So Far yet So Close
Guests said that this Okaloosa Island resort was the ideal location for those who wanted to get away from the bustle and noise of normal life, and still appreciate the easy accessibility for a good night out. Public beaches, local attractions and the strip and its restaurants sit within a ten-minute drive.

Stunning Beach
Having a great beach right on your door step while on holiday is always a treat, even more so when the beach is wonderfully clean and peaceful. Guests here loved how relaxing the beach was, reporting that due to its location and lack of other properties within close proximity really made it a relaxing bonus to enjoy.

Be Exact
Guests advised that, when booking, it was important to indicate exactly which accommodations you wanted, as not all the condos were the same. They said that condos reserved for a minimum seven-night stay, especially, were updated and enjoyed lovely beach views, while others were not so well located, and were quite dated.
negative:
Inform the Guests
