Beautiful Getaway Right on the Beach

This unit is on the 5th floor facing the water. It is in such close proximity and literally took just a couple of minutes to get from the condo to the beach. The location is excellent and convenient to stores, recreation, and numerous restaurants. If a place to get away from stress is your goal, this is the place to be! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book this property again!

Enjoyed our stay

This unit worked very well for our visit. The kitchen was really nice. This has nothing to do with this unit, the the passcode to open the gate to the beach at the facility was inconsistent and frustrating. All the guests talked about their dissatisfaction with the gate and code.

It was lovely

This was the perfect place in the perfect location for our family. Everything was clean and we had everything needed for a cozy weekend at the beach. We had one issue with one of the toilets not flushing and they sent someone right away to fix it. Our last night we watched the Labor Day fireworks on the pier from the balcony, and the last morning we spent out there watching the dolphins. This is the perfect spot for a familu get away.

Great location on the Gulf

The location is super close to the gulf with a very short Boardwalk to the beach. Kitchen has been recently upgraded with nice appliances. Some of the decor is dated, and bathrooms need an update. The AC works great, and we were comfortable during our stay. If you aren’t snobby about decor, I think you will find the place is just perfect.

Good Place

Pros - Great location, beach access was easy and close, balcony view was beautiful and furniture comfortable, clean. Cons - Not very well stocked. Had to buy toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher detergent and other similar items that most places provide. Also had to buy beach towels as there were none provided.

Beautiful view and close to everything

I loved that I was able to have my son who’s in the military based at Eglin and his wife and my little infant granddaughter over all week long and we were completely comfortable. My other two children were there as well and we had the best time. We were close to so many good restaurants and entertainment but also had everything we needed besides the groceries to cook meals in. The view could not have been more perfect. A short walk to the beach was also nice, we all were able to come and go since some of us love soaking up the sun more than others. It was perfect.

Mom and Daughter’s Trip

This condo was perfect for our get away. It was right on the beach. A quick trip down the elevator and we were there. The balcony is wonderful with the comfy lounge loveseat and chairs. We could see both the sunrise and set. Plus the gulf waves would lull us to sleep nightly. We highly recommend this condo if you are looking for a low key stay beach going trip. Very relaxing perfect for doing nothing! 😊

Cute place, safe/quiet neighborhood

Place was quiet and roomy. Parking was a bother because the spaces were very tight and hard to get in and out of. Master bedroom was humid and felt warmer than the rest of the place, so the temp was hard to get comfortable (freezing in living room, humid in master bedroom). We felt very safe during our stay. Conveniently located right next to a Tom Thumb general store. Several good restaurants nearby as well. About 20 minutes from Silver Sands shopping center. Place was very quiet and had very little traffic. Overall, it was a nice place for our anniversary trip on the island! We would book again.

Beautiful location

The condo was clean and comfortable with an outstanding ocean view—beautiful sunrises and sunsets. If you intend to cook, you may want to bring your cookware with you, but it’s located very near to excellent restaurants. We did not use the pool, but why would you when the gulf is just steps away. We would definitely return.
