Nice little condo

This condo is nice and a great ocean view. We had a couple items that were broken and the property manager responded right away. They could use a little updating which they seem to be in the process of doing. We appreciated the use of chairs on the beach in March. We stayed at this unit from January 6-April 2, 2025. Location is great with great restaurants on the island and tons of great restaurants in Ft Walton, Destin and Niceville.I would stay here again.

Short girls trip was perfect!

This place was absolutely perfect for our first ever girls trip. Great location, very clean and cozy. Only downfall was that there was no place to store our luggage before check-in so that we could enjoy the beach. Other than that, would definitely stay at there again!

Perfect Beach Vacation.

This property was the perfect fit for my family’s first vacation. The room was ideal for the three of us. The room was clean and comfortable. We had a great ocean view off of the balcony and took only a few minutes to be right on the beach. The pool was very nice too. The kitchen was fully equipped with any cooking utensil you would need. This was a great place to stay!
