Beautiful and amazing!

We had an amazing family vacation. The condo was beautiful, clean, and equipped with everything we needed. The wagon with all the beach chairs and toys was an added touch to our stay. The resort was absolutely amazing, we loved the lazy river and access to the beach. Location is great and within walking distance to fun attractions. I highly recommend staying here.

Definitely 5-Stars!

A beautiful condo with breathtaking views of the sunrise. The kitchen is well stocked. The condo is conveniently located near the grills. We visit Fort Walton every year and will definitely rent this condo again. Our favorite dining spots are Boshamps, McGuire's and Stewby's.

Awesome beach vacation

We had such a great time at this place! It was located near so many great restaurants and activities to do. Plus the bridge across the highway to the beach was so nice to have. We even enjoyed the pool/lazy river quite a bit for being lazy after beach days! We’d love to come back.

Wonderful Stay

The ease of renting, arriving and leaving was the best I’ve ever experienced. The location was great, beautiful views, easy walk to beach. Location was convenient to everything. Nice restaurant right next door. A little hard to get out of the complex due to the traffic, almost need a traffic light. Loved our stay.
