We absolutely loved our stay! The condo was beautiful, clean, and decorated so perfectly. You can tell so much thought and care has been put into making guests feel comfortable.One of our favorite things was how organized everything was — and I mean EVERYTHING was labeled! It made it so easy to find what we needed and truly feel right at home. All the little details made such a big difference.The space was cozy, welcoming, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing vacation. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful place to get away!

Dear Kelly, So glad you loved our beaches on Okaloosa Island in Fort Walton Beach (minutes from Destin) It is great being such a quick walk to the beach from the condo (about 2 mins).

Perfect condo for a family of 4!

The condo is perfect.. It is a short walk to the beach. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking in and the beds are very comfortable. The WiFi worked great and the TV worked wonderfully. The only negative is you can hear people walking upstairs at times. We would definitely stay here again!!

Dear Ryan, The Sea Shell isn't ocean front, but you are correct, it is a very short walk, only minutes to the beach. I try to make sure I provide many great amenities for my guests, WiFi, SMART TV, New Mattresses, kitchen supplies ready for cooking. and many more. I am sorry about the loud guests upstairs, I wish I had know about the issue. I would have resolved it for you. I pride myself on quickly responding to my guest's needs.
