Photos and Description of the Fort Walton Beach vacation condo rental
Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6-8)

Enjoy this large, roomy condominium (1200 sq. ft.) with easy access to both pool and beach. Ideal location for those who want to keep an eye on the kids at the pool from the privacy of your own patio just steps away. This pool-side patio with private, grassy area offers protected play area for young children where you can sit and relax with your favorite summer drink. Return to the kitchen only steps away for a quick lunch or to refill that pina colada. Our private boardwalk offers access to the beautiful, white-sand beach and a viewing area to enjoy the gorgeous sunsets. The on-premises tennis court is also easily accessible.

Each room is tastefully decorated. The master bedroom is lovely with its king-sized bed and access to the patio. The two queen-sized beds in the guest room are cozy and comfortable.

Okaloosa Island is five minutes to Destin with all of its many attractions, yet this lovely location is quiet and away from the traffic of the maddening crowd. Within walking distance to the new pier and boardwalk, yet far enough away to maintain its natural charm.

Your vacation at Emerald Isle will be a memorable one for you and your family.

Relaxing Week

5 of 5
Submitted: April 23, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
This unit was very peaceful and relaxing. We felt right at home. I brought my middle school-aged daughter and her friend for spring break. There was plenty of space for us, and the view was incredible! It was a little chilly and rainy during our stay but that didn't keep us from enjoying the beach scene from the balcony. The pool was heated so the girls spent a lot of their time there, and I was able to keep an eye on them from our balcony. The ONLY problem we had was not having a pan to bake cookies or one of our dinners we had planned for the week. We improvised and used the glass baking dish that was provided. I definitely recommend this unit to a friend!

A little slice of Heaven!

5 of 5
Submitted: June 27, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
I have stayed in many condos over the years and often find them lacking a sense of home and comfort. This was not the case with this beautiful, and lovely slice of heaven. Staying in this unit was like having your own personal pool and beach. (at the time of my vacation, there were not many other guests, allowing my family free reign of the property.) I found the bedrooms extremely clean and beautifully decorated. It seems that a lot of thoughtful preparation has gone into the development of this home-away-from-home! I have absolutely no complaints about this unit or the vacation altogether. After reading the very first review on this website, I was taken aback and now after having returned from the condo, I can honestly say I disagree entirely with what was written. The doors have been changed and provide a clear view of the yard and pool. There were no sharp edges. The condo was beautifully cleaned and all the amenities were included and some. There were many additional things in the condo that are not mentioned in the description which added to the feel of home and convenience for vacationers. I highly recommend this particular unit to anyone looking to have a great vacation in a laid back setting! I can't wait to return next year!!

We stayed in this condo last week & had a wonderful time. Some friends came & stayed the first of the week & was very pleased with the condo. It was very roomy & clean. It was also very private with your own little back yard. We will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend this condo to anyone & will be telling all my family & friends to stay here.

This was our first stay at this condo. It was clean and spacious. Perfect for small children, or children of any age. Steps from the pool and the beach. Very convenient location. we will be staying at this condo every year.

What a great vacation!

We just got back from our vacation last night! We spent 6 nights at the condo, and I honestly can't think of anything about it we didn't like. I do have to say: if you are looking for plasma screen TVs and granite countertops, this is not the place for you! If you are the laid-back type who is looking for a very comfortable, wonderfully located GREAT deal, this is it! We took our 3-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter, and the condo was perfect for us. We spent a lot of time on the beach, and since we always forget something, being so close to "home" was a big plus. Reserved parking was very convenient, and the luggage carts were a super bonus! Last time we stayed on Okaloosa Island, we stayed in a lovely condo, but it was on the third floor and had no elevator. This first floor location was a nice change. We didn't get to use the pool much, because it was cold! I don't know if the management doesn't turn on the heat until later in the year or what, but it was not heated during our stay. Not a big deal! The Gulf was a perfect temperature. =0) The kids had a blast with our beach toys plus the ones they found in the closet. We had one mishap: my son decided to be a stuntman and ended up with a big cut on his temple at 9:00 on Sunday night. Luckily for us, there was a list of hospitals and clinics on the fridge! Our trip to the pediatric ER at Ft. Walton Medical Center was 2 hours from leaving the condo to getting back. That's a pretty quick ER trip. One thing that I wanted to point out for prospective renters (and this was my mistake, NOT the owners'!) is that there is no wifi in the condo itself, but we were able to pick up a signal from someone nearby. My husband wants me to mention that the water pressure in the showers was great! We've had experience with low-pressure showers in other places, and these were nice! Also - if you are not from the South, be aware that there are going to be "critters" around. My kids were fascinated by the millipedes all over the sidewalks. We didn't see any of the dreaded "palmetto bugs," though. Oh, and one more thing: yes, the sliding doors are foggy. It's salt. Facing the Gulf as they do, it's going to happen, and there's really not much that can be done about it! C'est la vie! The beach was awesome. We saw dolphins, a stingray, a few big jellyfish, and Santa Claus! Seriously! He walked by twice and waved & winked at the kids! I think it was their favorite part of the trip!

BEST bargain on Okaloosa Island

4 of 5
Submitted: July 31, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
We just got back today from a stay in this condo. This was an all adults trip, no kids! When we arrived, the condo was clean and neat. The location made it easy to go to and from the beach when we needed to run in and get something. We found it to be a great bargain for the island. This condo is as close to the pool as you can get! If we brought our kids, this is ideal because they have a grassy play area right outside the door that is helpful to keep small children entertained. We were very pleased and will be staying with them again. :)

I have stayed at this condo several times and will return again as we always have had a great experience there. The owners are so accomodating and the place is as comfortable as home. Like it very much. It is always cleaned and well equiped. And the proximity to the beach and the pool is just great.

Very OutDated

If you like the movie Animal House then this is the unit for you! Upon our arrival after 18 hours of driving we found the unit open for the world to see it was dirty very outdated. It took us an hour to clean the unit up. Then we wanted to take a shower to freshen up only to find out there was only a couple of towel that were filled with holes and stained Oh and the dirty one behind the master bedroom door so that made us wash the sheets. Then there is the sliding door issue they were both so dirty that you couldnt see out of them not to mention that they both were very hard to open and close and that they had sharp metal edges on the locks that would have cut our 2 year olds finger if it wasnt for the bandaids that we had to put around them. Out of the 4 units that my family rented this was by far the worst one.If it wasnt for the fact that we have been coming here for 15 years and rented other units we would never have stayed here. So in all we will not stay in this unit again it needs MAJOR work done in it.I am hoping for some kind of compensation for all of the miss leading info that was printed about the unit.
Owner's Response: We find this review to be very mean-spirited and not totally truthful. Our condo is NOT Animal House like. It is a very comfortable, well maintained, and nicely furnished unit with all the amenities listed on the site. There is NO misleading information. It is exactly how the pictures show it to be. Sometimes things happen that are beyond our control and the housekeeping mishap was one of those due to a miscommunication with the service. This situation has been remedied. The sliding doors were not dirty but suffer from an accumulation of moisture between the two panes of glass. These are scheduled to be replaced in August. The condo maintainance man does not see the sharp edges mentioned. One thing the reviewer failed to mention was the generous discount he received from us. He paid far from full price. We realize that in this business you can't please everyone and we do have many happy repeat customers. So if you are kind people looking for a comfortable and affordable place for your vacation PLEASE don't let this review prevent you from trying us. Thank you for your understanding.
