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!!

The condo met all of our needs and was the perfect proximity to the pool and beach (which was great with our small children in tow!) Everything was very clean. We went during a busy holiday week, yet none of the amenities were overcrowded. We had a great time!

Excellent vacation—Excellent place to stay
This was the perfect location for our family and we had a wonderful time! The property manager was excellent and got back with me on any questions quickly and throughly. She even took the time to help me add an extra night to our stay when I was having trouble!! We did have a little trouble with our code getting in but called the number available and we were in the room within 5 mins. We even had a box of delicious Okaloosa Donut in our room when we arrived.... our kiddos were soooo excited!! 😁 The room was clean and was fully furnished with everything we would need. They even had a high chair and pack and play in the closet for our little who was one and beach toys and chairs for us to use on the beach!! We highly recommend and are considering returning to the same place again next year!! 😁 Thank you so much!

We had a fantastic time during our 3 week stay! The kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was really comfortable. The condo was super clean. The entire condo complex was very well cared for. While we didn’t swim in the heated pool, lots of people used it! I think our favorite thing to do at the condo was sitting out on the patio, rain or shine. We appreciated sand toys and beach chairs that were in the condo for us to use. And, of course, the donuts left for us when we arrived were a yummy treat! We have stayed in many condos in FWB over the years and this was definitely our favorite! Highly recommend! We will be back!

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!
