Overall a few hiccups

Condo is cute. During our stay we were told we had to find somewhere else to park so they could redo parking lot. There’s not alot of parking to begin with so this was inconvenient. Also had a building wide water outage, thankfully it was taken care of quickly. Weather was terrible almost the whole time but can’t control Mother Nature.

Great place

This place was perfect for the two of us. The kitchen supplies could have been better, but that’s ok because we ate out most nights. The stove burner never got hot enough to boil water. However the location was fantastic, quiet, quaint, private beach but still close enough to restaurants and activities. Seaside is only 10-15 minutes away.

Great location

We had a lovely stay at this VRBO. The mgmt staff was very responsive around any questions we had pre check-in. Upon arrival, the unit was as pictured, clean, and decorate very tastefully. The kitchen was lovely to make breakfast and beach lunches as well as walking distance from the beach. The included 2 chairs and beach umbrella made it very nice for a sweet setup upon walking down to the beach. The only negative that comes to mind was that the toaster didn't work. But outside of that we couldn't have asked for much more! PS - if you have trouble with stairs I'd recommend not staying here. The unit is on the 3rd floor

Disliked: Cleanliness

Not what was advertised

This unit was not what the advertisement and review comments made us to believe. It failed to tell us the unit was on the third floor accessed by two flights of stairs. Would not have stayed there if we knew. Partial view of beach - Not to be seen. Have to lean over the veranda railing to look down the walkway to the beach to see about 10' of beach and shore. Real joy is too concerned about early arrival and late departure - threatened by fines if violated. We arrived on time and left 2 hours early. Portal to communicate with RealJoy is complicated. Have to log in every time you need to access door code, beach access, etc.. Living space is very small. No table to eat meals. Only place to sit and eat is at the bar occupied in the center by the sink. Electric range is old. Control knobs indicating hot, medium, low are worn off. No directions how to use the controls. Burners do not continuously control the desired heat. Interior is crammed with artificial floral arrangements and seaside decor. Limited room to set anything down without having to relocate pots, shells, etc. out of the way. Veranda view is of the parking lot and on the north side of the building. Not very usable. No sun to sit and enjoy the non-existent "partial beach view".. Bedroom was stuffy. Mattress needs badly upgraded. Hallway rug in front of the bathroom is a trip hazard - the sides of rug are curled up. Needs to be replaced.

Fabulous Location

This place was perfect! Right on a very beautiful beach, private, quiet, easy biking distance to several restaurants and shops. We did use the pullout sofa for two teens and the mattress could stand an upgrade. But the rest of the accommodations - the king bed, the bathroom, the kitchen - were all nice, new, well equipped. There's a safe place to store bikes and beach equipment outside on the ground floor and the porch was a great place for shoes and towels. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Excellent Last Minute Getaway

We planned/booked our trip within 12 hours of leaving to head down and had the best experience! Space was small, but perfect size for me, my husband, and our infant. Perfect location to be near Seaside but still away from the hustle! We were unsure about who to use for chair rentals and reached out to several companies - we ended up going with Southern Resort Beach Services and they were incredible. Highly recommend if you are in need of a chair set up!

This is a great property for a true getaway. It has been beautifully updated. We would probably rent a place with a balcony directly overlooking the water next time, though the walk to the beach is just a couple of minutes. We enjoyed the property very much !

Great location, short walk from bakery. Right on the beach with private gate. Gate had been taped open for easier access so management should probably look into that ! Condo was decorated so nice. Had everything we needed. This comfortably slept 2 people. I would not have wanted 4 people there ! Super clean with the exception of a moldy shower curtain !

Driftwood Cottage Unit 9 was so comfortable and lovely! We had a view of the Gulf, and everything we needed. It was easy to rent our beach setup for the three days we were there. The entry gate to the beach was tricky, but the management company was responsive and helpful. We plan to return for future trips!
