We enjoyed our stay. The condo was comfortable. The patio needed attention. Cookware & iron needed upgrading. We had to ask for bathroom tissue & hangers for our clothing. They did respond with tissue and hangers after I called.
I don’t want to be negative but some attention would improve the condo.
Absolutely loved our stay and will be back!! The lazy river and pool were amazing and our kids could explore since were so close to it all! The private hot tub was great for cool nights. Owners were very responsive and unit was clean with lots of space!
Beautiful, perfect, condo right on the lazy river. Very accommodating and made for a great vacation! Private hot tub, garage full of beach toys and floats. We had a great vacation because of this condo.
The condo was very nicely supplied and furnished. It had everything that you would need for a nice relaxing trip. The location of the condo was great and the kids loved the direct access to the pool. The private hot tub was a bonus. We would highly recommend this to our friends and family and we would stay here again if we are ever in the area.
This condo is very nice and well stocked, beautifully designed. It has plenty of cooking utensils and beach equipment/tents/toys. The location was great and we stayed busy the entire time. It provides walking distance to activities for ex. putt putt, jet ski rentals and restaurants. Our family enjoyed our stay and would rent again in the future.
Plenty of places for everyone to sleep, we had 9 and everyone was comfortable. We didn’t have enough towels for sure but everything else was well stocked.
We love the condo. Easy access to the pool and lazy river.

Even coming out of COVID social distancing restrictions this place was amazing. Room was clean, staff was polite. We plan on going back again, our kids love the lazy river.
My family and I hat the best time and this condo was awesome!!! Very spacious and we loved the hot tub!!! We really enjoyed being in Fort Walton away from the hectic ness of Destin, but close enough if we wanted to do things there!!! The office staff I talked to on the phone was always so helpful and accommodating!!! We are already discussing going back!!!
We had our 8 year and 12 year old and it was perfect for them and us! 5 minute walk to the beach, easy access to the lazy river, and our own private hot tub was amazing! The condo was very nice and spacious. Plenty of extra blankets and pillows. Tvs in all of the rooms worked great! Couldn't have been happier with our stay!
This unit offers easy access to the lazy river. Well appointed unit. We unfortunately had a lot of rain but enjoyed all the inside space and huge covered lanai. Not to be overlooked, incredible water pressure!In this unit made getting cleaned up a breeze after a day of play!!

The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. Location was great - being able to walk out the back door to the lazy river was very convenient. The garage equipped with beach/pool supplies was great and helped getting everything over to the Gulf side. Would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful condo with more than enough room for 10+ people. The hot tub on the balcony was AMAZING and the whole resort had a lot of family friendly amenities. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad although it was kind of crowded there. Julie was easily accessible and an amazing host. Only thing is maybe more blankets in the condo and the bathtub drain fixed

This unit was wonderful but what made it the best was the owner Julie she was very helpful and very friendly. We loved it and will be back for year # 5. The condo was very clean and nice large tv in the unit for that down time.
