Exceeded My Expectations

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!

Wonderful Place To Stay

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.

My family and I had the pleasure of staying at the condo for a couple of days. There's nothing better than to have coffee every morning on your private balcony while watching the ocean! The condo was immaculate, with all the amenities of home. Michele made everything so easy - all we had to do was show up. Thank you, Michele and Alan, for sharing your condo with us. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

We had a wonderful time! The Azure complex is beautiful and the view from the condo was great. We enjoyed not only the beach view, but the street and bay views as well. The condo had everything we needed to make it feel like home and it was beautifully decorated! We also loved the location. We always rent a pontoon to go to Crab Island and having that available a couple of minutes from the condo was perfect! Thank you for sharing your home away from home!

Alan and Michele, we had an absolutely wonderful time at your condo. It was the perfect size for our family, we loved having coffee/tea on the balcony every morning, we loved that it was on the 6th floor because we "took the stairs" instead of the elevator every day, we loved the location with a nearby church (with 2 daily morning Masses!) and grocery store and we thoroughly enjoyed the 2 beach chairs/umbrella every day! We made lots of memories and took a few pics. Thank you again!

We had such a wonderful time at your condo this past May and can not wait to go back! It was so beautifully decorated and felt just like home. The 2 younger children LOVED the bunk beds and flat screen TV and my older daughter enjoyed (for the first time on vacation!) her own lovely room. We loved fishing at the pier, watching the sunset at Harry T's, the dueling piano's at Howl at the Moon, and even the vintage shopping! We usually go to Destin, but I think we found a new home in Ft. Walton. Thanks, Michele and Alan! The Rushlow Family

We had a wonderful time staying at your Condo. The whole complex was beautiful, clean, and well managed. The inside of the condo was up to date and VERY comfortable. You were very helpful in answering any questions we had, and very easy to work with. I would certainally recommend your property to friends. The area had alot to do, without being too busy. All in all it was a wonderful vacation!! You must have ordered the perfect weather just for us!

My wife and I along with my 2 boys(17&14) and my parents (late 80's) stayed here in early April, the weather was perfect for the beach or pool everyday. My wife and mom stayed at the beach most of the day only breaking away to hit the outlets, while my boys and I spent time at the beach, pools and down the road on Jet Skies. The Condo was big enough for everyone and the view of the beach along with the view of the intercostal was great. Thank you for a great stay and I plan on coming back. Jeff & JoAnn
Owner response:Dear Jeff & JoAnn & family, Thank you for renting our condo. We look forward to you staying with us in the future.

The condominiums was fantastic. It was so spacious for our whole family. The place was decorated so beautifully. It is definitely a home-away-from-home!! It has new appliances and TVs in each room. There is a washer and dryer in the condo which is nice so you can keep up with the clothes before you have to go home. The beach is beautiful and clean. The sand is so white and the water is so nice and clean and blue. We enjoyed our coffee on the balcony in the morning and our glass of wine on the balcony in the evening. The beach area has a family atmosphere and it is safe for the children to run and play. There are two pools which are gorgeous for your enjoyment as well. The condo is close to everything. I recommend this condo to everyone for a great vacation getaway. My husband hated the beach for years and did not want to .....we usually head to the mountains each summer.......but after our stay ...he wants to come back and stay a week next year. Great place!!!!

Our family visited in early June and the place was incredibly comfortable. The condo is very spacious, beautifully decorated and the patio is lovely. A perfect place to relax! From the balcony, the beach with its crystal clear water is to the left and the bay is to the right. There was a firework show over the bay the night before we left. The location of the condo is perfect because you really feel like no one else is around. This brought such a sense of peace and relaxation to us. The beach was perfect and when the kids were ready for the pool, there were 2 large salt water pools and a splash area that the kids loved to play in. The temperature was perfect! The place is a very short drive from Destin, shopping at the outlet mall and many places to eat. Perfect spot for a very relaxing, yet fun filled time away from home. My family would strongly recommend this fabulous place to others. Thank you to the Day family. We loved our vacation and look forward to returning to Azure.

This condo is a lovely and peaceful place. The property is well maintained, and the pools are beautiful. The balcony has a gorgeous view of both the beach and the bay, and the city lights at night. You can also catch the sunset! We evacuated to this condo for Hurricane Gustav, and we could not have been more blessed. All the bedrooms are comfortable, the bathrooms are nice and roomy, and the kitchen and living areas are large and well furnished. The balcony area is almost as large as the living room, and has a large table and chairs for gathering and eating meals together with the sound of the waves in the background. Anyone looking for a nice family place to stay, with awesome beaches and pool/hottub facilities would be glad they found this treasure! We will be visiting often!
Owner response:It was our pleasure to have you and we will look forward to having you stay in the future!

Our family loves to go to the beach!! We tend to be beach bums the whole time while on vacation. This condo was WONDERFUL for us beach bums! We felt as if we were staying in a fancy hotel. So many little things helped us to relax - Big Fluffy towels in the master bath- Husband and Wife sinks- and a really comfortable king size bed! That was just the little things for my husband and I to enjoy. So many other things to enjoy through out the condo. The kids loved the bunkbeds! The big balcony was great--our kids actually made a fort one day while waiting for lunch! The dinning room table was big enough for us all to sit and eat our meals. The living room had very comfortable sofas to relax on and catch a movie or the news. We had 2 adults 1 teenage and 4 children(8yrs, 5yrs 2yrs and 3months) all staying in this condo-And we didn't even use the sofa bed! There was plenty of more sleeping room to be used:) Azure was a VERY FAMILY FRIENDLY place to stay. One word to define the pool area- AWESOME! A big thank you goes to the Day family-We are so very blessed to have rented the condo from you!! May God Bless you with many more happy renters!
