The condo was very nice and fully supplied and maintained. Gated parking and security access to the pool and beach. The chef's kitchen was a bonus that we took advantage of during our stay. Leasing agent (Bob) was great to work with prior and during our stay.
No problems. No concerns. We have stayed on okaloosa island on several occasions. Bella riva was great. We would try here again.
