Great location, private, quiet and clean. The washer broke during our stay, but the maintenance guy responded the same day and fixed it. We would stay here again.

Cute place, easy access to beach and kid-friendly. I'd stay there again
We liked this unit and the location. It has a nice view of the beach from the balcony and if sitting on the couch you can see the ocean, too. Very cute decor and kid-friendly furniture/tables. It had everything we needed for a few days at the beach. Short walk across the street to the beach and clean. Good location... Directly across from Captain Dave's, a block from Kenny D's for takeout, and a mile from Crab Trap and Pimpano Joe's. Pool was great for the evenings.
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at this wonderful condo. From the easy beach access to the beautiful views. We hope your family will come back to visit. Thank you for choosing Real Joy!
Great location, loved having washer and dryer in unit, bed and hideabed both very hard and uncomfortable. Had to go to local store and buy a mattress topper.
Marsha, we appreciate you providing us with some feedback regarding your vacation rental experience while staying at Chateau La Mer 1D, a one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit that sleeps four. We are happy to know that you loved the location of this unit and having a washer & dryer. We apologize for any discomfort you experienced in regards to the bed and sleeper sofa. We strive to resolve any issues or answer any questions that are brought to our attention in a timely manner. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.
The condo is darling and is as described. It was perfect for my husband and me. We enjoyed the rainy view from the dry balcony. Captain Daveâs restaurant is directly across the street and has excellent cuisine. The Crab Trap is nearby and has sand games and a tiki bar so people watching was great.
I have only 2 gripes: check in is 4pm, checkout is 10 am sharp. This makes for a more rushed coming-and-going. Also, housekeeping showed up at 9am knocking like a mouse then started to put in the lock code before I realized what was going on. We were trying to get ready :(
Hi Branden. Thank you for your feedback on your stay at this lovely condo. Weâre happy to hear you enjoyed the location of this unit and the view from the balcony. We apologize that housekeeping was their early and we will communicate this to the cleaning service about the policy. We value your referrals and hope you will come back to visit us! Thanks again for your feedback and thank you for staying with Real Joy!
This place has it all. Charming decor, across the street from the beach, as well as great seafood at Capt Daveâs! There are plenty of beach supplies and the like there for you as well. You are very close to many Destin attractions, and a ton of retail shopping options. We will stay here again next time we come.
Hi! We are very happy to know that you enjoyed a great stay in this well-located, charmingly decorated one-bed, one-bath unit and you would stay here again. Thank you for choosing Real Joy. Please visit again soon.
(1) Property description says that extra cleaning precautions are made due to COVID. Not true. There wasn't even a scent of cleaning in the unit. Shelf in bathroom was dusty, so it could not have been cleaned. This was most disappointing because of COVID. If you're going to advertise that you take extra steps, then take those extra steps.
(2) Bathroom sink drains very slow
(3) Vertical blinds - dirty and some are missing (in bedroom), so had to use blanket to cover so sun wouldn't shine in in the morning.
(4) Coffee pot - should invest in auto-shutoff. Also, there wasn't a permanent filter or even one paper filter to make coffee. A permanent filter cost like $3 - it would go a long way so the guest doesn't have to run to the store first thing in the morning.
(5) Internet is very shoddy. Owner recommended to reboot router in bedroom. This gets old. Streaming doesn't work on TV so you're stuck with whatever local cable co. offers. Not a huge deal, but allowing streaming on your smart TV (apps were there, just didn't work), is kind of a default these days.
(6) Bed and sofa not very comfortable.
PROS:
(1) Very close to beach - and has a beach view.
(2) Neighborhood seemed quiet and unit is on 2nd floor, so no-one above made it quieter.
(3) Mostly clean, with the exceptions from above, and didn't see any bugs (roaches, ants) that I've seen in others.
This property was absolutely beautiful! Would definitely stay there again. I felt very at home and it was very clean. A minute walk to the beach and a beautiful view of it from the balcony.
We loved everything about our trip!!! The accommodations were great. The decor was super cute and the location was awesome. The only down fall was there was no where to rinse sand off of yourself before going back in, from the beach. However a very small inconvenience. đ
Next trip to Destin, we will try to stay at this location again.
The check-in process was very convenient and efficient. Everything at the condo worked well and it was very home-like. The location was great! A very short walk to the beach. The beach area was very beautiful! Would definitely book this property again... đ

The description was everything it said it would be. I loved the water pressure in the shower. The extra seats were awesome. I love that you have a umbrella and chairs in the closet. And again there is a beach access literally right across the street. We loved it and will definitely book again. Thank you for sharing your space with us. <3 :D

Really enjoyed our stay. Very close to the beach.Loved the balcony that overlooked or you can see the beach. The place we stayed was perfect for us. We have considered coming back to the same place.
We had a pest issue with an animal trying to crawl into our master bedroom roof that caused us to be woke every morning of our stay between 5 & 6 am. It took the condo over 24 hours and 2 complaints to even get animal control out to look at the issue then they did nothing to resolve the issue. We had to sleep the last 2 nights on the horrible pullout couch in the living room to get a little sleep because we were exhausted. We requested to speak to the manager or owner and were always given to a generic customer line. We had a miserable experience. We have sent emails asking for compensation for a portion of our stay with no response. We have also left voicemails and are still waiting to hear from anyone higher up about our experience. I do not recommend this location.
Hi, we are so sorry to hear about your experience. Our records indicate that you called us a few days into your stay about the scratching on the roof and we sent someone out to assess the issue. We apologize that we were unable to resolve it for you during your stay. This isn't our typical customer experience & we can do better. We apologize again & thank you for your feedback.
Great place, very nice. Didnât care for the dog barking next door for 3 days, and it was very protective if you got near it. Other wise great experience.
Hi Dennis, we're happy to hear you were pleased with Chateau La Mer 1D! We're sorry to hear about the unpleasant canine experience, but are glad your time was otherwise great. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again in the future
Hi William, thanks for your five star feedback on Chateau La Mer 1D! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the accommodations and its proximity to the beach. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to see you again in the future!
The condo was clean and comfortable. We enjoy having coffee in the balcony with the ocean view. One thing that I will advise is to get new pillows, the ones provided were old . Overall the place was clean, very close to the water and restaurants. Will definitely come back
Hi Clara, thanks for your feedback on Chateau La Mer 1D! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the clean, comfy condo and that lovely ocean view. We will pass along your comments on the pillows. We appreciate you staying with RealJoy and hope to see you again in the future!
