Amazing property with great benefits! Our room in particular was very spacious and perfectly slept 6 adults! The floors were pretty dirty so I do suggest wearing shoes while walking around the condo.

Erin, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're delighted to hear you loved your stay and enjoyed the amazing views from the condo. We hope you'll join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
We loved the condo, the natural light and views were incredible. Everything was clean. We had everything we needed for our family. The only issue I had was we did not know the main pool was closed. We were still able to enjoy the small pool, inside pool and hot tub. We will definitely be back! Great location, not far from Pier Park.

Katie, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the condo and its spectacular views! We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the main pool closure and are glad you were able to enjoy the other facilities. It sounds like you had a wonderful time, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon for another visit near Pier Park. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
The property as a whole was a 6. There didnt seem to be enough elevators to accommodate the sheer number of people on the property. Then 1 of the 2 elevators broke with children on it. Accessing the parking garage was confusing because I never received the codes. The pools were over run with children. It would seem that with so many pools at least one would be dedicated to adults only. The beach access was amazing.

Overall it was good, however the room was lacking in cleanliness. The cleaning people definitely don’t clean like I do! This is NOT owner maintained and the communication prior to arrival was zilch! The master bedroom bed is horrible. You can see where you lay it’s so broken down. Bathroom vent(s) are loud, the master bath sounds like a loud helicopter. Maintenance came to fix and all they did was clean to dust out of it all while leaving a mess all over the counter that had our stuff on it, that’s it. The one barstool is wobbly, the large blind in the living area was slow, so we left that shut. The rug in the living room wasn’t even vacuumed prior to our arrival and IF it was, they did a horrible job. The street noise for the back bedrooms is awful at times. The one night there motorcycles running up and down the road. Bring your own dishwasher detergent as theirs is junk. We also brought our own laundry detergent and dish soap. The unit has several boogie boards, umbrellas, sand sifters and a few small pool noodles. We left 2 pool floats for future guests . Enjoy!! We would not rent this unit again.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re truly sorry to hear that certain aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. Cleanliness, comfort, and communication are extremely important to us, and it’s clear we fell short in some areas during your visit. Please know we are reviewing your comments with our teams to address the master bed, bathroom vent, barstool, rug, and any communication gaps.
We also appreciate your notes on street noise and your thoughtful mention of the beach gear and floats you left behind — we’re sure future guests will enjoy them.
While we understand your decision based on this experience, we’d love the opportunity to make things right and show you that this can be the perfect choice for your next stay. If you’re open to giving us a second chance, we’d be happy to ensure your next visit is the experience you were hoping for.
