Great Location

The location was great, the rental was spacious. The rooftop pool was wonderful. Our unit had a Murphy bed which was a big hit with the kids. The check-in and out process was simple and hassle free. The only mild inconveniences at the time of our visit was the elevator not working for a short time, and the smell of our rental when we first arrived. The staff was responsive and friendly. Overall a great time!

Response from VrboOwner on 16 May 2024

Thank you for your feedback! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us at Gulfside, especially the awesome rooftop pool. We sincerely apologize about the elevator as that is the HOA's responsibility and is unfortunately out of our hands. We hope you come back back and see us, Okaloosa Island awaits you!

Beautiful and clean room, great location.

Me and my husband went to celebrate our anniversary and we had the best time. We wanted to stay in a small condo with not as many people and we were completely satisfied. Easy beach access and the location is great. We were not right in the middle of town, but close enough that everything was easily 5 or so minutes away. Our room was spotless and check-in/check-out was super easy with great instructions. The listing was spot-on accurate and there were no surprises. We also had Alexa equipped in our room and we could ask anything from pool codes to where were the best places to eat. Will stay again!

Much needed relaxing mini vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unit was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a wonderful weekend getaway. It was close to great restaurants and shops. The best part was easy access to the beach and the view from balcony. We were late arrival and our vacation package info was easy to pickup with access code at office. We hope to come back to Ft Walton and stay here again.

No other place on the Gulf Coast provides the combination of luxury and relaxing community feel as OKALOOSA ISLAND in Fort Walton Beach. With its natural beauty, this is truly a place where you can relax and unwind. THANK YOU for your comments on your LATE ARRIVAL check-in, we appreciate you pointing out the ease of which you can collect your info for the evening you arrive, to get you to and into your condo for the evening. Fort Walton provides everything Destin and Panama City do, only at a LESS CROWDED pace. It's great to not have to fight the horrible traffic that backs up sometimes. Your feedback is sincerely appreciated, we hope to have you back again as a repeat guest for another quick weekend getaway, if not longer!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the stay and the condo. It was very clean when we arrived and had everything we needed other than we would have liked more options on the TVs. (although we didn't watch much) The chair and umbrella was a great perk. Loved the roof top pool. The outside of building doors etc could use some painting just as a first impression

Reviewer Comments: The condo was very clean well nicely done the kitchen had everything one would need best of all were the views and the proximity to the beach It was perfect. I have one suggestion. The book with things to do. We didn't find it under the tv stand until the last day. Maybe it would be better displayed on the kitchen table to see when you first come in the condo.

Mini beach get away

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was exactly as advertised. Clean and well stocked. New kitchen coffee makers, plenty of kitchenware and towels. Condo was fantastic. Building has issues!! Elevators only work half the time and will never come to the 7th or 3rd floors. There was an alarm going off loudly in the lobby the entire time we were there. Took pictures and sent to property management several times, no one came out. Lock on pool gate does not always accept codes. Got locked inside pool with other guests. Finally box opened gate.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 April 2025

Thank you for your feedback! We are delighted to hear you enjoyed unit 302. We apologize for the issues you experienced with the building. We did inform the HOA about the alarm but we will reach out to them again with these concerns. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again!
