Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo is beautiful. We stayed only a few hours as the construction on the building brought out unwanted pests. The condo was super clean so don’t feel like it was from anything other then the construction. Brooks and Shorey sent us to another building. We always use B&S and will continue to, just won’t book when construction is going on again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time! My daughter was a high school senior when covid hit last year. After a tough end to the school year and a very different college experience last fall, it was the perfect place to get away from all the changes and uncertainty. My husband, 19yo daughter, 16 yo son, my mother and myself thoroughly enjoyed the condo, the pool, and the beach. The condo was perfect with room for everyone to have their own space. It was clean and nicely furnished. Hope to return there soon.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent a long girls weekend in this unit. It was large and provided enough space for 5 singles. We loved having coffee and cocktails on the balcony overlooking the surf. Next time we would choose a unit away from the pool as the kids were swimming and squeezing until 11:00 at night and we weren't able to get in the hot tub for all the kids in it. This is no fault of the management.We arrived at 5 minutes after the office closed and one of the staff reopened the office so we didn't have to return the next day ... thank you for that thoughtful consideration!!! We appreciated it. The unit was beautifully furnished and had adequate kitchenware. Great beach and much more quiet than Destin area. We went to Destin to eat some great seafood and shopping was good there too.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our families first experience staying directly on the beach/ocean front which was great! I don’t think we will ever stay off the beach again. The condo was plenty spacious for our family. Having the beach chair service included in our stay was fantastic and so worth it! The beach service guys catch a lot of flack from customers and don’t get enough credit for their hard work keeping families happy and accommodated. My only complaint was that I did find some unswept trash under the furniture but visible, the master bedroom mirror was covered with dust and the ceiling fans are very dusty and dirty. One day the water was shut off for a couple hours for repairs by the HOA and then the next day pest control came by to do routine bug spraying. We were called ahead of time about the water but not notified about the bug spray. I later found that i was emailed regarding the bug spraying but who is reading emails on vacation? It wasn’t a huge inconvenience so I’m not complaining. Outside of that, our stay was amazing and we were very pleased!! Would definitely recommend this condo!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Awesome condo, comfortable beds, wonderful furniture- nice kitchen and bathrooms! The kitchen could be a little better stocked with sharper knives and a couple blankets in the closets would be awesome! My only complaint is that the pool was freezing. It advertises the pool being heated, yet when the lows were in the 50’s, they didn’t have the heater on. I know that is not the condo owners fault! Overall we loved this unit and would definitely stay here again!

10/10

The location was absolutely perfect! A short distance from Destin and lots of great restaurants just a few blocks away. The view was incredible and ease of access to the beach was a dream. The amenities the unit had to offer made our trip even easier traveling with an 8 month old. Loved that every room has its own bathroom as well! We will definitely be back!

We had a great time staying here! Great space for all of us. Three bathrooms were perfect. Comfy and felt at home:) Beach service with the umbrellas and chairs was awesome. We rented paddle boards several times from the chair service guys and it was so convenient to have available right there. Would be nice if pool rules were enforced (there was loud music, lots of smoking, etc) but I’m sure those things vary as different guests stay. Overall, great place to stay! This was our third summer on Okaloosa Island and we just love it so much!
