Gwen, Waters Edge seems like it was the perfect place for your time at the beach. Thank you for choosing Easy Vacations for your
stay and we do hope you will come back to visit soon. Take care, Easy Vacations
It was exactly everything that we were looking for. Perfect location, overlooking the beach and pool. Views were great ! The property was kept up well. We really enjoyed our stay.
Really nice. The gentlemen who keeps the facility clean is one of the hardest workers i have ever seen. Every day, grills are cleaned and he is constantly on the move, making sure everything is spotless. This is no small undertaking. My hats off to him and we will definitely come back!
We enjoyed the proximity to the beach, the pool and the exceptionally clean condo.

The condo was very nice and just as listed! It has a beautiful view of the ocean and just a few steps away til your on the sand. The condo was clean, tidy and every amenity listed was there.
We loved everything about it and the location was perfect.
Perfect place for a girls trip. Clean, good views and really liked the beach service (umbrella and chairs). Check in and out super easy.

The condo met all of our needs and was the perfect proximity to the pool and beach (which was great with our small children in tow!) Everything was very clean. We went during a busy holiday week, yet none of the amenities were overcrowded. We had a great time!

Thank you for staying with us and for such a wonderful review! SO very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay! Yay! :-) Can't wait to have y'all back!!! ~Toes in the sand, CareySue
Loved the area. So beautiful. Pure white beach sand. The balcony facing the Gulf was stunning
The only thing is it needs new sofa
Very uncomfortable and area rug
Beds were comfy. Kitchen well supplied
Beautiful view and right on the beach. Saw dolphins from our room and poop was close to the room. Make sure you have transportation of planning on going into Destin.

Overall it was very clean and property grounds and pool area very well kept. There were a few small issues- curtains off track and difficult to open, ice maker non-functioning non functioning light above DR table and broken recliner in living room. Property management responded quickly to concerns and mentioned they already knew about the issues and were waiting on owner to approve fixing. The location was perfect and we had a lovely time. Would encourage correcting issues in a more timely fashion
The property has a great view of the ocean (better to be on the 2nd floor) and is convenient to get to the beach and the pool. Our kids and adults loved it. You are also only a short drive to everything you need and want in Fort Walton Beach and Destin. Make sure you get up early enough (7-9a) to see the dolphins swimming right in front of the property. We took small canoes out to see them at the man made reefs and it was a magical experience!

We had a few initial hiccups in the beginning that were resolved. The new lock on the door was malfunctioning and the unit we initially rented was under construction. These were quickly resolved and we had a wonderful stay.

We booked this unit for a quick 3-night stay. This property has a great location. 2nd story, so we did not have the noise/traffic of a 1st floor unit. That also means we had a better ocean view. Everything to make it feel like home away from home is available, plus some things you didn't know you needed. Great communication with the property manager. She made it super easy to get in to the unit, provided recommendations for places to eat (Definitely go to Stewby's and Brotula's). We would happily stay in this unit again in the future!

The owners were easily reached when we encountered a small hiccup. It’s was quickly resolved. We did not have a single issue with our condo. We arrive to yummy donuts. The balcony view was absolutely stunning. We spent a lot of time on the balcony when we were not in the beach. The size of the pool was great! Everyone could spread out & there’s were always chairs available. Most condos have small pools & limited seating which leads to crowding. We will be back next year!!

Relaxing Family Vacation
This was our first trip to the Fort Walton/Destin area and we loved every minute of it. The Condo was beautifully decorated, well maintained, and very spacious. Our daughters (13 & 10) loved the beach and the pools. It was great having the heated pool during the 3rd week of October since it was a little chilly at night and in the mornings. The view is perfect from the balcony. We did have most of our meals in the condo and the kitchen was well equipped. We even cooked out on the grill one night. The Grocery store is not far down the street. Also it is a very short drive to Destin to Harbor walk and many restaurants. It was a perfect getaway for Fall Break.
