The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We overall enjoyed our stay at Fort Walton Beach. The staff at A Hollis Rentals was kind and responsive. The unit itself left much to be desired. The AC didn't work upon arrival (it was corrected quickly). The hurricane shutters were crooked and jammed, the windows were filthy, the porch floor needed cleaning (all these items we just corrected), and the furniture and bathrooms seemed clean but were very dated. A modest cosmetic upgrade would go a long ways toward making this unit far more appealing. ##### Brad B. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Susan A. 20 Aug 2017 #### Great spot! Close to beach, pool, etc. Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location.

Reviewer Comments: Rented this place through Chris Ault @Alicua Hollis Realty - and she was AWESOME! Had a minor maintenance issue that was fixed the same day! Condo is a little dated, but very adequate! Kitchen is very well stocked. If you are coming for the beach, it is only steps away! ##### Susan A.
