We had the best stay at Beachside Villa 732. We were pleasantly surprised how close the beach access was to the condo. Quiet, family oriented neighborhood in close proximity to Seaside, Alys and Rosemary Beaches. Beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed supplied. Remember to bring your beach towels, chairs, etc. The only thing to note is there is no elevator so don’t make the mistake of packing one big heavy suitcase. ;)We did have to call the management company because I misplaced the check-in email and they were a delight to work with. We will definitely be back!

I’ll start by saying we’ve never been to Santa Rosa Beach. We were unaware of how far it was to Destin/PCB. Felt a little duped by the listing saying how close it was to the beach. Yes, access was close, but what it did not disclose is that the “close” access point takes you to Private Beaches which you are not allowed on. They provide shuttle services to public beaches but they weren’t running every 10 minutes as stated. Had to rent a car last minute after finding out an Uber would be $150 each way to and from the unit. (Destin VPS). And an hour long each way. When I called RealJoy about parking - they diverted us to a storage facility who was going to charge us $75. However, onsite management was very accommodating about an extra pass for that vehicle. They also were not specific about the unit being on the 3rd floor (33 steps total). Not a big deal-except I need a knee replacement & it was a chore. Also, Realjoy notified us that the pool would be closed 2 days of our vacation mid week. They said it was for maintenance. But we stopped by the pool & NO maintenance was going on. Overall 8/10. Comfortable for 8 people. Clean. Deck was large (no view).

The condo was great for our party of 4! We wanted a comfy space to enjoy our time together. It was nicely decorated, not overdone. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had good basic amenities. The property offers shuttle service to/from the public beach if you are taking lots of stuff for a longer beach day. The walk from the hotel past the private beaches to the public isn't very far if you have a light load. I do recommend using a beach chair service to save on schlepping chairs & umbrellas to the beach. Feedback for the property managers is giving better instructions on opening the door lock, as it can be tricky if you don't know how to use that type of lock.

We enjoyed the property! The decor of our unit was very nice. It had all that we needed from kitchen items to towels. We got good use of pool and tennis courts! The beach trolley was awesome to have. The beach is walking distance but they are very strict about use of the private beach areas. So we used the trolley a bunch to get to the public beach areas. Overall location was good. It was far from the congestion so we didn’t have all the crazy SpringBreak traffic of cars and people but this meant you had to drive to stores, shopping and restaurants.
