    Exterior definitely needed some updating and maintenance. Pool was not filled until 3 days into our stay. Inside condo was clean and we had everything we needed. It was a short walk to the beach.

    Great location and ease of access to the beach. Very quiet location. Easy to get around the area, lots of information to help with things to do and places to eat. Owners very easy to get in touch with and quick responses to our questions. We plan on returning next year!

    This was a lovely place to stay! No one’s fault that Francine rolled in to spoil the show! Loved the proximity to the beach & we managed 3 beach walks. Okay the last one we got pretty damp but it was exciting! Not your every day experience! We loved the place. Just wished we could have stayed longer! ☺️

    Love this place and you can look out the window and see the ocean!! We had 6 people and all slept good. When you go to the beach there was never to many people there always had plenty of space!! We took our kids and they range from 2yrs old to 17 years old. The walk to the beach is not bad at all. We went the last week in June.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Happy Joy. We were traveling with our 3 children, ages 10, 10 and 12. The proximity to the beach was perfect. We walked about 2 miles down the beach in one direction. We fished 100 yards from the condo, we rented bikes and biked to the bird sanctuary and to the Fort and visited the aquarium. The owners thought of every amenity to make our stay amazing. We will definitely be back!
