Clean & Affordable Beach Condo - Just Steps from the Sand!

20 yards out the back door and you are on the SANDY BEACH ACCESS!! Ground floor means no stairs or waiting on elevators. Tropical Isle is on Okaloosa Island on the world famous Emerald Coast near Fort Walton Beach & Destin.

Wonderful one bedroom condo with a queen bed and comfortable fold out futon in the living room, and one bath. Full kitchen and full breakfast bar with 4 stools. It has been remodeled and updated. The front entrance faces the street and a back entrance leads to the public beach access walkway to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. This property has a swimming pool and a convenience store next door for snacks and essentials. Excellent restaurants nearby include Old Bay Steamer, Stewby's (great affordable seafood), AJ's Oyster Shanty, Fubar Pizza, Hightide Seafood & Oyster Bar, and The Gulf (outdoor seating with breathtaking sunsets overlooking the bay). Destin is only 9 minutes away with water parks, great places to eat, and lots of shopping.

My condo includes FREE wireless high speed Internet and cable television. There is a coin-op laundry room on the premises (uses credit card payments). You can expect a condo that is clean and affordable where you can walk to the beach with your coffee in the morning to enjoy the sunrise. Who knows, you might even see a dolphin playing in the water. (Look approx. 100 yards out. This is usually where the dolphins play.)
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a dryer, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Almost perfect

If the bathroom would have been a bit cleaner I would have given this property a 5 star review, but I did have to clean the bathtub/shower upon arrival …. The bathroom needed a bit more attention but other than that it was perfect!

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon! We loved staying here. The beach is right across the parking lot just a couple minutes to walk to it! The place itself is so clean and provides everything you would need to stay during the week! We will plan to stay here again!

Family Vacation

My husband and I, along with our children stayed for 3 nights. It was perfect! The room was very clean and well equipped with things we’d need i.e. cofffe pot, pots/pans. The pool was very close and had plenty of chairs to lounge in and the pool was clean. Access to the beach was so close and they had a borrow bin at the entrance full of beach toys to borrow…..my kids loved that and it was very convenient! We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect budget condo

While this condo appears to be across a road, it’s really not a road. More like a parking lot and the beach is easier to access than the big condos right on the water. You can pull right up to your door, no elevator. Pool nearly empty all the time. A lot of bedroom storage for a small place. We left our beach it’s a outside on the porch area. Only downfall you can’t see the ocean from your 1st floor condo but it’s worth the sacrifice for half the price. Has a great blender in the kitchen.

Best little bungalow on the island

It was a perfect spot, great pool facilities, close to the beach the multiple entrances make it easy to enter and exit on both sides of the property. The bungalow is close to all kinds of food and shopping (close within driving distance). It was the perfect spot to rest and relax swim, eat, lay out, and just recharge the batteries. Traded messages with the property owner several times, quick responses. I will definitely be renting this condo, this exact condo again in the near future!

Excellent Stay at Tropical Isle #109

My wife, daughter and I had a wonderful experience with this condo in Okaloosa Island. The unit was very clean and organized upon arrival. Perfect for 2-3 (maybe 4) people, so long as you don't require being right on the beach (which we knew). However, the beautiful beach is accessed easily and and only a couple dozen steps away. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, cups and cooking necessities. Very nice pool on site that didn't seem to get overly crowded. Lastly, condo owner, Gary, was a great communicator and made the check in process a breeze. Thank you so much!

Nice condo, not really suitable for 5

I think this is a very nice condo for a couple to get away. It is listed for 2-5, but 5 was very cramped. There is also only enough bedding for 4. Gary, The owner is super nice guy who will accommodate you if your stay isn’t quite what you expected. I would return with my wife but NOT with my family. Minor updates need to happen to the condo as well, but nothing major.

This was our second visit to Gary’s condo. We had a great time once again and found it difficult to leave. The condo was clean, quiet and comfortable, and the bed was great for my back. Gary is always prompt at responding and allowed us to check in early. The condo is as advertised and the beach is always gorgeous. I will keep coming back.

Beautiful place!

Easy process, clean room, nice features, short walk to the sand, store right next door, private part of the beach that's not over crowded. Only suggestion would be a mattress topper for the bed, it's pretty firm. The room was clean and well stocked with toiletries n pots and pans. Would love to stay again!

We stay on Okaloosa very often. This spot surprised us at how nice and convenient it was. The beach access is directly behind the unit and not crowded at all. Pool was clean. Condo was clean and had ALL of the amenities we needed! We are thankful the owners allowed to use it for vacation. Tom thumb being next door was also very nice. Thanks again

Get away

The property was perfect for 2 people. Plenty of room and right out the backdoor is the beach! How great is that? The only change I would suggest is replace the bedroom curtains with blackout curtains and just put some type of curtain on the front window. For me there was just too much light at night. Other than that, a great place to stay. Thank you very much.

There is a reason it is so inexpensive

Never received check in information like stated would be received. Contacted owner, Mr Gary. He was quick about sending the information. Got a message from VRBO that we could check in early. Arrived 2 hours after text to find cleaning person still in condo with little done. Cleaning overall is surface level. So many built up dusty areas. Area is OK. A LOT of riff raff goes on in the Tom Thumb parking lot. The pool. My kids loved it. Our first 2 days, however, couldn't be used because it was disgusting. Finally a company came along and cleaned it. The pool area is supposed to have hours. However, it is a party haven after dark. It is nicely located near many food options. Stewbys was very good. The walk through the parking lot and across the walk was nice to the beach. The walls are paper thin. You can literally hear everything from the adjoining units. The one to the right liked to play their TV or music especially loud at night. Bring a fan to help drown it out! AC unit can only go down to 68. Inconvenient for those who prefer it cooler...like we do. The unit advertises that it sleeps 5. And that all towels and linens are provided. Sleeps 5 but only 4 towels were left. Laundry is on site, sure. But who wants to pay $3 a day to wash towels so they can shower again? The kitchen is adequately stocked with anything that would be necessary to cook. When the pull out bed is out there is no room to walk through the living room or to the kitchen from the bedroom. And if there are 2 people in the pull out, the one closest to the front door has to climb over the other person in the bed to go to the bathroom. One remote for the two tvs is also an inconvenience. Roaches. Yes, Roaches. The first night we were there they made their appearance in the bathroom. We seriously considered bailing but had prepaid for some expensive excursions. So, we Googled quick ideas and found coffee grounds ward them off. We laid coffee grounds in all normal roach traveled areas. And, slept with all the lights on from then on! We were not the only guests who found roaches during the time we were there. Our son was in the pull and announced that they were found in our unit. A couple that was staying said they too found roaches. Cant be a coincidence. Spent 5 nights after spending 4 at a hotel in the area. Overall, we left wishing we would have extended our stay at the hotel.
