  Everything about our stay was perfect. The condo was beautifully decorated, clean, and well stocked. Location is awesome. Away from the crowds of Destin but a five to ten minute drive to any activity you wish to partake in. Views were great, beach emaculate, and really nothing we could possibly complain about. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return next year!

  I read a lot of reviews on VRBO, so I thought it appropriate for me to share as well for our trip. Location- Great location with the complex being close to grocery stores, convience stores, gift shops restaurants and is only a short dirve to Destin. Kitchen- The kitchen is well equipped down to the expresso maker and the convection oven. We even used the crockpot during our stay. Bathrooms - Both bathrooms are spacious and nice. The master bath had small walk-in closet, double vanities, large jacuzzi tub and a separate walk-in shower that was terriffic after a day of fishing or lounging at the beach. Bedrooms - The beds were very comfortable and all three rooms have flatscreen TVs. Bedrooms are a little tight on space, but didn't make a difference as we were always on the go. Master Bedroom did not have any dressers, but there is a closet just inside the bathroom with adequate space. Washer/Dryer- Full-size!! Balcony- Very large and peaceful, espcially for morning coffee. This is an oceanview, not oceanfront unit, but was more than perfect for us. There were a couple minor issues in the unit when we arrived, but the owner was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was very responsive and timely to all corresponendence. Payment was very easy. Overall, we had a fabulous week!!

  My group of friends and I arrived to a clean and well supplied Condo. It is on the top floor and has a pretty good view of the water from the patio. The Condo is nice, and it had everything we needed to cook large meals and serve them. The kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms are nice and there are a total of 4 flatscreen tvs for the times when the weather doesn't cooperate. The place is generally quiet, we never heard any other units, but the trash chute is directly across the hall from the unit, so there can be some noise from that, but when you are cleaning up for departure, you will appreciate it's location. Over all I was pleased with the stay and I will consider staying there again.

  Your condo exceeded our expectations while visiting Fort Walton Beach for my cousin's wedding! It was so beautiful, comfortable, convenient to shops, dining, etc...the staff were all so kind and helpful and your Unit was very clean upon arrival, it had everything we needed for a relaxing/fun vacation! I especially enjoyed drinking my coffee every morning on the large balcony with beautiful views of the Ocean and Bay. Michele, thank you very much for being so accommodating, and prompt with your responses to all of my questions/concerns. I look forward to our next beach vacation and staying at Azure, Unit #623!

  Alan and Michelle made us feel very welcome in their home. Everything inside was clean and the furnishings were very upscale. As a cook, the kitchen provided everything I needed to prepare the same meals that I do at home. We stayed for the month of January and didn't once find ourselves wishing we were back in our own home. We are definitely going to be renting again in the future.

  Alan and Michele have truly gone out of their way to ensure the very best for their guests. The condo is spacious and lovely and very nicely decorated with modern furniture and all the amenities one could want (even an expresso machine....a favorite of ours..) . The children loved having a t.v. with dvd player in each room and the condo is even equipped with a large selection of family- friendly dvd's to choose from. All the bedrooms are cozy and beds very comfortable. We also really enjoyed the very large balcony which can seat many. The two heated pools are wonderful. The location is very good, with several shopping centers and restaurants nearby. The Donut Hole Restaurant (in nearby Destin) is a must for breakfast or just dessert anytime. Highly recommend the Seablaster snorkel and dolphin cruise for 3 hours of family fun. You will not wrong with this home away from home. Thank you Alan and Michele for the peaceful retreat!

  This is a beautiful condo with all the amenities. We have stayed at various condos many times on previous trips to the Fort Walton Beach/Destin area, and this ranks as one of the best. We particularly liked the extra-large balcony this unit has and the wonderful views (due to there being windows in the living room area and dining area). Internet access was wonderful as well -- we've had difficulties at other condos in the past, but not here. Also, our kids (ages 6 and 9) loved the bunk bed room! The wall-mounted TVs were fantastic as well. Overall, it was one of the best stays we've had on the Emerald Coast -- and we have been going there for more than 20 years. A big thank you to the owners for their genuine hospitality. They were a pleasure to deal with. :-)

  We recently returned from a fabulous vacation in Fort Walton Beach at Alan and Michele's condo. Although the walk to the beach/pool took a few minutes with 3 small children (it is located on the top level), we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The condo was very clean and was very comfortable. It was decorated very nicely, too. We especially loved the flat screen tvs, DVD players, and free wi-fi connection! Michele was a pleasure to work with - she was prompt and helpful, and was extremely accommodating. We are very grateful to have had such a wonderful and seamless opportunity, especially since was the first time we've ever stayed at a condo. The Azure is beautiful. We loved the pools and kids fountain. The beaches are perfection. The location is close to many fun shopping and dining opportunities. We will definitely return.
