☀️Close to Beach-Bikes-Community Pool-Surfin' Turtle

Clean and just as we expected. Great neighborhood, close to the pool. Would definitely stay there again.

The community and the house were beautiful. Great location.

My hubby and I had an awesome trip. Our kids backed out on us last minute and we had the 3BR place to ourselves and it was so fun. The home was comfortable, the beach was AMAZING and is just a 3 minute drive down the road. The home is in a VERY nice neighborhood with an awesome pool and workout area. My hubby needs high speed internet and theirs was great for his work!! We also enjoyed using the bikes that were provided. We had a couple of glitches but they were dealt with and we felt heard on all of it. Here are the small issues: 1. The previous tenants had filled the trash to the brim and the subdivision did not pick it up even though it was on the street. However, the management company came and got it promptly!! 2. The AC controller went off for a bit and the management company was about to bring us a fan until it could be investigated, but thankfully it came back on. 3. The TV connection does not work well on the channels, but we played card games instead. More quality human time anyway!! 4. The master shower had a good bit of mold in it. Their home cleaners charge $350 to clean the property and should really have removed it for the price. SHAME ON THEM!! But the management company is taking care of that as well. ALl in all we had a GREAT time and would stay here again. Realjoy was awesome to work with. : )

We have stayed in this area 2-3x per year for the last 12 years, & always use VRBO. We have never been disappointed until this stay. We simply would not stay here again. We were so uncomfortable that we even asked for a partial refund so that we could move to a different property, as to not be uncomfortable for a two week trip. We were told no, as it's against the rental agreement. The furniture is extremely uncomfortable. This can be a to each their own thing, but it goes beyond that, for example the dining chairs have no seat cushion left to the point of having large dips. The bed is rock hard. They did bring us a mattress topper & this was much appreciated. The sheets on the bed were dirty & we had to request more because there are no extra sheets or pillows in the home. When we arrived after a long day it was very hot inside, there was no ice, and the ice maker did not work. So, no cold beverage. The ice maker was never fixed during our two week stay. The tv remote no longer worked, We replaced the batteries, this did not help. The property manager did finally replace the remote after several days. The house is extremely bare bones for the price. We were there two weeks and I had to buy hangers to hang up our clothes, there are none, pillows because they were so uncomfortable, an extra blanket, Tupperware, a hair dryer... lots of things that are typically staples at a nice home in this price range. The home is very rough around the edges, needs some attention. We love this neighborhood & would absolutely stay in the neighborhood again but we would not stay at this home again. We did an additional week at a different location in the area, managed by a different company, and the whole process from before check-in to check-out was a dream easy. So having the two experiences back to back, we also would not stay in property managed by RealJoy again either. I never leave bad reviews, things happen, & we typically expect some hiccups & don't mind. This was just not a good experience.

The Whole process could not have been easier and the home/neighborhood was beautiful, clean, and well maintained. The only negative is that there is not direct beach access and parking is limited. If you get up early enough you will not have a problem. We would come back to this property for sure.

My husband and I extended our Florida stay and booked this property. The community was beautiful and very quiet and peaceful. The pool area was picturesque. The home was comfortable. The screened in porch was a nice bonus. The bed was very comfortable. I think the only thing I noticed and it was not a big deal was that there were some signs of wear to the property. It could use some freshening up but honestly who really cares? It was such a great place to stay! My husband even saw deer eating lily pads when he walked on the neighborhood boardwalk. It is right down the street from Topsail National park and the beach there is one of the prettiest I have ever seen! It was a great stay! Thank you!

Our stay was amazing! Everything was clean and the communication was so quick and easy. They even had a surprise for us because of our special vacation. Would definitely recommend

The house had plenty of room for 2 adults and 3 teens. The neighborhood pool was beautiful and never crowded. We were disappointed that the ice maker didn't work and there was no cutting board in the kitchen. Beach access is over a mile, so you definitely need bikes or a golf cart.

We love this property and have stayed here before and would stay again. Our only disappointment was how dirty it was. One couldn’t tell the last time someone had ever dusted. Floors were dirty. Bathroom rugs were dirty. Refrigerator was dirty. And the dining chairs are so worn your pretty much sitting in the wood frame. Very uncomfortable

Our first time to this area. Accommodations were excellent. We loved the feeling of a true beach house. Perfect size for our family of six. Bikes available for use. Loved sitting on the porch. Excellent location to beach and main hwy. Pool area very nice as well. Very nice neighborhood and loved the bridges over the water areas.
