There are reasons for the wonderful reviews of this rental. The unit was clean and comfortable; easy to get to and in a quieter area of the beach. Views were spectacular and I loved knowing, because of the inclusion of 2 beach chairs and an umbrella, I didn’t have to fight for space on the beach. Communication with our host was phenomenal. She was so easy to contact if there was a problem (internet out due to a storm) and took care of it immediately. A huge thank you to our hosts for sharing their lovely home with travelers who just needed to be warm again! We will be back!

It is our pleasure to host and really appreciate your taking the time to provide a review. Your kind words warm my heart and I hope that you can come back to visit again.
The unit was very, very clean. The Host was easy to communicate with and quickly responded to any communication. The mattress and pillows were exceedingly comfortable and that says a lot with my bad back. The view was wonderful. It was a very relaxing week and I would not hesitate to stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Judith Kalpin
We are hopeful that you will enjoy our beach home. This condo on Okaloosa Island is a favorite place for us to relax and enjoy! When we awake in the morning we just say 'WOW' when looking out through the sliding glass doors at the Gulf of Mexico and each evening there is a wonderful sunset that is viewed from either the beach, from the living room or the balcony. Several times we have rented at this condo complex and fell in love with this small, friendly location. Now we are delighted to be owners and to share this little piece of paradise with guests.
At our northern residence we live an active life of work and outdoor recreation. We also enjoy spending time with family, friends, and church/charitable activities.
Why they chose this property
Okaloosa Island is quiet, beautiful and close to many activities. The complex is small, friendly, well-maintained, and our corner unit offers privacy. Island Sands offers the convenience of an exterior staircase so there is no waiting for elevators. The door to our unit #209 is set off from other entrances.
Inside the unit is comfortable, housekeeping is great at keeping it clean, and with the open floor plan there are great views even from the kitchen. The convenience of a full kitchen and washer/dryer make this condo easy living for a short or longer stay.
What makes this property unique
We as owners want our guests to be delighted with this vacation rental. As a Licensed Real Estate Agent with Mabarak Realty in the State of Michigan, Judith's goal is to be available to guests 24/7 for any questions, concerns, inputs or issues just as she is readily available to other clients in the real estate market.
