The property was perfect for our family and you can’t beat the proximity to the pool and beach. Our hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, we will definitely come back again!
We had an amazing time during our stay. The condo had everything we could need and plenty of space for two families. It was also nice to have games and toys for our little one. The pool was easy to access and a great way to spend the day as well as the beach. We would definitely stay here again.
Mike and Jennifer have a gorgeous home. Their furnishings are beautiful and functional. The views and access to the beach are fantastic. We had a couple of glitches with televisions and internet (due to prior renters), but it was overall a fantastic rental and we are thankful for these memories.
This was a beautiful and delightful place to stay with my family! We are already planning to coming back to this same place next year! It was so much like home here!!

So glad to have you as our guest and can't wait till you return!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed staying here and are already hoping to return again next summer! It was spacious and the location was great; we loved being able to look out the window and see the beautiful ocean view and take a short walk down to the beach. Only wish we could have stayed longer!
This property is as perfect for our family vacation. Kid friendly, easy access to the beach and pool, two living spaces and ample room provided all of our needs. Jennifer and Mike provided great communication and were so easy to work with.
We sure hope to return again someday to beautiful Okaloosa Island.
The condo was perfect for our two families … the two masters gave everyone their own space and the extra living room area gave the tweens/teens their own area to hang out in the evenings.
A great location and just steps from the beach!
The owners were very communicative and helpful throughout the booking process and our stay. I highly recommend this condo and would definitely stay again.
Mike and Jennifer were wonderful to deal with! The condo was perfect for all of us (9) everyone had plenty of space. The location was close to everything you needed. We would defiantly stay here again.

Well decorated and very comfortable
This unit is very tastefully decorated, they did an excellent job with the remodel. We were there for Thanksgiving and the pool was heated so you could swim. The beach is absolutely amazing and well kept. We saw lots of dolphins and manta rays. Will definitely come back and rent here again.
The condo was in a great location. Very clean, well maintained, and beautifully decorated. Beach chairs being rented daily by the condo owner is also an amazing bonus, it made our walk down to the beach so much easier. They also provided floats and beak toys, which meant one less thing for us to unpack. Will definitely choose to stay at #402 in the future!

Thanks so much for the kind words, Jacklyn. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you back!
This was such a great experience. The owners are so nice and the property is absolutely amazing! We had so much space to be able to hang out together or take some time apart and for a group as big as mine (7 adult women) that is a big deal. This was so wonderful and we will be coming back next year!!
We had an amazing vacation and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved the spaciousness of the condo and especially enjoyed having a second sitting/tv room to accommodate different family members wanting to do different things during down time. The hosts were very timely in their responses and made everything very clear and easy upon our arrival. We had access to everything we needed and were able to spend so much time bonding and having fun in the sun on the beautiful beach. Thank you for a great stay!

Gorgeous, spacious condo
We loved our stay in this spacious newly remodeled condo. Super clean & beautiful, with new furnishings that were obviously chosen with care. Super comfy bedding, modern everything. Many extra thoughtful touches. Would recommend & would stay here again! Be sure & note that it is a side unit-thus a side view of the ocean from the balconies (but a nice view).
We really enjoyed the space that we had in this condo! It fit 6 adults, one teenager, and an infant perfectly with plenty of room if we had a few extra kids! The condo was clean and had every thing we needed/forgot. We love Emerald Isle in general, this was our 3rd year staying there, and this was by far the best condo we’ve stayed in there. We hope to be able to stay here again in the coming years! 10/10!
Property could have been a little cleaner especially the floors. Our feet were black after walking barefoot for only a few minutes. Stranger’s hair was found on the duvet cover and bathroom counter.
The kitchen is smaller but well equipped. The property, pool and beach are well maintained and beautiful.
Overall we loved our stay and wanted to stay longer. Would recommend and would stay again.

If you had only told us of your concerns, we would have immediately sent a cleaning crew back to the unit. We work very hard on keeping a warm, welcoming, and neat rental space for our guests. We wish you would have contacted us.
Everything was exactly as described! Furnished to meet your every need! Beautifully decorated and very roomy. The only thing I didn’t like was the 3rd bedroom with the bunks was right beside the elevator so you got all the noise mate into the night but other than that it was great! Thanks again!!

Thanks for the kind words. Sometimes when the building is busy like that we run a small fan to muffle any outside noise.
We had an awesome time on the beach. The location is close to multiple restaurants and things to do. The listing was 100% accurate and we had no problems with the property. Only thing I would have a complaint about would be to have more towels on hand for a larger group that stays in the future. Not a really a complaint just more of a suggestion. The property was clean and very nice.

Cute, welll appointed beach condo with lots of charm
It was our first stay on Okaloosa Island and the first time our 2 families had traveled together. Emerald Isles Dreams had everything we needed for a great vacation. Absolutely gorgeous beach! The surf provided just the right amount of wave-action for the kids to enjoy boogie boards while mom's could feel safe. Travis' beach service was great. He suggested a fantastic restaurant nearby we would have never found on our own...you really MUST try Dewey Destin! Great bay side atmosphere, gorgeous sunset, delicious food, and Louisiana snowballs! Everything in the condo was beautiful. The kitchen is well stocked (tho I would suggest a few tools for the bbq grills), the towels plush, and the beds were so comfy. Amazing appliances made cooking in the condo a treat instead of a chore. We had to contact the owners one evening for a minor WiFi connection issue and Mike immediately responded. Super sweet owners. I would HIGHLY recommend this condo!

About the host
Hosted by Mike Wendland
We're Mike and Jennifer Wendland and we do a lot of traveling across North America and discovered the Emerald Coast of Northwest Florida several years ago. We fell in love with the laid back beauty of Okaloosa Island and its awesome beaches and have found ourselves here so often that we decided to get our own place. We bought this condo in 2016 and have totally rebuilt it room by room. When we can't be here because of our travel schedule (we are travel writers), we love to share it with our special guests as a rental.
Why they chose this property
It is large, roomy and those two balconies give it such great views. We loved remodeling it and chose this unit because it is so close to the beach and those awesome emerald green waters.
