Clean home that was better this year than last year, and last year was awesome!! Unfortunately, the weather wasnât as accommodating as the host. Would highly recommend this for its location and all itâs amenities.
The house is beautiful and a close walk to the beach!! The neighborhood is very nice! Devin the property manager was quick to respond to any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay. The house was beautiful and in a wonderful location. The beach is just across the street from the gates neighborhood, and we could walk to it in 10 minutes, but we preferred driving our golf cart. My family also loved the pool at Catch of the Day. We definitely plan to return!

This 3 bedroom house was more than expected and every bit of what was destined! Itâs only a 5 minute walk from the Beach, surrounded by nice Cafes and Restaurants, as well as close to the Outlets. My family and I greatly enjoyed and are planning a return trip!
Marie, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're delighted to hear that the 3-bedroom house exceeded your expectations and that your family greatly enjoyed the location and amenities. We look forward to your return. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Absolutely LOVED this house, & the neighborhood it was in!!! Everyone was very friendly, you feel very safe, & the host were very responsive to any questions we had. It was too cold to swim, so we took advantage of the hot tub up @ the clubhouse, which is also very close to the home. The home is also very clean & the beach was super close to walk or drive to. I would definitely like to stay here again. The beaches were also so gorgeous, with white sands & blue water. Hoping to be back sooner than later!
Bill, thank you for the5-star review. It's great to hear that you loved the house and the friendly neighborhood. We appreciate your kind words about the cleanliness and the proximity to the beach and clubhouse hot tub. We look forward to hosting you again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
We have stayed in Destiny West neighborhood for the past 3 years (in different properties), we love the location so much. Itâs within walking distance to the beach & several restaurants. Upon entering Catch of The Day, we both noticed how clean it was - it smells amazing. The host certainly takes pride in the property. We had originally planned to travel with a service dog, but ended up not bringing him. There is a small backyard area for pets though. The pool was the perfect size for floating and enjoying the Florida sun. There were lots of board games available, so if traveling with the family, thereâs plenty to keep you occupied. The neighborhood pool, yacht club and gym are awesome - very convenient and just a quick walk from the property. Highly recommend this property. We will definitely be back!
Thank you for the 5-star review. Weâre glad you enjoyed the Destiny West location and the short walk to the beach and restaurants. Itâs great the home was clean and smelled fresh, the backyard suited your pet plans, the pool was perfect for relaxing, and the board games and neighborhood amenities added to your stay. We appreciate the recommendation and would love to host you again!

RealJoy Vacations
We had a great time during our stay! I think the location really sealed the deal for us as it was so close to everything and a short distance to the beach. The house was very clean and looked just like the photos. We did have an issue with the kitchen sink leaking and the dishwasher not functioning properly but the property manager was able to send people out on two occasions to sort that out. Iâm not sure the sink was totally resolved but hopefully it was fixed fully after we left! The beds were comfortable and the size of the pool was perfect for our kids. I would definitely stay again because we really enjoyed our experience.
Samantha, Thank you for the 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear you had a great time and enjoyed the location. We appreciate your feedback about the kitchen sink and dishwasher, and we're glad our team was able to assist. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
