Great family vacation rental
Very well maintained building with a awesome view of the gulf. The condo was clean and decorated with a very nice beach theme. My wife and I enjoyed the morning coffee on the balcony looking at the beach and gulf. The kids enjoyed the easy access to the beach and I better mention the pool was also a nice place to take a break from the beach. Would definitely stay at the Plams again...

Fall break
Loved the area and beach. We had trouble with our televisions. You should let guests know about how tight the parking is. I also feel like for the cost, beach service should be included. No one wants to carry chairs and an umbrella to the beach every day.

Wonderful girls trip!!! Perfect location!
We’ve stayed all up and down the panhandle; Ft Walton and The Palms are the perfect location: out of the fray of Destin and the traffic, yet close enough to drive in for additional shopping and restaurants. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful condo!
It was just as good as the pictures show. We loved the condo, facility in general and the location. Highly recommended for families! The beach was not nearly as full as some in surrounding areas and had a very laid back vibe. We spent a ton of time on the balcony, the view was fantastic!

Clean property
This condo was very clean and cozy. Everything in the condo was convenient. My only complaint was with the condo owner, and unfortunately the management company was stuck in the middle. We constantly felt like the owner was watching us on the front door ring camera, to the point where it was very uncomfortable. I understand they watch for theft, and property damage, but 2 days in a row the management company texted me with owner complaints, which were minor, and personally not worth your guests stress. When you only have 5 days to be on vacation, and drive 16 hours it makes it a somewhat bad experience.We most definitely left the property in excellent condition, so I felt like the owners constantly watching, and complaining was absolutely uncalled for. I would stay at another property the management company oversees, but not this particular property again.
