The parking spot was right outside the front door too. I have not stayed where I didn't have a washer and dryer, in the condo. That was not fun, but there is on site laundry services ##### Rachel B.

Construction crews were on site for most of our stay and we could not utilize the patio area attached to the condo. ##### Terry C. Stayed 30 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tiani Oct 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This was our first time using a condo on vacation as we wanted to be very close to the beach and have access to a kitchen so we could cook a few meals and also eat out. It was so clean and cozy in here, it was hard to leave! We were greeted with Okaloosa Donuts at the front door that tasted wonderful. This condo is on the first floor and the parking spot was right outside the door which was awesome for us since my grandma has a bit of a hard time walking. The pool and grill were only a few steps away and lead out to the beach. This was our first vacation with our daughter who is only a little over a year and a half old and she had the time of her life especially at the pool and beach. Any questions or concerns I had were answered very quickly and everyone I spoke with was so kind and helpful. Thank you so much for making this experience the best it could be for us, we will definitely be back! ##### Tiani Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna B.
