A million dollar view!!

We have stayed at various Aqua Villa units over the last 8 years and this unit is the best! Very clean well stocked unit with a nice balcony to watch the sunset or just relax. Excellent communication with the owner and we will most definitely be back to this unit again!

Friendly atmosphere

Place was overall great and was a friendly atmosphere. The only downside was the king bed was so hard it was like sleeping on the floor so I stayed sore the whole time and the pool water was so hot.

Gorgeous views

We stayed in a corner unit on the 3rd floor. The curb appeal of the bldg itself needs a little fresh paint and maintenance. The inside was cute, and clean. Kitchen was well stocked and nice appliances. King bed was comfortable and both bathrooms were clean, however in need of fresh paint on ceilings and trim. The view of the gulf is spectacular only steps away from the beach. Outdoor pool area was clean and well maintained. Would stay there again.

Beautiful view

Was a beautiful ocean front view. We couldn’t check in at 4:00 like it says. We had to wait til 5:00 to check in room. Beds were very comfortable but the couch was dated and smelled like dogs had been on it. For the price it cost, I’ve stayed in nicer places.

Exactly what we were looking for!

We usually stay some place else, but now that we have a dog, we needed some place that is pet friendly. We were not disappointed. After a 9 hour drive, it was so nice not to have to do a check in. Everything we needed was provided by email. The condo is right on the beach and the private patio that looks over the beach, is perfect for coffee in the morning. It is an older condo, but it is decorated very well and has everything you could possibly need. We will definitely be coming back!

Perfect spot On The Beach!

It’s hard to find a place that’s Pet Friendly directly on the beach, but we found the perfect spot! Aqua Vila 306 had most everything we needed to make our family’s vacation great! Especially the fact we didn’t have to leave our Yorkie behind! Just a couple of things but our host quickly responded to any issue we had. Biggest issue was only one washing machine was working at the facility which ended us at a nearby laundromat, but again our host notified the manager for needed repairs. Great stay and Loved Okalossa Island!

Comfortable and Convenient

Overall we found this unit to be quite comfortable and convenient. Beach access was great along with the balcony for enjoying the ocean from within the unit. Beds and bedding provided great sleeps and the unit was well furnished with no surprises from the online listing. Take note, what we would call the master bedroom does not have the bathroom attached. That is the price you pay for amazing sounds of the ocean from the bedroom window.

Okaloosa Island

This is the most beautiful beach I have ever seen in my life. The water was so crystal clear. Not enough days in our stay. We got out one morning and were just feet from dolphins, it was great. I could go in up to my neck and still clearly see my feet. We all loved it. We could see the fish so clear. Not a beach for finding seashells and the association washer and dryer didn't work right but now fault of anyone's here. My daughter had to find a laundry mat.

Late winter get away

Fantastic location. View was amazing , one minute to beach. Nice to have balcony. Beach is beautiful with emerald and turquoise water, crystal clear and snowy white super soft sand. Condo essentials were clean but vents on walls are filthy with black all around. Floors sticky and baseboards dirty. I would bring extra sheets and towels as only 1 set of sheets. I don’t want to have to do laundry all the time on vacation. Kitchen was clean with tons of dishes and anything you could need. All appliances were nice and clean as well as fully functioning. The towels are old and bedspreads clean but very drab.The host is super, very responsive and got cleaner to come and change sheets and bring fresh towels halfway thru stay (1 month). Laundry was always available and worked well. Condo building is nice and quiet at night. Great location to both downtown Fort Walton Beach and Destin. The chair and umbrella service included was great and much enjoyed. Overall, great spot for your vacation.

Not clean

The view was absolutely beautiful. The place itself was not ok. Ceiling was awful dirty. Vents were filthy. Bath tub in hall was NOT clean at all. Dog hair was on coach so I rolled it with a lint roller. I took and put a sheet I found in closet so I could sit on it. Shower curtain holder in hall bath was rusted. Shower door in other bathroom didn’t have track for the bottom so therefore it swayed back and forth. I feel like I should be reimbursed my pet fee since someone else’s dog hair was everywhere. I took pictures so if the owner wanted to see. To me personally it needs the ceiling painted really good. Vents cleaned. New shower curtain and rod. Glass shower door needs to be fixed before it falls on someone and the owner will be responsible. Needs new comforters or spreads and most definitely a new dish towel because it had holes all in it. Also, there was black stuff on wash rags which look like roach poop. This place needs a lot of love and tender care because like I said it was a beautiful view.

Overpriced and over rated

Given the price of this rental, we thought we were getting something luxurious. It was not the case! I could give this place 4 stars IF the price was in line with the property. It isn't! We were there for 6 weeks and got a discount for the long stay, but it was still too expensive compared to other rentals in other buildings up and down Okaloosa island. Our family stayed at another building down the road which was newer, had an in-unit washer/dryer, heated pool and trash chutes (so you don't have to carry the trash to the dumpster in the parking lot.. I am amazed that some guests gave this condo 5 stars given how old it is. Maybe they paid less than we did. The view is lovely, the kitchen is well furnished and much of the condo is OK (some idiosyncrasies that you have to work around-like the second bathroom which you get to through the closet, and a dishwasher door that scrapes the oven door, etc. etc.) but that's OK. The owner has tried to update an old property. In summary: unless you have a pet and can't find a pet-friendly accommodation, keep looking. This building accepts pets. We paid an additional fee or our small dog in addition to our inflated rental rate and still had to walk across the street and through the parking lot to find an area for the dog. I think there are other units in Aqua Villa that are owned by the same people and priced similarly.
