Very family friendly resort! Right on the beach, the condo was spacious, and the on site Tiki Bar and Cafe were great!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
**Rating: (4/10)**We were honestly a bit disappointed with our stay. While the location was fine and the beach itself is beautiful, the condo didn’t quite meet our expectations based on the listing. A few things to be aware of if you're considering booking:* The **master bedroom does NOT have an ocean view**, which was a bummer. You only see the ocean from the living room.* The **curtains in the living room were broken**, so we had to use a hair clip to close them for privacy at night.* **Fridge and freezer didn’t work properly** when we arrived. We had to adjust the settings ourselves to get them to cool/freeze correctly.* **No oven mitts** in the kitchen, so we had to make do with towels for cooking.* The **washer/dryer is not in the unit**, it’s down the hall and costs \2.50 per load—something we wish we knew ahead of time.* Found a **long black hair in the bed** when we first turned down the blankets, which was pretty gross.* **No basic pantry items** like salt, pepper, or oil, which most rentals usually have as starter supplies.* Beach chair/umbrella rentals were **outrageously expensive**, much higher than what we’ve paid in nearby areas like Fort Walton.* The **main pool closed at dusk**, which was frustrating since our kids love to swim. The other pools got overcrowded quickly.Overall, we felt the value just wasn’t there compared to other places we’ve stayed. Fort Walton has fewer crowds, better prices, and less hassle. Probably won’t be back.
