We had an amazing stay at this beautiful beach house! It was the perfect place for our family vacation—clean, comfortable, well-stocked, and in a fantastic location. We made so many wonderful memories relaxing together, enjoying the beach, and spending quality time as a family. The home had everything we needed, and the hosts clearly put a lot of thought into making guests feel welcome. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect beach getaway!

This is our second stay in this exact condo and it is wonderful! The location is perfect - literal steps to the beach. My husband loves that he can back the truck up right to the door and unload! The beds are comfy and the place is spotless. We have been very happy staying here and we will be back at the same time next year hopefully!

This is the second time we’ve stayed here. Truly a hidden gem, we find that the location, off the beaten path, is perfect for us. Not a ton of beach traffic and the sand is essentially the same as East of the bridge. The A/C cranks and there are 4 reclining seats in the living room. Great place!

Directly on the beach! Wonderful!

We had a really nice time! The proximity to the beach was the absolute best part. We loved walking right out the back door and having toes in the sand! My only complaint (and it’s minor) is that we had to buy an extra blanket for the master bed because we were freezing! I hope to be back this time next year!

Great Vacation

My family and I had a great time. The condo was clean and spacious for a family of 4. The view was amazing and being able to walk a few steps to the beach was very convenient. I will definitely be recommending this place to a few of my friends and family. Also, the restaurants around the area was great.

Great Family Vacation Place

Great spot, perfect for older guests because of the first floor access. Even though it's a large complex and seven stories high, we never heard a peep from neighbirs above or next to us. Owners went above and beyond to ensure our stay was amazing and provided great recommendations.

We had the best time!

My family and I had the best time on vacation! The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. I wasn’t sure about being on the first floor but it was very convenient with small kids because you go right out the patio and the beach is almost right there. The beach is absolutely beautiful and you get a beach umbrella and 2 chairs with your rental which was great! We would definitely stay there again!

Fall Break Vacay

This was a great vacation. We were able to spend time on the beach and relax in the condo. I loved being on the first floor and close to the walkway to the beach. Our host was wonderful and communicated in a quick and timely manner. She also made suggestions of activities to do and restaurants to visit. I plan to return soon.

Relaxing Stay

Our family of 6 had a great stay at this location. Fort Walton is a quiet, relaxing, beach town! We loved having easy access to the beach with just a few steps! The added bonus of two beach chairs and an umbrella was a huge plus and made our beach days more enjoyable with less to tote. We had plenty of room and everything we needed for the stay! The host was very quick at responding and even suggested things to do in the area and restaurants to check out during our stay. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your condo! We had a great time!

Peaceful Stay

This condo is now our favorite. From the moment you walk in you can see the amazing view. I was a bit worried being on the ground floor that I wouldn't be able to see the ocean good, but it was perfect! Love the easy access to the beach. The rooms were spacious and great size for our teenagers. Nicole was very responsive and helped with any questions I had. Can't wait to stay again!

Home away from hone

One Step To The Beach is everything we had been looking for in a vacation rental. It is the cleanest place we have ever stayed. The hosts were amazing and communication was excellent! The property is located directly on the beach! You literally walk out your back door and you are a few steps away from the beautiful sand and ocean! We have found our new “home away from home” and will definitely be returning to this wonderful condo for our next vacation!

We were very pleased with this condo. Very spacious. Bedroom setup was perfect. I like the primary bedroom to have a view. We really liked being on the first floor. Beds were very comfortable. Beach service was easy. Would definitely stay here again.We didn’t do much exploring. Just wanted to chill. Would recommend going to McGuires Pub. The food and service were outstanding.
