Safe but missing details.

It was very different this time for us, as this was our 6th time staying on Okaloosa island. Usually we stay in the Emerald towers for a week Saturday to Saturday for the same money we spent on this unit we had for 4 days 3 nights. My biggest disappointment was the pool not being opened even though it is listed in the listing having a pool and when I asked the unit owner about the pool , she stated that it is seasonal and may not be open yet and that she would contact the HOA president and find out if it would be open while we were on vacation there and let me know what she finds out, but she never got back to me.and the My recommendation is to have on this propertys listing that the pool is seasonal, my daughter is heartbroken she didn't get to swim. Also misleading is the property is showing it on the beach side of the main road on Okaloosa island, but is not. Read the small print, I missed it when I booked the unit.

Beach get-away

The property was just the right size, clean and accessible to the beach. I was a bit disappointed with the television selection process. We couldn’t really see the stations we wanted to see. That was the only disappointment.

Poolside condo??

Advertised as poolside condo. Pool was closed. Location is great for beach goers. Needs updating but functional & clean inside. Porch & patio need alot of TLC. Grill was not usable without a good cleaning.

Nice stay

Good location, inside clean and maintained well. Great communication with owner. The only drawbacks for me was that the front of the property was not shown in photos so I was a little surprised at the appearance of the outside of the building. The pool was not in working order during our stay. But overall we really enjoyed the stay, it was quiet and very nice to be away from the party scene as a family.
