Overall it was a great condo, the location on the beach was perfect, the only issue was the parking situation was a bit misleading only 1 parking for the entire condo which is frustrating because the condo fits more than a cars room of people. The ancillary parking was 20 minutes away! The host was great and very responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Ronald Daugherty

Host profile image

We are a military family and I started my career at Eglin AFB, FL. I've loved the beach since then. We purchased the condo to enjoy personally and to share with others.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this property after walking on the balcony. You can see the water and hear the waves. Island Sunrise is a small complex with 60 units and has an elevator.

What makes this property unique

The complex has a covered patio with swings and chaise loungers. Three grills are available to cook your favorite barbecue. The pool provides fun for the kids and adults. Walk right across the boardwalk and your toes will be in the sand.
