excellent place - right on the gulf - facing the ocean. Our 2nd floor unit was a little too close to the beach ramp and we had to close the drapes - but otherwise it was great. The umbrella guy Drake was excellent.The bedrooms and kitchen was all great.

Thanks for the 10/10 rating! We’re happy you enjoyed the condo, the oceanfront views, and the convenience of being right by the beach. The 2nd‑floor location is perfect for quick access, though we understand it can feel close to the ramp at times. We appreciate your compliments about the bedrooms, kitchen, and Drake’s service. We’re glad you had a great stay and look forward to hosting you again.

2nd stay was just as nice as the 1st.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the 2nd year in a row that we stayed here. It did not disappoint. We really liked that the balcony was so close to the crossover bridge. We could see members of our party going and coming. We were so close to the beach. We also enjoyed the back balcony and could see our grandchildren in the pool. They took advantage of us throwing towels a short distance to them. We enjoyed the whole experience.
Response from VrboOwner on 8 Jun 2026
Thank you for the wonderful 5‑star review! We love hearing that your second stay didn’t disappoint. The front balcony’s location by the crossover really is convenient, and it sounds like the back balcony made pool time extra fun for the grandkids. We’re so happy you enjoyed being so close to the beach and had a great overall experience. We look forward to hosting you again.

We stayed many times at destin and fort walton area, this is far best we stayed in, clean, hospitality, the beach, the pool the condo equipped with everything you need for pleasure great and awesome vacation. Plenty of space two full bathroom in case the boss, the queen and the wife need her own bathroom, lol, the best that is out the world is the balcony and the view of the beach. Just sitting there early morning or late night just listening to the beach and the wave ohhh. That's is great and you need that balcony big and spacious and this balcony it is it goes around the building from the side. You will absolutely love this place and you will never forget it or regret it.

Great condo! Exactly as pictured. Easy access to walkway to beach. We took advantage of their beach towels and beach tote. They also offered a small cooler. I always order Walmart delivery when we get there. They offered to accept delivery and put frozen items and refrigerator items in fridge. It was great not having to wait for delivery Condo was clean and furniture comfortable. Will definitely book again.

Sunday Very Early Construction Noise and Bathroom Ants

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We knew going in that construction would be happening, but had been told it should be on the other side of the complex during our brief weekend stay in Feb. So when it started directly outside our condo on Sat morning at 6:30am we chalked it up to the nice discount we had received and the vagaries of construction work. But, when we started hearing hammers and loud talking at 6:30am on Sunday, we were unpleasantly surprised. Sunday is not a traditional construction work day and to start loudly so early was very inconsiderate. As we had our coffee on the balcony enjoying the incredible view, we had painters right off it on their scaffolding. Our college age girls were freaked out by the many ants in their bathroom. They ended up using ours most of the time. It was just for a three night stay over a weekend, so we tried killing them ourselves and then mentioned them when we checked out. The view was breathtaking and the condo very comfortable.

Reviewer Comments: This condo does have million dollar views, very clean and spacious. easy access to the pool and beach. only issue was the TV's in the bedrooms. the master bedroom TV was not very clear and finding the correct remotes was a fun game. the TV in the 2nd bedroom was so small it was hard to see the screen. those are very minor things overall i give it 5 stars and would recommend this to anyone including myself in the future
