WOW! The BEST Waters Edge 205! Direct Beachfront Condo! Family Friendly/Big Pool

Overall, We had a wonderful stay! The condo was well stocked with every little detail taken care of. We love the keyless entry and the large pool and the beach attendant was very nice. The cons didn't outweigh the good points and I would stay here again except for 1 thing - the bed in the second bedroom was horrible! I had seen reviews saying so but when I contacted the manager I was told the mattress had been replaced. We found it to be lumpy and very uncomfortable. The bed squeaked very badly too. Also the furniture in the living room is very worn and the couch is very uncomfortable to sit on. Some updates are in order, but I think once a few changes are made, it will be one of the best places to stay on Okaloosa Island.

Condo was full equipped which helps when traveling from far far away! I would stay again, only issue may be the mattresses in other other rooms. The master room was great but my children said the beds were uncomfortable.

We rented this condo for a bachelorette trip, and it was wonderful! You are right on the beach and the condo is surprisingly roomy. The master bathroom is huge, so seven girls getting ready at the same time wasn't an issue. We enjoyed cooking in the nice kitchen, too. Also, it was really nice to have a code instead of a key, and everything was really clean. One tiny complaint is the bed in the second bedroom was a little uncomfortable and loud, but I'm still giving this place five stars because it was perfect otherwise! I would definitely book it again!

This is a lovely unit. It is updated and has beautiful, tasteful decor. It was spotless on check-in. It is in a great location and is steps from the elevator and stairs.

The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes and everything you need to cook. (But with all the great restaurant options in FWB, why cook on vacation?) The unit is spacious, and there was plenty of room for six of us to spread out. There are beach chairs and beach toys in the condo for guests to use. My teen and young adult children really appreciated the USB charging blocks throughout the unit. No one was fighting for outlet space to charge devices.

The view from the balcony is stunning, and the balcony has four very nice, tall Adirondack chairs so you can see over the railing when you’re sitting. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to enjoy the balcony much on this visit due to the heavy smokers in the unit below ours who were on their patio smoking every time we went out. (This is a property issue, not an issue with this condo. I wish Waters Edge would ban smoking on patios/balconies.)

Two beach chairs and an umbrella are included with the unit. We paid for an extra set up so there was plenty of shade for all of us. Elliott, the beach attendant, is super friendly, polite, and helpful. (Be sure to tip him!)

The management company, Easy Vacation Services, is aptly named, as this was our fourth summer at Waters Edge and by far the easiest booking/check-in/check-out experience we have had there. CareySue is great at communicating and is quick to answer texts/emails. She also helpfully provided a long list of favorite restaurants and other activities.

There are two very minor issues that I would bring to the owners’ attention. The mattresses on the bunk beds need to be replaced. My daughter slept on the bottom bunk, and the mattress is actually sunken down in the middle and very uncomfortable. Also, the finish on the dining table is very sticky (likely due to ocean air) making it hard to play games, etc. It might be worth providing a table cloth. We remedied the issue by purchasing a cheap, plastic table cover at Publix.

We love Waters Edge, and we loved this condo and would definitely rent it again. Thanks for helping us have a great vacation!

The unit was well maintained and clean. It had a very cozy feel and we liked the view of the landscaped area and beach which made it feel more like a house than a complex. We did enjoy the amenities though of it being a complex too, beach access/showers, pool (heated especially), and a pool area bathroom! The kitchen cabinets were well stocked with lots of plate and cups options, great for giving the kiddos something that wasn’t breakable. The kids liked the bunk bed room with built in reading lights and the adults enjoyed the tall deck chairs to see over the railing and enjoy the view best. The only minor issue was an entry code that didn’t work when we arrived but it was resolved SUPER FAST (like in just a few minutes). The communication before and during trip was great! Will stay again!
