We had a great stay! The room was very clean and definitely met our standards. Communication with RealJoy was excellent, quick, responsive, and easy the whole time.We’re a family of 5, and the location of the room worked perfectly for us. Being close to the elevator and trash room made everything super convenient. As an autism family, having easy access to the elevator, garage, and pool made a big difference in keeping things smooth and stress-free.The elevators can get a little crowded and there can be a short wait at times, but they move pretty quickly. Also, not all of the pools are heated, so just keep that in mind.The location overall is amazing, close to restaurants and shopping. We went to Henderson Beach, which was only about a 4-minute drive.We would definitely book this room again

Thank you for the 5-star review! Glad the room was very clean and worked well for your family of five. Happy to hear our team’s communication was quick and responsive, and that the elevator/garage/pool access helped keep things smooth. Thanks for mentioning the occasional elevator wait and that not all pools are heated — that will be helpful for future guests. We hope to welcome you back to RealJoy Vacations.

This was a very nice place for my family to stay. For some reason the room smelled like warm tortilla chips, but there are worse smells. We were a little disappointed to find there were carts available for bringing our bags up to the room AFTER we had hauled everything up, making multiple trips. But there was plenty of room for a family of 4 and we were very close to many attractions.

Megan, we are very happy to know that your family found the two-bed, two-bath Palms Resort #2605 to be spacious and a very nice place to stay. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.
Everything was as described. Super clean, great view. Loved the pool and the on-site restaurant was decent and has a kid-friendly fenced-in yard with games. Lots of stuff for kids to do. The pack-n-play was very nice to have. There is a blow dryer, though it wasn't mentioned in description. My only gripe is that there were a few amenities missing that I would expect to have: coffee filters, oil for cooking, salt and pepper. Would definitely go back.

Cody, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your great vacation rental experience while staying in the two-bedroom/two-bathroom Palms Resort #2605. We are thrilled that everything was described and you enjoyed the great view from this super clean condo, the pool, on-site restaurant, and available children's items. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by some of the items you mentioned not being available. Due to food safety concerns, these items are not provided/left for guests to use. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.
Location was very central to everything we wanted to do. Other guests were also friendly. Live music by the pool at night was an added perk, when the band was good. The only issues we had were that the master shower didn’t drain very well and there were a couple of questionable towels we decided not to use. Oh and the WiFi wasn’t working so we weren’t able to stream a movie at night. I don’t want those things to sway someone from renting this unit or others at this location. It was very comfortable with other nice amenities and overall we had a great stay.
This condo is beautifully furnished and the resort offers fantastic amenities (large pool, small heated pool, hot tub, tennis courts, basketball, pickle ball and on-site coffee bar/restaurant). The location was also great. Only a few minutes from the beach and close to local attractions. Our only complaints were with parking and lack of supplies in the condo. The parking garage is a haul from the condos, making unloading/loading the car challenging. We also had to run to the store multiple times for toilet paper/dishwasher tabs/garbage bags/beach towels. Overall, a great place to stay for families.

Stephanie, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your overall great stay in this beautifully furnished two-bed, two-bath condo. We are happy to know that you enjoyed The Palms of Destin Resort's fantastic on-site amenities and great location. We apologize for any inconvenience caused due to there not being more supplies available. As mentioned in the rental agreement, housekeeping leaves a limited amount (starters) of such items as paper towels, trash bags, dish detergent, and toilet paper. Guests must provide any additional supplies needed for/during their stay. Beach towels are normally not provided. We unfortunately have no control over any parking issues, as we only manage the interior of this unit. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.
The place looked just like the pictures. Checkin went very smooth and the staff was nice. The location was by many attractions and places to eat.
Areas for improvement. The drain in the master bathtub was very slow so you were standing in shower water to your shins. The toilet paper holder kept falling off. Parking garage was a hot mess. Many of the employees parked in the garage which limited the spaces for those who were staying there. There was plenty parking away from the garage for the employees. The pool area was closed for a large portion of Sunday without any notice to the guests. There was no wifi in our room. Then lastly, when we went to checkout this morning at 8:15, there was a sign that said the hotel staff was out. Out of the last five years of coming to stay at various beaches in the pan handle, this was the first lackluster experience we have had. Some of these things may have been out of the hotels control but it took away from our experience.

Michael, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your rental experience. We are happy to know that this well-located two-bedroom, two-bath condo met your expectations, the staff was nice, and check-in went smooth. Please accept our apology for any disappointment experienced during your stay. We will forward your comments regarding the tub, Internet, and toilet paper holder to property managers so that they may make sure that these issues have been addressed. Although we understand your frustration, we unfortunately have no control over the parking or pool closures at any property such as the Palms of Destin. RealJoy does not have on-site staff members at properties such as this one. Thank you for your patience and for choosing RealJoy.
Quinetta, we are happy to know that you would rent this two-bed, two-bath condo at the Palms of Destin again, which you found to be very clean; and you found RealJoy to be very responsive. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Wonderful stay
we enjoyed our stay! Condo was clean and well taken care of. Pool and dining area were beautiful. We visited in March so not super hot, the pool was pretty cold, but my kids still enjoyed it. Great food and service. We got there a bit early and couldn’t do an early check in. Which after a long drive was frustrating and there was some confusion with door code/playground gate code. BUT that was resolved and we had no issues with our stay or accommodations. The area was great, located walking distance to restaurants and beaches. You do have to cross a busy road if you decide to walk. The shuttle driver was very convenient after our day out we didn’t want to walk back again. He was very friendly as well. All in all we definitely enjoyed.
