Great vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As always, my vacation overall was wonderful. I love the location and have stayed in the same condo, twice a year sometimes, for several years. I do feel that the patio furniture badly needs an upgrade. Chaise lounges need to be added and get rid of the uncomfortable bench and chairs. The dining table and chairs are sufficient and the 2 rockers. The side table needs replacing; it is broke and the top could fall off and hurt someone. The living room furniture is not very comfortable and neither of the mattresses on the beds. I think it would add to the appeal of the unit greatly if comfort was more of a factor.

Outdated old, broken recliners, not worth the $

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Entering the condo you are greeted by an old dirty foyer rug.broken closet doors in the 2nd bedroom. Screen on patio door was barely intact and eventually came out, rendering it useless. Shower curtains and toilet seats in both bathrooms were nasty and couldn’t be cleaned. Kitchen and bathrooms were terribly outdated. A/C didn’t work the first 3 weeks we were there as maintenance had to come into condo 15 times. And the topper is my corvette got broken into and cost me 500$ to replace glass( no cameras or security on property)

Okaloosa Island Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo as a whole is fine. A few basics are missing from the kitchen (a pitcher, for instance), the balcony furniture cushions are worn out and stained, cushions in the dining chairs are flat, and the TV in the master bedroom will only play one channel. Minor things that should be addressed, but didn't keep us from enjoying our week at the beach.

Wonderful time

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Staying in our favorite vacation rental unit is always a treat! We had a great, low key time which was the goal. My only complaint was with the Islander, not the unit. They added a pool code this year that was 6 digits. I could never remember it so walked around the pool to get to the beach walkway every day, which was a little annoying. I saw people yelling out the code to others, climbing the gate, etc. Just a minor annoyance.
