This was a sisters girl trip and we had an amazing time! Everything was wonderful.
5.0
Location was great, I loved the walkway to get to the beach, and restaurants, shopping and the pier are close via the walkway. The place was super clean. My wishes would be a softer bed (all were harder, but bearable), enough warm water in the shower (ran out within 10 min all 3 days we were there), and maybe a list of things recommended to do in the area? Its always nice to hear what the host thinks is fun. We relied on Yelp, and weren't disappointed, but we had to look for specifics. Not sure we would rebook, but overall the property was usable.
5.0
We really enjoyed our stay. Had all the amenities we could ask for. Went during the off season so was really quiet. Would definitely rent this condo again.

The property was clean, cozy and comfortable beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend this property to couples or families with children or adolescents. Great location with easy access to a variety of interesting and entertaining venues. Also close to water activities and shopping.

It was such a peaceful setting, we could relax and enjoy the beauty of the area. Also easy access to the gulf which made it easy to walk along the beach.

The condo was perfect for my family. We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets from the rooftop patio. The condo was well kept and clean. Beach access was just a short walk across the bridge. Highly recommend!

Everything was smooth. Clean. Nice views.
Just a little outdated
5.0
The condo was great overall. We have stayed at this resort a few times and it was just as i remembered it. Very family friendly. We loved having the penthouse with the rooftop balcony. The breeze and view were awesome. The biggest downside was the grill to our condo messed up before we got there, so we ended up not having our private grill. But luckily we were able to use the neighbor's so it worked out. Besides that everything was great. We were very sad to leave.

Wonderful property!

Nice little get away. The place is quite and peaceful sitting out on balcony and lazy river very relaxing! Walkway over to beach was amazing. Only complaint was bed was too hard for us but the condo was clean and cozy.
5.0
The walk to the beach was a little too much for my husband. He has bad knees, And the walk was just too much.
It was truly the cleanest place I have ever stayed. And they communicated wonderfully but we would not stay again due to the walk.
Also we had a late flight in and not knowing what kind of coffee Maker they had and they have absolutely no supplies, we had to find a grocery store and get what we could. If that information was given to us I did not see it. The coffee maker converts to a Kurig, we found that out after we got there.
They also do not offer beach service. That was a huge expense and other condos do offer beach service with the rental. That is something to consider.
I will stress that it was by far the cleanest place we have ever stayed and If there were a few more amenities, I would consider staying if I went without my husband.

First time to Ft Walton with my wife & two daughters, this place couldn’t have been more perfect. The location and amenities of the property are 2nd to none. We will definitely be back.
5.0
Great location and great property. We’ve stayed at the Henderson and the Emerald Grand on our previous visit and they don’t compare to this resort. Condo was easy to find and very convenient to elevator and parking. So many pools and hot tubs to choose from. Lazy river was amazing!! Beach was amazing!! Publix was within a mile. Can’t wait to stay again.

We stayed here last year for our first trip to Destin, after booking this years trip I realized I didn’t write a review. The room was clean, they updated since these pictures were taken! Great area, not crazy busy but close enough to everything. The views of the bay were amazing, just a short walk and you were right there.
The skywalk is great to get over to the gulf side, recommend a wagon/stroller if you have toddlers! Would def stay here again.

The pictures do not do this condo justice. I was shocked at how spacious the unit actually is. The pools and hot tubs were amazing, even in late October. The piers on the bay side and the gulf side will please any fisherman! The seafood in the area is top of the line. The 2 balconies are beautiful, and my now fiancé proposed on the upper balcony! We will definitely be back, as Peg and Glenn are wonderful hosts!

Highly recommend! It was just what we needed! We went for our “Babymoon” last little getaway before the baby gets here. I was 37 weeks pregnant and just floating on the lazy river was just what i needed! The condo was perfect, we loved the rooftop balcony. The kitchen was stocked with all the utensils you could need. We definitely plan on staying here again
