We were on 2nd floor. Very convenient access to beach and beautiful views of beach/ocean from the room/balcony. The only issue we had was the dryer. It took a few times to dry clothes. It was very clean and all appliances worked fine. Never saw host but they were very informative through text/email. We would stay there again.

Great Condo
The condo was perfect. No complaints, except the pool is advertised as heated and it definitely wasn’t.
Great location. Steps to the beach and Real Joy was available to answer all of our questions.
My husband and I really enjoyed our time at the condo. They’re is a beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony. It would have been perfect with patio furniture but due to some construction to the building, it had been removed. We will be staying again, soon.
Great view from 2nd floor apartment with big balcony and comfy outdoor recliners. Inside apartment really needs a makeover with lighter wall colors, brighter lighting and new furniture. The location and view makes up for what is lacking.

LOVE Fort Walton Beach!
Very clean but it could use a few updates. Definitely needs a new stove! We were lucky that we had family in 207 so we were able to use theirs. Otherwise loved it!
We really enjoyed our time here at Emerald Isle. It was very quiet an close to the ocean. We were not right on the ocean but only steps away. The items I wished they had there were Hair dryer- iron would of been nice to not have to go out and buy. The beds were comfortable and the condo was very clean. We took ubers into Destin which cost around 19.00 each way easy way to get around the island. Overall our stay was amazing. thank you

Beachfront Property
This is an older clean property, low number of units which is great. If you don't like long walkways and slow elevators due to multiple levels. Unit is 1 -2 minutes walking distance to beach.
Outside of the boarded up balcony, due to construction that went outside of the timeframe listed on the website, that was not communicated. Trip was good, just didn't have the beachfront balcony view to spend our evening until bedtime.
Condo was clean and well stocked. Older unit but all appliances worked. Patio table and mattress for pullout needs replaced. Location and view is fabulous. I’ve stayed in better and I’ve stayed in worse. I was pleasantly surprised after reading previous reviews. They apparently are trying to improve the unit. If you’re looking for perfect this may not suit you but I’d recommend it to friends if it’s priced fairly. I booked late and didn’t shop pricing much due to low availability. Fabulous view from the room!!!!!!

Not sure
Location was amazing. View was amazing. We were aware that this property was not turn key however we did expect it to be in better shape than it was. There was a mold/mildew issue in the bathroom. It smelled terrible throughout the unit. Management was kind however spraying fabreze did not help. I had a headache the entire trip. The washing machine was so loud we could not run it while in the unit and it left weird spots on our clothing The refrigerator made weird noises constantly and the microwave didn’t warm foods well.

Needs some updating
We were not informed that the balcony leading to our room had 4x4 and jacks under them to keep them up. Their appeared to be some sort of support failure for the top 2 floors balconies and walkways that led to the entry of our condo.
Second, while we dont go on vacation to stay in a condo for entirety of the trip, we were dissapointed in the room only due to its needing for being updated some. The oven had rust bubbling through, the kitchen ceiling fan would shake back and forth as if it was very unstable, the master bedroom wall outlet on the far right side next to the bed was also loose and shook when plugging in our chargers, and the fold out bed under the couch was not working properly. The "head" of that bed would just fall towards the ground and it was a little tough for our kids to get comfortable on.
I dont mean for this to sound super negative. We had plenty of room, everything worked like it was supposed to and was very clean. We just felt that there could be some upgrades to room 206 to make it better. We did enjoy our stay.

Best view!
The view has to rank up with the best on Okaloosa Island. It's on the second floor with no pool between the patio and the water. Fantastic view!!!! . .The room, not so much. It's old and warn, but very clean. Nice clean floors.If you want to stay in a perfect modern place with all the amenities, go somewhere else. I did get a kick out of the 2 bars of soap they provided. They were wrapped slivers of soap. I've never seen such small bars of soap - half the size of soap in a hotel. . . .The TV is a smart TV but is way too small. I had to sit in the kitchen chair rather than the couch because I couldn't see it from the couch. The stove was old and beat up, refrig was great. Microwave appeared to be on it's last legs. The bed was comfortable for me - one person. I could clearly hear the people on the floor above me walk around.. . . .The place is fine for 2 people, but not 3 because it is too small. . . . The building appears old with stanchions holding up the walkways in front of the rooms. . .When the bathroom toilet needed to be fixed they immediately came out and fixed it - very responsive. . .And the view is Wonderful.
La communication a été très professionnelle et sympa avec Real Joy. L appartement est tres bien placé dans une petite résidence a taille humaine. La vue est magnifique sur la plage dont le service est irréprochable. L appartement est tres fonctionnel et bien équipé. La literie est très confortable! La salle de bain principale et la cuisine meriteraient un rafraîchissement mais tout fonctionne très bien.Pour les jours de mer agitée, la piscine permet de se rafraichir notamment pour les enfants. Merci a RealJoy qui a été très a l écoute et reactif quand nous leurs avons demandé un service.

Terribly outdated & inaccurate description
This condo is nothing as the pictures show. It is disgustingly outdated and the patio furniture is unusable, it is rusted and disgusting. The couch mattress is rusted and you can NOT lay on it. The dish washer barely works it takes 3 hrs for 1 cycle. The chain lock was broke on the door. Good luck to whoever stays here.

Not a "real joy" stay
As an investment owner/ landlord I am sorry to say this falls way short of anything I would rent out. I have a mold sensitivity and have had a headache the whole time I have been here thus far. The wicker furniture smells like urine (causing the whole bedroom to smell rancid) and has most likely been water damaged and really needs to be discarded. I spent the first 2 hours cleaning to try to rid the place of the mold/mildew to no avail. The air conditioner is not cooling and filter was needing changed. When I did the filter change the old filter was wet. After the filter change it didn't cool any differently than before. At this point, we had to turn off the a/c unit and bring in outside air so that our health is not affected any further. Also take note that the lower kitchen cabinets are severely water damaged. This is definitely not what I expected to spend the week in.
