Loved the 1st floor

We loved the convenience of the ground floor! No waiting on elevator! The unit is stocked with literally everything you need! We used their beach chairs , toys, didn’t have to buy anything except our food. I didn’t like this neighborhood. About 1 mile away from the condo was trashy with lots of night clubs and adult entertainment businesses. You also can’t see the beach from the room due to sand dunes, but it is a very short walk to the sand. We throughly our stay. Drove about 10 miles to Destin for activity.

Fabulous Condo

My family just enjoyed a week at family tides! The first floor entrance made everything very close and convenient for my teen daughter who has a broken foot. Not to mention, it was a breathtaking view when we first walked in! This condo is very close to some of the top resturants on Okaloosa Island. You can tell the owners take pride in this condo with how well kept the property is. Also, all the extra amenities made our beach days wonderful!

Family Tides 111 unit

This was a great vacation. Condo as described. Good communication with property managers. They even called to let us know the unit was ready before 4 pm. Plenty of bath towels, beach towels, beach chairs and games for the whole family. Unit was very clean. Kitchen had everything we needed plus some. Ocean was a short walk from the door wall. The pool was directly across from unit. We liked being on ground level. Lots of restaurants in the area. The grocery store was a short drive. Destin was easy to get to even with all the spring break traffic. Our family plans on returning and would rent this unit again. Thank you!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness

In desperate need of maintenance and a deep clean

The good: Location! You can’t get any closer to the beach without a boat. Of the maintenance issues we had, the property managers fixed the first few (refrigerator malfunctioning, thermostat broken, bedroom tv not working) quickly. Though it was frustrating having to deal with these things on the first day of our vacation. The bad: The condo is pretty dirty. Yeah there’s sand, that’s to be expected. The furniture smells dirty and the rugs haven’t been washed in a long time. There is mold in the bathrooms and around the vents. In the master bath the ceiling is falling down around the exhaust fan. The manager said it was caused by a leak from an upstairs condo and they were addressing it. There is a musty smell in the bathroom that did get better after we washed the rugs (they were visibly dirty). There is an outlet hanging out of the wall under the cupboard. The manager also said they were aware of this. That is a safety issue, and yes it is live. I checked the smoke detector. It works but fell off in my hand. I noticed NONE of the wiring in the box behind it had caps on the wires, the ends were all bare - another safety issue. The light fixture in the dining area looks like it’s falling off the ceiling. Our opinion is there are too many cleaner, well maintained condos in this area to stay in this one.

Surf Dwellers #111

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first time booking through any type of AirBnB or Property Management. The entire unit looked 100% like the photos. This unit came with EVERYTHING you needed for a week's stay. Full kitchen of ANY type of appliance, utensils, etc that you could ever need. Washer/dryer in the unit. No need to bring beach chairs, umbrellas, or sand toys - it was all in the unit as well. This could probably accommodate 6 people with all the items they provided. We were NOT disappointed and we had mentally prepared ourselves for some letdowns. We would do this again in the same unit. My question is - are all units in Surf Dwellers this equipped? If so, 9/10 for OUR family. The only reason not 10/10 is because we wanted a lower level and to see the water - which we could not due to the dunes which overall was OK based on the other perks.

The Perfect Beach Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved this place! I’ve been looking for a time to come back ever since we left. If you’re looking for somewhere to get up in the morning, spend quiet time walking on the beach or sitting under an umbrella then relax the rest of the day this is it! Beach was not crowded and just a few steps away from your back deck. The place came with complimentary umbrella and beach chairs that were set up waiting for you early in the morning. The house was amazing with I can’t stress enough, everything you might need. It was decorated nicely, comfy beds, very roomy, clean and convenient to everything Destin offers without the crowd.

Perfect getaway

The condo was perfect for my family for a quick getaway. It was very welcoming and had everything we needed for meals. It is beautifully decorated and spacious. It was awesome to feel at home at the beach. The location is perfect, being an end unit on the ground floor. Watching the sunrise on the patio every morning with a cup of coffee was heaven! My two small kids also loved playing on the large patio. We look forward to coming back!

Very nice unit, great location.

This property in general is very well managed and seemed to be well cared for. My daughter and her family were in this unit and we were on a unit on the second floor. This unit is ground floor, so we didn't expect a great view and that was the only thing that might have been less than perfect. Otherwise, everything we needed was there and everything worked. The only bad thing I have to say about our trip is that Ft. Walton is terrible about recycling. I had saved cans and plastic bottles all week, intending to dispose of them environmentally, but ended up throwing everything in the trash because I couldn't find a recycle bin anywhere. This is a terrible example coming from a community that otherwise seems to be trying to preserve natural habitats and protect their sea animals.

Our second stay in this exact unit!

We love Okaloosa Island and the Surf Dweller is a gem! It's smaller so the pool is never packed, and the units are HUGE compared to other properties. We love this ground floor unit because it walks right out and has a HUGE patio. Both bedrooms are ginormous and the main area is as well. This is my go to unit if I'm in the area. Ownership recently changed and the new owner is just as lovely to work with as the old one was.
