30A is a fantastic destination, the beaches are some of the world’s best with sugar white sand and emerald green waters.

The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Not what was advertised
This unit was not what the advertisement and review comments made us to believe. It failed to tell us the unit was on the third floor accessed by two flights of stairs. Would not have stayed there if we knew. Partial view of beach - Not to be seen. Have to lean over the veranda railing to look down the walkway to the beach to see about 10' of beach and shore. Real joy is too concerned about early arrival and late departure - threatened by fines if violated. We arrived on time and left 2 hours early. Portal to communicate with RealJoy is complicated. Have to log in every time you need to access door code, beach access, etc.. Living space is very small. No table to eat meals. Only place to sit and eat is at the bar occupied in the center by the sink. Electric range is old. Control knobs indicating hot, medium, low are worn off. No directions how to use the controls. Burners do not continuously control the desired heat. Interior is crammed with artificial floral arrangements and seaside decor. Limited room to set anything down without having to relocate pots, shells, etc. out of the way. Veranda view is of the parking lot and on the north side of the building. Not very usable. No sun to sit and enjoy the non-existent "partial beach view".. Bedroom was stuffy. Mattress needs badly upgraded. Hallway rug in front of the bathroom is a trip hazard - the sides of rug are curled up. Needs to be replaced.

Fabulous Location
This place was perfect! Right on a very beautiful beach, private, quiet, easy biking distance to several restaurants and shops. We did use the pullout sofa for two teens and the mattress could stand an upgrade. But the rest of the accommodations - the king bed, the bathroom, the kitchen - were all nice, new, well equipped. There's a safe place to store bikes and beach equipment outside on the ground floor and the porch was a great place for shoes and towels. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Excellent Last Minute Getaway
We planned/booked our trip within 12 hours of leaving to head down and had the best experience! Space was small, but perfect size for me, my husband, and our infant. Perfect location to be near Seaside but still away from the hustle! We were unsure about who to use for chair rentals and reached out to several companies - we ended up going with Southern Resort Beach Services and they were incredible. Highly recommend if you are in need of a chair set up!

This is a great property for a true getaway. It has been beautifully updated. We would probably rent a place with a balcony directly overlooking the water next time, though the walk to the beach is just a couple of minutes. We enjoyed the property very much !

Adorable condo !! Steps to beach
Great location, short walk from bakery. Right on the beach with private gate. Gate had been taped open for easier access so management should probably look into that ! Condo was decorated so nice. Had everything we needed. This comfortably slept 2 people. I would not have wanted 4 people there ! Super clean with the exception of a moldy shower curtain ! Overall we enjoyed our stay and would go back!

Perfect beach getaway!
Driftwood Cottage Unit 9 was so comfortable and lovely! We had a view of the Gulf, and everything we needed. It was easy to rent our beach setup for the three days we were there. The entry gate to the beach was tricky, but the management company was responsive and helpful. We plan to return for future trips!

This was a great spot for us. We like to be right on the beach and have chairs set up for us; we had both. There's easy access to great food, and we were also able to cook a few meals. This is a perfect get-away spot for us and we will be returning.
