February stay

Overall it was very clean and property grounds and pool area very well kept. There were a few small issues- curtains off track and difficult to open, ice maker non-functioning non functioning light above DR table and broken recliner in living room. Property management responded quickly to concerns and mentioned they already knew about the issues and were waiting on owner to approve fixing. The location was perfect and we had a lovely time. Would encourage correcting issues in a more timely fashion

Great for families

The property has a great view of the ocean (better to be on the 2nd floor) and is convenient to get to the beach and the pool. Our kids and adults loved it. You are also only a short drive to everything you need and want in Fort Walton Beach and Destin. Make sure you get up early enough (7-9a) to see the dolphins swimming right in front of the property. We took small canoes out to see them at the man made reefs and it was a magical experience!

Quick visit!

We booked this unit for a quick 3-night stay. This property has a great location. 2nd story, so we did not have the noise/traffic of a 1st floor unit. That also means we had a better ocean view. Everything to make it feel like home away from home is available, plus some things you didn't know you needed. Great communication with the property manager. She made it super easy to get in to the unit, provided recommendations for places to eat (Definitely go to Stewby's and Brotula's). We would happily stay in this unit again in the future!

Perfect Summer Vacation

The owners were easily reached when we encountered a small hiccup. It’s was quickly resolved. We did not have a single issue with our condo. We arrive to yummy donuts. The balcony view was absolutely stunning. We spent a lot of time on the balcony when we were not in the beach. The size of the pool was great! Everyone could spread out & there’s were always chairs available. Most condos have small pools & limited seating which leads to crowding. We will be back next year!!

Relaxing Family Vacation

This was our first trip to the Fort Walton/Destin area and we loved every minute of it. The Condo was beautifully decorated, well maintained, and very spacious. Our daughters (13 & 10) loved the beach and the pools. It was great having the heated pool during the 3rd week of October since it was a little chilly at night and in the mornings. The view is perfect from the balcony. We did have most of our meals in the condo and the kitchen was well equipped. We even cooked out on the grill one night. The Grocery store is not far down the street. Also it is a very short drive to Destin to Harbor walk and many restaurants. It was a perfect getaway for Fall Break.
