PROPERTY DETAILS

ENTRANCE
The 1st floor condo has its own private entrance and sidewalk. No stairs to climb or crowded elevators to wait on, making unloading luggage and groceries quick and easy.
You’ll have your own numbered parking space right in front of the condo and near the door. There’s also extra unassigned parking for your guests.
Keyless entry makes for a safe and convenient entrance. No keys to keep up with and return at the end of your stay.

PATIO and OUTSIDE LIVING
Step outside onto your own large private patio with beautiful Polywood furniture. Enjoy a quiet early morning cup of coffee or a relaxing nap on the warm sun. If grilling is your pleasure, you've come to the right place. Pull the Weber grill onto the large grassy area and have your own cookout preparing steaks, burgers, or fresh seafood from the local seafood markets. Plenty of space for your little ones to run and play on the lawn while you relax on the patio. You can also store any extra Beach gear here instead of having to store it in your condo or car.

LIVING and DINING AREAS
The roomy light filled open living area has a queen size Cozy sofa sleeper, two recliners, ceiling fan, and entertainment center with HDTV and DVD player. The adjacent dining area has comfortable seating for four at the Mennonite-Crafted drop leaf table as well as extra seating at the social bar.

KITCHEN and LAUNDRY
The full kitchen is well stocked with everything you might need to prepare meals if you should choose to cook. You’ll enjoy the stainless appliances including a smooth top stove with convection oven. The microwave is full size - not one of the small countertop models. The dishwasher is so quiet you often won’t even know it’s on! The refrigerator is large enough for all your storage needs and comes complete with an ice maker. Small appliances include a Ninja blender, Keurig, Mr. Coffee 12 cup coffee maker, Crock Pot, and toaster. The kitchen lighting is new and features motion sensitive under counter lighting to fully illuminate the beautiful granite counter tops. The open view into the living/dining area and to the outside patio makes sure the cook doesn’t miss out on conversation or activities.
The adjacent laundry closet has a louvered door which gives convenient easy access to the full size LG washer and dryer.

MASTER BEDROOM and HALF BATH
The serene master bedroom hosts a comfortable king size bed with silky smooth sheets. It also includes an HDTV, DVD player, radio alarm clock, ceiling fan, plenty of closet space, and an attached private half bath. The large window lets in welcome natural light but is also equipped with a black out Levolor blind for those who want to sleep in or nap. (After all, you’re on vacation!)

FULL BATH
A full bath with tub and shower is centrally located in the condo just off the hallway. The curved shower curtain rod makes for a more roomy shower. We have new towels as well as a new water heater for plenty of hot water.

*Two extra beach chairs for early morning sunrise or evening sunset viewing and relaxing are located in the master bedroom closet.
*For those who prefer grilling next to the pool there is a grassy grilling area with several grills and picnic tables.
* We have a bike rack for those who bring their own bikes or rent bikes. it is located just across the parking lot from our condo.

Little Slice of Heaven

The condo was wonderful. It has a charming beach cottage vibe. The condo was very clean and nicely decorated. We had everything we needed and more. Our son was in another condo and kept coming down to ours and admiring it. Can’t say enough good things about Judy as a host. She is great to work with. The beach is a very short walk from the condo. It made things much easier for my husband who has difficulty walking long distances due to a stroke and neuropathy.The beach is absolutely beautiful. Restaurants and a grocery store are a short drive away. We enjoyed our stay so much. Highly recommend this condo.

Great vacation

My spouse, myself and our three year old had a great and relaxing vacation. I loved the personal touch of children’s movies and books in the condo. Very close access to the beach and the bottom corner unit gave a sense of privacy. Judy was very kind, caring and communicative about the stay! We would book again.

Great Vacation

My family loved the location. Walk out the back door and you’re only a few steps away from the beach. The kids loved the ability to do beach and pool. The smaller complex made the beaches less crowded and it was always nice to have a couple of beach chairs and umbrella already up and ready to go. Would definitely stay here again.

Great place for small family

The condo was a great size for our family, two adults w youngest son. Quick access to beach which was clean and had chair service. We enjoyed the pool, clean and convenient. Owner checked in on us by text and phone to ensure we were happy with place. Only down side might be that it would be a long walk to get to restaurants. We knew that ahead of time tho. We would stay here again!

Perfection!!!

This was the most beautiful, clean, organized, and well thought out condo I’ve ever stayed in. I will always rent this condo when we travel to Fort Walton!

Helpful hints and advice were supplied to make your stay as amazing as possible!! Loved it!!!! Can’t wait til our next visit!!! Thanks Judy for sharing your special beach home with us!

Only choice from now on!

Property was amazing. 109 ( bottom floor) is the unit to get in this building. 5-6 steps from parking spot to room door. 10 steps to beach access out of the back door! Unit was clean, and as advertised. It’s far enough down Santa Rosa Blvd so you aren’t bothered by traffic noises, loud music, etc. Judy made sure we were taken care of from the minute we booked. Unit looked fresh and new! Can’t wait to go back.

Great Beach Experience

We found the condo to be decorated in a very warm beach-themed decor. If you want to be on a great beach, this is the place to stay! We appreciated having the beach just a few steps out the front door. We enjoy preparing many of our own meals and this was the most completely equipped kitchen we have ever found in a VRBO. The owner was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. Would like to stay again if the opportunity presents itself.

Beautiful property

We prefer to stay in places that are "not high rise". Judy's unit was beautiful. First floor...kind of a must for us (our regular home is zero entrance) and we loved that this home has no steps to get in the front door! The complex was very quiet. Beautiful patio furniture (a must for us "snowbirds"). All inside furniture comfy and beautiful. Building is small enough that we actually got to know several of the other people there...again a plus for us. Beautiful kitchen, all necessary kitchen needs (and thank goodness a Keurig coffee maker!). Condo was very clean and welcoming! Judy is SUCH a sweet lady! She made very sure that we knew about good restaurants, things to do, etc. We very much enjoyed our time here!

Great location with an amazing host

This condo is a great location for our family since not all of us prefer to spend hours at the beach. You literally walk out the door, around to the other side of the building, over the sand dune to claim your chairs for the day. Everything was perfect on our trip! The condo is very well equipped. The kitchen has newer appliances that worked perfectly. The bed is super comfortable. I slept like a baby every night. Judy was an amazing and attentive host. She was quick to communicate with us about some ongoing construction on the condo. I do wish we would have had access to the patio, but that was no fault of the host. Judy also made some great suggestion of places to eat. We ordered and picked up some delicious snow crab legs from Stewby's. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back another time.

Hi! We are Judy and Chris Burcham. We are parents and grandparents who love spending time with our family - especially at our condo! It is truly a dream come true for me. Since I first saw the ocean over 55 years ago I knew I wanted a place at the beach. We hope you will consider staying here for a romantic getaway, a family adventure, a trip with friends, or a quiet retreat for one. Thanks for considering IS 109!
