This is the second time we’ve stayed here. Truly a hidden gem, we find that the location, off the beaten path, is perfect for us. Not a ton of beach traffic and the sand is essentially the same as East of the bridge. The A/C cranks and there are 4 reclining seats in the living room. Great place!

Directly on the beach! Wonderful!

We had a really nice time! The proximity to the beach was the absolute best part. We loved walking right out the back door and having toes in the sand! My only complaint (and it’s minor) is that we had to buy an extra blanket for the master bed because we were freezing! I hope to be back this time next year!

Great Vacation

My family and I had a great time. The condo was clean and spacious for a family of 4. The view was amazing and being able to walk a few steps to the beach was very convenient. I will definitely be recommending this place to a few of my friends and family. Also, the restaurants around the area was great.

Great Family Vacation Place

Great spot, perfect for older guests because of the first floor access. Even though it's a large complex and seven stories high, we never heard a peep from neighbirs above or next to us. Owners went above and beyond to ensure our stay was amazing and provided great recommendations.

We had the best time!

My family and I had the best time on vacation! The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. I wasn’t sure about being on the first floor but it was very convenient with small kids because you go right out the patio and the beach is almost right there. The beach is absolutely beautiful and you get a beach umbrella and 2 chairs with your rental which was great! We would definitely stay there again!

Place was nice

The place was really nice, loved the master bedroom and bath. I’m eighty so loved the no stairs. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t the best also had to leave for a week for my son passed away unexpectedly. So not a very successful vacation but have nothing unfavorable to say about my rental

Relaxing Stay

Our family of 6 had a great stay at this location. Fort Walton is a quiet, relaxing, beach town! We loved having easy access to the beach with just a few steps! The added bonus of two beach chairs and an umbrella was a huge plus and made our beach days more enjoyable with less to tote. We had plenty of room and everything we needed for the stay! The host was very quick at responding and even suggested things to do in the area and restaurants to check out during our stay. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your condo! We had a great time!

Steps to the sand

We were very pleased with this condo. Very spacious. Bedroom setup was perfect. I like the primary bedroom to have a view. We really liked being on the first floor. Beds were very comfortable. Beach service was easy. Would definitely stay here again.We didn’t do much exploring. Just wanted to chill. Would recommend going to McGuires Pub. The food and service were outstanding.

Fall Break Vacay

This was a great vacation. We were able to spend time on the beach and relax in the condo. I loved being on the first floor and close to the walkway to the beach. Our host was wonderful and communicated in a quick and timely manner. She also made suggestions of activities to do and restaurants to visit. I plan to return soon.

Home away from hone

One Step To The Beach is everything we had been looking for in a vacation rental. It is the cleanest place we have ever stayed. The hosts were amazing and communication was excellent! The property is located directly on the beach! You literally walk out your back door and you are a few steps away from the beautiful sand and ocean! We have found our new “home away from home” and will definitely be returning to this wonderful condo for our next vacation!

Peaceful Stay

This condo is now our favorite. From the moment you walk in you can see the amazing view. I was a bit worried being on the ground floor that I wouldn't be able to see the ocean good, but it was perfect! Love the easy access to the beach. The rooms were spacious and great size for our teenagers. Nicole was very responsive and helped with any questions I had. Can't wait to stay again!

Girls trip

We had a wonderful trip. The condo was beautiful decorated. The only thing we saw that could be upgraded was the baseboard could use a little touch up. And the smaller bedrooms the carpet needs to be replaced. We look forward to staying here again in the future. We love the first floor balcony. Only steps away from the beach.

Perfect location, convenient for families

This property could not have been better for my family of five. My husband and I felt it was so easy with our children, we could park directly in front of our unit. Out the back door and just a short walk over the dunes to the beach, and the pool was close… this made it our most relaxing vacation with children so far! The unit was clean and comfortable, close to restaurants. Nicole was wonderful to work with and very quick to communicate with. We will book again for sure, thank you!

We're Nicole and James, and we'd like to welcome you to our condo!

We came to Emerald Coast on a previous vacation and fell in love with the blue waters, sunshine, and all the surrounding area had to offer. We call Atlanta home, but we knew then that we would be coming back to the island for years to come. We hope you'll find a stay with us relaxing and enjoyable, and make memories of your own!
