    The deck was very spacious and there was plenty of seating for everyone and plenty more. Having two Kitchens was amazing. The walk to the beach was very short.

    Excellent management company to work with! Great location! The home needed an update years ago. Please review the feedback from 2021; nothing has changed. The outside deck requires major repairs and is not safe for children. Several of the deck Charis are broken and require replacing.

    A nice house but in need of a remodel or some attention for the price. Some rotten/broken boards on the deck and stairwells. Some dressers missing hardware. No water out back to rinse your boat off. Convenient to crab island and the harbor.

    Great location but the place is not very well kept and was not very clean. There were misleading things about the description including a beach we couldnt access a gold cart that cost extra and a room that wasnt really a room and a bed that wasnt reslly a bed. I wouldnt use Real Joy Vacations again

    For the price, its ok, but dont expect nothing spectacular. The other reviews are quite spot on.

    Though the house was nice it needs a little bit of love. The furniture outside was dirty and half the chairs were broken. We had no supplies including toilet paper, trash bags, dish soap and sponge, laundry detergent, extra linens, paper towels, oven mitts, and one broom and dust pan upstairs. One of the bedrooms downstairs does not have a door for privacy and the bathroom downstairs is shared. In one of the bedrooms upstairs, the mattress was very uncomfortable. There were no extra blankets or sheets. There was no water pressure upstairs in the bathrooms. We ran out of hot water for showers. There were no cleaning supplies at all. So if you spilled something there was nothing to use to clean.

    The home lays out perfectly for a group of couples. Having the boat slip was great other than some of the deck boards on the middle walkway are coming up. If you step on the edge to get in the boat they pop up from the other side. One person in our party fell due to this. The home was not as clean as I am used to with VRBO. Found dirty dishes in the cabinets and didn't seem to be wiped down very well. That all being said we did enjoy our stay! Thank you
