Girls trip

We loved all the extras for the beach and the fully stocked kitchen. The toaster oven and the keurig were not working and some of the bedroom plugs did not. There was plenty of seating. The beach attendant was very nice and helpful. The beds were very comfortable. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend.

Exceptional stay

Property was just as described. Spotless and well provisioned. The view was gorgeous whether you were inside or the balcony. We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony. There was a comfortable couch and chairs. The location was perfect, less than 2 miles to great restaurants and to a Publix. Check in was via email where you were given a door entry code. Wonderful, no card entry! Checkout was via in-room ECHO. I highly recommend this property.

Won't book again

Got there- had to contact assistance, we had no power. Power issue was that the main breaker was turned off. We waited outside of the unit for 45 mins waiting on maintenance. Obviously the unit was not checked before we check-in or in the last several days. 2 hours later, AC isn't working . Call for maintenance again-says he can't repair it have to wait. Someone comes out at 11 the next morning to tell us he wasn't going to chance repairing it. The property manager finally decided that they would have another unit available. I do believe that this could have been done the 1st night. Condo is in need of things being fixed. Not the same experience that I had at this unit 2 years ago. Very disappointing.

Beautiful condo with amazing Gulf views! Balcony was our favorite thing about the property! Covered and private with furniture to sit on to enjoy the beautiful sunrise and spectacular sunsets! Spent most of our time on the balcony, perfect for drinking coffee in the morning and watching the sunrise! Would 100% stay at this property again!

Beautiful location but needs updates

The unit was clean but needs updating. The pictures were accurate but taken many years ago. Electrical outlets on wall between living room and master did not work therefore neither tv worked either! Cookware and utensils were very limited. Overall stay was good but is in serious need of some TLC.

The View

Overall we were happy with the condo. The check in process was easy. The management kept me informed of any updates and processes. The information for parking and getting into the condo was easy and organized. The management in general was very accessible and helpful. The condo itself was very nice with a great view. We very much enjoyed sitting on the nice and comfortable balcony furniture morning, afternoon and evening. The condo is nice but showing some age. Three women stayed in the condo. The biggest complaint -NO CLOSET SPACE!!!. The master bedroom is large and very nice. The master closet however was LOCKED. The second bedroom closet had a tall LOCKED dresser on one side and a small dresser on the other side. There were 6 hangers. We took the small dresser out of the closet just so we had a little closet space. We had half a closet with 6 hangers for 3 women!! Another hallway closet was locked. The remaining hallway closet was full of junk. This is UNACCEPTABLE . There is virtually no closet space. There were also no blankets. A sheet and bedcover and thats it. The nights were cool while we were there. There was a lamp on the nightstand in the second bedroom with a big crack in it. This is not really even safe. I called the admin office and they brought about 20 or more hangers in a timely manner. However, their response to the blanket situation was "turn up the thermostat". We went to Walmart and bought blankets. The only can opener was also broken and they also replaced this in a timely manner. The floor isn't very clean. I washed my feet before getting into bed at night. We liked the location and the view and the beaches were beautiful. There are multiple restaurants, bars and shopping about 1 mile away. Traffic wasn't bad. Overall, we were pleased. However, I would not stay in this condo again due to the closet and blanket situation.

Thank you for a lovely, memorable week!

My sisters and I so enjoyed our visit to Okaloosa Island. We were celebrating my sisters 60th birthday. We loved the huge balcony, spending mornings and evenings playing games, eating, chatting. The beach was glorious! The sand is as white as snow and cool to the touch even though the sun was warm. We loved the beach service, what a treat that was. The property manager was a pleasure to work with, they made check in and check out so easy. Thank you for such a lovely memorable week.

Girls Beach Trip

The condo was perfect for our weekend girls trip. Unit was ready early and the property manager emailed the door code and called to let us know. The balcony was the real selling point, it is very large with lots of comfy seating. The kitchen has everything you could need except for a blender😊 The smallest thing was that I wish the description would have included that the condo has a Kuerig, that would have been helpful. There was plenty of parking, beach attendant was super helpful and never had to wait long for the elevator. It was perfectly acceptable!

Condo experience

The view was great and the rental process was easy. But I was not satisfied with the cleanliness of the condo. It did not even smell clean, the master bed sheets had stains on them and the box spring covered had a place that looked as if someone had gotten sick. Bathrooms could have definitely been cleaner. I will not stay at this condo again.

All in all, our vacation was great! This property has most everything you need for your stay! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked with everything you need, and the view was amazing!! I love that it is close enough to Destin if you want to get out, but you can stay out of the heaviest traffic if you choose. If I have to send any negatives....it would be that the cleanliness was not as great as I hoped, (the floors left our feet very dirty and the end tables in the living room looked like they hadn't been wiped off in a month. These were really the only 2 spots. Everything else was fine!) there was quite a bit of mold on the patio cushions, yhere was no working TV in the guest bedroom, and we could have used a couple of extra blankets.
