Great Thanksgiving Visit!
We had a wonderful stay, and we were so impressed by the level of attention from the management company. The year round neighbors were so friendly and welcoming, and we had a blast playing pickle and relaxing at the hot tub and heated pool. The best part: I was horrified when we pulled up - I realized that I’d accidentally booked our arrival for the next day! My family was tired from the drive and not happy with me- but the management company pulled a miracle and let us check in seamlessly and early! Crisis averted. :) Aside from that, the house is very pretty and welcoming and we had a great experience.

This is a beautiful property and likely the most well-equipped VRBO property we’ve ever stayed at, globally. Everything you could ever need or want for your getaway is there. And don’t skip the golf cart rental … definitely a highlight of our trip.

Over Promises from Realjoy Vacations
The Property itself is very nice. RealJoy is the problem. When reserving, we emailed RealJoy about a previous post saying the AC would only go to 70. Got this email reply:Kathryn (RealJoy Vacations Guest Services) May 10, 2021, 3:34 PM CDT Hello! The property manager has let us know that this property's thermostat can go down to 65 degrees! Please let us know how we can further assist you! We reserved, then got to property and there was a sign by AC saying only 70 degrees. Emailed again and got the following response: Jessica Lopez (RealJoy Vacations Guest Services) Jun 27, 2021, 12:31 PM CDT Hi there, Unfortunately we are unable to lower below 70 our apologies. Jessica. We would not have reserved had RealJoy been honest. Also, one bedroom had not been cleaned very well, it still had gold fish or cheetos in the bed. We called and no reply from RealJoy. The ice machine didn't work for a few days, and RealJoy said they were sending a repairman, didn't happen. I tried contacting RealJoy a couple of times before writing this and never got a response.

Beautiful Octopus' Garden
We had a wonderful time at the Octopus' Garden house. What a beautiful home it is. Everything was lovely and comfortable. It was a beautifully decorated beach house and made us feel spoiled the whole time. We loved swinging on the front porch, having dinners out there too, riding bikes to the pool and beach, loading up the golf cart and going to the beach, playing basketball, walking on the nature trail and enjoying the whole neighborhood. When we left a sketchbook of my daughter's at the house, they kindly found it and mailed it to us. We would definitely come back!

Not our best visit
The property mentioned that we were walking distance from the beach, we were NOT. We had to drive everyday to the beach and fight for parking. Which, if we had just been told correctly, we would have been prepared. Also, I have contacted this company soooo many times through the message link and still, weeks later, no one has responded. Another thing, it was soooooo hot in the house. The unit temperature wasn’t allowed to go below 70 degrees, I’m sorry, but when I’m paying this much for a property, I should be able to put the thermostat on what I want. There were nights, bc of the humidity there, that sleeping was difficult bc it was 70 degrees in the house. The home is beautiful and clean but we won’t be back or recommend anyone:(

Beautiful, spacious, and clean
We had the best time staying at Octopus's Garden! It fit our family of 8 adults and 1 child very comfortably, with room to spare! The beds are very comfortable, the front porches are amazing, and we loved using the complimentary beach chairs and bikes. Only a couple of very minor nuisances- the master bedroom on the 2nd floor's breaker tripped frequently throughout the weekend, but was easy to reset. Also the garage door opener takes a few tries each time to get it to work. But we would stay here again in a heart beat! Easy walking distance to the pools and easy drive to 30A and the beach. And we didn't use shuttle because of child with car seat but they will come pick you up from house and drop you off at beach which is very convenient! Thank you for an amazing stay.
