We have a coffeemaker in the unit that fits either K-cups or good old ground coffee, so if it's coffee for 1 or for many we've got you covered for that first morning caffeine fix. Of course we have a Margaritaville machine so it's always 5 o'clock here. We installed bamboo wood flooring in the bedrooms when we purchased the unit and there is tile in all the other common areas so no worries about stained carpet in this unit. We do have small throw rugs beside the beds so you can brush the sand off before saying goodnight. We are also proud to say that you'll find no sleeper sofa in this unit. We sleep 10 people in beds so no one has to worry about drawing the short straw and having to sleep in the living area. Parents can stay up and enjoy watching television or hanging out on the balcony without disturbing the little ones. Need to do some laundry? Well you don't have to do it in the kitchen like most of the other units. We have a separate large laundry room with a FULL SIZE washer and dryer, utility sink and lots of extra storage cabinets. You spoke and we listened! We just updated the dining area with new table and chairs with seating for 7 AND we added a stand alone bar top table that adds seating for 2 more! The whole family can now enjoy dining together. We also added a small table and 2 chairs to the Master Bedroom so you have a place to sit while putting on your shoes and an extra spot to charge those electronics you just couldn't leave at home. Luggage racks are now in all 3 bedrooms giving you a place to rest that suitcase so you can dig out the swimsuits and flip flops! If it's a rainy day you have no need to worry as we've also added an Xbox One so you can still play those video games

Spacious and gorgeous view!

We had 9 people stay for a week and it was perfect! The condo is actually much bigger than it appears in the pictures. All the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms very spacious. We loved having the pool, lazy River and the beach at our fingertips. The view from the porch is beautiful and probably the best on Okaloosa island to view the fireworks show. We had a fabulous vacation! Thanks to Aaron for all the quick replies to our questions and assistance when we needed it.

Great Waterfront Condo

We had a great experience. We had 6 adults and 2 kids in the condo and had more than enough space. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook and there were lots of beach toys to use. I had questions during the stay and Aaron was very responsive and helped me. I would definitely stay again!
