Second time staying in this condo. It was a great condo with everything we needed and access to beach was easy. Only issue we had is the condo building is undergoing maintenance and upgrades so we had to navigate the construction.

Week long vacation

We had an excellent stay at this condo. The rooms were clean and well furnished. The pool area is nice and easily accessible. The beach is just a short walk across the property. 10/10 stayIf I were to critique anything it would be that we wished the TVs were smart TVs that way we could access our streaming services in the early mornings and evenings.

Great Condo in a great spot!

We really enjoyed our short stay in this condo. The layout was great for sleeping our five person family, and the ocean views were beautiful. There was lots of living space to spread out in. The furniture and beds were comfy-we would definitely stay here again. We had never stayed on Okaloosa Island before, and I love how small and non-touristy it seemed, while also being so very close to all Destin has to offer.

Cute condo, beautiful beach

We loved this property. We have stayed on Okaloosa island for years and we have found our new home away from home. We already have booked another stay here. The host Linda was very quick to respond to questions. The property was just as presented and very clean. This property has a lot of little extras that made it great. The paintings were a special touch. The kitchen was super well stocked with anything and everything we needed. The giant kitchen table was great for boardgames at night. The patio furniture was super comfortable. The beds were comfortable. The shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, and useable toilet paper (not 1 ply) are all things that are not normally included. The unit was larger than expected and perfect for my family (grandmother, mother, and son). The beach service was great. The attendant was very polite and considerate. All the people we encountered were super nice. It seemed more of a family place than a party place. Plenty of room on the beach to stretch out and play in the sand. We love having the boardwalk so close with plenty of places to eat and fireworks on Wednesday night in the summer. We always go to Wild Willys for goofy golf and arcade time. We also love AJs and the best ice cream shop right there close to AJs. The pool was a plus for my son. Most resorts don't have a pool 7 ft deep and he loved it. It was never crowded in the deep end and plenty of room on shallow for the littles. The grilling area was great to

Lovely condo

The condo was very nice and extremely clean. However it’s important to mention the pictures on the listing suggested that the balcony is directly overlooking the ocean, it sits pretty far back in a U shaped 3 building structure. Standing on the balcony you are looking at the 2 connected buildings and directly in front is the concrete parking area and firelane then the ocean. The kitchen is lovely and updated however the pots and pans need to be replaced. All are teflon and are scratched and flaking. We purchased new pans so we could cook our meals and brought them home. We enjoyed the week relaxing and the location was very nice. Linda was wonderful to work with and answered all our booking questions immediately.

Wonderful beach vacation

Check-in was easy with keyless entry with provided code. Condo was clean, kitchen was stocked, beds and furniture were comfortable. We loved the balcony with a great view of the gulf from the 6th floor. We did not hear noise from any neighboring condos. The beach was beautiful, the included umbrella/chair rental was wonderful and convenient. The pool was great also. We did not utilize it, but there was a nice area to grill down by the pool. The kids loved the Murphy bed. We have no complaints and very much enjoyed our stay. The coffee pot can brew a full carafe, or a single cup with k-cup, for all the coffee drinkers that want to know.
