Another great week at Okaloosa for our family. Good seafood, beautiful sunsets & lots of relaxing doing nothing. 501 is a wonderful place to stay, very comfortable and nicely decorated. Can't beleive the week went by so quickly. Now time to return to the cold winter weather in Illinois. We rented thru the owner after finding the condo on VRBO.com. Having been to the Destin area for many years and staying in various condos in the area we have found we prefer staying in Destin West.

Thank you !! We had a great time and will definitely be back. Your condo is outstanding, the view is magnificent. We spent so much time in the evening just watching the beach, weddings, waves, etc. I have never enjoyed a vacation so much. I would love to have you decorate my home, this place is beautiful. We brought our two kids and one friend. They had a great time. We enjoyed the beach every day and the girls loved the pool, too. My son met four or five friends and played with them at the beach and the pool. The weather was great, too. Thanks again for this wonderful place to stay. We had a great time. "Here's to the Beach"

We loved our vacation in your condo! Beachfront view is great with a 15 month old with early bedtimes and naps. We still got to enjoy the view of the beach even when we couldn't actually go out. Layout is great. We felt comfortable our entire stay. Thanks for sharing your home with us! Love Okaloosa Island and Destin/Fort Walton.

Marcy - we had an awesome time on our family vacation last week. The condo was perfect! One of the BEST vrbo condos we've ever stayed in. It was very clean and we had tons of space for our family of 4. It was SO easy to go to the beach and pool. We also LOVED the Ramada's pool next door that the complex is able to use. The lazy river was very nice and it was just a short walk over the walkway to get to it. The view was the best - exactly what we were looking for. We spent a lot of time on the balcony and ate many meals out there overlooking the Gulf. We drove into Destin to eat at Louisiana Lagniappe one evening and it was an awesome meal! We loved the location on Okalossa Island which was quiet and relaxing. We'd love to come back again! Thanks! Debbie Gregg

Wow! We shared the condo with another family for the 4th of July week in 2006. We got to see Ft. Walton's, and Destin's fireworks. The view was breathtakingly beautiful, even as I washed the dishes! It was close to the Boardwalk where we ate great dinners at Floyd's, The Crab Shack and Black Pearl. It was definitely a vacation to remember and I would love to return one day.
