Property was in a great location right on the beach

House was Great. Location was Great. Cant’t beat being right in the beach. Need to check hot water but workable.

Great location, and house! We all had our own space and perfect hanging out areas in kitchen and living area!!! The decks are just lovely, enjoying the beach any time!

The Ocean Spray was a delightful way to spend Thanksgiving with my family. The property exceeded my expectations. The kitchen was well stocked with everything that we needed. The check-in process went without a hitch, other than my failure to operate the lock (no one had trouble but me!). We had no problems to report. Everything was as it should have been. The rooms were a good size, and everything was in great working condition. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the property and look forward to coming again.

The check in process was great, if I had a complaint it is that you pay a lot of money to have a private beach spot only to not be able to sit anywhere near your house. The beach access being right beside you makes it not an ideal location to stay.

We are going home today after a great week at PCB. The house was perfect for us. It was very clean and comfortable. The location was the best. Close to restaurants and activities but on a quiet strip of beach. We have been coming here around 30 years.

Our trip lasted 7 days. The house was spacious and as advertised, easily sleeps 14. The view and distance to the beach were perfect. My only complaint has to do with the ugly decks. There are 2. They are in (exceptionally) bad shape. The wood looks to be original and needs some work. Also, basically no outdoor furnishing. Horrible grills too. I'm surprised this hasn't been addressed.

The house was clean and attractive and 14 family members fit very well. The location was absolutely perfect. The water was very few steps from the house. So convenient. We would absolutely choose to rent it again.

Beautiful right on beach with a nice big deck & grills! However, there are items inside the house that need updating/replaced. WAY too much silk greenery, decor needs to be more "beachy", upstairs bedroom with king bed was so soft the person could not get good sleep, couches are really bad and need replaced. We will not return.

Fantastic location. Beach was great. Found a beach chair vendor that really helped. House is tired. Needs some outdoor general maintenance (paint) and improved outdoor furniture. Had several issues that were fixed within a day or two by the maintenance/management company. Real Joy was responsive, just not sure why it was not corrected before I arrived. However the broken dishwasher took almost a week to get replaced for some reason. I told the management company about my health issues before I arrived and when I arrived the house was very clean except for the leaking and rusted out garbage disposal. It was corrected/replaced within 24hrs. A/C was great and beds were comfortable. Hardwood floors were great. Overall I would stay again, especially if it is refreshed.

cockroaches in the kitchen area, and one upstairs bedroom. kitchen area was terrible picked up a draining pan and it had tens of baby cockroach on it spoiled our Easter dinner. Everything else was fine.

Absolutely loved the location and spaciousness of the property! Kitchen was well stocked and everything was very clean. I would suggest bringing beach chairs and towels, as I found it slightly odd that a house directly on the sand doesn’t have it available but that is their policy, so be sure to pack some of your own. I really enjoyed our stay and loved how close we were to grocery stores, eateries and more. I will absolutely be back. The vacation rental company was super pleasant to deal with and very professional!

You really cant beat the location. The views are amazing. The house needed some work… the outside seating is less than subpar. No beach chairs. The grill I wouldn’t recommend using. Kitchen well equipped. Here are some tips if you stay here: def buy more toilet paper. No back up. No beach towels or chairs. If you are not the early riser don’t sleep downstairs. You will hear everything. Small ants in kitchen. Only saw once. House was clean. Despite previous reviews. Overall the furniture needs to be really updated but we had a great New Years. Used a rental Company for beach chairs and bonfire. No major issues and memories forever

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The location is a 5/5, but the house itself is a 3/5. The house needs some updating and one bed frame was broke upon arrival and the tv in master was not working. It was also tough because simple things like pot holders, kitchen towels and measuring cups were missing/not able to be located.

The house has an excellent location with a beautiful view of the beach and ocean. The only due fall is you can’t really enjoy from the deck or balcony. The chairs they have are hard plastic and short so you can not see out over the railing….(we as a group love sitting out on the deck and listening to the ocean) The house is a little dated. The ceiling fans also need some attention, the dust on them was really heavy. The carpet definitely needs a good cleaning and the windows on the front of the house also could use a good cleaning there were bugs piled in the corners of the windows. Just not something I enjoyed looking at every time I went up and down the stairs. But overall we all loved this house. Also I’m sure this is no control on your part but the trash was never picked up the entire time we were there. It was already full the day we arrived.

Everything is good. Can’t beat the location.

This was our 3rd year in a row at this home. Not sure what has changed, but the property seems to be getting run down. We arrived on Saturday at 4:00PM to find a home that had not been cleaned, all 14 of us had to go find something to do for an additional 1.5 hours, the property management team did extend us a gift card for our trouble. We pulled the couch out to see the TV and there was wrapping papers and food on the floor and windows, the ceiling fan in the living area has black dust accumulated. The home just looked run down. Overall, this is a beautiful home and one that we have enjoyed for many years, we hope that the standards are once again raised to meet expectations of at least those of us who have been in this house many times, with 2 years spent at its sister house next door.

We enjoyed our stay at the house, perfect location, close to beach and far enough away from all the crowds, had some minor problems that was taken care of quickly except needing new stove, some deep cleaning needed, portalable fans are dirty. Thank you!

Booked this beach front house to celebrate a few things within our family, (July 4th, 2 birthdays and a retirement). We were very excited upon check-in but quickly got a rude awakening when we entered the unit and started the set up the room situation for everyone. The house is quite dated and not worth the money that is demanded. It certainly benefits from the current market and being directly on the beach. Don't expect any level of luxury here. It is a good enough house, though. With that being said...unfortunately, the entire unit was not properly cleaned, or barely cleaned at all, from the previous tenants. We have several pictures to prove this as fact. The house had a distinct musty smell, the bathrooms were dirty, sand in showers/tubs, candy wrappers on floors in bedrooms, candy that was stuck to carpet in a couple of places, used Q-tips and hair in bathrooms, deck was very sandy and disheveled, the windows and sliding glass doors were smeared with hand prints and the furniture in the house was sandy and dirty. The refrigerator was sticky and had not been even wiped down. We found black hairs in the freezer as well...not sure how, but it was there. We were honestly afraid to touch anything initially. We called the customer service number for RealJoy and spoke with a man named Logan. He was very attentive and made sure to get a cleaning crew over to the house relatively quickly...within an hour and a half. Unfortunately, when they left we had to run to Wal-Mart to buy Clorox wipes because the cleaners did another poor job. After we called again, a different crew came the next morning. We spoke with that cleaning crew, whom coincidentally, knew the other cleaning crew and legitimized our poor experience. This crew did a good job and left the house is as good of a place as it could be. Lastly, the toilet in the upstairs guest bedroom was not working properly and needed an entirely new flushing repair kit. With all that said, we did have a great week but certainly wished that we had not lost a day and a half of vacation because we ourselves had to thoroughly clean the house before it was "professionally" cleaned and before we felt comfortable enough to even sit on the furniture. It did make our own beds and couches feel amazing when we returned to our own homes, though. OVERALL, it was a good house directly on the beach, which was great, but the value was just not there.

Had a wonderful time. The house was nice with lots of room. Had a garbage disposal problem, it was handled quickly and efficiently.

Location was far enough away to be out of the major tourist traffic, but close enough to not have to drive far, (4 miles from Pier Park). House was not deep cleaned, ie: food under the bed, stains in the carpet. Furniture could use some upgrades, but we had a wonderful time and would do again. Management was great to work through, very prompt response to any questions.

House wasn’t as clean as I expected with covid cleaning processes in place. It smelled musty when we entered and there was trash left under the bed in the master (I found when looking for a dropped pacifier!) The house itself is off a busy road which made me a little nervous when leaving with the kiddos but we just held their hands until they were in the car and it was fine. Location to the beach was amazing and the views excellent! Would definitely consider staying here again.

We loved the location of this home, far enough away from large condos such that beach was not crowded but close enough for short trip to tourist areas. The home offers great beach views and access so when the weather wasn't the best, we could still enjoy the scenery. Also highly recommend Sunnyside Grill for a nearby breakfast (We did take out).

House is as listed. Clean and picture perfect location! Would definitely stay here again and again!

A-MAZ-ING! House was awesome, right on the white sand clean beach! Better than expected. Only issue we had was we couldn’t find the broom. We stayed eight days and would have stayed longer if we were able. Kids, ages 3-15, had a blast. There is a beach access right next to it but we rarely noticed the people coming and going so don’t let that deter you from staying here! We will definitely rent again next time we go to Florida.

The home is located directly in the beach, steps from the sand, as advertised. It was spacious and suited our needs for a group of 8 adults. The home was clean, but it could use a deep cleaning as far as the carpets go and really needs some updating on the decor. Overall, Oceanspray was a great deal due to the spaciousness and quiet location on the beach. I would recommend the home to others. The rental company was very responsive and sent many updates before our stay.

Solid

Enjoyed our stay. No major issues and overall a good place for a beach vaca. Great location on the beach but wish the house was not right next to the public beach walkway. Also, would have been better if the upstairs deck had furniture. Everything else was good. Lots of dishes and things to help make the stay nice. Lots of room for everyone.

Property was in the perfect location, right on the beach. Lovely house, nice and big and the master bedroom was huge. The view from the upstairs balcony was amazing. Would rent this place again with family traveling into the US..

We have stayed at these 2 adjacent houses for the last 3 years. Great quiet location for small children. Very few minor problems which were corrected quickly. We will be back!

Very good. Water pump makes a knocking sound We would come again!

This is a great house! It is very clean and spacious. The upstairs master suite has fantastic views of the ocean and a spacious balcony. The house is right on the beach...just go down the back steps and walk out onto the sand. I liked hearing the surf from the open windows. The beach is beautiful and not crowded. I liked being a little ways away from the crowds at Panama City Beach. When we were there, many restaurants in the area where closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we could still find places to eat. Overall, we loved this house and I would highly recommend it as a great place to stay for a beach vacation.
