Jun 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Property, Great Location My hubby and I had an awesome trip. Our kids backed out on us last minute and we had the 3BR place to ourselves and it was so fun. The home was comfortable, the beach was AMAZING and is just a 3 minute drive down the road. The home is in a VERY nice neighborhood with an awesome pool and workout area. My hubby needs high speed internet and theirs was great for his work!! We also enjoyed using the bikes that were provided. We had a couple of glitches but they were dealt with and we felt heard on all of it. Here are the small issues: 1. The previous tenants had filled the trash to the brim and the subdivision did not pick it up even though it was on the street. However, the management company came and got it promptly!! 2. The AC controller went off for a bit and the management company was about to bring us a fan until it could be investigated, but thankfully it came back on. 3. The TV connection does not work well on the channels, but we played card games instead. More quality human time anyway!! 4. The master shower had a good bit of mold in it. Their home cleaners charge $350 to clean the property and should really have removed it for the price. SHAME ON THEM!! But the management company is taking care of that as well. ALl in all we had a GREAT time and would stay here again. Realjoy was awesome to work with. : ) ##### Brenda S. Stayed 6 nights in May 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ashley S., TN Oct 24, 2022 Liked: Location Disliked: Check-in #### Definitely Disappointing We have stayed in this area 2-3x per year for the last 12 years, & always use VRBO. We have never been disappointed until this stay. We simply would not stay here again. We were so uncomfortable that we even asked for a partial refund so that we could move to a different property, as to not be uncomfortable for a two week trip. We were told no, as it's against the rental agreement. The furniture is extremely uncomfortable. This can be a to each their own thing, but it goes beyond that, for example the dining chairs have no seat cushion left to the point of having large dips. The bed is rock hard. They did bring us a mattress topper & this was much appreciated. The sheets on the bed were dirty & we had to request more because there are no extra sheets or pillows in the home. When we arrived after a long day it was very hot inside, there was no ice, and the ice maker did not work. So, no cold beverage. The ice maker was never fixed during our two week stay. The tv remote no longer worked, We replaced the batteries, this did not help. The property manager did finally replace the remote after several days. The house is extremely bare bones for the price. We were there two weeks and I had to buy hangers to hang up our clothes, there are none, pillows because they were so uncomfortable, an extra blanket, Tupperware, a hair dryer... lots of things that are typically staples at a nice home in this price range. The home is very rough around the edges, needs some attention. We love this neighborhood & would absolutely stay in the neighborhood again but we would not stay at this home again. We did an additional week at a different location in the area, managed by a different company, and the whole process from before check-in to check-out was a dream easy. So having the two experiences back to back, we also would not stay in property managed by RealJoy again either. I never leave bad reviews, things happen, & we typically expect some hiccups & don't mind. This was just not a good experience. ##### Ashley S.

The only negative is that there is not direct beach access and parking is limited. If you get up early enough you will not have a problem. We would come back to this property for sure. ##### Sean H.

The community was beautiful and very quiet and peaceful. The pool area was picturesque. The home was comfortable. The screened in porch was a nice bonus. The bed was very comfortable. I think the only thing I noticed and it was not a big deal was that there were some signs of wear to the property. It could use some freshening up but honestly who really cares? It was such a great place to stay! My husband even saw deer eating lily pads when he walked on the neighborhood boardwalk. It is right down the street from Topsail National park and the beach there is one of the prettiest I have ever seen! It was a great stay! Thank you! ##### Lisa M.

The neighborhood pool was beautiful and never crowded. We were disappointed that the ice maker didn't work and there was no cutting board in the kitchen.

May 30, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Surfin Turtle Beach Trip I loved the open design of the house. Bedrooms in the back were quiet for folks who did not want to stay up late nights. Yet others could enjoy themselves. The floors need some attention. They were generally filthy. Those of us who kick off our shoes noticed how black our feet got walking on the floors. It was like going barefoot in a Jiffy Mart! The chairs around the dining table need to be thrown out. The bottom cushions are gone. You sit in them and you sink 8 inches into a hole. Time to let these go and get something else. We did appreciate having a table that could fit everyone for every meal. Loved the location. Lots to do. Topsail State Park is a real treasure!! The property managers for the house were top notch, very professional and helpful. Thanks again. ##### Mark F.

Aug 7, 2020 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Disappointed First the neighborhood is perfect. Pool area very enjoyable. Due to the state of things right now had been waiting a long time to get out and upon arrival was very disappointed. Unit was not clean and smelling fresh when walked in. Upon entering counters where not clean well (kitchen), sink was dirty (look like paint was dumped) , top bedding was dirty and dog hair everywhere, couch, top and between sheets. I have allergies so we specifically look to book property with no pets. Toilets did not work properly which based on previous reviews I believe this has been mentioned before. Definitely no Covid Cleaning which Real Joy advertises. Called property and they had cleaning staff come out the following day. Might add the cleaning staff were great and apologetic. Following that things were okay but certainly did not receive a luxury experience based on what we paid for stay and what was advertised and expected. ##### Patricia B.

Jun 9, 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Mixed feelings Open and honest review to assist future vacationers....Cypress Dunes is a very nice quiet gated community - there are many lots still empty but we experienced no construction in June '20. Pool is wonderful...we often had the space to ourselves...very clean and well maintained. Easy beach access less than 2-3 minutes drive also easy access to groceries stores and Gulf Place. The property itself is very well built...and nicly situated with finished properties either side. However, it does need some TLC.....exterior paint peeling and the screened in porch is only now 85% screened as this needs to be repaired. Inside is spacious and tall ceilings lends further to this...now the not quite as good....ice maker does not work (still as noted on previous review)...most thinks are provided for in the kitchen but a mixed bag of equipment...no cookie sheets for baking. Furniture is starting to show age and does not really fit spaces well...I think people move it around hence why hardwoods in living room are scratched and scuffed. Interior paint is showing its age and has been touched up relatively poorly rather than repainting whole walls if not rooms. We had several light-bulbs out and batteries in some remotes were dead. For some reasons 2 of the closets are locked for owners use...this house is not big in bedroom closet space to begin with...so this is really annoying particularly in the master! To top it off for those of you who remember CRT tube TV's the master has a 15-20 year old Toshiba.....for the sake of $250 at the local Walmart (very convenient 1 mile away) they could provide a 40" + 1080P LCD/LED of any brand. Mattress in the Master bed is firm and not comfy....did not try the others but our kids did not complain so assume these are softer. So in summary nice area....nice sub division...great pool area...tennis...bikes provided....pretty house with great potential BUT needs some TLC and investment to bring up to 4 or 5\*..... ##### Steve H.
