Beautiful view of the Gulf. The unit and property were very clean. We loved our stay. The host quickly provided linens for the fold out couch when I notified they were not in the unit. Highly recommend.

Okaloosa Island Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo as a whole is fine. A few basics are missing from the kitchen (a pitcher, for instance), the balcony furniture cushions are worn out and stained, cushions in the dining chairs are flat, and the TV in the master bedroom will only play one channel. Minor things that should be addressed, but didn't keep us from enjoying our week at the beach.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 September 2023
Thank you for your review. I will pass these concerns along to the appropriate party. We appreciate you letting us know. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and the beautiful beach! Look forward to hosting you again!
