Thank you for the review. Not sure what we could have done differently. Hope you didn't turn into a prune by staying in the water the whole time.
We had a great time! Read the full description and reviews so you know what to expect - really helped a ton.

The apartment is really nice and looks just like the pictures! Just a 3 minute walk to the beach with an easy, safe crosswalk to the entrance. It was fully equipped with everything we needed. It is on the smaller side, and it was a little crowded with our family of 5. But overall, we really loved it and would definitely recommend it!

Thank you for the review. This condo is a great value given its location and amenities.
Just as shown. Very clean. Queen bed was comfortable. Twins were not. Very close to beach and many restaurants. Not noisy at all. A lot of steps to carry everything, but that is stated. Needless to say, I got my steps in. 😊 I would stay there again.

Check in was super easy. When we pulled into the parking lot we noticed immediately that the outside wasn’t well maintained. We knew when booking it was a 3rd floor property. The steps up were a bit uneven and few were wobbly. The inside had sticky spots across the floor, (we are a shoes off at the door family so it was very noticeable). We found several wrappers under beds, some dried up food under a chair. There was the tiniest dish soap provided and somehow prior to our stay one had been dropped down the disposal so I spent some time pulling that and the lid that had broken into numerous pieces out of the disposal. The back door didn’t lock but the only way to the balcony would be a ladder. The bathroom and bedding were clean. The space was cozy, my family of 4 had room to spread out. It was nice having a washer/dryer and a beach cart. The location was great! Easy to walk to the beach and restaurants.

It was very easy to book and check in to this property. 2 minute walk to the beach. Can’t wait to come back!!
Allowed us to have family all together for such a special occasion
Lots of personality in this condo!! Clean, quiet and well stocked. My family had a wonderful stay while in town for a wedding. Would definitely recommend for anyone, but make sure you don't mind stairs....there are 33 up to this unit!
The condo was great. Really comfy couch, beds, and pillows! I usually hate pillows at hotels. The rooms were clean and the kitchen was workable without needing to bring any utensils, instruments, etc. very affordable.

Thank you for staying. We are doing our best to provide a good value with gas and food increasing in price.
Thank you for the review. This condo is on the top floor, so I suspect the noise was from outside. Please do report any excessive noise because there is a noise ordinance in Okaloosa County. We would have been happy to take care of it for you.
This was a great place for us to stay! It fit our family of 4 perfectly. The location was close enough to be able to walk to the beach and ice cream. The only thing we would recommend would be to leave more TP- we only had two rolls and ran out during our stay.

Thank you for staying with us. It is standard in this area to provide a starter supply of certain items, of which TP is one. We do not provide an unlimited supply and this is disclosed in our listing and materials.
