We had a great trip
Great location - just steps away from the white sand and blue water. The view is perfect from the unit with its wall of windows and sliding doors. This unit is large - bigger than most condos we’ve stayed in throughout our many visits to Fort Walton Beach. The unit and property was clean and well maintained. We will definitely stay here again

Perfect view and condo spotless. Only issues were the ice maker not working even after having maintenance work on it. Had to big bags of ice for the week. Couch cushions could use filling. Hannah was a great help and very kind. Young man at the beach service was great too.

Reviewer Comments:
The condo was just as described. Beds were comfortable, condo was clean with everything needed, and oceanfront view was wonderful. The living room furniture is beginning to show some wear, but that is to be expected with a rental. The beach was not crowded, and having the chairs/umbrella provided was a plus. The rental company was very nice, quick to respond, and provided all the information needed. We were also able to check in 2 hours early. Will definitely return.
Roomy with great amenities and attentive management
Great spot right on the water. This property has lots of stellar reviews and has earned every one of them. There's not much I can add to them, but I'll try. Great location on Okaloosa Island between Fort Walton Beach and Destin. The second floor was great as it got us up high enough to see the beach over the dunes, but not so high we complained about climbing stairs while on vacation, ha! The beach chairs and umbrella would cost $50/day but are included which is a great perk! Our teenage boys enjoyed the beach toys including the body boards. We had an issue with TV remotes and there was someone in our room addressing the issue within an hour of calling them. The washer and dryer are great additions to get the salt water out of our swimsuits before packing them back up and flying across the country. They also helped us pack a little lighter (well, some of us anyway...). Parking was a breeze as was checkout. We especially appreciated the 2 double beds in the 2nd bedroom. It was nice for our kids to have room to stretch out in their own bed. Our only recommendation is to sleep with the bedroom doors open to aid with airflow at night since there are no ceiling fans and the bedrooms got much warmer than the living room when we kept the doors closed.

We had an amazing time in Fort Walton. We received a call followed by text with information for property - NEVER had such a smooth experience getting settled. Property was exactly as described. Five-star experience.
Unit was very clean and spacious. Nice bonus was having beach chairs and an umbrella provided!
Would definitely return.

Loved our stay! Very clean! A magnificent view! Will be back.
The condo was awesome and larger than it appeared in the pictures. The cleaning crew was finished earlier than our check in and we were contacted by management allowing us to check in early. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed.
We will be back!
This is the third time we have stayed at the Surf Dweller. The condo was nice and there were no issues. The other condos at SD we stayed at in the past offered more of the little things such as beach towels and things of that nature which were nice. But overall it was an enjoyable stay and we will come back.

Great place to stay. Plenty of room. Great views of the beach. Parking was great. The condo was huge and fit all 8 of us comfortably. We hope to get the exact same room next year!!!!
Our 3 generation family stayed here for a week in September and we couldn’t be more pleased. This condo on the second floor has everything . Close to anything you might like to do, spectacular views and all the comforts of home. There were even beach toys for the kids and reading material for adults.
We would definitely come back
We were pleasantly surprised at how roomy our place was. We especially enjoyed the large balcony. Our view was incredible, and there was plenty of room for all of us!
The one problem was not enough blankets for the couch bed. We called housekeeping and got it taken care of fairly quickly.

This was a family vacation and we had loads of fun. The property is located on the beach and the full balcony was terrific for meals, games and the search for dolphins! The kitchen had what we needed to cook for the week. It wasn't noisy and no issues during our stay.
Overall, we had a great vacation at Surf Dweller #208! As it's usually advertised: "location! location! location!" has never been closer to reality. Walk down the stairs and you're on the beach with chairs and umbrella provided, great local restaurants nearby - what else to expect for lazy week at the beach? :)
The only minor suggestions for the property manager would be probably to get more pots and pans in the closet - sometimes we had to solve realtime puzzles of cooking several meals in one pan joggling food around, and invest in some sweeper broom - as a folks who like to get barefoot indoors it was quite hard to maintain floor cleanness with what's provided so we resorted to buying extra sweeper. Not that it distorted the gorgeous views and sunset chillouts on the patio thou :)
