Owner Info
Joy Ford
Year Purchased: 2018
About the owner: Our family has lived in Central Florida almost our whole lives. Lou was born in Florida and Joy in Ohio. With the energy of our two teenaged sons, our family is always enjoying adventures. We love the variety of Florida and the hidden treasures of its natural beauty and history. One such treasure is Ponce Inlet.
Why this property? For years Lou has wanted our family to have a beach property of our own, and in 2018, through a variety of circumstances, his dream became a reality. After a little work, creativity, and prayer, our family now owns our own little piece of paradise. With gorgeous views from the top floor of Southpoint Condominiums, unit 705 has a fresh ocean blue color scheme and welcomes guests to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of our little paradise.

Amazing Condo
We enjoyed our stay. This was our 2nd year in this beach front building and it's the absolute BEST location!! Easy access to the beach, no wait on elevators, quiet complex, away from the hustle and bustle of Daytona, but close enough to drive for favorite eating spots!! The only thing that was rather aggravating this year was the construction going on. They took up 3/4 of the parking deck, so finding parking spots after going out to eat was somewhat annoying. Televisions are not SMART tv's, so no neflix available. We only turned the tv on once during our 7 day stay, so we didn't even realize it until the last day when it was too rainy to get out on the beach. The ice maker didn't work, so we did have to buy bags of ice everyday. Even with these issues, I would definitely book again!! Joy, the owner, was accessible by phone anytime we had a question. We will be back!!

Hi, I'm so glad you had good weather most of the time and enjoyed your stay on the top floor of beautiful Southpoint in Ponce Inlet.The condo association will be closing our part of the building beginning Nov. 1 for 5 or 6 months to install new windows and walkways. During that closed time, after they finish with our particular unit, we have plans to do several upgrades. By the time you visit again, I think all of your dreams of ice and technology will come true!So glad to have met you! Joy
TIME OF OUR LIVES

Atlantic side condo
Did day trips, Ponce Lighthouse, Kennedy Space Center, Blue Springs Park, World of Golf, St Augustine, Daytona Speedway. Best Restaurant, Racing North Turn, breakfast -Cracked Egg. Condo was clean, great view, nice beach, smaller than we are accustomed to, but worked out for the 4 of us. Would suggest one more comfort chair. Great place!

Thank you. We welcome you again in the future.
Staying here was the most relaxing getaway I have ever experienced!
The location was outside of the hustle of the "real world" but close enough to enjoy restaurants and those forgotten necessities that require a quick trip to Publix. Listening to the roar of the ocean waves breaking on shore and watching the sunrise from a private balcony over looking the ocean was magnificent! My husband and I struggle to get away from work and responsibilities, but finding this beachfront condo only one hour outside of Orlando will make taking short trips very likely to show up on our busy calendars in the future. Everything needed for the couple or family is provided. A kitchen with all the necessities to cook, dvds for the family, and ALL the classic games needed to provide indoor entertainment. This was the perfect place to enjoy our 30th Wedding Anniversary!

Perfect beach condo for relaxing or playing!
The location is amazing! You can easily ride a bike on the beach or even walk to an awesome beach front restaurant, a beach front park/inlet with dolphins and manatee, even see dolphins and so many beautiful birds from the balcony. The inside is meticulously clean and a beautiful space to relax with a romantic master & games/DVD player for the kids. Boogie board or sunbathe in front of the natural dunes which sometimes provide a nest for sea turtles! The kitchen is so bright and convenient to prepare food with a view of the Atlantic. No matter what activity you choose, you can enjoy the gorgeous view, even star-gazing at night. Right across the street you can walk or bikeride to the intercoastal to watch the sunset and boats go by, or even watch from the west balcony. We ALWAYS are thankful to be able to enjoy staying at this lovely condo.

Beach Vacation
Our family decided to take a last minute beach vacation and we were lucky to come across this condo. It was stocked with everything we needed including beach chairs and an umbrella. The unit was exceptionally clean and updated and the owner even went above and beyond to make sure our toddler had a safe place to sleep. I would definitely recommend this condo and plan to visit Joy’s condo again in the future.

Perfect place for great views and relaxation
The condo and location were great. The beach views were incredible. The beach was right outside the condo very convent. The pool was great as well. Everything we needed was in the condo beach chairs/toys etc. The condo was very clean and just the right size. I really enjoyed listening and watching the waves crash from the balcony. The sun reflecting off the beach was stunning. I highly recommend this condo. I can’t wait to go back for another visit.

Amazing Condo!
Joy’s Condo was absolutely amazing! My girlfriend and I had a great time, her condo provides you with everything you could think of from kitchen appliances to bathroom goods. There is plenty of space for everything. The view of the ocean was outstanding. Joy was also great at checking in with us and made sure we had everything we needed! We plan to come back! She provides you with great recommendations if needed as well! Thank you so much Joy!

Thank you for the detailed review. I'm sure it will help others. May God direct your paths and protect you on your way home today and always.
perfect for our family, on the beach, spacious condo, everything you need supplied
This was the perfect place for our family of 5. With our 3 small kids, my husband & I enjoyed the soft sand, playing in the ocean, hiking the Ponce de Leon lighthouse, strolling the beach & watching the sea turtle's nests each evening. Joy's place is in a perfect location. She has everything you'd need to cook meals in the kitchen, a dishwasher and washer/dryer also came in handy. The beds are so comfy. The kids liked the cable tv and beach toys! We watched dolphins from the balcony each morning!! Truly a gift from God. The pictures are exactly what the condo looks like. I hope we can stay again!! Thanks Joy!!!

Thank you for the details in your review. I'm sure they will help others looking to enjoy Ponce Inlet with small children. May God bless you always! Joy
Perfect ocean view condo!
We loved our stay! The decor was beautiful, bright and beachy! The ocean view was perfect (we would watch the dolphins each morning from the balcony). The quiet beach location was perfect for our family, yet it was close enough to anything we may want to do. The full kitchen was helpful since we have picky eaters and having cable on the tv helped distract the kids while I was making dinner! The beds were firm and we felt very at home! Thank you for a great getaway!

Thoroughly perfect beach condo!!
The most well-stocked kitchen ever...even had a slow cooker, storage containers, and essential staples like salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, etc. Also, the condo had important beach items like towels, umbrella, chairs, and boogie boards. I would recommend this condo and will rent again if I return to Ponce Inlet.

Peaceful Getaway
My idea of a perfect beach vacation is to relax and get away from all the busyness of our everyday lives. This lovely condo offers just that, with all the comforts of home without all the cares. Ponce Inlet has well been known as a quiet, less crowded no drive beach. Here you can walk for miles on the wide sand beaches, take in the views from your seventh floor balcony or simply enjoy the very comfortable surroundings of the well appointed condo. So take some time and treat yourself to a much needed break at this hidden treasure in Ponce Inlet!

Top Notch Accomodations
Joy's condo is one of the most beautiful and well-maintained lodging I've been in. We stay at the beach a lot and this pristine condo has a superior layout, awesome views, beautiful Furnishings, the most comfortable beds, and is meticulously cleaned & maintained. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better option to stay at the beach than this one! If you like to always have a great View, this is your place because you can see the beach wherever you are even when you're inside cooking or dressing. Location is excellent! We highly recommend this vacation sanctuary.

Perfect Beach Condo
This condo was perfect for our trip to the beach. The view from the balcony is a stunning look at the ocean. We had plenty of room for four people. All the extras were included like beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards. Also we had everything we needed for cooking, relaxing and entertaining. The location was ideal! We were close to restaurants and shops, but far from the crazy Daytona traffic and tourist traps. I highly recommend this condo!

Perfect Beach Get Away!
My wife and I checked into this beach condo and instantly felt at home. The entire place with immaculately clean and welcoming. We instantly went to check out the master bedroom and were in awe as we opened the curtains and overlooked the gorgeous beach. Every day my wife and I loved waking up and opening the curtain to natural light flooding the entire room. We often ate our meals on the back balcony overlooking the crashing waves or the sunset.From the moment we got into the condo it was evident that the owners did everything they could to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. We found a binder full of instructions on how to turn on the TVs, contact information, as well as suggestions for local restaurants.Each day that we went to the beach we noticed that the beach was not nearly as busy as most of the beaches we had visited. More importantly it only took a minute from our front door to access the beach. We were under an umbrella with our toes in the sand and reading our favorite books in no time.What more could you want? This was definitely a memorable experience for my our family we would definitely recommend this place to everyone!

705 has been our Feb. home for the past 6 years and we love it!
Everything is great! We appreciate the improvements you have made. The only thing that might be improved is the cookware. We love the location and our returning neighbors on the seventh floor. So many happy memories as we have been coming to South Point for nearly 2o years. We hope we will be able to continue to stay in 705 for many more years! Sincerely John and Wendy Bubak
