Fort Walton Beach is always such a nice vacation spot. This condo is beautiful and you can tell they put a lot of work into remodeling it. The bottom floor is so easy for bringing things into your room and avoiding the elevator/stairs, especially convenient for going back to the bathroom while enjoying the beach. We will definitely keep this room in mind for our next trip!
Great property and loved being on the ground floor- the beach access was just a short walk around the corner. The condo is very clean and a good size kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. Everything was beautifully labeled inside which made things easy to find and know where to put back. They thought of everything so it’s like home. Quick response in communications- they give you all the info you need at the start though so you are prepared with what you need to know. The parking lot in the front of the building is a hill but is flat on the sides, just a heads up for newcomers. Would stay again if in the area in the future!

C.H. - - Thanks for the shout-out! And, yes, the building is built "up" on a hill... Can be a bit daunting, for sure!! But, that gets it so that the 1st floor can see the beach - over the dune...
Pros: Great location right on the beach, ocean view from the living area and master bedroom, 1st floor unit making coming and going easy, clean and well stocked, the pool was clean and not crowded, plenty of room in the 2nd bedroom and their own tv, I’ve stayed in this town before and the people are friendly. Cons: The master bedroom has a very uncomfortable bed and awful pillows. It is bright in the mornings so I was up soon after the sun was. I didn’t sleep well all week, mostly due to the pillows. The bathroom in the master has no door which was a pain; we had to make sure to lock the bedroom door. The master bath tub (and counters) are very tall with an added lip for the shower door adding even more height to the tub. I had booked the first floor unit bc I was bringing my elderly mother. She still gets along pretty well for her age but she said the shower was difficult. Just a warning in case you bring someone that is elderly, has mobility issues, or is short.
We loved the condo! Specially the little accommodations included for little kids. Our kids loved the specious bunkbeds.The location was perfect. Close to the beach but away from all the noise of new year's eve. We are definitely saving this one as one of our favorites.
The condo was every bit as wonderful as promised and shown in the online photos. Everything we could have needed was supplied, including bath supplies, dishes, serving bowls and cookware. The well-equipped kitchen included a countertop oven that handled roasting, broiling, and air-frying when the full-sized oven wasn’t needed. The standout here is, of course, the proximity to the sugar-sand beach and emerald water of the Gulf of Mexico, both on extensive display from the open-concept main room and the wall of windows in the master bedroom. First-floor access to the beach is an easy walk to the walkway over the dunes. In season, a couple of beach chairs under an umbrella are provided free of charge and set up daily by a service.While the well-appointed condo, beach views, and proximity would be sufficient to make this unit a standout for a vacation, it’s the attentiveness of the hosts of this condo that seals the deal, as other reviewers have noted. From the quick responses I received to questions before our arrival to the comprehensive communications I received when roof maintenance threatened to disrupt our stay, the hosts kept in contact with us, providing updates on the work, even going so far as to send pictures of the progress and completion schedule, as well as contacting condo board members on site for reports. Their attentiveness, concern and efforts regarding the situation and addressing our concerns went above and beyond our expectations.

Thanks guys!
I’m glad you all got some good weather and wish we could have held off on that new roof!! Rebecca n Shannon
As always this condo did not disappoint. This was our 9th time to stay here and we will be back again! We love the first floor ocean view, a few steps to the beach and the condo is always clean!
This was a well taken care of condo that provided everything we needed for our family of 5! The owners were very responsive and kind. You can’t beat the location as it was directly on the ocean and in a quiet part of the area, which was exactly what we wanted! A perfect week at the beach - we will be back!
The layout was great. The kitchen had plenty of dishes. Everything was labeled neatly. The patio view was wonderful and the walk to the beach was short.
This is our second time staying at this condo. It’s hands down our very favorite place to stay! Our boys are already asking us to book again. The condo is nice and clean while also providing all the basic things you need while staying there. The beach is literally right in front of you which is our favorite part. We much prefer Okaloosa island over Destin or PCB. We look forward to our next stay!
Loved our stay, again. This condo had all we needed (except a readily available broom &dustpan). Great stay!!

Hi Kristi, we’re so glad to hear that your family had another great stay! The broom, dustpan, and mop are located in the small A/C closet right next to the washer and dryer. We also have a vacuum cleaner in the master bedroom closet. :)
We loved our stay in this condo on the Emerald Coast! It was exactly as described and well equipped with everything we needed. The convenience of the first floor was ideal for our family. We will definitely stay here again! Thanks for an amazing family trip!
We had an excellent stay at this beachfront property! The location was unbeatable, right on the beach with stunning views. The place was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed. Communication with the owner was smooth and prompt, and the easy access from parking to the front door was a plus. We would definitely stay here again!
Look no farther! This is the place you need to book for your next trip! The views are wonderful, the condo is so nice and clean. The private access to the beach is just steps away from your condo! We absolutely loved it here!
Outstanding property and hosts. Very responsive throughout booking and our stay. Beautiful view and very convenient to any and all activities. Would definitely book again!!
We have been to this unit multiple times and as always had a great time! Everything is very clean and we always feel at home. Thank you for sharing your condo with us!
