Great house for our family Stay!

This was a great house for my family and we all fit in very comfortably. My grand kids loved the bunk room! (I have 8) Nice master bedroom and Updated kitchen. Loved sitting on the open front and back porches. Just a walk across the street for the beach. Loved the private pool and the Guest house above the 2 car garage with its own private kitchen. We will be staying here again!

Great location and perfect size for a large group!

My family and friends and I enjoyed really enjoyed our stay at Ocean Breezes. The location was perfect with easy access to the beach. And the size of the house and additional carriage house above the garage had a great bedroom/bathroom configuration was perfect for our large group. On the negative side, the Wi-Fi access was spotty and internet was out for a couple of days. Also, the kitchen utensils and cookware were pretty old and sparse so I would suggest bringing a few of your own essentials if you plan to stay awhile and do much cooking.

Needs maintenance

This house was a great house for my salons beach retreat. BUT There was a lot of things that needed attention inside the house.washing machine, bathroom fixtures , dining table was not sturdy,dishes and utensils were spotty .. the closest Beach access is so tiny and was so crowded when we were there for the holiday had to walk a little further distance but wasn’t a bad location overall.

Hi Melanie, we're happy you found the house great for your retreat and the location good. We hope your group enjoyed the private pool and separate carriage house. We're sorry to hear about the issues you experienced, but thank you for reporting them on your departure. We assessed the washer & a repairman is scheduled to replace the switches on it and we have taken care of the other items as well. Unfortunately, we can't control how crowded the beaches are but it sounds like you just walked a little further & made the best of it. Thank you for your feedback & thank you for staying with Real Joy.

Best Prom Weekend Ever!

I and another parent took our daughters and their friends to Ocean Breezes for two nights during their senior prom weekend. The home was exactly what we needed. The additional carriage house was the perfect location for the smaller group of boys who came with us while we (the girls) stayed in main house. Love that the house was sound proof practically to the outside. There was definitely some noticeable wear and tear but nothing to exclude or dampen our stay. We did notice a musty/mildew smell in the carriage house, but a plug-in and some citrus odor spray did wonders for that. Overall we would definitely recommend this property AND RealJoy vacations.

DIRTY HOUSE

For the amount you spend to stay at this house, it is absolutely disgusting. The showers have black all throughout the grout, roaches found throughout the house, several spiders killed as well. They sent a person to “clean” the house the day after we checked in and we had to explain to the person why a counter top had to be recleaned after he had already “cleaned it” but the dead fly that was there when we originally got there was still on the “cleaned” counter. Garage doors did not work and had to be opened manually. There is truly only parking for 2 small - midsize vehicles. Requesting the cleaning fee to be refunded because the place was NOT in acceptable cleaning condition. Make sure to bring your own toilet paper if you have a large group or you will run out and bring your own trash bags because only 1 extra thin trash bag was provided. Honestly don’t trust the sheets were even changed either. Truly disappointing for how much was spent to stay here.

We have a been dissatisfied/disappointed with this trip. First the gun that was left in the closet that one of the kids could have found to the beach area that was such a small square to have on the beach for all the people who rents these house was horrible. Parking should have been explained better. we was told there would be extra parking at an over flow parking space and 2 times I called and talked about the over flow space and even ask could we park our boat the our boat trailer in it and they said no hoa will not allow it. then on the day we got there we was told the over flow space didnt exist and we could park our vehicles in a public parking lot. Ridiculous We would have booked another home if we would have known ..the grounds had a horrible smell that my mother and dad left the guest house 2 days early very unhappy. thankfully we brought the boat and found our own beach. We travel every year sometimes twice a year. this is the first time in 10 yrs I have just had to apologize to my family for this vacation

Hi Tiffany, we hope you were able to enjoy gorgeous Ocean Breezes a little bit during your stay. It is a beautiful home, just across the street from the gulf. We apologize for the issues you experienced, they shouldn't have occurred. It looks like you wanted to check in early and we weren't able to accomodate you there, but it doesn't look like you contacted us at all during your visit. We can't figure out how the confusion about overflow parking happened, there isn't an HOA. There is a nearby neighborhood with overflow parking but it isn't this close to the beach. We take feedback seriously and are looking into the issues you mentioned. We appreciate your comments & wish we'd had the chance to improve your stay.

Ocean Breezes, Million dollar home was a huge disappointment

Ocean Breezes property was a huge disappointment. We took 10 members of our family for my mothers 85th bday and Thanksgiving. The location of the property was across the street from the condos where we usually stay and the view looked great. Upon our arrival we found the pictures on the website deceiving, much of the property was in need of repair or updating, seems this property started renovation of the 2nd floor but nothing else, bedding was smelly and old, seating in kitchen was missing, cabinets were falling apart, mixer, blender, can open all broken, all pots were old and not cook worthy, hot water was scalding, loose boards on all porches, fixtures didn't work, pool light broken, downstairs shower leaked big time, dryer quit on third day, property was just not as expected as the nightly/weekly rate reflected. If you charge top dollar for a million dollar plus home, I'd expect a home in decent plus shape. Will not recommend. Owner/ property manager responded to my concerns but not enough to change my opinion. We Travel to Destin 2x a year we will continue to stay at the condos we are familiar with across the street.

We are sorry you felt this way about this lovely home right across the street from the Gulf and that you were inconvenienced. It is one of our favorites. We tried our best to assist you with your concerns during your stay and refunded you $352. The owner heard your feedback and had a lot of the home remodeled from January to March 2017. They gutted the kitchen and completely overhauled it, updated the flooring and carpet on the main level, bought new dishware, new dining room table and barstools, all new bedding plus fresh decor throughout. This is a million dollar home and the new updates definitely reflect that. Again, sorry for your inconvenience, thank you for your feedback and thank you for staying with Real Joy.

ROACHES!

This house has a roach infestation that was so bad we were unable to use the living room not get a good night sleep. They came out at night and were all over the property. We reported the issue to the property manager (RealJoy) and they were extremely slow in looking into the issue and their response was inadequate. Although it was confirmed by a professional that there were indeed roaches, the property manager would only agree to reimburse the cleaning fee!! In addition to the roaches, the mattresses were stained and old in every bedroom, there was an unflushed poop in one of the toilets when we arrived, there were only 6 forks for the entire household to use and we had to rig the coffee pot just to use it without overflowing. The public beach access is close but be warned, you and all of your neighbors are forced to squeeze into a beach space that doesn’t allow room for beach games. We ended up going to Henderson Public Beach which was beautiful. I do not recommend this house and will certainly never rent from RealJoy ever again.

Jackie, We apologize that there were so many issues during your stay. We are sorry that you felt our response was slow and inadequate, especially since you were reimbursed substantially more than the cleaning fee. Our records indicate that we had an exterminator in the unit in less than 24 hours. While they did find roaches, there was no evidence of an infestation. Our records do not indicate that you reached out to us with any of the other issues you mention in your review. If you had let us know, we would have brought more forks and whatever else you needed. We are glad that you enjoyed the public beach and we hope you had a safe trip home.

Nice place

We enjoyed our stay we had a few issues. The first night the refrigerator in the main house was not working we checked in on a Saturday and had called the property management company 4 times to have it fixed they sent out a company who was great but unfortunately it didn’t fix the problem finally 3 days later they brought a new fridge however it was placed in the dining area which took up a lot of room. It was a huge inconvenience going back and forth to the carriage house for refrigerator items. A couple maintenance issues need to be addressed. Light in laundry room wouldn’t turn on right away. Some handles on the glass door in the master bath were almost falling off. It isn’t disclosed that the public beach access is only about 50 yards of beach as the rest is all private which sucked but we were only a short drive to the state park which the beach was beautiful. Overall we really enjoyed our stay minus the refrigerator The place was in a great location and fit us all perfectly.
