Beach vacation

This property was fantastic. The owners were responsive when i couldn't find trash bags, and the small details in the property made all the difference. They had beach essentials available to use, and the beach service made life at the beach super easy. The place was so clean, which seems tricky with all the sand outside. Easy access to the beach is a major plus. I would recommend this place to anyone and would stay here again.

Perfect Beach Vacation

This condo is a great home base for a family beach vacation. The bed in the master is AMAZINGLY comfortable (I mention this because it’s always the thing I’m most disappointed in with rentals), and the bunk beds were very comfortable for our kids. The included chair service makes a day at the beach so much easier (especially with kids), and it is only a minute or two from the condo to the pool or beach. We loved our stay and hope to return in the future!

Great getaway

We love traveling to Fort Walton Beach, and have stayed in several different properties. This was a perfect fit for our family of four. The kids loved the bunk beds, and we appreciated the king sized bed with a really comfy mattress, which is a detail often skimped on in rental properties. They also took the time to put a few cute decorations up for our son’s birthday, which we were celebrating during our stay...so sweet and thoughtful!

Restful Vacation Beautiful Beach!

We were instantly impressed the moment we arrived at how clean and thought out the condo was presented. It’s a must to have a comfortable king bed as we have stayed in nice condos before with awful beds which ruined our trip! The king bed felt like a dream and gave us the rest that we needed. The view is as spectacular and we had every thing we needed including beach chairs! Thank you … we will be back!

Fudpucker Reunion

We had a wonderful time getting back together with fiends and the condo was perfect for our visit! It was an easy walk to the tournament and to restaurants and bars near by. We loved hanging out of the deck watching the dolphins and walking to the beach to see the rays that were playing on the water. We would definitely stay there again! Check in was super easy and I always had prompt responses from the owner/manager on any question. Oh and Hungry Hokies pizza was delicious!

My favorite part of this property was the view from the balcony! Everything was very clean. Good appliances. Bed was very comfy. Property manager was so helpful with all our questions before getting there. My only complaint would be that the bedroom stayed warmer then the rest of the place. Make sure to keep the ceiling fan on to help with that. Would stay here again!

Beach Trip 2020

We had a very good time during our trip to the beach. Our condo was in a good location and building was clean and quiet. The only negative was coffee pot was full of old coffee and dishwasher was full of dirty dishes when we arrived, soap was in dishwasher but it was never started to wash. I would have thought cleaning staff would have checked. We washed so it wasn't a terrible situation. We would return to this location.

Hi! We are so glad you had a great trip to the beach! I apologize for the dishwasher and coffee pot - I can honestly say we've never had a negative comment about our cleaning staff and they are usually over the top clean and attentive. The 4th of July is the busiest day of the year and I can only guess that they were extra busy on that day trying to have it ready for your arrival on time and missed that!

Perfect Blessed Home

I absolutely loved this place! My stay here was a long stay as monthly rental off season and it was very relaxing. I loved waking and falling asleep to the waves. The place was very cleaned when I checked in, the managers were very communicative and the unit was spacious with light yet tranquil colors. I absolutely loved how much natural light there is in the unit. The only thing I was disappointed (not owner or management issues) is that the condo hours for the gym are short, so for those like me who this was home and had to work, it was hard to make it to the gym…in which case beach walks were regularly executed :-). Thank you for letting make this my home for few months…if I haven’t bought after season, I would def come back and recommend!!

Decent for the price

The good: 1. Great view 2. Updated fixtures The bad: 1. The master bed is soft and uncomfortable. I had to sleep in the the hallway bunk. 2. The refrigerator handle was broken when we Arrived. The middle shelf in the refrigerator Is not safe to set heavy items on. 3. There only closet in the unit was had a broken Broken chair and vacuum in it that limited our Closet space. 4. Master bedroom is right across from elevator Door so you hear anyone coming out of Elevators when you are sleeping.

We are so glad you had a great trip to the beach and enjoyed our views! The king mattress is brand new and most guests have raved about it and have even wanted to purchase their own - mattresses can be difficult because some people like a really firm one and others like it really soft. The brand new refrigerator handle had one small loose screw and I offered to quickly tighten it for you - it was not broken. The guest before you broke a dining chair and my cleaners put it in the closet and didn't tell me until after you checked in. I did offer to come and remove the chair which you didn't want me to do - you could have just put it back by the dining table if it was causing a space issue. We have a large dresser and lots of storage shelves in the bathroom as well. We have since replaced all of the dining chairs! Our building elevators do not ding when they arrive to a floor but there can be hallway noise as this is a condo building. We have a sound machine in the master bedroom for any light sleepers who are sensitive to sounds. Our building is low density and certainly not very loud! We strive to provide everything our guests could want/need for a great vacation and we did offer to immediately rectify these tiny issues for you which you declined!

About the host

Hosted by Kristine Moran

Host profile image
Hello from the beach! Originally from North Dakota, we followed our hearts to the beach and never looked back! We live and work in the sunshine and absolutely love it here - our two kids do too! We love to share our little slice of paradise with other beach lovers - welcome to our home away from home!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Okaloosa Island - less than 7 miles from Destin, yet it feels worlds away! Not nearly as crowded and touristy as Destin, but still easy access. We are surrounded by so many amazing restaurants and things to do - many just a quick walk away. Okaloosa Island does not have high rises, so the lower density means fewer people on the beach. You won't find multiple rows of beach chairs stacked so far away that you can't even see the water!

What makes this property unique

Our location can't be beat! We've traveled the world and have seen beaches in Greece, Italy, Mexico, The Bahamas, Jamaica, Haiti, Honduras, California and none of those beaches compared to ours. The crystal white sand and emerald green water is spectacular. We can't wait to share it with you!
