About this property

Beautiful quiet beach right out the back door

Come put your feet in the sand at our ground floor, beachfront condo on the Emerald Coast. You can hear the waves breaking as you sit on your back porch. Escape from the crowds to our 2 bedroom 1 bath condo located on the west end of Okaloosa Island. This small complex is a very appealing for both families and couples wanting to get away from it all.
The location of the condo is ideal. You will be miles away from the crowds, but only minutes away from all the attractions, restaurants, and nightlife that Fort Walton and Destin have to offer!

Quiet Spot

Perfect beach front location. Beach is right out the back door & in a quiet, family friendly area. Sleeps 4 people well. Teenager 5’10”slept on the pull out couch & it was too small. Host had good communication. A great perk was the provided beach chairs & towels.

Great Beach Get Away

Great place to stay. Foot steps away from sunsets and sunrises, comfy beds, and all you need for the beach. Towels, chairs, beach toys. As a coffee drinker I also loved the upscale coffee maker. Overall a great stay and would recommend.

Snowbird Heaven

This was our first try at being a snowbird. We are coming back next year! The condo was perfect! We were steps from the beach. The whole area is quiet and not much within walking distance for food or nightlife, but that was not an issue for us. Driving to Fort Walton Beach and Destin gave us plenty to do. Being next to the beach was what we wanted. The condo had everything we could want for a 2 week stay. The host was awesome in responding to us for everything. Again, we will be back!

Perfect off-season getaway

Wow, we loved our stay here! The location is perfect with lots to do just a short drive away. But we enjoyed staying in and walking to the beach just outside the back door! The beach is beautiful and clean, as was the property/condo itself. It had everything we needed. We will absolutely be coming back!

Beautiful

It was a beautiful place to stay. We loved the beach access and how room the condo was. However, the tv remote for the living room lags so bad that we were unable to watch basically anything at all. We ended up watching the iPad instead or just going to the bee rooms to watch tv. It was very clean tho and the communication was great. We were allow our pets and had so much fun. They had chairs and towels for us to borrow and sand supplies to! Which was great for the kids. Parking was easy and it is a quiet neighborhood And there was almost no one around us on the beach! The people we met were so kind. I loved staying here aside from the tv issue and hope to return again!

Condo was nice and as advertised. Convenience to beach and being able to park right outside the door are a plus. Negative is not being able to see beach from condo but we knew that.

Nice place

This area was great. Surrounded by nice people all around. The beach was clean although there was seaweed but usually when we come this way its clear. If I could change anything it would be on a higher level so we can see the beach.
