May 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hated to leave! Online photos of the condo are beautiful, but it was even better in person. Location was perfect. Loved being able to cook meals in the well-stocked kitchen and enjoy them on the balcony. Impossible to get tired of that view or the sound of the waves at night. As a solo female traveler, safety was very important. I felt very safe and comfortable during my stay. I would absolutely love to bring my family and stay again soon! ##### TC 2.

The location and size in particular. Also photos showed a recliner in the master bedroom and there wasn’t one. My husband sleeps in a recliner so he did not have a very good experience. This was one reason I booked this unit. ##### Eileen C. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DEANNA F.

This condo is in a quieter area of Ft Walton Beach but is right in the gulf. Far enough away from the hustle of Destin but close enough when you’re ready to go to town. The boardwalk at Ft Walton beach is about 2 EASY uncongested miles away with some great restaurants as well. Condo was super clean and comfortable for 4 adults and two 11 year olds. ##### Erobed Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jessica s.

The bathtubs/showers do need to be updated . The parking was not that great. We have a full size SUV and weren't able to park in the parking garage due to the tight fit.
