Overall, the stay was good and the communication with the owner was excellent. It is a smaller/older house but it fit our needs fine. There are some things that could use some updating/repairs, but you have everything you need. It’s in a good location that’s close to everything, but if you’re looking for something fancy, this isn’t for you. For the price I’d say you get what you paid for. There were a couple of issues, but the owner responded quickly. I definitely recommend new blinds, maybe some paint, extra sheets/blankets for the air mattress, and better mattresses. Overall, we had a good experience.

Great Location for Travel Baseball Families!

Our son had a weeklong travel baseball tournament in Fort Walton Beach, and this location was PERFECT! We had easy access to a majority of the ballparks where the kids compete, and there were plenty of options for food. It's also a short drive from the beach. We highly recommend John Beasley Park. It offered public beach access and there were restrooms to shower off and tons of parking. We also enjoyed dinner one night at Ali's Bistro. During months that end in R, we highly recommend High Tide Restaurant!
