DON’T trust the host!
Furnace wasn’t working. Was very slow to respond. Didn’t want to refund after we left 2 nights into a 14 day stay. Suggested we use the oven for heat. Gave us a 50% refund only after I threatened a credit card charge back. Didn’t want to communicate through the vrbo platform. Didn’t want me to contact VRBO. Wanted to mail me a check! The property is honestly fine, but I can’t give it any stars because of the owner’s treatment of us. I’ve never had a bad experience through Vrbo until this! Buyer beware!

Visiting son stationed at Eglin
The amenities and options were perfect. We used the marina, fitness center, pool, lazy river and beach. It rained one day and we still had a great time bc the location/distance for things to do was very reasonable. The location also made it easier to maximize the time with our son stationed at Eglin.

Perfect Beach Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at this property. Having two balconies (one on the bay, the other on the gulf side) allowed us to appreciate both views. Having two bathrooms was another plus. The unit was clean and equipped with everything we needed. The pool area is definitely the highlight. We enjoy the beach but would rather swim in pools so it was just what we needed. We will definitely be back!

The condo was bigger than we expected and it was surprisingly quiet for it's location, right off HWY 98. I especially enjoyed the over the highway cross bridge to the beach. The pools are neat, but a bit small. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay!
