Wish I could rate with no stars! This is a horrible company! More like “No Joy Vacations.” My family and I rented a property managed by Real Joy Vacations for a small family reunion at 121 Moonlight Dr in Panama City FL this past weekend. As soon as we arrived the kitchen sink was clogged and the dishwasher pushed sewer (brown water) into the sink which caused it to overflow all over the kitchen floor and dining room floor. This was a foul situation as you can imagine. We spent a great deal of time mopping and cleaning up th... read more

Lesson learned! If working through a company for your vacation stay....DO NOT use RealJoy Vacations. Trust me.....it was NOT a joy at all! In May 2023, I stayed in a unit at Mainsail in Destin and it was wonderful! And, we rented from an owner. Big difference! Once I returned from my girls trip in May, I booked a unit in the same building for our family of 6 but the one I previously stayed in was not available. So, I looked around and found what I thought was going to be great but not so much! Found Unit 211 at Mai... read more

This is the worst vacation rental management company I have ever dealt with. The rental property we rented in Panama City FL had a clogged sink and dishwasher. Within an hour of our arrival the sink backed up and sewage water began to overflow onto the floors of the kitchen and dining room area. This company was not responsive to our requests to move into another property during our vacation and only offered to refund us the minimal amount for the inconvenience. We were not able to cook or clean dishes and had to eat out eve... read more

Business response:

We understand your frustration and cannot apologize enough for the hassle. We partnered with Airbnb regarding this case and both parties agreed to compensate 30 % of the rent, for the nights affected. We processed a refund of $738.61 due to the leak. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience and hope you understand we did everything we could under the circumstances.

A group of 11 of us arrived on Saturday afternoon at 4:30 pm to Hidden Dunes 601. At around 8:30 pm after just arriving 4 hours prior, we received a knock on our door from 2 of the front desk girls. They said to pack our bags because we are being evicted immediatly. The owner saw my husband on the ring doorbell with a cigar in his mouth. The owner was watching our every move since arriving. Even though we explained to them we just arrived and did not know all the rules, and the cigar was only smoked outside, they still sa... read more

Awful experience. Pictures did not match the hair, chicken wings in pool, vape pen and burger pattie left in the yard before checked in. Broken furniture and broken glass in the restroom. Outdated wood floors that needed to be worked on and multiple outlets out. Sorry customer service when these items were addressed they were the owners fault not theirs even though they manage the property. Lazy fixes done while we stayed basically to shut us up. Never do business with these people if they manage the property. 

Business response:

We are truly sorry for the hassle; I've validated the details of the case and the inconvenience you faced upon arrival. It's not an excuse, but the truth is there was quite a storm prior to your arrival which caused debris to fly into the yard, our property managers should not have missed this prior to your arrival, we apologize for it still being there. Our team will update the required additional changes so that we can improve the unit for future experiences. For the inconvenience we refunded a little over 25 % of rent, fo... read more

Dirty & VERY dated. Pictures on line must have been touched up because they do not match in person. The balcony photo online showed a glass table & 4 chairs. There was no table & only 3 chairs. The dining table photo showed 6 chairs & there was only 4. You would have thought we were in a motel 6. Master bathroom had a dirty towel on the counter, dirty floor with boot prints & mold in the shower & lots of mold in the toilet under the lid. A lady came in after we checked in to tape the carpeting down in the master bedroom. The... read more

Business response:

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're sorry to hear that the cleanliness of the property fell short of our expectations. We appreciate the photos you provided as they help us communicate with the cleaners and the owner. If you had let us know immediately upon arrival, we could have sent a a cleaning team to address your concerns, I'm so sorry we didn't get the chance to make your stay more enjoyable. We will work with the property owner to address your concerns and ensure that future guests ha... read more
