Great place on the beach

Loved the condo, the pool was warm and the beach was close. The front desk employees weren’t super friendly. There weren’t many things in the condo for guests - no salt/pepper, no extra trash bags, no cooking oil like we’ve seen at a lot of other vrbos. The information real joy provided re WiFi was out of date. Tennis and pickleball on site was a great perk.

Holiday Surf & Racquet

We stayed on floor 2. Upon arrival the unit was clean and actually larger than expected. We traveled with two adults and four kids this trip and we had neighboring family members coming to visit throughout our stay. The property is secure and staff is very helpful. Our unit was managed by RealJoy and we booked through VRBO. The front desk and management staff were very helpful even though they were not the managers of the unit. We washed towels halfway through our trip and the laundry units on floor 4 and 6 were clean and open. Couple suggestions: At check-in, grab a luggage or shopping cart. The luggage carts at right out of a hotel and will likely hold ALL of your stuff in one trip. If you’re a unit closest to the beach, it will be a bit of a walk from the elevators but one trip is easy. There are stairways along the sides of the buildings. When you go to the beach, find the closest stairway and take it to the ground level. Quick access to the beach walkway. Our unit didn’t have reserved chairs on the beach. It was not an issue. We’ve spent time on 30A, Watercolor, etc. Chairs are always crazy expensive and you had to beat the rush. The beach staff here let’s you come down in the mornings and throw a towel or shirt over an umbrella to hold it. I went out at 7:30 one morning and grabbed an umbrella. We didn’t go back to the beach until noon and our setup was ready. Staff will come charge you…$50, two chairs. It’s a deal! Tips appreciated! We’ll be back!
