Location, location, location! I'm hesitant to give a review and let the secret out. It's no secret that this property sits on the most beautiful beach in Florida, but it's specific location is one of the least crowded sections of that beach. Convenient to everything and a great facility

Everything was perfect for our stay on Okaloosa Island. The condo was great and provided everything we needed. Highly recommend staying here and enjoying Okaloosa Island. We loved swimming in the pool and going to the beach and the location is perfect if you want to run to fort Walton or Destin.

Great spot! We had a wonderful time. Loved the dedicated covered parking spot and the easy access to the pool and beach. The beach tent and chairs were a huge perk. We would totally return to this location.
