Great location- Great property
This is our 2nd time to stay here. We love the location. We sail and have pets, so proximity to the sail club as well as the fenced yard, are of utmost importance to us. Property is well kept, in a convenient location. Easy check in/out. Already planning the next stay. 10 Stars!

Great little place for pets. Close to everything
House is great for small family or couple with pets. Please note that you will share the backyard with the blue house next door. They have a small dog and all was good. Property is conveniently located to everything. Clean and all was in working order. Will stay again if in area and available.

Close to downtown okaloosa
My family, my dog, and I take yearly vacations to a new place every year. This is the first time we have not stayed on the beach, we didnt know what to think. It ended up being the best vacation we ever had! We had a fire in the fire pitt 3 of the nights, my dog loved the fenced in backyard, and it was an all around great vacation. If you plan on walking everywhere, it will be challenging, you will want to have a car if your staying here. Great amentities, and i hope everyone takes advantage of the deals explorie offers. We purchased tickets for the water park, and the gulfarium, and you have 1 adult free admission ticket to the events they offer! Only downside is that its in a residential neighborhood where people live their everyday lives, so take that for what its worth. We will be back again for sure!

Great getaway home
Newly renovated and spacious. The home was great for our family. Was close to shopping and only a 2-3 minute drive to the marina or beaches. The grocery stores were very close by. No real complaints about this home except I wish the bed in the master bedroom didn’t have the most comfortable mattress. Bed was a little low to the ground for our personal taste but that didn’t stop the vacation or home experience from being great. There were too many positives to focus on 1 or 2 negative things. The home is 5star to me. The value was in line with the price. Will most certainly stay here again this summer
