Great Beach Stay
We had a great stay for the family. The condo was spacious and clean with a private yard for the dogs. The location was great being close to the water, dog park, and great restaurants. We love to come back for another stay.

Quick Getaway
My husband, son and pup came down for a couple of nights. This was a good location that was close to the dog park and some restaurants. We spent a good portion of our time in Navarre so I can't speak on how the beaches were in this area. The beds were comfortable and the only thing I would recommend is some curtains. The lights from the Kia Dealership would come through the blinds a bit much. I always take a box fan with me on vacations because I dont do well with noise and this really came in handy at this location because it is right off a busy strip. Overall, this was comfortable for our stay :-)

A very nice and spotless place to stay!
We only stayed for the weekend as we were in the area for my sister's celebration of life, so we couldn't really enjoy the local attractions, nor did we spend too much time in the condo. But we found it very comfortable and clean and it more than met our needs. I would love to come back under better circumstances. One note, you cannot access any of the bedrooms without going up stairs. Not a problem for most people, but I have bad knees, haha. That may be listed in the description but I didn't spot it. But I just viewed it as physical therapy, lol. Again, a great place to stay and I would highly recommend it.

Family New Years Trip
Property was well maintained and spacious for our party of 7 plus dog. Location although just off busy street was quiet, even on New Year's eve. The large park/ with fenced dog park was perfect for walking our puppy. Family restaurants nearby offered good meal options. Since weather was cool, water activities were not an option, but we found a few indoor activities to try ie bowling and an escape room adventure. Best of all was the condo with it's spacious table seating for 8 for our hours of family games. The smaller extra game room area off the spacious kitchen allowed us to split up into different activities. Unfortunately, due to cool temps we did not get to take advantage of the fire pit in back yard. Denis, owner, was always quick to respond to any questions we had. Would highly recommend this property

Loved this property
This property was very accomadative and made sure all our needs were covered incase we forgot something like shampoo, toothbrush/paste, soap. They also had everyrhing in the kitchen like coffee, spices and utensils. Covered all our beach needs except swim wear and sun screen, and was beautifully decorated and family friendly. Will definitely stay again if we return to fort walton.

Clean and comfy
Great experience! The host took good care of us with small touches like coffee, full spice rack, and even small bags of chips and bottles of water. The place is new on the inside and spotless. Our favorite part was the enclosed patio area with comfortable, clean, attractive furniture (and a handsome fire pit). Showers were awesome! Also- the home has solar panels, which was just nice to have. Very responsive and communicative host. Only downside was exterior is dated and location is between a Super 8 motel and a Kia dealer. The positive of the location is the nice park that’s right across the street. We recommend this for families, especially those with small dogs. Thanks!
