Family Friendly

The staff was beyond helpful and sweet at the property. It also is completely gated which was extremely nice and added an extra sense of safety. The double beds were a tad bit on the small side, but I cannot recommend this property enough.

Great Accomodations

We took my 86 yr old grandma to see the emerald Coast and we all enjoyed it. It was easy and great for her to get in and out of the condo. The bed for get was comfortable and so grateful for the walk in shower she could use! Clean and the kitchen had everything we needed!

A+ first floor vacation!

This condo was perfect for our family of five! We were only missing the view from our ‘balcony’ but what made up for it was being able to step right out of it to either the pool or just a few more steps to the beach! The staff stayed in touch when we needed them and answered any questions we had during our vacation. Living room, furniture felt Homie and the beds were super comfortable! we would totally stay there again!

Great Place to Stay with Family/Friends

This condo was perfect for me and my friends. It was right on the beach & had plenty of room for everyone to sleep. We wish we could have stayed longer! The only negative was that our check-in was at 4:00, but the cleaning people did not get done until close to 5:00. Besides that, this condo was perfect.

Condo in Fort Walton Beach, FL

This condo was Ah-mazing! From the location, to how the unit was decorated, to the amenities, and the cleanliness was all wonderful!! Having the swimming pool right by the condo was great! I was afraid that it would be noisy but it wasn't. Being so close to the beach was so convenient and having the two chairs and umbrella available was even better! We tipped the guys who set up the chairs for us each day at the end of the trip. It is not mandatory, but they were so kind. Don't forget to have a bag or backpack to take things to the beach with you. There are two folding chairs in the condo to use later in the evening that was so nice. I would recommend this condo and I will definitely be going back! Thank you for such a great trip. The restaurants and area was also very safe and comfortable to be out walking around. All I can say, is take the vacation and STAY HERE!!

I don't recommend this location if splashing children and loud property workers bother you. No actual view of the ocean but otherwise nice.

It was just OK

Some of the power outlets didn’t work and the hair dryer looked like it had overheated and was partially melted. Every morning we had to wait or ask that our gate be unlocked by pool staff so we could access the pool. They treated us like children and we felt like they were watching every move. On our last day someone knocked on our door about 915 am and asked if we were about to leave so they could clean. That just made us stay until exactly 10.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
The main issue was there was not enough utensils and supplies for the kitchen. We went to a local store and purchased pans, a spatula, and supplies. There was not even a can-opener. There was also not enough dishes and silverware for our party. We asked for early check-in and were dismissed out of hand -- Even though we had arrived and looked at the room and could tell that is had already been cleaned and it was ready. We were told that if we could check in early, they would let us know since we were traveling with our 18 month old grandchild but we were not contacted even though the unit was ready.

The location of this unit is just perfect! Steps, STEPS from the pool and the short boardwalk to the ocean is on the other side of the pool. The bed size is better than most condos. No twin beds or bunk beds for adults trying to stretch out. The in-unit laundry was the cherry on top! TWO full bathrooms. Seriously... we love this condo and will book again!

Would not rent again

This condo is definitely a rental only. There is no way the owners would stay here. The closet in the front bedroom needs drywall work, the shower doors in the back bedroom all but fell off many times, and the drip pans on the store were so bad that one of them caught on fire the first morning we were there. The Vacasa rep brought us new drip pans that we had to replace. The beach is really nice and so is the area. Will go back to this area but will stay in a different complex.

First time in Ft. Walton

I loved how easy it was to access the beach and beach service. The washing machine unit was very helpful. I was surprised that no washcloths was in the unit but provided plenty of towels. We did see a few bugs early in the mornings. The kitchen was equipped with almost everything we needed. The walls could had used a good wash. Other than that the unit was very clean. We loved being right next to the pool but hated that we didn't see the ocean from our patio.

Okaloosa island , island echos 1L condo

Overall the condo is nice and the pool access is great and right in the beach! It sleeps 8 people comfortably. However this condo had a cockroach issue. Killed quite a lot of pests and found a HUGE roach that came from the master bedroom, not to mention in the bathrooms ( both of them) , in the silverware drawer and crawling the cabinets . Called the people over the condo and their response was get some spray and we will reimburse you bc they couldnt spray while we were there. We will not be staying here again unfortunately due to the bug issue .
