Host was easy to communicate with! The beds were nice and the sheets were clean. There were lots of clean towels and the separate beach towels were an added bonus. The furniture is nice and clean. The view is amazing! The kitchen had everything we needed.

Very disappointed in the pool. The location and size in particular. Also photos showed a recliner in the master bedroom and there wasn’t one. My husband sleeps in a recliner so he did not have a very good experience. This was one reason I booked this unit.

Awesome beachfront condo!
This condo is in a quieter area of Ft Walton Beach but is right in the gulf. Far enough away from the hustle of Destin but close enough when you’re ready to go to town. The boardwalk at Ft Walton beach is about 2 EASY uncongested miles away with some great restaurants as well. Condo was super clean and comfortable for 4 adults and two 11 year olds.

Vacay
The condo was clean and right on the beach, which was great. It accommodated our family well. The bathtubs/showers do need to be updated . The parking was not that great. We have a full size SUV and weren't able to park in the parking garage due to the tight fit. The pool was small but very clean.

Hated to leave!
Online photos of the condo are beautiful, but it was even better in person. Location was perfect. Loved being able to cook meals in the well-stocked kitchen and enjoy them on the balcony. Impossible to get tired of that view or the sound of the waves at night. As a solo female traveler, safety was very important. I felt very safe and comfortable during my stay. I would absolutely love to bring my family and stay again soon!

Spring break.
My husband and I decided to sneak away for 10 days, found this online and enjoyed the unit. Very clean, very well stocked, had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Location was great as well.
