Second time staying in this condo. It was a great condo with everything we needed and access to beach was easy. Only issue we had is the condo building is undergoing maintenance and upgrades so we had to navigate the construction.

Week long vacation

We had an excellent stay at this condo. The rooms were clean and well furnished. The pool area is nice and easily accessible. The beach is just a short walk across the property. 10/10 stayIf I were to critique anything it would be that we wished the TVs were smart TVs that way we could access our streaming services in the early mornings and evenings. (Not completely necessary because they do offer cable)

Great Condo in a great spot!

We really enjoyed our short stay in this condo. The layout was great for sleeping our five person family, and the ocean views were beautiful. There was lots of living space to spread out in. The furniture and beds were comfy-we would definitely stay here again. We had never stayed on Okaloosa Island before, and I love how small and non-touristy it seemed, while also being so very close to all Destin has to offer.
