So much better than I anticipated

We went for a whole month. We have went to Florida for years but the first time in this area. It is perfect. Beautiful and laid back. The condo had the perfect view. It was exactly as pictured. It was very clean!! Never saw one bug! Very quiet, beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Could use some updating but definitely easy to overlook!

Good Condo… except for two of the three beds…

The condo is decent for what we paid. However, if you’re looking for comfort when sleeping, the king bed in the primary bedroom is WORN OUT. Although it has a mattress topper, you can feel the deep indentations, and sagging on one side (maybe because the mattress has been turned to accommodate the poor shape of the mattress?), but it is terribly uncomfortable. In the bedroom with two queen beds, one of the bed’s bedframe appears to be attached to the headboard INCORRECTLY as it tilts forward when you sit on the end of the bed and the mattress and boxprings pop up, also making it uncomfortable). I detest leaving bad reviews and I share this one in hopes that the owners will find a way to soon replace the bad beds/mattresses because we would like to return again—this was our second year in a row and knew the beds were an issue the year before, but we thought we could deal with it… Sadly, we are not interested in TRYING to sleep during what is supposed to be a relaxing vacation, so we do not plan to return until bed(s) are replaced and/or repaired because it was just too uncomfortable. The condo is decent otherwise and very clean.

Overall, the property was great. The condo overall is clean, but the couch needs to be replaced or deep cleaned as well as the two chairs in the living room. The carpet in the bedroom needs a good cleaning. But we really enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful unit

This unit is ocean front. The condo itself was pretty quiet. We did have some issues with the unit which I communicated with RealJoy to be addressed after we checked out. I appreciated the numerous texts and emails from RealJoy which made the check in/out process very simple. We will definitely book the unit we stayed in again. We had a wonderful vacation.

Awesome Stay

The condo had the most beautiful views of the beach. It was big enough for our family of 4, close enough to Destin to easily be able to go do things there, but far enough away we didn’t have all the traffic. We will be back for future vacations! The washer and dryer are noisy, but we made it work!

Summary of stay

We feel the property was misrepresented. We were totally disappointed when we walked in the door. Had multiple issues with the unit. We felt like there had been no “inspection “ of the unit prior to us checking in. I have a list of at least 12 different issues, which MOST of them were taken care of,

Needs updating

It served the purpose. Shower and bed. It looks as if it has original furnishings from 1980. Very much needs updating ! Washer, dryer and dishwasher were so loud you could hardly hear TV ( which was a 32" in main living:( ) Great view and large balcony were the pluses.

Loved the view

The condo was nice but needed updating. The king size bed is not comfortable at all. The condo was not clean, still had sand on the floors. The sheets looked as though they had not been changed, so I washed all sheets n pillow covers. I had to call to get the codes to get in the condo n wait 20 minutes. We enjoyed the pool with the children, they loved coming down at night and swimming but that was cut short because of the pot smokers. I reported it to the office.

Good hotel but wrong unit

Short and skinny is you can find a better unit by going directly through the nautilus website. It’s a great hotel but this unit needs some tlc. Check in was great. Didn’t have to go to the office at all during our stay as everything was done by email and text, which I liked. Carts are provided for guests to bring luggage to your room which was great. The view was amazing! Right on the beach with a short walk to Tom thumb for snacks or drinks if you desire. Location was great as well. Close to good seafood restaurants and tourist shops. Minutes from destin if you like to go there. Place was very clean. Kitchen amenities were great but you will need to bring a knife sharpener if you want to use them. Major deal breaker for me coming back was the furniture. All of the beds and cushions in the place are old, worn out, and need replacing. Mgmt is aware but doesn’t care enough to do anything about it. They will be polite and tell you they will pass the info on to their team but that’s it. The carpet was old and needs replaced with tile. Me and my wife slept horribly and left with sinus infections. You will need to bring or purchase beach chairs as the ones provided in the room are rusty and I didn’t feel safe with them. You will however be confronted by the chair police if you decide to sit in the nice beach chairs he sets up every morning and you aren't on his list. They are provided to guests who are staying in hotel-owned units. This is not one of those units as it is a privately owned one so if you want the chairs and umbrella you will pay $70 per day for the privilege. Parking lots and walkways do get flooded when it rains but this is expected. If the furniture and carpet was replaced I would have given this unit a much better rating. You can find an updated unit in this hotel for the same price.
