Fantastic View

My husband and I stayed in this rental the entire month of February. It was the perfect size for a couple. And the view of the beach, water, and sunset from the private balcony was amazing. We also enjoyed having two bathrooms, a full-size washer and dryer, and plenty of empty drawers in the bedroom. We've stayed in a number of rentals in the Destin/Fort Walton area and have decided the smaller size of this complex is what we prefer. Fewer people and rarely a wait for the elevator. Wish we were still there.

About the host

Hosted by Kris Moran, Property Manager

Host profile image
Hello from the beach! We absolutely love where we live and love to share it with others! We got married at the beach before we even dreamed we could live here and by luck we ended up moving to the beach and have 2 children who love the beach as much as we do. Originally from North Dakota, we were glad to leave the cold - we love the sunshine and Gulf breezes!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Okaloosa Island - less than 7 miles from Destin, yet it feels worlds away! Not nearly as crowded and touristy as Destin, but still easy access. We are surrounded by so many amazing restaurants and things to do - many just a quick walk away. Okaloosa Island does not have high rises, so the lower density means fewer people on the beach. You won't find multiple rows of beach chairs stacked so far away that you can't even see the water!

What makes this property unique

Our location can't be beat! We have traveled to many beaches in places like Greece, Italy, Mexico, The Bahamas, Haiti, Honduras and more - nothing compares to our beautiful white sand beach and emerald green water! Our condo is truly Gulf front - walk to the beach with no busy roads to cross!
