Great view and clean!!

The property was very nice and clean! The view of the gulf was fantastic! The furniture on the balcony in the listing is different than the actual furniture at the property. In the picture there is an outside table with tall chairs. At the property there's a couch, a chair, and a side table. We were looking forward to eating at the table on the deck with the view from the taller chairs. The other chairs work they just not what we were expecting. But would definitely stay again!

Reviewer Comments: There were several maintenance issues with the unit, not to mention the walkway to the beach was out the entire visit despite being worked on a little bit each day. I thought it would be done within a day or two. It was still out when we left. The property manager I spoke with wasn't exactly on her game.

We are so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay with us. Unfortunately the walkway repair was out of our hands as it was an HOA repair and delays can happen especially do to weather. We do hope you will consider coming back to one of our many other wonderful condos we have.

Awful beds. No blanket for pullout

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There are two twin beds, one king bed, and 2 pullout beds. The king and two twins need to be replaced. You can feel the springs on the twin beds and the king bed feels like a trampoline. Also, there were no blankets for the pullout beds and no pillowcases for the extra pillows. We didn’t know there was no blankets for the pullout beds until late at night and everything was closed. My kids had no blanket to sleep with on the first night. Other than sleeping issues, the place was the perfect size. Great location. I would stay here again if the beds were replaced.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our experience was great except for the sofa beds that were so out of date that for my older kids we had to go and purchase 2 different air mattresses so that they could sleep on the floor. They need to be updated or replaced. Other than that everything was great.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Sept, 2023
Thank you for staying with us, and letting us know about the sofas. The owner have decided to replace them, and they are on back order. We are glad that you still had a great experience and will return to Okaloosa Island in the future. ***Sofas were replaced in December 2021***
