The space was welcoming with many beach-centered decorations. It was very clean and well lit. Loved the view and sounds of the ocean from the living room and balcony. The kitchen had everything needed (bring your own coffee). Host was responsive when needed. I would stay here again if in the area.

Great place to stay in Fort Walton! This is our second time staying at this condo unit. Great owner and great condo! We like that it is family friendly and that it is a smaller condo building- meaning the beach is less crowded than other places near by.

Quiet and clean

This was our first time staying in the Okaloosa area. We love the Florida coast especially the quieter, less crowded beaches! Property was very clean and quiet. While the view is excellent and 100 ft from the beach, be aware condo is a 3rd floor walk up and you must walk down stairs and behind building to access the beach catwalk. We had a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Pat Okenica

Host profile image
My husband, Ed & I currently live in Georgia and have been visiting this area for 35 years! We own and operate our own real estate firm at Lake Oconee, which is located 70 miles east of Atlanta, Ga. Old enough to retire, but not ready to give up the 'game'! We have the best of all worlds....living and working on a beautiful 19,000 acre lake in Georgia & owning a special getaway place on Okaloosa Island! We manage it ourselves and it's always very clean and neat. And, of course, the view of the Gulf is like no other!! We would love to share it with you! Please give us a call and we'll tell you all about it!

Why they chose this property

Emerald green waters, pristine beaches, away from everything, but close driving distance to it all. Stunning sunset views. No impersonal high rise buildings! Need we say more?

What makes this property unique

Small Complex, 27 units - 100 feet from the beach - Corner/end unit with it's own private entrance. Extra window in living area enhances the views and the brightness in the rooms, not to mention the view! Sitting on the balcony makes you feel like you could 'reach out and touch the water'. Dolphins playing and Pelicans swooping in for their 'catch of the day'. Convenient to shopping, restaurants, entertainment, yet away from the crowds & traffic of Destin. It's a dream come true!
