Horrible experience with both this property and Real Joy Vacations (property manager)!!!

We had a multitude of issues with this property that put a huge damper on our vacation. This was supposed to be a non-smoking property with signs posted in the house. It was far from that. The people before us apparently smoked significantly. When we got there and late into the evening, the cleaning people left dirty linen bags right outside the front door that were never picked up. We called to complain about the smoke smell. It wasn't until in the evening the first night until someone came out from the property management company. Their employee acknowledged that the three bags wreaked of smoke and took them away. We told her there were cigarette butts outside the front door where the two chairs are and also out back. No one came and cleaned those up. The woman who came out gave us a spray that didn't do much other than mask the smell. Another problem was that they wet cleaned the sofas in the living room before we got there and we basically could not use them the first night until they dried. No one said a word before we got there to give us a courtesy heads up about any of this. They finally called the next day, acknowledged the problem, and did a deep clean process while we were at the beach. It helped but the smell was never fully eradicated. And now we know why. The smoke smell had gotten into many of our personal items. They did change a light bulb that was out in the microwave but never gave us a battery to replace the dead one in the remote for the outside string of lights. Here's the big problem. We got home and out suit cases, clothes, pillows, pillow cases, paper products (paper towels, napkins, TP, etc.) and our cars all smell of smoke. We had follow-up conversations via text from Real Joy Vacations and they basically washed there hands of it. During the process, one of their employees said we would be compensated as part of correcting the process, but now that we are home, that was declined. I've rented a lot of vacation homes but this one and their property management company was by far our worst experience that we've had.

Nice comfortable home

The home was very clean and fresh. The kitchen was well stocked. We loved the basketball game in the garage! The swimming pool was small but adequate and quite close. I don’t think the home can adequately sleep 11. The beds in the twin room are singles and very cozy for 2 people. We did call the manager and they had an air mattress there within the hour which was fantastic! Our only complaint was the beach is not as close as it sounds. The neighborhood gate by the house that goes to the beach is locked so you have to walk through the neighborhood to another gate. Also there is nowhere to park a golf cart at the beach entrance. Other than that we had a great week! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Not so Funinthesun

The unit was as described but in desperate need of a deep clean especially the floors. Our feet were black on the bottom from walking around in the home. I know what the host response will be: if you would have contacted us someone would have come to clean, yes, true, but we would have also had to leave the property while it's being re-cleaned. If the unit was properly cleaned every time this wouldn't be a problem. Also, the cleaning fee that comes with this rental is pretty hefty so one would think it would be nicely cleaned. The HOA has control over the pool for this unit which is not detailed in the description. Without any warning they decided to close the pool for multiple days because there was a CHANCE of bad weather. I had FIVE kids who wanted nothing but to swim in the pool because double red flags were up at the beach due to the current. I contacted realjoy multiple times and was finally told there was nothing they could do. The walk to the beach was okay but not desirable for elderly or ones with small children. I will mention that the beach equipment was broken but Realjoy did send new replacements within a reasonable time. The area in general is very crowded with lots of traffic. I wouldn't stay here again.

Spring Break Fun

We had a great time at Fun in the Sun. The management company was quick to respond to our needs. The pool was not heated so my grandkids only used it once. The beach was great and was a short walk. We appreicated the wagons and extra beach chairs and toys. Per the reviews I read, I brough extra trash bags, paper towels and toliet paper. The kitchen was otherwise well stocked. The large sectional sofa was great for our large family to hang out together on. The corner lot was perfect. I wish we could have parked more cars in the drive as we had 4 and had to find places to park the 2 away from the house. I accidently left something behind and the management company was great about helping me retrive it.

Fun in The Sun Yippee!

We absolutely loved our stay at Fun in The Sun house and Miramar Beach. The home was spacious and clean just exactly as pictured on the website. It was easy walking distance to the gated beach and a very quiet, safe neighborhood. The owners provided plenty of dishes and cooking supplies, towels and hair dryers in every bathroom. All beds and pillows extremely comfortable! We enjoyed using the grill and back patio. The property managers were easy to get ahold of and answers all of our questions! We will definitely stay here again.

Great location

Our stay was great! Our family took a vacation during fall break. It rained all but one day but in true Florida fashion it cleared off every day but one. The beds were comfy and plenty of linens were provided. The staff was very helpful if something came up that we had a question about. Note that the home does not have a mailbox so Amazon deliveries will go to a locked mailbox that we did not have access to. You might bring hand towels for the kitchen too as there was only one. Otherwise our stay was really great. Would rent again.

Awesome location! Sadly, the house was poorly kept

Best part of this property was the location! The overall cleanliness was disgusting. The fans in all of the bedrooms had an inch or more of dust on them, shower curtain was dirty and needs to be bleached, door in the kitchen was covered in dust and we had to clean the outdoor grill before use. I highly recommend you hire a new cleaning service. The kitchen was not well stocked! Knives were dull, no scissors, measuring cups, no salt & pepper, etc...The beds are old and sagging, pillows had no support (all guests had neck aches) and both of these items should be replaced. We were glad to see beach supples for our use but many of the supplies were broken. Lastly, the house has a very weird, unpleasant smell when entering the front door. All of our guests had to rewash clothes, wipe down luggage & purses. In spite of the issues, we had a fabulous time and will return but we won't be staying at this house!

The property was beautiful and the location was great. The cleanliness of the property could use some work. The fridge, oven, pantry and garbage can needed to be cleaned. The pillows need to be replaced in certain bedrooms. Luckily we brought our own. You will need toilet paper, paper towels and garbage bags. The kitchen was fully stocked and the rest of the house was clean. House was very spacious and the neighborhood was beautiful. They need new cleaning people and the stay would be perfect.

Amazing location!

The location was as advertised. It was a short five or so minute walk to the beach. The private beach was awesome. The home is beautiful and well taken care of. The only issue is they should consider a new cleaning staff. But, that comment does in no way take away from the home itself. Everything we needed was pretty much provided. My entire family will choose to stay here again! Five star home without a doubt.

Positive in general with few areas that need improvement. Great to have a wagon to take things to the beach. 7 min walk with private access. Beach was great… Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms! Living room couches need washing, garbage bins were not available for the entire and week this created little inconvenience putting garbage bags away. In general, was a great experience… we will definitely go back! Thanks!

First Timers!

Had a great week of vacation and home was great for our family of 8. House was just what we expected! We were disappointed in the cleanliness of a couple bathrooms and found indoor trash still there in one of the bathrooms from previous occupants. It might also be time to go through all of the stuff you see pictured in the garage as they aren't all in working order. Also, be prepared to pick up a cooler for beach as we were surprised to find that there was not one at the property already.

Beautiful house,

The house was beautiful! Loved all of the rooms, very spacious. And the backyard is just enough space for the littles to play. We did have a hiccup upon arrival. Getting into the portal for this rental company was a little difficult, but upon arrival we found two of the showers nasty! There was used soap and a hairball in one, and mold in another. We called the company and they sent someone out within an hour to clean. The house did not come with ANY extras in the kitchen. So you have to bring/buy everything, salt/pepper, dish soap, toilet paper, paper towels, foil, plastic wrap, etc. All of those things add up really quickly! Its about 1/3 mile walk to the beach, seems easy, but when you get all your chairs, umbrellas, food/snacks, drinks, it is a long walk! But the house is stocked full with beach chairs, wagons and sand toys! This was a nice bonus! We would definitely stay here again.
