Thank you so much, Nick! We’re so glad you had such a wonderful stay and enjoyed the property.
It’s great to hear that everything felt smooth and easy during your visit—that’s exactly the kind of relaxing, carefree experience we hope every guest enjoys. From peaceful mornings to laid-back beach days, it’s such a special place to unwind.
We’d love to welcome you back anytime, and we look forward to hosting future guests who are looking for a comfortable, relaxing getaway by the beach.
Thanks again for staying with us! 🌊☀️
This is a great little condo. It was clean, nicely decorated and was well equipped for what I needed for a monthlong stay. The only negative was that it didn’t have a view of the beach. However, with that being said, it had a patio that was pretty private with a grassy area for sunbathing. The very short walk to the pool was nice and the trash shoot is close too. The pool was great with bathrooms on both ends. Chair service on the beach started March 1st and was included with the condo which was a really nice benefit. The owner was always available for questions. It’s a great place to stay!

Thank you so much, Judy, for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and found the condo clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for a longer visit—that’s exactly the experience we hope to provide for every guest.
We love that you were able to take advantage of the private patio and grassy area—it really is a peaceful little spot to relax and unwind. And having such a short walk to the pool, along with the convenience of nearby amenities, makes it easy to enjoy everything the property has to offer.
We’re also happy you enjoyed the included beach chair service—such a great way to make beach days simple and relaxing!
Thank you as well for your kind words about communication—we always strive to be available and helpful so our guests feel right at home.
We’d absolutely love to host you again anytime, and we look forward to welcoming future guests who are looking for a cozy, convenient, and relaxing beach getaway!
Nice place on the first floor, which is a plus for older people! It was perfect for me and my husband to enjoy a few days away! Definitely a place to come back too!

My wife and I really enjoyed this location very much. The condo provided everything we needed. We were able to park next to the condo which made ingress/egress very appealing.

Thank you so much, Leticia! We truly appreciate your kind words and are so glad you enjoyed your stay.
While we do note that the condo doesn’t have a direct beach view, we’re so happy you found so many positives and were able to relax and enjoy your time there. One of our favorite features is just how close everything is—being only about 100 steps to the pool patio on the beach side, with the shoreline just beyond, makes it so easy to slip right into a peaceful beach day.
We also love that guests can enjoy the complimentary chairs and umbrella setup—it makes it simple to head out and relax without having to carry anything, just sit back and enjoy the waves and sunshine.
We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another relaxing getaway!
Everything was great and the location was perfect. Thank you for a great stay.

Everything was great except the pool was to be heated and it was not. And a heated pool was one thing we wanted. Loved the beds and condo!

Thank you so much, Kim! We truly appreciate your kind words and your 10/10 rating—it means so much to us, and we’re so glad you loved the condo and found the beds comfortable.
We understand your thoughts on the pool. While one of the two beachside pools is heated during the cooler months, it’s typically maintained around 78°, which is standard for beachfront properties. During the winter on Okaloosa Island, when air temperatures are often in the 50s and 60s and there’s frequently a breeze off the ocean, that 78° water can feel less warm than some guests expect. Many people associate a “heated” pool with hot tub levels—usually around 100°—so there can be a noticeable difference, especially with an outdoor, oceanfront pool where cooler air and wind contribute to heat loss. A hot tub would certainly be a nice addition during the winter months!
We’re so glad you still had a wonderful stay overall and were able to relax and enjoy your time at the beach. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Condo was everything we could have hoped for. Beautifully decorated, clean, fully stocked, convenient and safe location, very reasonably priced and convenient parking. As stated there isn't a direct beach view, but its just a matter of steps to the heated pool or beach. The included beach chair service is the cherry on top. Owners immediately responded to messages.
Absolutely loved our stay here . Very nice place . Host is very responsive, helpful, and polite. Pool was very large and I loved how the grills are fenced in to keep the little ones safe .

Thank you so much for the kind review Michaela, we appreciate it. We enjoyed hosting your vacation. We hope to see you again soon!
Repeat visitors. Lovely condo. Beautifully decorated and immaculate. Fully stocked with everything you could need. Quiet atmosphere, on the end of the building. Owners respond immediately. I am giving 3 overall stars because both visits we had issues with the door locks. We were locked out both visits, even though there were new locks on the 2nd visit. If my phone had been inside the condo, we would have had no way to even contact owners about getting back in. I feel like it might be related to spotty wifi.

Wendee, thank you for being a repeat guest and for sharing your thoughtful feedback. We truly appreciate your kind words about the condo, its cleanliness, decor, and our responsiveness.
We are very sorry for the frustration you experienced with door access during your stays. Guest peace of mind is extremely important to us. For that reason, we intentionally provide two secure access options for every guest: a smart lock with a personalized code and a physical backup key stored in a lockbox. Both access codes are sent to guests prior to arrival so they are available from the start of the stay.
The physical key is provided as a safety backup in the rare event a smart lock cannot be used, such as connectivity or device-related issues. While needing to use the backup key can be inconvenient, it ensures guests are never without a way to enter the condo.
We appreciate this feedback as it helps us continue to improve communication and guest confidence. We remain committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and worry-free stay for all future guests and are always just a message or call away if assistance is needed.
Thank you again for staying with us.
About the host
Hosted by Brandon and Melissa Conway
Our family of 6 lives in Georgia, but Okaloosa Island is our home away from home. Our family has loved vacationing on the Island over the years and with family members living on the island we decided to take the plunge and buy a place of our own so we could spend more time there together. We're excited to share our newly updated condo for your beach vacations! We know you'll love the convenience of parking and walking right into this unit, put down your bags, put on your beach wear and walk out to the gorgeous pool and powdery white sand that meets clear blue waves! Welcome to the Emerald Coast on Okaloosa Island just 6 miles from Destin!
Why they chose this property
Waters Edge boasts one of the largest pools on the island! Heated year round, and right on the beach. Recently added to beach access point #4 which is located just to the right of our building is a marine reef 150 yards of the beach, great for snorkeling or scuba!
What makes this property unique
Ground level walkout to the beach and pool deck, beach chair and umbrella rental for two included with your stay, March though October!
