Great condo!

This was a great condo! Perfect location and beautiful views from the balcony. The bed and sofa were very comfortable. The only issue we had was that the stove top took forever to heat things up, but we only used it once. I loved the free beach service of an umbrella and 2 chairs. I would definitely rent this condo again!

Loved it!!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay . Fully equipped with everything you need and prior emails and communication before we arrived had all the info so i knew exactly what to pack. Location was directly on the beach. Our view was breathtaking. Never had an issue with noise. For two people this was ideal. It would get a little tight if u added anymore. But it is do-able with kids. We would absolutely stay here again for the location to the beach and proximity to Destin and surrounding establishments.

Attention home owner

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 sliding glass door off the living room needs replaced. Maintenance sprayed the track but didn't help. The mattress has a hump in the middle. I flipped it, and was not better. The living room needs a chair. The ice machine was a huge success, we loved.

It was a nice condo. It had good views of the gulf. The included beach chairs/umbrella were a wonderful perk. The front staff was great. Had an issue with the door lock and it was addressed quickly. It was my wife and I first trip to Florida/Alabama gulf coast. After touring from Gulf Shores to Miramar beach, Ft Walton felt less busy than Gulf Shores and Destin. As we like to explore and driving an hour or more is the norm, the location made it great to kind of home base from.
