🌴 Off-Season Value (November–February) SNOWBIRDS
November through February is our off-season, offering quieter beaches, cooler weather, and our lowest rates of the year. Guests interested in extended winter stays are welcome to ask about special monthly snowbird pricing. During this time, associations and owners may schedule routine maintenance, updates and improvements, so there may occasionally be nearby daytime noise between November 1 and February 28. Our reduced seasonal rates reflect this possibility.

Reviewer Comments:
Great location. Within minutes to wonderful restaurants. Walk right out to the beach and loved the extra chairs, towels and cooler provided by owners, in addition to the beach service that is included.
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.

Lisa,
We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. We look forward to seeing you back here again!
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!

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We do strive for five and will see what we can do to take care of the flaws.
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.

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.

Reviewer Comments:
My husband and I had a mini vacation and stayed in 1505. The unit was very clean but there were some things that were outdated and small things that could have been done before we stayed. The table outside did not sit down on all four legs and one of the chairs was broken. My husband almost busted his tail. The screen door was broken and when we came up one afternoon it had blown down. There were blown light bulbs and about 3 out of the 4 clocks in the unit did not work and needed batteries. My biggest concern was one of the elevators kept acting funny. One of the men we ran into staying there said he had reported it. Well my husband and I got stuck on the thing. It got stuck between the floors. It did not work right since and no one ever put an out of order sign up or anything. Lastly, we had a major water leak in our room but I will say the maintenance man was there within an hour and got it fixed. We did enjoy our eventful stay but needs updating!
