Old enough to retire, but not ready to give up the 'game'! We have the best of all worlds....living and working on a beautiful 19,000 acre lake in Georgia & owning a special getaway place on Okaloosa Island! We manage it ourselves and it's always very clean and neat. And, of course, the view of the Gulf is like no other!! We would love to share it with you! Please give us a call sometime and we'll tell you all about it!

Guestbook comments from the owner
Pat, I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful week we had at the beach in your condo.Your place truly does soothe my soul and brings me peace. You have a little slice of heaven here on earth.
That was our second time and I know there will be a third. It is decorated so cute and everything is so nice. It is a million times better than staying in any hotel!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Little slice of heaven
My husband and I needed a relaxing vacation and that is just what we got at Pat & Ed's condo. It was very quiet, the beach was not crowded and the view from the balcony was sheer paradise. The condo makes you feel instantly at home with beachy decor and pictures. I was surprised by the little things provided such as laundry soap and dishwasher detergent, certain spices in the cabinet, etc. I have always had to bring my own before and did this time just in case but was pleasantly surprised. Terrific local seafood. We got some great fried seafood at Stewby's in Ft. Walton Beach. If you want steamed, go to Gulf Coast Seafood market. Pick out what you want and they will steam it for you. It's much cheaper than going out and you get more plus you can take it back to your condo and eat with a view of the gulf! The Gulfarium was fantastic! I got in the gulf about chest deep one day and enjoyed the company of two sting rays! That was a thrilling experience. I swam with them on an excursion in the Cayman Islands but this was FREE right here in Florida outside the condo! We also saw dolphins several times from our balcony (mostly in the mornings). Thanks, Pat & Ed, for letting us experience Okaloosa Island at your home. Lovely memories. Will be back.
Great R&R!
My husband and I very much enjoyed a relaxing getaway the last week of February at this very comfortable clean condo. The weather was cool but sunny the entire time. The view is wonderful and the sunsets stunning! Lots of good restaurants within a mile or two. We definitely want to return!
Very clean,condo well stocked, very comfortable, fantastic beach view,love the inside decor.
This was our 4th year at Ms.Pats, we absolutely love it here, great beach access, close to Destin,the beach feel of the condo tops it all off .Everything you need to have a vacation in paradise is right here....looking forward to next year already.
The condo has a great view of the ocean, the balcony is perfect for all day relaxing.
The owner Pat was right on top of everything needed. When I arrived I had trouble with the lock on the door -called her, she answered, told me where to get a key immediately. Went in, condo was not clean, called her back, she had someone over in a couple of hours to clean. Of course, it took a while, so basically lost the first afternoon and evening. If you like Shabby Beach Chic, this place is for you! There were decorations and wall art everywhere! Not an inch of wall space left..claustrophobic to me. The condo is in good shape, but furniture old and lumpy, towels threadbare. The outside light is right above the bedroom window, so the bedroom is brighter at night than during the day..The white blinds don't work here.
I was drawn to this unit because it was a corner one. The view out the side was another condo very close, so that was the view there.
I just felt like the condo was a bit overpriced for the age...also, no elevator!
Wonderful Vacation
We truly enjoyed our stay in Pat's condo. The condo was clean and well stocked with everything we needed except food, and the view was amazing! We were very pleased to know that beach service was included. This made it much easier to head down every morning since we didn't have to carry chairs along with us. The owner, Pat, was readily available before the trip to answer any questions that we had. And let me say that the view was absolutely beautiful! The sand...wow! Easily the best and most beautiful sand we have had at any beach! We went out one afternoon on the Southern Star Dolphin Cruise which was wonderful! We also visited the Gulfarium and had a great time watching the shows there. All in all this trip got an A+. I highly recommend this condo and this beach!
Great Vacation
We had a wonderful, relaxing stay. The view from the condo was was absolutely beautiful, and the condo itself was very clean and well-stocked. Having beach service included was a definite bonus, and the sand on Okaloosa Island is amazing!! Pat was very quick to reply to my emails before the stay and was a pleasure to deal with! Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did!
