About this apartment rental
PREPARE TO BE ASTONISHED...
How do we put the experience of our beach front condo into words? It's a challenge, believe us. So we started by giving it a name...”Gulf Front Paradise”. If you're looking for a place that is guaranteed to "wow" you and your family and friends, look no further. Stepping inside the front door of this magnificent space is like stepping into another dimension. One that artistically and intuitively merges a tropical beach cottage style with every imaginable comfort. A coastal modern space with the exquisite sights and sounds of the Emerald Coast. The effect is a spacious stillness that invigorates and nourishes the soul.
The first thing you'll notice about our dwelling is the open, airy and drop-dead-gorgeous interior... a quality we spent a great deal of time and attention perfecting (thanks to an amazing designer with a phenomenal vision). A casual beach cottage feel that is serene, but far from boring, decadent, but with a laid-back charm and intimacy all its own, “Gulf Front Paradise” invites you to come in, slow down, linger for a while and just BE. A veritable wall of floor-to-ceiling windows frames a magnificent view of the gulf coast emerald sea and its pristine white beaches. Four sets of sliding doors... two in the master bedroom and two in the living area... lead to an expansive 30ft covered balcony outfitted with comfy, padded furniture, so perfect for afternoon cocktails while taking in the sights and sounds of the ocean.
Inside the condo, calming shades of white, sand and soft blues are bejeweled with shimmery mirrors and beautiful artwork. Aqua, navy and cobalt blue accents mix things up just enough to keep them invitingly edgy in a clean, understated way. Modern, relaxed furnishings, cozy beds, premium linens and mattresses with 3" memory foam toppers, sofas that are "just right" for taking in a movie on the new 55’ HDTV, a kitchen stocked with everything a seasoned chef could dream of is what makes “Gulf Front Paradise” stand out from all the rest.
What makes "Gulf Front Paradise" the crown jewel of Okaloosa Island?
~ LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. "Gulf Front Paradise" is one of the largest floor plans on the island boasting 1453 square feet of space. Being situated on the top floor makes it perfect for dolphin watching and from the north side guest enjoy expansive views of the Santa Rosa Sound (translation: AMAZING VIEWS IN EVERY DIRECTION!!!)
~ Completely renovated, professionally designed interior with premium everything... from 55’ HDTV's in the bedrooms and living area, to a fully stocked kitchen with all the bells and whistles... including a Keurig coffeemaker, Ninja Blender, Wusthof cutlery and everything you’ll need to cook a gourmet meal.
~ Complimentary beach service (March-October): what could make your day more perfect than a chaise and umbrella with your name on them? Just bring your towel, snacks and a good book (if you like).

First time on Okaloosa Island and we LOVED it. More quiet, peaceful area. Did not have to travel over 10 miles to get to Destin or Ft Walton to enjoy their attractions. Surf Dwellers was a great place to stay. Loved our Condo. Thank you
5.0
The property was so close to the beach and so centrally located. It made our entire vacation, much more relaxing, and enjoyable. The condo felt much larger than expected, and the huge patio was our favorite feature. The fully stocked Kitchen with every piece of equipment you could ever want made breakfast and lunches, really easy to prepare. The close location to all of the restaurants made dinner and desserts and enjoyable as well. Would absolutely recommend this location to anyone looking to stay right on the beach..

Amazing! We love coming to Ft. Walton and this trip didn’t disappoint. The condo is beautiful and looks exactly how it’s pictured. It’s very well stocked…there was nothing we needed that wasn’t already there. We had such an amazing time and can’t wait to come back.

We loved the location of this condo. The beach wasn’t crowded and the condo was very clean and updated. The view was great and only a few feet from the beach. One of our best overall places we’ve ever stayed. Will definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This unit was well equipped with all the necessary items needed for a beach stay...beach towels, comfy beds, all the kitchen gadgets you could ask for and stylish decor. We are hoping to book this unit again next year for our ladies beach trip.

This is our 2nd time staying in this unit and we loved it as much as the first time! We've stayed at several different units/buildings up and down the beach on Okaloosa Island and this is our favorite. Give it a try, book it, you won't regret it!

We had a wonderful time at the beach and the condo was wonderful! Great Gulf front views from the balcony with plenty of seating to include 6 regular chairs, 2 bar height chairs and a layout chair. All the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with nice quality silverware, dishes and pots and pans. There were plenty of boogie boards and sand toys in the kitchen closet and on the shelves in the laundry room. The included beach service of 2 chairs is a wonderful perk! You won't be disappointed if you book this beach rental.

Absolutely the most amazing condominium, view and setting. Everything was perfect as described in the advertisement for the condo. The view of the beach and beautiful blue water was breathtaking. All of our needs were met and we needed nothing with all that was included. Will definitely stay again. We were very pleased. Thank you for the hospitality!

Great, excellent, spacious condo, clean, very clean, nicely decorated, great big balcony with outdoor furniture, and terrific view of the ocean. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We had a great time, the surrounding has beautiful white sand dunes, I could go on and on. Okaloosa Island is a wonderful, beautiful place to visit!

Our stay at the beach dweller was all that we could expect. The building was under an exterior facelift but did not affect our stay. The condo was as described and was very large. The kitchen had everything that was needed and more. Beds were comfortable and the beach was great. Having a couple chairs and umbrella is a real bonus. Overall the place was great and would highly recommend

We had a great time at this property. The location couldn’t have been better, the water was beautiful and the complimentary beach chairs and umbrella was an awesome added touch. We hope to return to this property this summer and bring our children. The condo was very well done with lots of amenities and very clean. We couldn’t give it enough stars!

I have been so excited to sit down and write this review. Everything about this condo was perfect!! It was clean (and I mean clean), stocked with EVERYTHING we needed and the decor was beautiful. Parking was great and the exterior of the property was nice. There is some painting and renovation going on, but it never bothered us. The beach attendant was the sweetest and made our brief time on the beach perfect. We LOVED the digital door lock. It made life so easy!! We will definitely stay here again... no doubts about it! Thank you to our host for the great care he provided us.

Excellent stay!! Very nicely decorated, comfortable beds, clean and stocked with everything you need. Balcony was fantastic and view from the 7th floor was amazing. No complaints, highly recommend
5.0
Property was immaculate and so well appointed. The kitchen could not be more well stocked with top of the line utensils, dishware and cookware. The bedrooms were very comfortable as well with crisp linens, plenty of extra blankets as well. We could not use the very large balcony due to renovations being done, but we were just as pleased with the views --- oh those views could not have been better - we look forward to booking again very soon.

Provided the opportunity to beach,eat,sleep, repeat! Really liked that the beach services , umbrella and chairs, were included!
5.0
This place exceeded our expectations. It was, by far, the best appointed rentsl we have ever had. Every glass, dish, pot, pan, etc thst we could possibly want was there. The condo itself was roomy and comfortable. We had a great view of the gulf and got to watch the dolphins from our balcony most days. The condo itself and some of the furnishings are starting to show their age, but all of the great features more than make up. Would definitely consider staying there again.

Only wish the property owners waited another week to start prep work for new paint job - a bit loud with constant drone of power tools
