Overall,

Very difficult to find that part of the complex. Recommend searching map apps with the exact unit number. Turns out that the walk to the beach was very very weird and long. There was some miscommunication about access. I didn’t know to look for a different email. It didn’t show up in VRBO.

Great short weekend stay.

We were in town for a cheer competition in Fort Walton. This condo had the right combination of beds to fit my entire family. So many other listings have double beds listed as sleeping two people. Sure two small people can sleep in a double but normal sized people not so much. This had a king and two queens. Check in was simple and the condo was nice. You are given one parking spot for each unit that is marked with your unit number and other spots are first come first served. However, other guests did not abide by the marked spots and parked in our marked spot several times. Thought on our check out day that we were going to have to call the owner when we got ready to leave and my daughter could not find her car keys. After tearing all our bags apart and looking all over and only having 15 minutes to spare before we went past our check out time we found them in the couch under the cushions. All in all a good stay. Would stay here again. Thanks. P.S. my daughter’s cheer team won their competition so it was a great weekend.
