was a great and family friendly location.

We need a deeply relaxing week before school starts and this condo delivered! The view, the beach & pool access, the condo itself was all top tier! We have stayed at a different place every year during our annual Destin visit. I think we found our favorite place. We will WITHOUT A DOUBT be rebooking this place on our next stay!
Frances, Thank you for the 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear you had a relaxing week and found your favorite place in Destin. We look forward to your next visit. Thank you for choosing RealJoy!
This condo was even better than expected. There were no negatives concerning our stay. Very clean with everything we needed. Great location and beach service is a plus. I would highly recommend Leeward Key.
We loved the location, of course we knew it would be good as we used to live in the area, but to let people know who are unfamiliar. Beautiful view of the ocean, plenty of restaurants and near shopping. I have stayed at a lot of vrbos and this company has been the best at communication! Only suggestions I have are a new set of kitchen knives, some food storage containers, and a couple of throw blankets for living room. Would definitely stay here again!
Lori, thank you for your wonderful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the location and the beautiful ocean view, as well as the proximity to restaurants and shopping. It's great to know that you found our communication to be the best you've experienced. We appreciate your suggestions regarding the kitchen knives, food storage containers, and throw blankets, and will certainly evaluate those items. Thank you for choosing RealJoy, and we hope to welcome you back soon!
Everything was perfect!! Clean, comfy beds, great space and view. Location is Perfect! Walkable to shops and dinner! Condo rental included beach service and that was wonderful as well!
I accidentally left behind several things and the property management was SO kind to ship them back to me. We will definitely stay here again!
Our family loved the ocean views from our deck and master bedroom! The condo was right across from the beach an easy walk for families! The 2 beach chairs and umbrella were very much appreciated and made setting up easy for us!
Thank you to the family that rents out their beautiful home to families like us! We made many memories here and wound love to come back again!
Randi, Thank you for the 5-star review! We're thrilled your family enjoyed the ocean views and easy beach access. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
The condo was in a fantastic location. The pool overlooking the beach was great and we loved getting free beach setup. Everything was really nice. It wasn’t spotless, could have been a little more thorough on the cleaning but overall I would say very nice! We had a wonderful family vacation for a week. Captain Daves across the street was fabulous and Kenny D’s right next door was reasonable and friendly and good food also.
Rhonda, Thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad you enjoyed the fantastic location and pool overlooking the beach. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Great location. Decent amount of kitchen utensils and supplies. The thermostat has a lockout at 69 degrees which was not stated prior to staying, so that was upsetting. Maintenance was easy to get ahold of when the thermostat would not work upon arriving. The cleanliness of the place was about a 5/10 due to the dishes not being fully clean that were in the cabinet and splatters on the bathroom walls. Overall, for a place to stay at the beach, it was still an excellent time! The pools and beach access were incredible.
Thank you for your thoughtful review—we’re so glad you had a great time overall and enjoyed the location, pools, and beach access!
We truly appreciate you bringing the cleanliness concerns to our attention. That’s definitely not the experience we want for our guests, and we’re addressing this with our cleaning team to ensure higher standards moving forward. We’re committed to doing better and making each stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
Thanks again for staying with us—we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
I absolutely loved this room. It worked perfectly for our family. I liked the location and how close it was to Destin’s restaurants and shopping stores. Honestly my only complaint was the beach chair set up. There were days that the chairs we not set up until after 9 am or later. They set them up in 2 giant U shaped areas instead of rows and the chairs closest to the water were supposedly reserved for owners, so they were never available. The workers with the chair service were also rude on more than one occasion. As far as the resort and condo itself that was great but our beach experience wasn’t the best.
