My husband booked this condo for us, his son and daughter-in-law and our 18mo old grandson to meet for Thanksgiving. Having a ground floor apartment meant that our grandson could go out on the "balcony" without it being too worrisome but the gate was such that we didn't have to worry about him getting out and falling into the pool that was right outside the door. We could leave the doors open, hear the soothing sound of the ocean and relax. The beach was really just on the other side of the pool so this place had it all. The condo was lovely; contained everything we needed and allowed us to have a wonderfully relaxing vacation. I cannot recommend this condo enough. We only used two of the three bedrooms though our grandson liked to play in the small room with the bunk beds; when he's older we'll let him sleep there! Everything was very clean and well maintained. We were close to grocery stores, restaurants and could get anything that we needed or had forgotten. We took a short drive over to the zoo which was lots of fun for our grandson. The description was spot-on. I also want to add that the owner was very accomodating. We arrived several hours earlier than we'd planned and she went home to set a new code so that we could get in sooner. The only problem we had was that the dishwasher was not working and given that this was Thanksgiving, I spent more time washing dishes than I would have like. That said, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Our family had the blessing of visiting Ft. Walton Beach while my husband was there on business for a month. It was such a treat to get to stay in such a lovely condo on the beach! The backyard is 2 swimming pools and a hot tub and it is literally about 100 yards to the ocean itself from the back doors. It was great with our young children to have easy access to the beach! We had a great time, the unit was clean and comfortable and the staff was extremely friendly as well. A shower head broke while we were there and it was fixed the very same day. We would reccomend staying in this condo to anyone!

Owner response:Thank you for the great compliments!! We love to be able to share our condo with others and strive to make it a comfortably and relaxing space. Thank you again and we hope you will come back for a visit soon. Jill

We spent last week at the condo and it was great. There were five of us and we were all comfortable. The location is very convenient, Destin was just a 5 minute drive away. The beach the condo is on was beautiful. I rented the condo last minute and Jill made the reservation process easy! We were in the next day. Thanks so much!

Beach Condo

Date of Stay: 08/14/10 Review Submitted: 08/28/10

We have just returned from a wonderful vacation at this condo in Fort Walton Beach, FL. We had multiple families from TX, AL and PA that stayed in three condos next to each other on the first floor. We could walk right out to the pool and the beach and could even relax in front of the condo with the monitor outside while the kids took a nap. All the beds slept great and the TV and kitchen ficilities were wonderful. Everything to do was within a 15 minute ride and we enjoyed some great shopping and seafood dinners. The water was so crystal clear that we could see the fish in it and the beach is still the wonderful white sand that only the FL Gulf has. I would certainly recommend this condo to anyone wanting a memorable and relaxing vacation.

Owner response:Thank you so much for taking time to give us feedback about our condo. We really appreciate it. You and your family were great renters, you left the condo in really good condition when you left...we love that!!! We hope you will come back for another visit soon!! Thanks again!! Jill

This condo could not have been more perfect if I designed it in my dreams. We had everything we needed. There was nothing inconvenient. We were just steps from the pool and then just a few more to the sand. Four adults and four children stayed for one week and we had plenty of room. We cooked a lot of meals and had the necessary tools and appliances. Would only recommend some dish towels. The covered patio next to the pool was like and extension of the living room. I enjoyed reading out there each evening while drinking my homemade pina colada. It was wonderful having two beach chairs and an umbrella reserved for us each day of our stay with our names. We didn't have to worry about getting out early and saving a spot. It was there until five each evening. The gated grassy area with the grills and pic nic tables were great and we used those a lot. I was also amazed at how sound proof the condo was. I was worried we would be able to hear everyone out on the pool deck while we were inside, but not a sound. Also, I never heard the people above us, either. The dishwasher was even so quiet, we had to put our ear up against it to make sure it was working. I slept wonderfully while I was there. The beds were comfortable and the linens were, too. I don't have a single complaint and we can't wait to return one day soon. Thank so much for your wonderful accommodations. It made for an ideal vacation.

We have stayed in this condo 3 times, including our just completed trip. New ownership has only made it better in that many of the furnishings have been upgraded. Once again it was clean and well maintained and Jill was very helpful and accomodating. We had 8 people this trip and we were all very comfortable. The ground floor access to the pool and beach is biggest draw for us. Arrange your chairs just off your pool side patio and the restroom and fridge are just steps away. Thanks Jill for sharing with us. I'm sure we'll be back.

Owner response:Thank you for taking time to submit your review on our condo. We really appreciate your comments. You were great renters, you left the condo in really good condition when you left...we love that!!! Our hope is that you felt at home and had a great vacation. We hope you will keep us in mind when planning your next visit to Okaloosa Island. Thank you again!! Jill

Thanksgiving weekend 2009

Guest: farmgirl productions (Okawville, Illinois)
Date of Stay: 11/27/09 Review Submitted: 05/17/10

Absolutely beautiful, comfortable place to stay. The only recommendation we made was fixing the locks on the front door so it wasn't so difficult to get in. I'm sure they've fixed that, because they were so reponsive to any questions we had and so detailed in their emails to us. Just loved staying there. Wish we could have stayed longer and enjoyed the amenities more. We were very involved in a local family gathering so only got to the condo to sleep mostly. We will definitely return sometime to just enjoy the area.

Owner response:Thank you so much for your kind words. We fixed the locks after your stay. We ended up changing the knob completely because we were having trouble too. Thank you for letting us know about the problem and we really hope you come back to visit us soon. You were great renters!! Thanks so much! Jill

***NEW OWNERS & NEW DECOR*** We are so excited to have our condo on the Gulf of Mexico...it is a dream come true!!! We have vacationed at Summer Place for the last 6 years and just love the breath taking views and dolphin watching right from the condo. We purchased the condo in October (previously Bailey's on the Beach) and have recently redecorated the condo to put the "Foster Touch" on it. We hope you enjoy the changes and come visit our condo. It is our home away from home. Thank you Tommy & Debbie Foster, Pocahontas Arkansas 2009

We vacationed with another couple and two small children - being so close to everything was great!! Also, we were very impressed with all the extra details including the kitchen accesories, dishes, pots and pans, plenty of towels, linens and the list goes on and on....

Connie: Your condo worked out great for my family during our stay the first week of July. Its location was in the middle of everything. And the first floor access to the condo really worked out well. We had immediate access to both the pool and the beach without worrying about stairs or waiting for an elevator. Thanks for making our vacation so enjoyable.

My family really enjoyed the days we spent at Baileys On The Beach.The Condo was great with 1st floor patio and the few feet to pools and hot tub.It is the best Condo on the Island with easy excess to Beach. We will be back on ower next stay on the Beach. Summer Place with smaller number of units makes it less crowded on the Beach.

Bailey's on the Beach was the perfect vacation spot for my son, my best friend, and me. I was in need of that "Calgon Take Me Away" moment and this filled the bill and beyond. The ground floor level was so convenient. We loved being able to walk off the patio to the heated pool and hot tub, and in just a few more steps have our toes in the luscious sand. Ms. Bailey was a pleasure to work with as we made arrangements for our trip. I would definitely stay there again, and hope to return in the Spring and again next Fall. Cheers! to all.
