This was the perfect condo for our spring break stay. We have three boys (13, 10 and 6) and the loft bedroom was a great space for them. We loved the proximity to the beach. Having the chairs and umbrella included were great. Highly recommend this condo as it’s a quieter stretch of beach. We didn’t feel crowded at all.

Awesome condo with great view and beach access!

The condo was great! It was clean and was exactly as the pics depicted it. The view and access to the beach was great! You can't be more than 75yds to the water. The chair service was excellent and although the beach was crowded up and down the beach, it was not at the condo. Another bonus is that you are very close to Stewby's (great food). We would definitely stay there again.

The condo was very comfortable, clean and great location. Loved the balcony furniture. Would like to have had the Check-in list a few days in advance so that we could have been more prepared with essentials that were needed. Such as extra lg trashbags, dish soap, dishwasher soap, hand soap, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent. The weather was perfect and the inclusion of beach service (chairs and umbrella) was a nice touch!! We most definitely be calling you again!! Thanks so much for a great stay.

Perfect winter weekend getaway

Kim is professional and very nice! In Jan., you never know if it will be nice enough to go out on the beach so view is most important! This was a perfect match for me and my 2 teen daughters. Right on the beach and a great view from the sofa too! One afternoon it was too breezy to stay on the beach so we enjoyed the protected balcony. Q bed comfy. Girls loved the loft. Super clean.

Our second stay

We had a few problems With this stay. The first time we were here, everything was great. This time we found that things were not stocked as well. Nothing in the kitchen to help us store our leftovers. I have found other VRBO to be stocked better. We had issues with the HVAC. However, the owners responded quickly to my concerns

Hi Carol, thanks for being a return guest. A few things: we always have Tupperware in our kitchen so it’s surprising to hear it was not there. We would have happily sent over more had you let us know, just as we had more toilet paper delivered to you since the rolls we supplied were not enough for your stay. Also, we reached out to you proactively the moment we noticed one evening via our AC app that the temperature of the condo seemed above normal. We let you know we’d have it fixed asap the following day, which we did. Thank you, Tabatha & Camden

The view was fantastic!! Being on the 3rd floor really highlighted the view of the beach when you walked in. The layout of the space was great, plenty of room for the 4 of us. Having a 2nd bathroom upstairs was a life saver. The space was very clean and up to date. Everything you need in the kitchen. Beautiful and comfortable living space. Full size refrigerator and dishwater. Really enjoyed the umbrella and chairs on the beach. Not overcrowded, almost felt like a private beach. We really enjoyed the sound of the waives from the balcony while we ate dinner. For those who are disabled, there is an elevator! No need to worry about the stairs. There are also 2 carts for bringing your bags upstairs. Only suggestion I have is for the building to have a sign telling smaller cars to please park under the building to leave room for large vehicles outside. Had to park there one night and had maybe 2-3 inches on either side of our full sized pickup truck (between building supports). All in all, we absolutely loved our stay and didn't want to leave! We stayed Sun-Sat. Would definitely stay again.

This facility was under construction not good

Had I known there was construction going on I would have made a different choice in lodging. I was not told until I was on my way to Florida 5 days before my arrival way after I made my plans and paid for stay. Dirty and construction on units deck, scaffolding, dumpster, porta potty, no place to park, pool was full of construction material. Will not be back and will not use VRBO again. Unit is dated, worn and dirty. Windows needed cleaning and deck was torn up and had adhesive smell that was bad could open patio door.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar, 2020
Tim, sorry your experience was so negative. Unfortunately we can’t control the timeline of the project so it was extended past the date it was supposed to be complete. You seemed fine knowing this beforehand as long as it didn’t obstruct your view. I also let you know about overflow parking in the lot next door that was available for use. I’m sure the screen door could have used cleaning because of the debris. I’d have to disagree that the unit is dated. I wish you would have addressed one of these issues when you were there so I could have offered an alternative to you instead of leaving this review. Thanks.

About the host

Hosted by Tabatha & Camden Hottes

Host profile image
This is our second home, not simply an investment property. We live in Nashville, but hope to one day spend more and more time on Okaloosa Island! Until then.. we hope you love our little getaway on the beach as much as we do. We became owners in August 2018. We rent and manage our little beachfront condo by ourselves. We do not own multiple properties, and do not use a property management company. We work very hard to maintain Premier Host status, and strive to provide each guest the best experience by making our home comfortable and functional.

Why they chose this property

We love Okaloosa Island because of it's beautiful, soft, white sand and beautiful emerald green waters. There are days that you cannot tell the difference between our beachfront and the Caribbean! Our beaches on Okaloosa island do not get overcrowded due to the restrictions our county puts on the size and height of commercial properties. Our condo building "The Veranda" only has 9 units, so our beachfront, parking, pool, and elevators are never overcrowded like the big hotels and resorts.

What makes this property unique

All the comforts of home, but with a beautiful oceanfront view of the gulf! Our 3rd floor view from the balcony offers the best view of the beach/ocean and sunsets! Fort Walton Beach does not have the crowds of Destin and Panama City, but is only 5 miles from the Destin bridge. So... our guests can enjoy the best of both worlds.
