Okaloosa Beach Rocks!
Spectacular views from this beautifully remodeled condo! Proximity to shopping & dining was excellent as well. Only concern was the heavy traffic getting in Saturday afternoon as well any return trip to Okaloosa from Destin in afternoon rush hour. Easy to plan around…just need to be aware!

We stayed here for a week in September and had a wonderful time. The condo was exactly as advertised and perfect for our family of 5. The fact that one of the other bedrooms had an attached bathroom (besides the master) was perfect for our teenage daughter. The other bedroom was plenty large enough for the other two with plenty of room to set up our pack-n-play for our youngest. Great stay and would definitely recommend!
