About this property

Pet friendly on the beach in uncrowded building

2nd floor 2BR/2BA Gulf front, common access balcony/walkway facing the beach, WiFi. This lovely two Bedroom condo with WiFi, directly on the beach, is located on Okaloosa Island, which is between Fort Walton Beach and Destin.
Sleeps 6 with a maximum occupancy of 6.

It is the best vacation destination for the family, golfer, shopper or fisherman. There are no high rises in sight, as nothing over 7 stories is allowed on Okaloosa. This building has a mere 24 units, and plenty of waterfront. It is never crowded, making it simply paradise! Many people say that these are the most beautiful beaches that they have ever seen. Television, surveys and magazines rate the Emerald Coast among the top ten in the world for its beautifully colored waters and sand as white as snow. Your can watch the dolphins jumping less than 100 yards away from the walkway balcony outside your front door! Need more units; ask us about our others.

Sample pet agreement:
Pet Policy and Pet Agreement Aqua Villa Condominium

We will permit renters to bring dogs to our unit, provided that the following Aqua Villa Rules and Regulations are strictly observed. There are owners living here that want desperately to ban pets forever, so please follow these rules, so they don’t have any more reason to force this to happen.
PROHIBITED BREEDS: Chow Chow, German Shepard, Pit Bull (or mix), Presa Canarios, Rottweiler.

No pet is allowed to defecate or urinate on any portion of the lawn or other common areas of the condominium property, even if the contamination is subsequently removed. Renters and owners must take pets off the Aqua Villa property for the pets to relieve themselves. A cleanup bag and cleaning materials must be used to pick up all waste and the bag disposed of properly in the Aqua Villa trash dumpster on the northeast edge of the property.

Pets left alone in the condo unit while the pet owners are away must be quiet. Incessant barking in a unit is disturbing to all guests. If your dog is expected to bark while you are away, we suggest you kennel your dog in the back bedroom where there is less visible activity to excite your dog, or muzzle it. Pets must be current on rabies shots, and flea/tick medications.

Local ordinances and condominium rules that prohibit dogs on the beach, in the pool, on the pool deck, in the elevator and on the parking lot must be observed. The beach rules are enforced by local authorities and hefty fines are imposed if pets are found on the beach. Try dog-friendly Liza Jackson Park on the bay, 388 Miracle Strip Pkwy SW, Ft. Walton Beach.

Pets are allowed on the Association common areas only while they are being escorted to or from a condo unit. At this time they must be under positive control, either on a leash or hand held. They are NOT allowed in or around the pool. They are NOT allowed in the elevator, unless CARRIED by their handler.

Pet owners carry the full responsibility for the behavior of their pets, and may be fined for violations. Pets may be removed from the premises if the pet owner is advised by the condo unit owner, the Association manager and/or the Board of Directors that their pet is:
a. In violations of the pet rules
b. Annoying in any way to other guests including barking within the unit
c. Threatening to other guests or residents

We have made minor changes in these rules to accommodate our particular circumstances. They do not change the essence of the Aqua Villa Condominium Association rules. Please read this agreement, sign it, and return it with your signed rental contract. Thank you.

I have read this information, and agree to abide by these rules.

Nice condo with plenty of room. Had everything you need. Nice location with everything very close. Only downside was no screen on living room window so couldn’t leave it open to listen to the waves. Seems like this condo was the only one on the beach without private balcony to relax and enjoy the view.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 June 2024
We are glad you enjoyed our lovely little building, still standing proud after close to 50 years. The HOA is renovating one big item every year to keep the building up. In the next few months, they plan to replace the elevator. The advantage to being one of the first buildings on the island is that we are smaller and quieter than the newer/larger high rises, and you won't find any buildings allowed to build any closer to the water than they allowed back in the day. Come again soon!

Vacay 2021

A few issues with the condo: dark due to some outlets inoperable so some lamps could not be turned on, beach chairs and umbrella could probably be replaced, would of been really nice to have a private balcony, having to walk pet across the street to do his business. Good: beachfront, quiet, big condo for two, comfy and relaxing. Overall, we really did enjoy our stay and short vacay in Ft Walton Beach!
Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2021
Response from VrboOwner on 27 November 2021
In the future, please let us know if you have any issues during your stay. The outlets are controlled by light switches on the wall ... which must be on for the outlets/lamps to work. We are happy to replace the beach chairs and umbrella if they are not in good working condition. Most people walk their pets just as far as the corner of the parking lot, but the safe side streets around this building do allow more room to stretch their legs. Thanks for the feedback.

Another amazing stay

The 1st 2 days we had double red flags. Rest of the time it was beautiful. We enjoyed the beach. The condo has an umbrella and chairs but we brought a tent and our own chairs. The condo was well stocked with all the dishes you need. It was very clean the grounds were very well kept. The pool was nice and we spent some of the time there. Everyone was really friendly. This is the 2nd time we stayed in this condo and it has been updated from the 1st time. There is a rental company if you want to rent chairs and umbrellas.

Nicely Decorated

The place felt safe, and the community was quiet. It was in a nice location. Communication with the property manager was excellent. We would stay here again! The carpets in the bedrooms could use some cleaning. Rather, I'd like to see them replaced with tile throughout the home. There is no entrance to the rooms from the front ofthe building. All rooms open on the back side. There are luggage carts by the elevator which were helpful. Overall, this is a more than decent place to stay. Amenities were ample!

The building is old and it and he unit has not been well maintained. Large cleaning fees are charged to renters, but the unit was not well cleaned. There was dust everywhere and the shower was moldy. Windows were not clean and one had a huge piece of tape over it which made me think that it was broken. Otherwise, the location was quite good!

Great view and pool, old unit

Pros: gorgeous view of the beach from 2nd floor and higher. Clean, large pool with many floats. Clean unit exactly as pictured. CONS: parking, remembering the KEY to condo, short child-size toilets, very low furniture (hard to get up for older crowd!), listed as pet friendly BUT you have to carry pets to staircase, down the flights, past the pool, thru a locked gate, out of the building, across the street - and then sit down the dog! Nuts! Large grass area at the complex that no one uses - I don’t understand why they don’t allow pets to potty there!!

We're glad you enjoyed your stay. Sorry about the pet rules, but that's out of our hands. We're about the only building left that still allows guest pets. We're hanging on to this privilege by our fingernails. All it will take is a vote of the homeowners to ban pets, and then there will be no guest pets at all. The building rules are there to try to appease the non-pet tolerant owners by keeping the pets away from their common areas (pool, grassy areas, etc.). On a positive note, once you get used to walking your pet offsite, which isn't really very far, it gets pretty easy. Thanks for the feedback.

We're glad you enjoyed the area. We wish you had told us about those other items during your stay. If we are aware of leaks, broken blinds, cleaning issues, missing soap or pot holders, we have them addressed immediately. We'll check these items ASAP as well as the rug and lock box to see if they need replacement. The furniture does get cleaned routinely, but the actual fabric color looked faded even when it was new.

Terrible

We arrived and there was no ac it was 75 degreees in the condo we went 3 1/2 days like that and I tried to message someone and it took forever to reply to me! Finally someone came to check ac and guess it need to be replaced and was told we were going to get a portable unit after some miscommunication we finally got a portable ac unit. I messaged asking if I could get part of a refund for the issues we had with no ac and how hot and sticky it was in the condo and they told me that per the policy there is no refund they can give me and sent me a link to what the weather was the week we were there saying it was mild weather when it was about 80 every day!!!!! Terrible customer service! Will never stay at a condo here at aqua villa managed by sv management! They did offer me $50 for road snacks!!! But when I’m paying close to $2,000 I better have ac when I get there!!
Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 22 May 2024
This guest emailed us about the AC not cooling on Saturday night. We replied Sunday morning, and sent our manager (who lives in this same building and is available 24-7) to make sure they had fans until we could get a technician to the unit. We found a technician to respond that same day ... on a Sunday ... who added freon to get the AC working again, and ordered a new HVAC system (and began scheduling a crane for the job). This guest already started demanding refunds at this point, and continued to do so throughout their stay. The guest contacted us again Monday evening and told us the AC was dying again. We got a portable unit installed on Tuesday. Sometimes things break, but fortunately this occurred during mild spring-time temperatures. In the time from Saturday night, until Tuesday afternoon, the temperatures peaked at a high of 76, and a low of 71. We feel we responded quickly and did everything we could to make the guest comfortable and to get the AC system replaced ASAP. For having to be without AC for two evenings, with the outside air in the low 70s, we thought it was appropriate to give them $50 for their trouble, even though we knew they wanted much more and would leave us a terrible review in return. We want our guests to be happy, but sometimes we just can't give them everything they want.

Nice older condo.

We stayed in aqua Villa unit 205. My hubby, my dad, my son and myself . Awesome location, that is first choice on our condo list wants, second on that list is a balcony there was no private balcony but my dad was able to sit outside our door anyway as we were second to the end and unit 206 was able to go down the stairs without passing my dad. Price is our third choice on our Vaca list. Great price for what you get. We always love to support our vets. They are Americas Best. 2 bedrooms with guest room providing 2 twin beds , master bedroom with California King bed, and a pull out sofa. Fourth on our list is A/C and we had that, fifth is ocean view and condo IS right on the ocean. Lastly we look for payment plan to make monthly payments, this in itself maybe the first actually. Lol , anyway we stayed Sept 25th to the 29th 2022. Weather was amazing at 85 to 90 degrees. Even though hurricane Ian was hitting Tampa and other southern cities we only had one red flag for ocean swimming last 2 days there. Though building is older, we seen no bugs, no mold, and everything worked fine. The only minor complaint is the lock box to get in. It is so hard to pull down to retrieve two keys and is high on the door, hard to see if someone is short. So we say thank you to Rick as we West Virginia hillbillies had a great time with great memories. We will be back next year to stay here.

Pets are allowed on the Association common areas only while they are being escorted to or from a condo unit. At this time they must be under positive control, either on a leash or hand held. They are NOT allowed in or around the pool. They are NOT allowed in the elevator, unless CARRIED by their handler.

Pet owners carry the full responsibility for the behavior of their pets, and may be fined for violations. Pets may be removed from the premises if the pet owner is advised by the condo unit owner, the Association manager and/or the Board of Directors that their pet is:
a. In violations of the pet rules
b. Annoying in any way to other guests including barking within the unit
c. Threatening to other guests or residents

We have made minor changes in these rules to accommodate our particular circumstances. They do not change the essence of the Aqua Villa Condominium Association rules.
