Jul 24, 2025 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy The place smelled of bleach and other chemicals when we checked in. It was overpowering but too hot to open windows. The bed skirt in the master was nasty. Like I don't know the last time it was washed but probably should get down between each stay. ##### Carolyn G.

Mar 29, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Location It was a great location, pools, and walk to the beach are wonderful amenities. The restaurants and shops are close and all delicious. Wonderful family vacation. The only complaint for me was the inside. There was what looked to be mold on the top of the shower and I refused to use it or let the kids. Things weren’t straight, walls, pictures, furniture, flooring threw it off and it drove me insane. Decor was out of date, needs some TLC and rearranged. Loved Fort Walton, will be returning. Loved the facility too just maybe a different or updated unit. ##### Elli B.

There is NO pocket (sliding) door to the twin bunkbed area. The floors were not cleaned prior to our arrival (feet/socks got black walking and knees of infant crawling).

The beach access & the multiple pools that were easily accessible. Didn’t realize from the pictures or listing that the lazy River was literally across the street. It would’ve been nice to have had a map for the facility. We also used the kitchen to cook & the utensils were old & need to be replaced with things you might get need to cook an actual meal. The beds were pretty decent, loved the porch but the furniture is worn out!! Just needs updated / spruced up a bit. Would stay in this location again. ##### Pollee F.

We have done a family beach vacation every year for 16 years now visiting Galveston, Mexico, Alabama and Florida. We have stayed in many condos and this particular condo was my least favorite. The property itself is wonderful, but the condo needs some work! We booked late this year and this was our only choice at the time. The pictures look better than the actual condo. Management was very accommodating and great to work with. Location of this unit was perfect, but it lacked some cleanliness and needs updating big time! The beds were comfortable for the most part, but the master mattress sinks in a bit in the middle. Patio furniture is awful and very uncomfortable!! The patio itself needs a good cleaning. The curtains in the living room need to be cleaned or replaced and the carpet in the bedrooms needs to be replaced. The pool and lazy River were wonderful! It’s a quick walk to the beach and the boardwalk with several wonderful places to eat and shop. There is a walk up bar as well. Again, the property was wonderful and this unit was in a great location, it just needs some updating! RealJoy was great to work with! I would visit again, but chose a different unit. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### L Jun 29, 2025 ##### L Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Serina B.
