Perfect Location for Families

This was the first trip to the beach for my three year old son and 5 year old daughter. The location is absolutely perfect because you can go in and out from the beach as needed. The condo is nice, but very basic. There was not a lot of extraneous stuff for my kids to destroy. It was exactly what we were looking for. The washer and dryer was critical for us. Feedback for property managers - the trash bags provided do not fit the kitchen trash can and they are very thin and fragile. You need at least 20 gallon bags. I wished that we had brought our own. There were times when we had to triple bag the trash because the bags kept falling apart.

Most Wonderful View

Loved the view. This was a girl trip of 80 year old mom and her 2 daughters in their 50's. It was a shopping excursion after some very difficult times. Everything was wonderful although not as easily assessable as I hoped. I would urge owners to invest in some new living room furniture. It is the only reason I would not book again. Completely worn and uncomfortable.

We fell in love with Okaloosa Island!

My husband and I stayed 3 1/2 months mid-December through March 2018 in this condo and it was perfect for us. Rebecca and Shannon were very responsive to any questions or needs. As full-time travelers for over 3 years, I look very closely at responsiveness, WiFi, cooking, view and a nicely decorated unit. This fits the bill. As has been noted before, the view is super and we spent many hours relaxing on the patio, even if we had to bundle up. (The winter was extremely and unseasonably cold!) The patio is snug and is a shelter from most of the wind. Still, we had many sunny and beautiful days. My favorite part was being able to walk 15 minutes down the beach to no buildings or people....just miles of white sand, shells and wildlife. The buildings are low due to air restrictions with Eglin AFB on the other end of the island. A quick drive to Destin brings you to all the shops and restaurants with Okaloosa Island being quiet and more serene. As a cook, I appreciated all the pots and pans and serving pieces. The unit was very clean and well appointed, perfect for couples with young children, too. In the winter the unit is populated with many Snowbirds who are friendly. We even joined the Destin Snowbird Club, with over 2,200 members. It had lively meetings and was a ball! Since it is so close to the beach, we would often take our chairs and pop down for just an hour. Other times we would spend the whole day, keeping a close watch out for the dolphins and pelicans. Beginning in March, two beach chairs and an umbrella are provided, which is a wonderful convenience. Our favorite things were happy hour at Harry T's, Naval Air Museum @ Pensacola with a stop off at Joe Patty's to buy Royal Red shrimp and have beignets, LuLu's (Jimmy Buffet's sister) and McGuires for their lunch specials and beer. Thank you Shannon and Rebecca for your hospitality!

Our favorite place to stay!

This is our second time staying at this condo. It’s hands down our very favorite place to stay! Our boys are already asking us to book again. The condo is nice and clean while also providing all the basic things you need while staying there. The beach is literally right in front of you which is our favorite part. We much prefer Okaloosa island over Destin or PCB. We look forward to our next stay!

This was a well taken care of condo that provided everything we needed for our family of 5! The owners were very responsive and kind. You can’t beat the location as it was directly on the ocean and in a quiet part of the area, which was exactly what we wanted! A perfect week at the beach - we will be back!

Exceeded Expectations

The owners represent and maintain this property very well. The owners are responsive and clear on expectations. Being on the ground floor within 20 feet of parking is a very nice feature in addition to the easy beach access. The location is great. It's close to amenities but just far enough away from Destin to not be crazy. The space is well equipped and comfortable for a family. We stayed for a week over Christmas and I was surprised how quiet it was in general. The only negative is noise from the unit directly above if you are unfortunate to get someone with hyperactive kids and a soccer ball staying there. This is not something that the owners can control but they went out of their way to talk to the owners above to let them know to remind their guests of the quiet hours. We would stay here again for sure.
