My parents, in-laws, spouse and toddler all had a great stay here. It was perfect for us because each of us had our own bathroom along with the washer/dryer. The beds and furniture were comfortable and we especially liked the Adirondack chairs on the porch. The view was fantastic. We appreciated the many electronic strips, the elevator(bad knees) and the carts to bring your luggage and groceries. The restaurant accross the street was amazing and we loved the playgrounds nearby. Overall a great stay!

This was our first time here in the area and we traveled with a 2 year old. We found the location and proximity to both the beach and town area perfect for our small group. Only complaint was that the condo was not quite as clean as we expected upon checkin and one of the bedrooms my family found to be very hot at night. Otherwise, we had plenty of room and loved our short walk to the beach every day. Would definitely stay agai

This unit had everything needed for a great stay and memorable experience. Thanks to Brooks and Shorey Resorts for a great job in taking care of any question or issue we had during our stay. We would definitely go back there again!

10/10

The stay was great - location was nice as it’s in a quieter neighborhood. I will say that the place could possibly be updated a bit and attention made to some broken shutters and peeling paint: however, nothing that affected our stay. Something to note is that there is basically just the bare minimums so be prepared to being a bunch of your own times or to grocery shop when there. They do warn you about that. Overall it did meet expectations.

The unit was clean, well equipped, spacious, and the weather was perfect. We are staying in the same unit next month also! TV in 2nd bedroom wouldn't come on, but we didn't care.

10/10

I booked this for a family girls trip and we loved it! Check in and check out process was super easy. The hosts were extremely quick to respond to my messages. Perfect area!! It did rain some so our only complaint is the TV had random channels... nothing local or common like HGTV, ESPN, Weather Channel, etc. Other than that, we loved our stay and are already planning to come back next year!

We loved the beach and water at this condo! The condo was very accessible to the beach, the building is older and while there are some upgrades in the condo, you noticed the old building (elevators, grounds, exterior/balcony). We found the condo to be clean but not excessively clean. The property manager was very helpful when we called for a minor maintenance issue, someone came out that day. We didn’t feel the need to go to a lot of local restaurants, amenities. There wasn’t a lot around that intrigued us. Our son did like the Gulfarium. Overall, the stay was good. We went for the beach and were able to enjoy that.

The condo was very spacious, comfortable, and provided everything we needed. Each time we contacted management about something (nothing big), they were Johnny on the spot. The only drawback is the distance to the beach!! It is a haul. You have to climb 13 steps to the boardwalk and then 13 steps down and about 72 steps to the chairs. It is not handicap accessible. Luckily, the city of Ft Walton furnishes sand wheelchairs for free and we were able to get our handicapped person to the beach and back. Mind you, they are not motorized. The pool is and it was nice. There were 6 of us and we all agreed we would stay again, but if something is closer to beach would be better for us ageing ladies.

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was in a good location , near the pier which was nice. Was somewhat updated, but slider had no lock on it. Could use a Kuerig coffee maker to make it easier for guests. We did try to use the master tub... and when turning the water on black/gray water came out for about a minute or two. It was quite shocking and disgusting.
