This property was very clean and a great location! The beach was not over crowded and plenty of surrounding food options and grocery stores. The management was very helpful and responded to messages quickly and efficiently. We had some confusion with our check in process but the security at the gate was very helpful. The management team also called to reassure that we were taken care of which I thought was very professional and curtesy. We will definitely be back for another vacation!

Great location needs a little TLC
The location and the view were amazing. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but the condo could use a little updating. The kitchen looks fabulous, but the dishwasher probably needs to be replaced it never dried the dishes.
The bathroom fan didn’t work and it needs an update. Peeling cabinets and door difficult to close. Neither of the closets had hangers which was odd.
Also, the entire place was dingy. As soon as we walked in our socks and feet bottoms were black. The dishes in the cabinet and silverware had food caked on them.
This condo was perfect for my family of four. The property was clean and relaxing. I definitely enjoyed the short walk to the beach. We enjoyed our stay here and look forward to coming here again!
Beautiful views from the balcony and long stretch of beach to enjoy. Condo is clean and comfortable actually larger than I thought it would be. Been coming to fort Walton / Destin area for 20 years. My favorite place to stay by far because of the well maintained grounds and being able to stay away from the crowds.
