Beautiful & on the beach!

The pictures match exactly what the property looks like. If I recall, when we booked it, they actually had repainted it almost right before we came. The owner made it look more modern and it looked even better than when we originally booked it! It’s a very short walk to the beach, just cross over a tiny bridge and there it is! We had beach chairs and an umbrella to enjoy. Very quiet property, not a lot of others around and felt very safe. We would stay again!

Great little condo!

This is a great little condo in the heart of Okaloosa Island! Very clean and adequate. Our neighbors got a little rowdy one night with a 1:30 AM pool party but it was an isolated event. Great finishes with comfort in mind! Would certainly consider staying here in the future.

2 min walk to the beach, all the amenities you could ever need, close to all shops/restaurants but far enough from the large crowds. Just watch out for any tenants/guests above- thin walls and can hear everything

Clean, cute,cozy

This place was just like the description, cute, clean, cozy. Short walk to beach and short drive to all the attractions. Josee was a great host , the people above us were loud but after texting Josee she got with their rental manager and fixed the situation. Thank you Josee!

Can't wait to go back!

This was our first vacation with our newborn. The rental was exactly how it appeared online. The spot was perfect for families. Most days we had the pool to ourselves and the beach was remarkable. The rental is centrally located, there are several restaurants and attractions within close proximity. Josee was a great host, she responded quickly and the rental was very clean with all that you need!!!!

Compton's Indiana

Everything as advertised. Attention to detail was above expected. 5 minutes to numerous activities and 20 to all of them. White sand beach, assigned chairs and umbrellas made it easy to walk 1 minute and then enjoy. Ample close by parking, pool cleaned daily, would recommend and definitely stay again. Thanks Josee!!!

Nothing flashy, close to beach.

Overall it was an okay stay. We had anticipated more of the beach view, and disappointed in the fact that our balcony faces the beach but view was blocked by condo in front of us. Perfect space wise, could use some updates in decor.

Fabulous Weekend Getaway!

Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend in Fort Walton Beach for a cheer competition! The condo was perfect for our needs! It’s in a quieter area, but only minutes from everything, and the beach is steps away! Perfect place for a beach getaway!

Perfect little getaway

Our condo was immaculate, the description online was perfect. The owner was very helpful through my entire process. She watched the weather for us the week prior due to the threat of a hurricane. We will definitely be back! For the two of us it was the perfect amount of space. I could not be more happy with our experience.

About the host

Hosted by Josee Paulzak

Host profile image
I am a French Canadiam who married an American and I have been living here in Fort Walton Beach for the last 35 years. I love the area, it is so beautiful, and a great place to raise our children. I work with my husband in his Life Insurance agency: If you have heard the "Big Lou" commercial on Sirius Radio, that's us!. In my spare time I make soaps, which I sell at the local market. I also manage a few Airbnb's, this one is my third rental. I have 5 stars ratings on all my properties, so you are in good hands!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this condo the moment I saw it. It is full of light and to me, happy. It is in a quaint setting, only 19 units in the complex, has its own pool. Its proximity to the beach makes it that much more appealing! It also came decorated, and I loved it! Okaloosa Island is an incredibly nice vacation area; it has the most beautiful white quartz beaches on a background of Emerald colored waters. it has sidewalks and bike trails, lots of activities and restaurants around, yet one feels totally on vacation. I hope you will feel the same about it!

What makes this property unique

Because the unit is not directly on the water, but only a few feet away, you pay a lot less for your rental. You still get to see the ocean from the balcony, and you can be there in less than a minute walk. The small inner court with the pool and barbecue area is ideal for families and relaxation away from the crowds at the beach.
