Reviewer Comments:
my friend and I really enjoyed the location of our condo.. We loved sitting on the enclosed balcony, hearing the roaring ocean, watching the sea birds,surfers and more! Thanks to the fully equipped kitchen we were able to prepare breakfast and lunch, giving us more time to enjoy the beach, swimming pool and hot tub. Sunsets over the ocean were spectacular!We enjoyed a variety of local resturants for Dinner.

Reviewer Comments:
I decided to do a last-minute beach trip, the VRBO pickings were slim so I was so surprised when I arrived at such a clean, well-maintained condo front and center on the gulf. The property is in a great location quiet- less crowds on the beach but right around the corner from 98 and everything you could want to do. The unit is very well maintained with plenty of kitchen tools if you want to cook, the furniture is comfortable in good condition, the layout would work great for a small family and there are lots of games/puzzles for family time off the sand. When I arrived I noticed that the living room ceiling was a little discolored and needed to be painted but the rest of the place was immaculate so I gave it 5 stars for cleanliness. For a last-minute booking this was one of the top 5 condos I have rented in the pan-handle and I have been coming down here for 20+ years.
Condo was great, bed was comfortable, with plenty of hangers for your clothes. It does have a Keurig which wasn’t listed on the amenities. The manager, Jessie, was very friendly and welcoming. The beach service guys were very nice and accommodating.
My only complaint is the noise from the pool below the balcony. We could not enjoy the balcony like we normally do which is the main reason we wanted a condo with a balcony. If you don’t have kids I don’t recommend staying here in the summer time when school is out. The pool is right under the balcony and the noise when we arrived was ridiculous. Kids were screaming at the top of their lungs for hours. After our very long travel day it was frustrating, they could even be heard all the way into the bedroom on the other side of the condo. Other than that everything else was great.
This condo is in a great location on the beach within walking distance to several restaurants! We really appreciated that this rental included a beach umbrella and 2 beach chairs that were set up each morning on the beach for us! What more could you want!!
We enjoyed our visit very much, the condo was equipped with everything we needed! The only thing I was surprised and was a bit of inconvenience for us was the bathroom. It’s a jack and Jill style bathroom toilet and sink on either side and shower in the middle with locking doors in between! Doors were constantly being locked and then having to walk around the whole condo to try and get them unlocked and with teenagers hated the fact that when someone was in the shower another person could use the toilet even though there are locking doors separating them.
Condo was clean. Great location. Parking for a specific condo was a tad irritating. No indication of a numberd spot. We found our though. It would be nice to know if the specific unit has specific parking. This was the case for several people we talked to. Other than that it was amazing. Will definitely stay here again.

Reviewer Comments:
Place was very clean everything was kept very neat and tidy. Great location and covered parking with the unit was a definite plus. Would definitely stay here again.
If you are looking for a smoke free balcony to view the gulf,keep looking. This place is a smoke filled free for all. You could never use the hot tub because it is always being used as a kiddie pool full of 6 or 7 kids almost constantly. No one there to monitor the rules. We have been to Destin/Fort Walton area over a dozen times. This was by far our worst experience. The management plays both sides of the fence in the rules. Acts to us like smoking is unacceptable but then tells the smokers it would be fine if not for us complainers. Look for another place to stay!

Reviewer Comments:
Rounded balcony with an amazing view. Great area, I felt super safe. Very clean. Perfect amount of space for 3 adults and 3 kids. The child safety lock on the sliding door was screwed in and out of my kids reach, which was a huge relief and something the other units didn't have.I would consider bringing your own toiletries. They did provide bar soaps and dish washing powder, but no shampoo, conditioner, or actual dish soap/sponges.If you have small ones, I'd suggest packing plastic cups and plates for them. There was plenty of dishware, but it was all glass/ceramic.

Our condo was beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean and the view from the balcony could not be beat; Just steps from the sandy beach. Conveniently located to wonderful restaurants and other attractions, so there was always something to do. our favorite restaurants were The Shack, Stewbys, The Gulf, and Fokkers Pub.I would Highly recommend staying in the condo. And also using Sugar Sands for your vacation needs.
Building still under cosmetic surgery but impressive results with real provisions for customer safety

This was the perfect condo!! We could not have asked for better. The pool and hot tub were perfect!! Everything was clean and it was close to several good restaurants. There are plenty of things to do in the area. It was the most clear water we have ever seen. We will be back!!!

Reviewer Comments:
The view from the balcony is breath taking. The location is perfect. The condo and was exceptional.
I can’t rave enough about this property and this location, Fort Walton Beach sand is like sugar, clean, silky, smooth, and the beaches were not crowded at all. The condo was clean, roomie, and had everything we needed, including great views of the ocean. Would stay here again 100%
The condo is very clean and well stiocked. The balcony is right above the pool and there is not much privacy and you can hear everything. You can hear every footstep and chair moved above you at night so i would recommend staying on the top floor if you are a light sleeper. You have to use the code to get into the pool and another door code to get beach access. Its a good saftey measure but its also hard to maneuver and there are steps up to the beach walk and stairs down so if you have a cart it is a struggle. The guests were all nice and everyone held the gates open to assist each other. The chairs on the beach are included but only at the back at the beach. If you want a beach chair at the front by the ocean you have to pay each day to reserve them. That was not explained.
We loved the location of this rental. It's close to Destin that you can go over to restaurants, but far enough away that it is not as crowded. We loved having beach chairs and an umbrella included everyday, it really made a big difference. The condo is clean and well equipped. The balcony renovations to this unit were finished so we were able to use the balcony. Over all would recommend and would definitely stay here again.
We had a great time. The condo was lovely. The view is incredible. The accommodations were just as they promised, excellent communication with the property manager, and the perfect location. Would definitely come back and rent this unit again. Highly recommend!!!
