Excellent vacation rental. Floor level is good, although i kinda missed being higher up to get a better view of the ocean, also not alot of privacy being right next to the pool but we already knew that. Pool was a blast, and loved being so close to everything. Recommend Atiago skillet for breakfast... so good! Cute condo , nicely decorated and everything you need to cook a meal in the room. Will be back next year.
Loved being on the ground floor with easy access to the pool and beach. The views are fantastic! The condo was clean and offered a full kitchen and extra beach towels. We had a great stay!
We visit the island often and this unit had all the things needed for a relaxing and successful stay! Right on the water, walk out back patio to the pool, and beach chairs and umbrella were included!
We had the best time! Everything was as described! The simplicity of the pool being outside the door was top tier! The kids had a blast and we did too!
We enjoyed our stay very much! The check-in process was very easy as well as the check-out. The condo was very attractive with a cool beach vibe. The location was perfect and really enjoyed the included beach umbrella/chairs service. There were 2 pools which was nice for the kids. Also, having a full kitchen in the condo was an added plus. Overall, we had a great time!
This was an amazingly clean and beautiful condo. The pools were fantastic as well as the short walk to the beach. Local eating establishments had great tasting fresh seafood. Would definitely recommend for the peace and quiet and not a lot of traffic. We had a very relaxing time!
We love Ft. Walton and love staying at Waters Edge. This stay was no exception. Our room was clean and the owners are very responsive.
The room is on the first floor and right next to the pool making in extremely convenient with little ones. Would definitely recommend staying here!
We had a few things we needed to communicate with the hosts on they were always very quick to respond.The properly was on the first floor right outside the pool. Our family enjoys this location due to our children and easy access to the pool and beach. The properly was well appointed, even had a bunch of beach toys for the kids. There is also beach service included with room with is always a plus.The overall location is perfect and close to many very good local restaurants. It is also very close to Dentin and all it has to offer without having to deal with all the traffic.Overall we really enjoyed our stay, the property, the location, and the unit. Would definitely stay again.,
Overall our stay here was great! We loved the easy access to the pool, and the short walkover to the beach, and the parking garage! The condo is wonderful overall. The condo itself needs some updating. The cleaners need to do a better job of thoroughly cleaning the unit. I know it's impossible to get rid of all the sand but we could still feel it on the floors when we arrived. There was quite a bit of dust on top of the dresser in the bedroom. The showers need a deep clean (that or updated). The smoke detector batteries went dead the second day and owners and maintenance quickly got this fixed. We would stay here again!!
Our Okaloosa Island stay was great! We loved being on the ground floor with the pool right outside our room! Our family of five fit perfectly in this condo, with our 6 and 4 year olds on the bunk beds and our 8 month old in the room with us. Our kids enjoyed the sand toys and boogie boards that were in the closet. I wish I could’ve given an overall 5 star review, but with a crawling baby, it was hard not to notice that the place hadn’t had a DEEP clean in a while. Our crawler found lots of “goodies” under tables, couches, and beds. However; this didn’t stop us from enjoying our stay, and we hope to be back next year!
Love the close proximity to the parking garage, the pool, the beach! Noise didn't seem to cause any issues for us with the pool or walkways. Could have been a little cleaner, and the TV in the living room really needs a Roku device, or should be a smart tv. That would solve a lot of issues with wasting time on trying to figure it out. But wouldn't deter us from staying again. Absolutely met our needs and was super comfortable. Kids loved the bunk beds and they weren't tiny either. Nice sized. Having 2 bathrooms was perfect. All in all great place, I don't think you will be disappointed staying there.
I really enjoyed this property. The grills were excellent, the pools were clean, and the ocean view was great. My only complaints are that the garbage disposal didn’t work, the cleaners didn’t leave us any garbage bags besides two and two rolls of toilet paper. For a 7 day stay they should leave more than two of everything. Also, I hated the TV setup. They had 3 remotes and it took a few days to figure it out, but overall, we will definitely be back and would stay at this unit again. I loved the bulletin board with restaurants and things to do in the area. That was very cool!
I would also like to highlight the owners were awesome and very responsive.
Thank you for letting us stay we really enjoyed your property.
This property was perfectly set up for me and my 2 small children!! Parking was close to the door! No elevator or steps needed to enter this unit!!! The patio is steps from the pool. You could sit on the patio and watch your small children swimming in the pool. It is also steps from the beach which is perfect!!! All in all this unit is a great spot!!!
Drawbacks of this unit, it needs a tremendous amount of updating all of the appliances are very old and don’t work all that well. The company that is cleaning this unit does a very very very poor job!!!!
However the location of this unit helped me overlook of those issues while vacationing there.
The host is very friendly! The pool is AMAZING! I had a hard time getting my kids out of the pool to go to the beach. You have to get up really early and on the beach to get chairs and an umbrella. We went out by 9 each morning and almost all of them were taken up. The guys running the beach items were super friendly. My only complaint would be that the WiFi was absolutely horrible. I even bought a hotspot through Cox and wasted $20 because it was awful too. Also note if you have a family of six you will be washing and drying clothes day and night. The washer and dryer is tiny! The stay was amazing even with the WiFi and washing/drying issues. I loved that we were ground level. I picked this condo just for that reason. My 8 year old is autistic and has sensory issues to light. It was so easy to just get out of the pool and go right in to the condo before he would have a melt down.

Regrettably disappointed
We have been coming to the Fort Walton Beach for many years and this unit was very disappointing.It was not clean, the air conditioning was not comfortable, it did get down to the temp that we set it at but it still felt hot. My husband pulled the filter out and it was coated with thick dust. The couches were stained and not comfortable. The remote in the living room did not change channels. The bed was very uncomfortable. The dishes were put away dirty. We don’t like to leave reviews like this but this unit needs attention and if we owned this I would want to know We treat the units we stay in like it’s our home. We rented two units and the other unit was perfect. The property managers were amazing to let us know that we could check in early, which we did at 1 pm. We were very grateful for that.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for your review. We’re glad you liked the early check-in. However, we’re confused as to why you didn’t reach out about any of the issues you mentioned during your stay. It would’ve been helpful to know so we could’ve fixed it right away. ALL these are things we could’ve handled easily if you had communicated with us during your stay.
It’s a bit frustrating to hear about problems like the dusty filter, dirty dishes, and uncomfortable furniture after the fact when they could’ve been resolved on the spot. We do our best to ensure everything is in working order, but we can’t do that if guests don’t bring issues to our attention while they’re here.
We appreciate your feedback, but next time, please let a unit owner know about any concerns while you’re here so they can fix them for you.
