About the host
Hosted by Virginia Strunk
My name is Virginia Strunk and my husband Randy and I purchased this property from the original owner at the end of 2020 as a place to make priceless family memories by the sea! We named it the Octopus Garden because just as an octopus makes their little slice of paradise by putting a garden of shells and coral outside of their lairs, so have we! We have put our heart and soul into making this ocean home a slice of paradise, and you will find some coral and shells around the place too!
I am a LCSW/Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for foster care, all things beach and ocean related, and spending time with my loved ones (especially at the beach haha). As a mom of 5, I know how difficult it is to plan a vacation and all the time and expense that goes into it. I also know how arriving to a not well kept property can really ruin the whole trip. Or when something unexpected goes wrong, how annoying it is to wait on hold only to finally talk to someone that has never even been to Florida, much less the particular property. That is exactly why I decided to handle all property management myself - so that I personally can make sure that what is advertised is what you get, and that your expectations are not just met but exceeded. If you have questions or need anything, you have my direct number and I genuinely care about you having an amazing trip with your loved ones.

Why they chose this property
We chose Azure because it is a smaller resort and the grounds are immaculately maintained. There will always be room by the pool, and no waking up at 6 am to stand in line for beach chairs. It is great for families and still nice enough for couples to feel like it is a retreat.
Azure is one of the only place on the island that can see the Gulf from the 1st floor. We love walking out our back gate and being steps away from the beach, with no stairs in between. It makes all the difference to not have to go through a lobby or take an elevator every time you need an extra drink or a break from the sun. We also love that our kids can nap inside while we sit by the pool or in the hot tub with the baby monitor- it is that close!
We think the best thing about going to the beach is the beach! We love walking out our back gate and being steps away from the ocean. It makes all the difference in the world to not have to go up and down stairs, take elevators, and go through a lobby every time you need an extra drink or a break from the sun. We also love that our kids can nap inside while we sit by the pool or in the hot tub with the baby monitor- it is that close!
We love how Okaloosa Island has the most beautiful white, sugary sand and turquoise water. We have the benefits of being near Destin without the crowds as hotels and condos have a 6 floor maximum- no high rises! There are fireworks on the pier Wednesdays during the summer, icecream and mini-golf across the street, and live music at AJ's right around the corner.
