Great stay on 30A
This house was great for our party of 12, consisting of three adult couples and six teenagers. Right across from the pool, just a short stroll to the beach and bikeable to Seaside. We had a problem with the AC in the backhouse that the property manager resolved very quickly, and she also quickly replaced a few kitchen staples that were missing. Overall a great stay!

Great trip to Florida
The property was perfect for our large family. It was close to the beach with a pool that was across the street. We were also able to enjoy the fire pit and make s’mores.

Great Location & Good for Large Groups
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Pure Joy and would potentially consider coming back. Pros: - The location to the beach and the community pool was perfect for the senior folks and young kids in our group. - Property management team was responsive and quick to send support when needed. - Water heater and air conditioning worked great. Water pressure in the bathrooms were great as well. - Everyone said their beds/mattresses were comfortable - Ample amount of beach chairs Cons: - The kitchen supplies could use a refresh and update. The plates and bowls looked weathered. The kitchen non-stick pans were in bad condition and not cookable. - Wifi was finicky and often did not work at all. We had to reset the modem and mesh system several times and often it didn't result in it working. - The coach was a nice addition to our group and allowed for family members who wanted more privacy to have a place to escape. Unfortunately, our family members who stayed in the coach house experience bites from bugs within their bed. While not bed bugs, they were small beetle like bugs.

One of the best I’ve stayed in!
Scenic Stays gets a A+ from my family and I. They went out of their way to assist me with the trip at every turn and checked in multiple times during the stay. We encountered a problem with the washing machine but they made arrangements for me to do laundry at another residence they manage. The last night we were there, the A/C in the carriage house was not cooling properly but they immediately had someone come out and look at it. The house itself was a wonderful fit for our family and I will definitely consider staying there again, and using ScenicStays.

Great House and Location
Pure Joy fit all the needs of my family. The walk to the beach was direct and not as crowded and I had thought. Wi-Fi did not work very well during the day but seemed better in the evening. It’s definitely one of the better homes I’ve staying in over the years. I look forward to visiting again.

Great location!
The house is in a great location- close to beach, close to Seaside, & all the things! Plenty of parking, across from community pool! The house is a great size for 10-12 adults. The house does lack some kitchen essentials - wine glasses, cleaning supplies that were supposed to be stocked. The house does come with 12 beach chairs which is awesome! But no bikes (listed in description though), no towels. TV does not connect great to the wifi. WiFi not strong at all

Annual friends and family 30A fun
Loved this property location, fully stocked kitchen with any small appliance you can think of, the quest house was perfect for the grandparents, bikes included, right across from the pool and about 2 easy blocks to the beach! BBQ grill with ectea propane tanks, a fire table with seating for after beach fun. Enough parking for 3-4 card plus a golf cart (not included). The kids loved the bunk room and the parents loved the porches. Bring your own baby gates for the stairs, beach towels and toys. Beach chairs on the patio but bring your own taller camp style chairs. comfy beds, comfy towels and plenty of room for lounging. Close to all things 30a! what a gem! Coming back again next year!

'Pure Joy' was Pure Perfection
This was the perfect place for our party of 10, and there was even room to spare. There was plenty of room for our group of 6 teenage girls and 4 adults. The house had any kitchen utensil we needed, as we cooked most meals there. And the appliances were very nice to use. The living area sectional was extremely comfortable, and the beds were super comfortable with nice linens. The location was great - close to the front of the neighborhood, and right across the street (30A) from beach access. We would walk or bike to the beach. Which, this beach access is dreamy! Not too crowded. I can't say enough good things about this rental and location. I would 100% stay here again.

Spring Break 2023
Pure Joy lived up to its name! We had a great week and our teenage daughters really enjoyed the viper close proximity to the pool, the beach and Seaside. It’s a great location and with lots of amenities. The beach chairs and bikes are a HUGE plus. And the carriage house was ideal for our extra guests. The management team was very quick to respond and address the couple minor issues we had. We would definitely rent this house again!

The most wonderful stay!
Pure Joy was perfect for our three families. Three 18-year old boys stayed in the carriage house and each of the 3 couples stayed in one of the king rooms. Two sisters stayed in the bunk room. The kitchen was super well-equipped with a blender, crockpot, pots, pans, glassware, etc. Everything you could need. Guest services was very attentive. There is some information that I think would be helpful to others: The property came with 5 bikes and 13 (I think) beach chairs. The property also has three spacious covered patios (one is off of a bedroom). Also, we needed to determine the bedroom assignments before we arrived so it would have been helpful for me to know some more details on where the bedrooms were and the bathroom situation. Here is what I can tell you: the room that is called the "Master" is on the third floor and looks like it was once the "crow's nest" of the house. It does not have a door that closes off the bedroom. It has only a half bath - no shower or tub. It has an uncovered balcony. The room in the photos that has a covered porch is on the 2nd floor. It has a very nice bathroom/shower with double vanity. The bunk room is also on the 2nd floor and it has a small bathroom with single pedestal sink and shower. The bunk room actually had full-sized beds on the bottom, and we couldn't tell that by the photo. There is one bedroom on the first floor and it has a nice, large shower with a small pedestal-type sink. I hope this is helpful for others. We had the most magical time there with our boys (and girls).

Great house, very clean, with nice amenities! Great location. A few little things to consider before the next guest comes. There were ants and bugs in the In law house, a loose electrical box in the main house (kitchen), and the bushes need to be trimmed in the driveway. Overall loved the house and the location!!
