The location was super close to the beach. We literally just have to walk/drive through the community and we are at the beach. It was also quiet but convenient to a lot of different restaurants. The condo could use some updates, but with that price it’s a good deal. ##### TR W.

The unit was very clean and well stocked for a week of relaxation. Although the unit is not on the gulf, the beach was a very short walk. There was a gorgeous view of the bay out the balcony, so the lack of "water front" was barely missed. Thank you for a great family vacation stay. ##### Emilee S.

Our family of 6 fit perfect. We had never been to Ft. Walton and it did not disappoint. We are used to staying at places that have the beach accessories like chairs and toys as well as things like extra toilet paper, paper towels, etc. Aside from those minor things that overall were not a deal breaker, we look forward to going again. We loved the pool outside of our building and the access to the beach. It was a little slice of paradise. Thankful the owners share their beautiful space. ##### Jodi C.
