It was the perfect location. Quick access to the beach and restaurants close by. The condo was very clean and decorated very cute. Would definitely go back.
We absolutely loved this condo! Being on the first floor with direct beach access was a total game changer. No stairs, no hassle, just walk right out to the sand. The place was super clean, comfy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The bed was super comfy, the kitchen was well stocked, and you can tell the owners really care about keeping it nice for guests. This was our 3rd stay and we will definitely be back again.
We had a wonderful stay in Fort Walton. The accommodations were clean and the king bed was very comfortable. Communication up to and during our stay was excellent. The hosts were very responsive to our questions and offered recommendations. Great place, great hosts!
We always love staying at this condo and it makes our vacation so much better. It is always clean and has everything we need for our stay. The owners communicate promptly prior to checkin and available if any issues arise. The condo is beautiful and centrally located to lots fun activities. We will only ever stay here as it’s absolutely the best!
The condo was beautifully located, clean and well stocked with dishes, utensils , pots and pans. The owners are very nice and are very responsive. Would absolutely stay again.
We had a fabulous time, condo was perfect, everything you could possibly need! Location was amazing, literally right on the beach! It is close to everything and the recommendations from the owners were perfect, loved Stewbys! We would definitely stay here again!
As always the condo was clean and ready for us. We always enjoy staying here. Easy walk to the beach and great location. The Satterlees have been responsive and great to rent from. To add to our enjoyment - the weather was perfect! We will be back.
Very clean & comfortable, great location, just steps away from the beach and we absolutely loved having a ground floor unit! It made our vacation so much easier! Beautifully decorated and the bed was very comfy! Plenty of room for our family of 4. Absolutely LOVED staying here! We would definitely stay here again!
This will be our forever destination in Fort Walton!! Literally the BEST on every level!!!
I would have to type a book to explain why this place was TOP NOTCH!!!
Maegan!!!!
This is my second stay in this unit and we will definitely stay with Aaron & Jill again. I absolutely love being able to walk right out onto the beach at any time of the day or night. This is the perfect unit for a couple. The unit is exactly as described, it has everything you will need for a short stay at the beach.
Everything was perfect!
Stepped right off the back porch onto the beach! Sunrise every morning at 6:00 AM. Condo was super cute. Very Quiet & private. Checked in early-that was a plus.
We will stay here again! We do make a couple Fla trips a year!
Highly recommended !
Loved the stay! It was exactly as described. Being able to walk out right on the sand was awesome. The wifi wasn't that great had a hard time watching tv. If you don't stay inside that much it won't be an issue for you. Would stay again if we are back in the Ft. Walton area. I will say in previous reviews they stated bring something to wash feet off. That is a must. I didn't and ended up regretting it. Just bring a small bucket fill it with water and keep at back glass door to rinse feet off. Other than that you will love the condo and the area!
I couldn’t have asked for a better vacation property or location. Being able to take a few steps and be on the beach is priceless. It was my fist time in Fort Walton/Okaloosa Island and my daughter and I absolutely loved it. The condo was absolutely perfect. Exactly as described in the listing, very clean and well maintained. The complex was quiet and not crowded. We had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!
I flew to FL with my daughter who was in a wedding 3 resorts down from us. That gave me time to walk in the mornings, hang out on the beach and relax and walk the beach line as the sun set every night. These condos are great because there's only 9 so you have your own beach to lay out on just steps away from your condo. It was everything I expected! Easy check in and check out. I would definitely come back!
What can I say? My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The condo was extremely clean - my wife was happy and she cleans upper upper class homes for a living. The Satterlees were very pleasant to deal with and made things very easy for us. Have stayed at many places on Fort Walton beach but this is probably my favorite. The only burr in my saddle was a neighbor's little dog that barked and howled a lot. Not the Satterlees fault for sure. Still, was an enjoyable trip and the accomodations and location made it all the more so. We will be back.
This is the trip we realized how great it is to be right on the beach!
Our last two experiences in the Destin area proved to be challenging with a hike across busy streets to get access to a beach staircase with even more of a hike to the ocean.
But WOW how great it was to stay in this property and have a short walk to the beach without dealing with road crossings and stairs, especially with young kids!
There are tons of things to do for kids in the area and lots of great restaurants. (Especially SOI Bistro!) Also, there is a lock on the sliding door that our 4 and 6 yo couldn’t reach, so I felt safe about them not getting out to the ocean.
The parking spot is also right in front of the door, so unloading/loading belongings is super easy!
Jill was great, she was easy to reach and provided great recommendations for food and recreation in the area.
We hope to be back next year!!
Wonderful condo! Clean and very comfortable. Tiki is a great location right on the beach. The hosts are responsive if you have questions. Definitely will be back!
Great place, easy access! Bed and pillow aren’t great but that’s personal preference. Can hear every single thing the neighbors do, which leads to some fun times, but overall excellent experience. Communication was great and straight forward. Beach access is perfect and comes with everything you’ll need for a nice relaxing day. Would stay again!

About the host
Hosted by Aaron and Jill Satterlee
It has always been a dream to own a place directly on the beach! We are so happy to be able to share our dream with you. We have spent many October break vacations on Okaloosa Island with family and friends. We found great comfort revisiting Florida's Emerald Coast year after year. We are beach people! We aim to turn our beach vacation experiences into an awesome beach vacation experience for you.
Why they chose this property
First Wave at Tiki Beach Unit 12 is located directly on the beach. It doesn't get any closer than this. So convenient to step our your back door and have your toes in the sand. A beautiful sand dune covered in sea oats enhances your view of the Gulf of Mexico Watch the sea oats sway in the Gulf breeze as you sip your drink from the high top chairs on the patio. No need lugging lunch with you to the beach. It is an easy walk from the condo to the beach to accommodate any beach breaks you'll need.
What makes this property unique
We can't stress enough how this particular building is located so close to the beach. It really doesn't get any better than this. Just steps away from your toes in the sand! This is also a small condominium, which makes for a more quaint, less congested vacation experience.
