Ocean front condo in Fort Walton

The condo was easy to find nice and clean. It is located right on the beach and had a private pool and beach entrance. The beach area was not very crowded when we visited. The owner was very quick to respond when we had a question.

First time beach vacation during Fall break, and first time staying where there's emerald green water ever. Beach was clean and no crowds. Condo was clean and exactly as stated in listing. Not far from anything, still only 20 minutes from Destin. We'll be back to the Ft Walton area again!

Great vacation condo

Everything was great. Condo was clean and we had all the dishes and appliances we needed. All the beds were very comfortable including the pull out couch. Very easy access to the beach. The only thing I would suggest is updating the DVD player in the master bedroom to blu-ray and possibly getting a larger table for the patio to accommodate a family. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely stay here again.

Affordable and fun!

We love staying on the beach. This condo was one of the more affordable ones on the beach for the amount of sleeping spaces for our family. We had 5 adults and one infant and we all had ample space to sleep and hangout inside the condo. We love the location of Tom Thumb being right in front of the condo so we could run and grab groceries that we needed. The pool and hot tub were clean. Other guests in the condo were friendly. This will be our new go to place for sure!

A Slice of Heaven

We were sitting about halfway down the island strip in the perfect location. The condo was big enough for our big family. There wasn’t anything that we needed that wasn’t available to us. Amy was a dream to work with. Very fast response times to any messages sent. I hope we can stay here again.

Spring Break 2012

Thank you for allowing us to rent your beautiful condo. It had everything we needed and we were very comfortable. It is in a great location and away from crowds. The beach attendent was so nice and I made sure to bring him drinks daily. We saw dolphins at least 3 times a day!! Fudpuckers was fun and so was our visit to Grayton Beach and Seaside. This is an excellent choice in location, condo complex and unit. Thanks again!

Perfect

We just returned home from our stay at Sea Dunes 203. It is a slice of paradise for sure! Thank you Amy & Greg for sharing your space with us! We appreciated that the unit had everything we needed to enjoy a stay for 4 adults and 2 kiddos. Kitchen was nicely supplied as well. We always do some cooking on vacation. None of us was ready to go home this morning as we took last pictures and soaked up the sounds of the waves. The Emerald Coast's beauty never disappoints, and it was great trom 203!

Family time memories

Everything was perfect! The scenery from the balcony is breathtaking! Our son even saw a couple of dolphins in the gulf from there. The condo is well equipped with kitchen items that came in handy when we prepared some meals. They do have a Kerug/ drip coffee maker which we enjoyed. You can count on great communication with the owners. Thank you Greg and Amy for our family memories made in your condo paradise! God bless you both!

Clean and great view!

Upon arriving the owner/property manager was easy to contact. They allowed us an early check in which was really appreciated after a long trip. The place was clean. The elevator never had a long wait, so getting to and from the beach was quick and painless. The view from the balcony is perfect. We saw multiple dolphins in the water! We could also see fireworks shot from the pier. The beach service was really nice! An umbrella and two chairs come with the rental. 10 out of 10, we recommend! We would all love to stay here again in the future!

Good time

The A/c did not work properly the day we arrived. They put Freon in unit & it got cool that night. The floor was sandy when we arrived & there was some mold on the shower curtain. I think the cleaning people should have done a better job. Otherwise Yes, it’s smack dab on the beach.

We had a blast! Condo could have been much better.

I am going to start with the good things about this place. Checking in was fast and easy! The beach was so beautiful, we had an amazing view from the balcony and main bedroom, the balcony was huge and we loved spending time out there.The wifi was good, the pool and hot tub were amazing, we had alot of fun playing in the pool and relaxing in the hot tub. It was so convenient to have a market right outside the parking lot, we loved walking to it and being there in 2 minutes. We loved having a free umbrella and beach chairs, it was nice we used them every day! Amy was amazing at checking on us on bad weather days and answering the phone when we needed her.The things we didnt like about this place.None of the locks on doors worked, bedrooms couldnt lock, bathroom doors couldnt lock. The person that cleaned this place didnt do a good job. The floor was so dirty walking for 10 minutes barefoot left the bottom of our feet black, there was people hair on the floor etc. Bathroom on main bedroom was dirty, walls dirty, bathtub was so stained and pluged every time we showered the tub filled up and took hours for water to drain.Bathroom #2 light flickered the whole time we were there. bedroom #3 the light is a night light and it flickers the whole time so its better to not turn it on, we had to use a flashlight in there. Some outlets didnt work throughout the condo, we would put our phones to charge for hours and they would never charge.This place needs work all over. But still had fun!
