Lisa, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We're sorry you had some roaches in the kitchen. Like all of our properties, this one is on a scheduled pest control program to prevent infestation. A few likely made their way inside through an open window or door each day. We're glad the beaches were great and you enjoyed your vacation. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Sundestin is always a great place to stay because of its location. Our family enjoyed our week on the beach. The room itself met our needs. It was a little outdated in some areas, but overall, we had a great stay and made many memories.

William, Thank you for the 5-star review. We hope you were aware that there would not be a washer and dryer in your unit. It isn't listed in the amenities or in the description. We're glad everything else was great and we hope you had fun on our beautiful beaches. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Clean, unfortunately the construction closed the outdoor pool, sprinkler park, and hot tub, which wasn't listed when we first booked, however the rental company was very gracious with us. The view is ok. I have stayed there before and prefer the view from other units versus the side one looking overbuildings. Would definitely stay there again, but in another unit. The washer and dryer as stated in other reviews are very small. again.

SunDestin is Amazing! THIS rental is a little lacking.
This was our first time at SunDestin - the facility is awesome! Great for kids! The condo we stayed in (818) had a very strong smell when we arrived - maybe it was really strong bug spray because there were a few dead roaches too. I found a cigarette butt in the carpet. There were also several damaged things - door loose on its hinges, paint peeling on the frame, and bed frame slats had fallen down. I wish the property had been managed by the local condo staff - they were very nice! We will stay at SunDestin again, but will try a different condo next time.

Ashleigh, Thank you for letting us know that the facility was awesome. We apologize for the issues you experienced. If you had let us know about them during your stay we would have sent someone to fix them. We will have a property manager look at this unit to make sure all the issues are corrected moving forward. We're glad the local condo staff were very nice and we hope everything else about your stay was great.
we were so disappointed in our stay. Check in was a nightmare and took almost 1hr 30mins because they could not find our reservation even though i had a confirmation email. the "heated pools" where not heated and the one indoor pool was so full we could never get in. the front desk people were very rude and slow. very expensive and not impressed!

Cassie, We are sorry that your vacation was not what you expected. Our records indicate that the property management was made aware of your reservation 2 weeks prior to your arrival. We are investigating why they could not find it. We have also spoken to the property manager about the front desk staff. We are truly sorry. We hope that you enjoyed some time on our beautiful beaches and had a safe trip home.
Traveled 10hrs to stay at this place for 3 nights at the beach. Check in went well, arrived and went straight to the beach. After spending a couple hours at the beach(2 adults & 6 children) we went back to the room to clean up and relax or thought we were going to. The shower in the guest bathroom did not work, the toilet was not fastened to the floor, the shower knob in the master bathroom was broke off so it did not work. Dishes had been put away dirty, washed but not clean. There were food crumbs all over the floor and stuff under the bed. Called the front desk and there wasn’t anything they could do since the unit was individually owned. Called RealJoy and they didn’t have a maintenance person that could come and look at it til the next morning and was told they would have us clean sheets the next morning since we couldn’t shower, that did not happen. Basically they told us we were screwed for the night but a little politer. I would not recommend staying in this unit, although the view from the side isn’t bad and the beach was nice the unit itself was poor.

Please note that cleaners are not on-call outside of normal business hours, but we do have overnight agents and inspectors to assist in overnight emergencies. We appreciate your feedback and will work to ensure better communication and service moving forward. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Location was great, centrally located for shopping, food, etc. beach was beautiful! Very friendly staff! Only downfall was the condo we stayed in was not cleaned well before we checked in, a curtain missing from main living room so there was no privacy from outside parking lot, etc, sliding balcony door didn’t lock. Condo needs some attention. But all together we enjoyed our stay.
