A large exercise gym and his/her spas are also free to everyone staying in the resort.

Okaloosa Island is part of a 30 mile stretch of continuous natural sand barrier. The ocean here is typically as clear as any water can be, with an emerald green color unique to this small area. The sands are pure white and powdery, like sugar, and the beaches are kept immaculately clean and safe by wonderful Okaloosa County authorities. There is plenty of fun right here on the island, from putt putt golf, to outdoor grills to fine dining and night life. We have a fishing pier just a mile away, which is also the home of the original Gulfarium Dolphin Exhibit. Take the kids to the Gulfarium to see dolphins perform, as well as their friends the walrus, sea lions, and penguins. They'll love it.

The location is perfect…steps(100) to the white sand beach. The facilities are nice and we feel at home here. When some minor issues have arisen, Rhonda and her team have been quick to respond. Communication is very good!

Unit 315

Always in joy staying in this unit. So easy getting to beach and pool. The one and only thing is the umbrella situation. You have to mark yours every morning they will not put your name or unit number on it. Everything else is great nice people everywhere to.

Great place

Thought I wrote this on our 2023 trip didn't see my discount. We wouldn't stay anywhere else. The bottom floor is so handy and the great grass is good for your feet and children. Only problem I have is the umbrella man. Have my trip booked for 2024 already maybe they have a new umbrella man. Hope to get my discount to.

2nd time in 315

Love this unit. Great proximity to the beach and pool. Like I mentioned in the name, this is our second time staying in this unit. The sheets and the extra blankets need to be cleaned. I would recommend this unit. My son is stationed there and we will be renting this unit again.

We loved the location of this unit. We had some issues with the cable tv connection the first night, after unplugging and resetting it we got it to connect. This was the second visit to this property, I love the location and will definately book here again.

Perfect location for small family!

Being on the first floor and steps away from the pool and beach, 315 was THE PERFECT location for a family with young kids! Easy to and from access without the hassle of elevators. Beautiful walk-in shower, super spacious living room and all the tvs had access to streaming apps for our 3yo! I’d recommend this condo to anyone looking for a hassle free vacation. Location! Location! Location!

Wonderful Location!

We stayed in late October and I cannot tell you enough about how beautiful the sunsets were. Picture perfect. Our view was the pool and gazebo and it was breathtaking! The condo was on the ground floor, which made it easy for us old folks to get around. The condo did have sand on the floor when we arrived which I know if Florida is difficult to get up but we couldn't go to the bathroom barefooted and just get back into bed without cleaning our feet. (We hadn't been to the beach, yet) Also the master bedroom smelled of urine. We cleaned the floors, sprayed air freshener & aired it out a bit which seemed to help.
