Had a great time mere paces from the boardwalk to the beach. My wife and I would definitely stay again. Only concern was the lack of coffee pods for the Keurig, soap for the shower, only two toilet tissue rolls, and no assigned parking spaces

Perfect for a couple!
We have stayed at condos “on the beach” before and didn’t have this short of a walk to the water! The condo is adorable and perfect for 2. It was extremely clean and right by the pool. Might get a few new pillows for the bed. And just an FYI- the bed is a Murphy bed for space. So, it’s not the most comfortable, but fine for a few nights.

Great spot
We had a great time here. Perfect space for my husband and I for a quick weekend trip to Okaloosa. The space has all the basic necessities. It's close to the Tom Thumb but more importantly super close to the beach.

Cute, Quaint & Super laid back!
The location was incredible... literally steps away from the beach and it is right next door to a convience store! The apartment was just the right size for two. There is a full size couch so maybe three people if privacy is not a concern. Mixed occupants...couples, friends, families with small kids...everyone was super nice!

This was exactly what I was looking for! We enjoyed our stay. The beach is steps away and the pool was just outside of our door. We will definitely be back.

Perfect little place RIGHT on the beach!
This cozy little studio had everything we needed for our almost week stay. Comfy bed, full bathroom, fully stocked kitchen (no stove, but that’s ok we did just fine without-plus there is a stovetop for cooking), comfy couch with full cable tv, table and chairs for dining. We spent a lot of time at the awesome pool just outside the studios door. The beach can be seen from the studio and takes less than a minute to walk right onto the white sandy shoreline! BEAUTIFUL WATER AND BREATHTAKING VIEWS!! The owners were FANTASTIC! Very quick to respond when I text them. The place was very clean and cozy and well stocked! Will definitely be back!
Absolutely a cute, quiet little studio condo. The only thing close to a complaint wasn't the accommodations. Rather the parking spots were used by non-guests. One minor request on the building is a way to darken the room at night. The porch lights remain on and could not block out with closing the blinds. Would stay here again without doubt.

Love this Property
Everything was as pictured and described. Excellent for 2 people. Best thing was location to the beach. It’s not gulf front but absolutely the next best thing. Bring a cooler to supplement the small fridge space. The only thing I wish could be changed - it’s hard to sleep in because the sun is shining early in the morning and there are no room darkening shades.

Great Space For Couples!
My fiancée and I enjoyed our stay very much! The condo was clean, A/C worked very well, and close proximity to the beach access point. The bathroom was on the smaller side, but we knew that going into it. Overall a great place to stay!

Perfect little condo near the beach
We had a wonderful time. The condo is perfect for 2 people, very close to the beach, clean, and has everything we needed. Communication with property owners was excellent. This year was our second time staying, and we will definitely be back.
This was a great place for two people. Beautiful views and a very clean room. Communication with the host was excellent. We will definitely book here again!

The perfect spot
My hubby and I wanted a few days away and to relax. This spot was perfect! The room was so cute, clean, and conveniently located. So much to do and see and a great little ocean view. Very close walk to the beach and it wasn’t busy at all in our area. I am looking forward to bringing my kids next time!

Good location
Right across from beach access as well as near several others.
The unit is clean with a little view of the gulf in between 2 buildings. Very convenient to bring stuff to the beach even if you make a few trips because it's just steps away. I like that even if the unit is small there's a lot of shelves in the bathroom which is very functional. Even the window seal by the kitchen table. A small nightstand would be nice to have. My husband and I enjoyed our stay. We'll definitely book this unit again. Thank you Karla!
