The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Grouper Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 970 feet out from the Inlet Beach access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Grouper Reef is at a depth of 12-21 feet.

Enjoyed our family stay. So much room in this home. Kitchen fully equipped, TV for sports watching not to mention the bikes. So much to do n see in this area. We did have a hard time getting into rental but called n received help. Finding the pool office to get wrist band was kind of Hiden! . We will be back.

Great beach home

Great stay overall. The home is well set up, very close to a great pool and the beach. We all had a great time, with plenty of space. We would definitely stay again. Would note that like other reviews, the first floor is dark. Not a problem for us but could be for others. And very limited essentials provided (bring your own salt and pepper).

Easy to accommodate

The 3 levels were perfect. Great for teens or one family to stay on the first level and a second group on the 3rd level. Nice to have buffer living space in between. 3 nice porches. Convenient location. Loved the bikes. Excellent value.

Good property with a significant maintenance issue

Stayed at this property 5/14-5/18. Interior living space could use some updating. Couches were very used and cushions looked dingy. Outdoor decks were delightful. The problem we encountered was 0 water output in showers when dishwasher or washing machine were on. We reported this to Real Joy Vacations but no one ever followed up with us. This property has sleeping accommodations for 6 adults, 2 (children/teens) and 2 toddler bunks. The entry way bunks do not have a door and are quite small for a human over the age of 10 years old.

Great location, easy check in/out, good amenities

Overall we had a wonderful experience with this rental. We spent most of our time on the second floor between the kitchen, living room, or main balcony area. The sleeping areas are located either on the first floor right as you walk in or in the third floor, as listed, which does allow privacy for anyone needing sleep to be away from the main common areas. The only (very small) issue is that first floor rooms were a little dark overall, as they don’t get as much natural light unless you’re willing to leave your blinds open and visible to neighboring homes or people passing by. Not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind if you prefer more sunshine on vacation. Having 4 bikes available at all times was extremely convenient since the area is so bike and walking friendly- definitely a huge plus! Management company was very responsive and easy to work with- even helped drop off a package directly to us that was sent to their office. Super simple check in and pretty standard check out with instructions. The pool area can get busy, but was a great location with lots of pool space and chairs. We would absolutely consider staying again!

Great for friends to gather.

This house was perfect for three couples. The kitchen (well, the whole house) was beautiful and accommodated cooking meals for the group. The living room was large enough to fit all of us for conversation and games. The dining table was large and gave all of us a place to eat together and research our daily plans and play games. If weather permits, the balcony and porch are great too. For additional details that would take it up even another notch: - Provide a few throws for the guests as it got a bit chilly and who doesn't love a throw - Provide something to store left overs, e.g. plastic wrap, foil, zip locks, or plastic containers. When guests are flying in they don't have room for extras. - provide more than one hand towel in the bathrooms. I change mine out every day at home so it seems unsanitary to only have one for 5 days. - Do some light dusting prior to guests arriving. We could write out name on the furniture in our bedroom. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. :-)

Great experience

Really a wonderful stay at this property -- pictures representative of the home, nice layout with plenty of space for everyone, great location with easy access to everything. If I had to be critical, the slight annoyance were the bright lights from the multi-unit building next door, but not a deal breaker by any means and one thing that could be added to the home for future renters is a broom or vacuum available for use. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

Amazing beach house! Fully stocked kitchen! Easy walk, bike ride, or tram ride to the beach.

We had a wonderful vacation at this beach house! We got groceries delivered and utilized the kitchen to make big family dinners. We used the 4 bikes to get around town. Inlet beach was great and with the provided wristbands you can have access to the pool and the private beach access. We loved our stay here!

Great Stay at "Comfort and Joy"

Our small family had a wonderful stay at the "comfort and joy" house. The house was spacious and comfortable - with lots of seating areas (we loved the two decks and the outside dining table!). The beds were comfy. The kitchen is really well appointed, with high quality cookware, and plenty of place-settings for a large group. Our family is small, but we appreciated all of the options. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet, and easy walking distance to the community pool (really nice, if a bit cold in the winter!), Rosemary Beach commercial area, restaurants, and the beach. The beach access is great -- soft sand, good views, though can get a bit crowded. We visited over winter break, and enjoyed the holiday lights in the nearby towns, and fireworks on the 1st! Thanks for a great stay.

The property is exactly as advertised. Easy check in and check out. Kitchen well stocked. I accidentally set off the smoke detector with an over flowing casserole and I called property management since the alarm triggered the house alarm. They were incredibly easy to work with and very responsive.

Perfect for large family & friends

This house was even more amazing than the pictures. So clean. The kitchen has everything you can think of. Comfy beds. Having the living spaces on the 2nd (middle) floor allowed everyone to have their own space on the 1st and 3rd floors. It was a great set up for us, as we have college kids that needed quiet spaces to attend virtual classes & study. We LOVED the porches and used all 3 of them. The outdoor furnishings are wonderful. We enjoyed cooking on the gas grill & eating at the large outdoor table by candlelight. (The ignition switch on the grill was broken, but a nice security guard loaned us a lighter & it worked perfectly.). The location of this house was perfect! With only 4 houses on this short dead end street, there was no traffic and it was very quiet. Although we are past this stage of life, both master suites have huge walk in closets with vents that would be great for babies in pack in plays.

Beautiful, well maintained house

House was very nice and squeaky clean. We are a family of six with 4 older teenagers. Kitchen is well stocked and pretty has anything you need. The only issue for us was the bunk bed areas are really small. I’m sure perfect for little ones but was quick challenging 4 teenagers. I figured they would be small from the pictures, but they were quite small. Other than that, we thought it was great.
