"We arrived to a beautiful condo that looked and smelled visibly clean. We stayed for a week and cooked out all meals except 2 dinners so the kitchen should have about all you need. Host was very responsive. The ocean view was pretty spectacular. A quick 5 minute walk to the beach. The bar downstairs was a great little spot with live music every night. We brought our 1.5 year old twins and surprisingly was pretty toddler proof. Nice area rug In the living room and carpeted bedrooms. The kids even loved the place. We would stay In this condo again - 10/10 would recommend!"

"Condo looked exactly as pictured. It was very clean and spacious; more than enough room for our family of 4. Pool was very nice and my kids loved that it had a very shallow end that they could stand up in. Beach was just a short walk away. It took us about 5 minutes to walk to the beach (with a 5yr old and 2yr old in tow). Property is right off the highway so it’s quick easy access to get to anywhere in Marimar Beach, Destin or Fort Walton. My only suggestion (very minor, but definitely a must if you have small kids like we did) would be bring plastic ware or be prepared to grab some at the store as there are only glass cups and plates in the unit."
