Great beach vacation

Loved Okalosa Island because traffic was not bad and Destin was close by with a lot of amenities. Lots of time in the water and fun parasailing too. Shopping and great food too. best was the beautiful emerald water.

It was lovely

This was the perfect place in the perfect location for our family. Everything was clean and we had everything needed for a cozy weekend at the beach. We had one issue with one of the toilets not flushing and they sent someone right away to fix it. Our last night we watched the Labor Day fireworks on the pier from the balcony, and the last morning we spent out there watching the dolphins. This is the perfect spot for a familu get away.

Good Place

Pros - Great location, beach access was easy and close, balcony view was beautiful and furniture comfortable, clean. Cons - Not very well stocked. Had to buy toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher detergent and other similar items that most places provide. Also had to buy beach towels as there were none provided.

Beautiful location

The condo was clean and comfortable with an outstanding ocean view—beautiful sunrises and sunsets. If you intend to cook, you may want to bring your cookware with you, but it’s located very near to excellent restaurants. We did not use the pool, but why would you when the gulf is just steps away. We would definitely return.

Good condo but showing it’s age

Bed is beginning to sag but is still comfortable. Blemish on baseboard when you first come in. Rust on dishwasher and fridge and fridge doesn’t cool as well as the newer ones. Microwave is an eyesore; it’s cracked. Ceiling in the hallway is patched up as it seems there was a leak there. Balcony furniture has mildew on it and is uncomfortable. Aside from that, the place was clean and relatively comfortable. I believe it was priced right. Would I stay there again? Probably not. Do I regret our stay? No.

Okaloosa Palms

The condo was exactly as advertised minus the cockroaches that ran out from under the recliners. Had contacted Vacasa to inquire about checking in an hour early and they told us to enjoy the pool. Only the pool was drained and coned off. Check in time rolled around and our room still wasn’t ready. Overall the condo was perfect size for 3 people the view was beautiful and the area was perfect. This is my 3rd time in okaloosa island to visit my son stationed at hurlburt field and the area never disappoints

What a view!

We loved the property overall. The fire sprinkler did leak so we had to keep a towel down to catch the water (we called and they vowed to fix it). But that didn’t stop us from having a great vacation. You really can’t beat the location and view.

Beautiful views!

This Condo was everything we needed! The view was amazing! The 2 bedroom Condo had a bedroom with a full and twin bed! Perfect for my 6 and 11 yr old daughters! The beds even had cute night light headboards. Comfy, cozy and only steps from the beach. There was a covered pArking space also! We would stay here again, and would definitely recommend!
