This was our 2nd time staying in this condo and we will definitely be back. Its not a large condo so it feels a little more private. The restaurant next door is highly recommended! The ocean view is perfection! I can't wait to stay again soon!

Beautiful view, but rough stay

This was our second time staying at this condo (two different units). We enjoyed it so much last year, we came back. We won’t be back again. We got to the condo and the lock wouldn’t work. The code was correct, but the deadbolt wouldn’t pull out. After being on the phone with 4 different people for over an hour, someone finally showed up.

Serviceable, comfortable, right on the beach

This property had all that was needed for our short beach retreat. We appreciated the great view, the large kitchen, the balcony views, plenty of towels, beach umbrella and chairs, and great A/C. There were a few minor fixes needed to blinds, closet doors and the furnishings were a bit dated, but the price was worth it. Would stay there again.

Just right.

We had a wonderful time. It was perfect distance to the beach and had a great view. Plenty of room for the kids to be kids. The only drawback was the WiFi went out but that was not anyone's fault. Over all this is a great place for the price!

Clean, dated, excellent location

This property was everything we needed/wanted! Right on the beach, with a gorgeous view of the gulf through the window and from the balcony. Tho spotlessly clean, my only complaint is that the building, furniture, and decor could use some TLC. I would still pick this place to stay again! Much quieter and laid back than in the hub of Destin.

When we arrived at the condo, after traveling all day. Went in and there was NO AC. We then were moved to a different location for the night, which was fine. I’ve been coming here all my life and never experienced this inconvenience before. Other than that when we got settled it was paradise of course.

Wonderful Relaxing Getaway

The pictures did not do the inside justice. Very clean and new appliances and new dishes. Great location, was wonderful to be able to just walk out the front door and be on the beach. We had a very relaxing time and can not wait to come again. Southern Resorts management company was a joy to work with. It was great to be able to call them and they were always available to answer our questions.

Perfect location

My daughter and I stayed for a week and it was perfect. Don't judge a book by its cover though. From the outside I was a little skeptical but once I got inside I was pleasantly surprised. The unit was clean and quiet. I don't think you can get any closer to the beach! It was exactly what we needed and we had a very relaxing vacation.

Just what I thought it would be!!!

It was everything that we could ask for great size for our family everything was clean and it was nice to look off the porch to the ocean to see dolphins in the morning. The condo stayed cooled the entire time and I loved that they thought of the idea for a dehumidifier. The beach was very clean and the people around us was very nice. Tons of things to do in fort walton and it was way quiter then destin which is nice when you have kids.

Check in was at 4:00pm when we arrived at 4:30 the unit was still being cleaned and the keypad code did not work. The unit had dust buildup in ceiling fan and trim. The handle for the balcony door was falling off. The unit was out dated and could use a deep cleaning.

Disappointing

The location of this property is wonderful; it is private and steps from the beach. Unfortunately, the property itself was dirty and the advertising photos left out the stained carpet, wallpaper and kitchen cabinets, all of which desperately need to be replaced. We arrived late at night and the door code would not work. The property management was accessible and did rectify that within about fifteen minutes. After a day traveling it was frustrating to find a moldy shower curtain, large stain on the bedroom carpet, dust and hair covering the bedside tables and other furniture, broken drawer and sticky cabinets. There are no cleaning productson site so be sure to bring your own!

Quiet small complex

Loved the location and that there are only 9 condos. Very peaceful! Things to know: There isn't an elevator which at first I thought may be a problem. But there aren't many steps between floors, so no problems there. The unit does not have a washer/dryer. However, there is a washer/dryer just outside ($2.00 per load each). Down side: the balcony chairs/pads/table are sticky and black from dirt. Chairpads are worn out flat and dirty. Pillows in living room dirty as well. My mistakes: I DID NOT GET THE INSURANCE! I had to leave a day early due to hurricane Sally's threat to my home. So, I had to pay for a day I wasn't there.
