BEACH/OCEAN FRONT CONDO W/ WRAP-AROUND BALCONY
Your Perfect 180º Beach View: The View from this 4th floor unit is breathtaking. Having the advantage of a corner unit, you can see all the way down to the inter-coastal waterway without any buildings blocking your view. This vacation rental is perfect for everyone in your group. If you love the beach, you are just steps away to sun, surf, swim, or walk on the beautiful beaches of Okaloosa Island. If you prefer to relax without all the sand, you can enjoy the beach atmosphere without leaving the balcony. This 4th floor unit is the perfect height for a gorgeous view and is low enough to hear the crashing waves that lull you into total relaxation! My favorite thing to do is to bring a good book and read, nap, sun, & relax on the balcony. I feel like I am on the beach, with all the conveniences of home just a step away. With Wi-Fi, I can even bring my laptop out with me. A convenience store & post office is less than a half a mile away and a sidewalk is provided on one side of the street for walkers and runners.

My family and I waited until last minute to book our trip due to the fact of possibly having to cancel last minute due to my grandmothers illness. After spending hours contacting other owners via email and phone we were unsuccessful. Late Thursday night we came across Connie's condo. She was extremely nice and helpful over the phone. We arrived at Ft. Walton mid afternoon Saturday and we were all amazed at the beauty of this particular unit. My family and I have been traveling to various beach locations each year. This unit I can honestly say has been one of our favorites! Everything was clean and the furniture was very comfortable! We will definitely recommend this unit to any family and friends who decide to vacation at Ft. Walton.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Connie's condo was just lovely. Tastefully decorated, clean and spacious for just the two of us. The corner unit and bar height chairs made time spent on the balcony just perfect. Having the Keurig coffee maker available was a great bonus! The only two things we wish were different. The first is that there is no covered parking. This made packing the car in the rain a messy hassle. The other is that the mattress in the master bedroom was in pretty bad shape. A foam topper had been added, but the dips in the mattress were deep enough that we resorted to one of us sleeping in the guest room so the other could sleep in the middle of the bed. Let me say we shared this with Connie already and she seems willing to address this issue. Otherwise, it was a wonderful condo on a beautiful beachfront location.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for your complimentary review. I always ask my guest for any improvements or conveniences I need to add and appreciate your feedback. This is the first and only complaint I have received on the mattress. I will be sure to look into it, inquire further with my guest, and make any necessary changes.

We sold our house and moved shortly before our visit to Connie's Condo, and we were hoping for a peaceful and restful retreat to decrease our mounting stress levels. Our experience was everything we were hoping for and more. The beach was family-friendly, and the condo was well-equipped to make healthy, home-cooked meals. The condo was cozy, and we were able to relax to the best entertainment of all.......the wonderful view of the gulf and the sound of waves. We normally cannot sleep away from our own home, but we all slept each night peacefully. The master bed was actually as comfortable as our own bed! Walking on the beach was lovely, as was lounging on the balcony reading and watching the dolphins. This vacation was the answer the our desperate need for rest and balance.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

This condo had everything we wanted. It's a great size and well kept with a prime view from the fourth floor balcony which was large enough to accomodate a lounge chair as well as a bistro set with high chairs allowing an unobstructed view of the beach. There's everything you need for the beach and kitchen. Large master bedroom widows provide a nice view of the beach as well as balcony access. The condo is very close to the shore and the crashing waves provide constant background music. Connie is attentive and great to rent from. The only thing some might be disappointed in is the pool which is mediocre, but if you're there for relaxing at the beach, this is definately a 10!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We just want to Thank You for sharing your Beach Condo with us, it was the perfect place to stay. We had a very nice time and it really did feel like "a home away from home". From the moment we stepped inside the front door we knew our vacation would be perfect. Connie is great to work with, the condo is very clean & maintained very well. Not only a nice flat screen in living room, but new drapes in living room & master bedroom. The carpeting in the bedrooms was very new & soft. The views from the condo & balcony were amazing. One morning we were entertained by at least a dozen dolphins right in front of the condo while having our coffee. We will be back again in the future!Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

We really enjoyed our week long stay Ft. Walton Beach in this property. The condo was very comfortable and fit our family of 6 pretty well. The condo had everything we needed and made for a very relaxing vacation. The location is terrific. When we needed to, we could get out to most eating, grocery and shops very quickly and easily. Really enjoyed the beach. It seemed to be a very family oriented location and I'm sure we'll try to come back.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

This was our first experience in Fort Walton Beach and it won't be our last. We found the condo to be just as described - only better because the owner had installed a new flat screen TV in the living room! The owner was wonderful. Very helpful. We would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

This condo is comfortable and relaxing. The decor follows the colors of nature and the condo is well-maintained. We especially like this corner property because the ocean view extends across the front bedroom as well as the living room, and the 4th floor patio is a great vantage point. The owner is friendly and responsive and concerned for renters' comfort. Emerald Towers West is away from the bustle of Destin, but close enough to drive there for a meal, shopping, or miniature golf. The nearby grocery is convenient for stocking the kitchen when cooking in. An outdoor grill is available. The beach itself is clean and beautiful. Come stay here!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Emerald Towers West:
My husband and I have always enjoyed the white sandy beaches and emerald blue waters of Florida. I fell in love with the absolutely breathtaking view from this unit. Okaloosa Island is much more calm and relaxing than the crowds and traffic in Destin. So you can get away from it all and enjoy the serene beaches of Okaloosa Island that is just steps away from your unit or you can drive about 5 miles to Destin to mix with the crowds.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
My favorite spot in this unit is the balcony. I love to read, nap, sun, and just relax listening to the crashing waves. I can enjoy all the beach atmosphere from the convenience of my balcony. With Wi-Fi I can even bring my laptop out there. This corner unit just has a beautiful unobstructed view.
My kids love that they can walk to the Tom Thumb which is less than a half mile away to get snacks or a movie.
My husband loves that he does not need to drive everyone around and can relax or go play golf.
We also love to take walks. We mix it up between serene beach walks and walks on the sidewalk provided on Santa Rosa Boulevard.
If needed, Okaloosa Island also provides a shuttle service.
