Azure 105 - UPDATED 1st floor OCEANFRONT 3/3, Fort Walton Beach, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

We were totally blown away by the owners kindness and communication. She is absolutely the best! We had such a memorable trip. I will cherish our memories forever. Short walk to the pier and restaurants. The beach is literally steps away. The pool and hot tub right outside the door. We did not want to leave. Virginia made it so homey for everyone. We will be back.

This was a beautiful condo. Steps away from the beach, hot tub and pool. The owner was so amazing! Great to work with. I will be going back. We had such a great trip. We loved all of Virginia's suggestions. The condo was supplied with everything we needed, which made it such a stress-free vacation. We walked to the pier several times. There's restaurants of all kinds within walking distance. I highly recommend this condo.

This condo is amazing! The location is perfect, close to restaurants and shopping. The pool and beach are just a few steps away. The condo is beautifully decorated and very clean. The kitchen is well stocked. Virginia did a great job communicating with us. This was our second time we stayed in this unit and we can’t wait to go back.

This was my families second time visiting Octopus Garden. It was just lovely. It has everything you will need for your stay. The location is perfect for all ages, young and older. The best is the beach chair and umbrella rentals that are included in your stay. No hassle carrying all that stuff to the beach. It made it easy to visit the beach. The host Virgina is absolutely amazing & she makes your stay that much better.

This was our second stay at this incredible condo, and once again, it was absolutely perfect! The space is immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing vacation. We traveled with a toddler, and the thoughtful inclusion of a pack-and-play, stroller, and high chair made things so much easier for us. The beach service, which includes four chairs and two umbrellas, is a fantastic bonus. The "chair guy" clearly has a great relationship with the owner and gave us extra attention during our stay. The kitchen is well-stocked with high-quality appliances, and the large washer and dryer made it quick and easy to clean our beach towels. The location of this first-floor condo is ideal. Just steps away from the beach and pool, we never had any noise issues. We loved relaxing by the pool during nap time with a baby monitor. Our toddler was thrilled by the kid-friendly mushroom fountain at the pool! Parking and unloading was also a breeze with the nearby parking garage. However, what truly sets this condo apart is Virginia’s outstanding hospitality. From booking to checkout, she was incredibly attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. She even provided us with a fantastic list of local restaurants and activities, which was very helpful. If you’re looking for the perfect place for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation, this is it. We highly recommend it and will definitely be back!

My only regret in booking Octopus Garden is that I should have done it sooner! It was a wonderful get away with my family and we thoroughly enjoyed the condo. Beautifully decorated, very clean, well equipped, and steps from the sand. We’re looking forward to going back for sure!

We just had an amazing week plus in azure 105. The owners are fantastic hosts - very responsive and thoughtful, easy to work with!! No nuisance fees and refunded our deposit promptly after our stay. The condo is newly updated and beautifully decorated; the pool is just steps off the patio, and the condo comes with beach service chairs!! Two kings and a bunk room with 3 full baths, plenty of closet space and a good size laundry. Covered parking close to condo, easy access to the beach make this a great unit for families or couples!!! Highly recommend this condo, partly because the owners are great to work with!! Cant wait to go back!!!

Our stay at Octopus Garden was amazing. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. The Octopus Garden was a fun and peaceful retreat. The view of the beach was amazing, and we all loved having the pool just a few steps from our door. Virginia is an amazing host and provided great information and ideas for things to do and places to eat around the area. We will definitely be back again.

This was our family’s first time staying at Azure #105, but it won’t be the last! Great location, easy parking, and the kids loved being so close to the pool! The condo was super clean & the owner is very responsive & easy to work with.

We LOVE staying here! My kids request to stay here by name and call it “the Octopus place.” This unit is in the best location. The pool is just beyond the patio and is perfect for a lazy pool day! The beach is right past the pool, so it’s also easy to walk back and forth to nap/change/grab snacks/etc. The condo is well maintained and spacious, but the hosts make it literally feel like home! The decor is relaxing and they have *everything* you could need for your vacation. I look forward to our next visit!

We are heading home after a week-long vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! We truly have zero complaints. From the perfect location within the complex, to the thoughtfully stocked household items, to the quality bed and linens, Virginia’s condo made for an incredibly easy and comfortable vacation. The condo had everything that we could possibly need, including high-quality kitchen appliance, baby/toddler items, beach toys, a beach cart, games, and everything else our family of 5 needed. The property was clean and well-maintained, and the beach service staff was incredibly kind and helpful in finding the perfect beach spot each day. We quickly felt right at home in the condo as Virginia has thought of EVERYTHING. Virginia also made herself available and her communication with us was great. I truly couldn’t recommend this place enough. We will definitely be back!

If you are looking for a great condo to stay at 105 is the Best! The condo had everything you needed & more! From crockpots, cooking supplies, spices u name it, Virginia has it all! Then just outside is the pool, sand toys for kids, hot tub & steps to the beach! Inside the condo 3 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms & all kinds of stuff if you had a baby or a small toddler ! Washer & Dryer top notch & cordless vacuum awesome to get the sand up. My family has truly enjoyed our time here in Fort Walton & will definitely book again! Virginia sets you up with an easy check in, hassle free & parking pass. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home away from home with our family! Truly blessed!

This place really is beautiful. It’s right off the pool very quick walk to the beach. Not to mention everything was very clean and updated. We won’t be staying elsewhere whenever we are in Fort Walton Beach. The owners are soo nice and very responsive. I would absolutely recommend this place if you are looking to book it.

We had the most relaxing time at this beautiful condo. The location is perfect. You walk out the door and you are right at the pool and just a short walk from the beach. The condo is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. This is a wonderful stay for the entire family. Can’t wait to come back! 10/10 would recommend.

The Strunk's truly do have the best condo. I have been vacationing here every year since I was a child and now bring my own family each year as well as an adult trip each year. In the past two months I have rented their condo twice and was not disappointed! They have literally made traveling with a family as easy as every providing all things and more ya need for your kids including highchair, games, outdoor sand toys, boogie boards....you name it! This condo will be our Forever Vaca spot until we can call a place at Azure our own also, until then thank you for making such a great home away from home for us to enjoy!

The Strunk Family have really thought of everything when it comes to their condo rental. Not only is everything ready for a large group but they also have everything stocked with good quality items. The personal touches are endless within every corner you look. Truly a home a way from home. We have found the only condo we will be renting in Okaloosa from here on out!!

GREAT stay in Azure 105! Super nice accommodations and extremely convenient to the pools (just walk out the back) and beach. The 2 sets of beach chairs/umbrellas were a great extra perk. Restaurants just across the street and all other conveniences, including Destin, all within minutes. We’ll be back!!

We had an amazing stay at this condo. Being our 1st family vacation with our 7 mo old, it was such an amazing setup, super convenient location to beach and pool and stocked with baby amenities, pack n play, high chair, etc. Condo is literally footsteps from the pool right in front of the beach, so could sit in the sun while little one napped inside. Master was great size with nice big tub! Kitchen was stocked with all kitchen essentials. Brand new washer and dryer was crucial. Added bonuses was probably best crab legs across the street that was an easy few.min walk. Overall couldn't have asked for better setup, convenient location with everything we needed for an amazing vacation. Can't wait to come back.

Virginia’s condo is amazing . We have rented through VRBO many times on Okaloosa Island. This condo is the best. Clean, well stocked and amazing layout. The beds were very comfortable. The pool is just steps from the patio door which works so well with little ones when they are napping . Virginia has everything you need for little ones. Pack n play , high chairs, sound machines The white sandy beach is so amazing. The water was so clear and warm. We enjoyed long walks on the beach, dolphin, manatee sightings and just relaxing. The area restaurants had amazing local seafood. I was celebrating a very special birthday with my family , Virginia had the condo decorated which was very unexpected . I appreciate it so much . The umbrellas and chairs were an great bonus We can not wait to return .

Wonderful condo! Spotlessly clean and the best equipped unit we've ever stayed in!! Fantastic location with great pool and beach access. The 2 full sets of beach chairs/umbrellas is great, plus many other items provided by owner as well. Virginia is an absolute joy to work with, and she gave excellent communication & recommendations, and was readily available prior to/during our vacation. Stewby's Market is SO great and easy, just walked across a couple of nights for takeaway. Lots of other restaurants and grocery nearby too. Also, rented a pontoon boat to Crab Island for a half-day (great time + all really enjoyed it). Parking is easy, with great access to the unit. Security is also excellent, laid back but very present/on top of things so all felt very safe and well controlled. Grateful that you let us enjoy your condo, and we highly recommend it!!

This condo was absolutely amazing and Virginia was off the charts fantastic from the beginning. I had some concerns regarding if my mother, who is in a wheelchair, would be able to get around in the unit and enjoy the stay. Needless to say it was PERFECT for her. Not only was the unit very spacious, but the beach attendants were able to accommodate my mom to where she was able to come on the beach with us at any time. I have always been hesitant about staying in condos as we usually always stay in a house. I will say this unit is above and beyond amazing and I would stay here any time. Highly, highly recommend!!!!

We had an amazing time staying at Octopus Garden! Virginia and Randy were great hosts. They were very informative and they have thought of everything you could possible need! The convenience of the pool being steps away from the patio made our vacation so much more relaxing. Not having to catch elevators or tote all the kids beach/pool gear down everyday was a lifesaver! The condo was very spacious and comfortable. We can’t wait to visit again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Octopus Garden garden. Virginia was very helpful to answer all of my questions ahead of renting, and she sent us a very detailed list of where to eat and things to do which was amazing! The unit is beautiful and very well stocked! It is steps from the pool and hot tub. It is also a very close walk down to the beach and no stairs- just a boardwalk. My son loved the bunk room! The decor is beautiful and practical. We could walk across the street to eat or play putt putt golf which was nice. We will definitely return soon! Thank you Virginia and family for letting us rent your beautiful place.

We have spent the month of January in this beautiful condo. We’ve been coming to Okaloosa Island for the last 4 years and this is the nicest, cleanest condo we’ve stayed in. It is beautifully decorated, very clean and well equipped with everything you could imagine or need. We love being on the first floor where you can walk right outside to the pool. Virginia is so easy to work with and is always available if you need her. Thank you for sharing your condo with us Virginia. We hope to be back next year.

We spent a week at Octopus Garden and it was absolutely amazing! We go to Okaloosa Island once a year, however it was our first time staying at the Azure condominiums. I have to say this trip was our favorite! We have a 3 year old and a 13 year old and it was very important to us to be on the ground floor. We were lucky this unit became available. It was perfect…beautifully decorated, ground floor, steps away from the pool and the beach, and an easy walk from the parking garage. The condo itself had it all from spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, awesome washer, and dryer (you can do a huge load of towels at once and they are dry in 55 minutes…we will be purchasing one for ourselves after using this one), all the cooking utensils you need, beach toys, extra beach chairs, cooler, lots of games and books; not to mention it was spotless. The beach was gorgeous and having 4 chairs and 2 umbrellas provided was a huge plus. This was by far the best condo we have stayed in on Okaloosa Island. Virginia went above and beyond by providing us with highlights of things to do and favorite restaurants. We cannot wait to come back to Octopus Garden! Thank you so much Virginia for sharing your home away from home with us.

This was our first time staying at Azure condominiums. We chose the Octopus Garden because of the ground floor location, covered parking and beach service set up. Parking was easy, only had to park on 2nd level a couple times. Easy walk from parking garage to condo unit. Grounds were clean and well kept. Best part NO ELEVATORS! A flight of stairs from the 2nd level parking area but that was a breeze! The condo itself was nicely decorated and had all the things you need when away from home. Full size (huge) washer & dryer, enough beds/baths for a large group or small family, nice pots/pans and dish ware in the kitchen for cooking or snacking. We had 4 people so we weren't running over each other and everyone had privacy when needed. Access to the pool & beach were awesome. Just a few steps out the patio door and you were poolside. A little bit further and you were on the pass over to the beach. Showers along the way to rinse off when coming or going. The beach set up guys were friendly and had us set up in the same spot daily. The pool was always clean and not overly crowded. We were able to sit and relax daily by the pool if we wanted. Virginia is an excellent host. She answered any question, big or small and her welcome packet was full of helpful info and suggestions. No complaints from us on our stay at the Octopus Garden at Azure! Thank you Virginia!!

We just spent the week at Octopus Garden and it was perfection! The condo was spotless and had everything you could think of. We were surprised how peaceful and quiet it was inside the condo. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all very spacious. We loved hanging out in the living room playing games and watching movies, both of which were provided. The patio right by the pool and hot tub was super convient for our family. The white sand beach was gorgeous and we loved having 4 chairs and 2 umbrellas provided. The new washer and dryer were huge and great for doing beach towels, etc. Virginia was so helpful and amazing to work with. We can’t wait to return and stay here again!!!

We had such a wonderful time staying here at The Octopus Garden! This condo was everything we needed for a great family vacation. So convenient to the pool and beach access- 1st floor means never waiting on elevators! We had plenty of room and everyone slept so comfortably. I’ve never stayed at a condo that has included so much for your stay. Virginia has gone over and beyond to ensure we had a great vacation. From her prompt communication while booking, to the abundantly stocked condo; we were well taken care of. We usually cook every night when we go to the beach and this was the first condo to really have everything we needed in the kitchen. We also really enjoyed all of the books and games and puzzles on the day that it rained. We would love to come back in the future!

Our family of 6 absolutely loved this condo and location. Ground level, right in front of the pool, short walk to the beach. Felt very safe allowing our 4 teenagers to come and go from the beach to the pool. The condo has everything you need. Very clean, spacious. The perfect setup for our family. The washer/dryer are huge, so you can do plenty of towels at one time. Virginia was nothing but a pleasure to work with. Very informative and responsive. If you are hesitating to book this, just do it. You won’t regret it.

First of all, the location of this place of this is amazing! It has convenient access to the pool and beach (just steps away) as well as plenty of great food and things to do. It is also nice that this owner has made it super easy for families with little ones to travel! They have almost anything you can think of for you to use so that you don't have to bring the entire house (well, at least not all of it). From a high chair, to pack-n-plays and bedrails, to noise machines and monitors, to beach chairs and toys/games, these owners have truly tried to take as much stress off of parents as they can. You can tell this place is well loved and taken care of. The owners are also very responsive, helpful in providing insider tips for your stay, and easy to work with. Will definitely be back!

I have been vacationing in Destin and Okaloosa Island for 20+ years. This condo, by far has been the best one yet! Virginia goes out of her way to make you feel at home and has left nothing out. It is equipped with everything we needed. It is very spacious and you don’t feel like you are on top of one another. Also, it is absolutely gorgeous on the inside…not to mention the views on the outside. It’s the only first floor unit that I have stayed in that I could still see the ocean! This unit is so convenient to everything and only a few steps to the pool and a few more to the ocean! We will definitely be staying here again! Thank you so much Virginia for checking all our boxes!!!

We loved everything about our stay. The convenience, the wonderful communication, and tips for the best restaurants made for a lovely stay. We will be back!

The location of this immaculate condo was absolutely perfect. Steps from the pool and hot tub, and yet we couldn't hear a thing from other pool-goers when the condo doors were closed. Just a very short walk to the beach (maybe 2 minutes, less if your kids are running with excitement!). There was no need to "pack up for the day, think of all the things you'll need, and head to the beach/pool" because everything was so close. It was SO EASY to head back inside for a quick lunch, forgotten item, or nap time for the youngest while the older kids stayed to play with another adult. Virginia (the owner) has stocked her condo with everything needed for little ones (pack and play, stroller, high chair, baby monitor, kid-friendly silverware and plates, beach toys, pool toys, books, and games). She also leaves some common pantry items for guests to use, such as spices, oils, etc. She was incredibly responsive whenever I had a question prior to and during our stay, even for as insignificant of a question such as, "Where can I find the cutest Fort Walton Beach Christmas ornaments?" We had some flight issues on our way to Florida, and when Virginia found out, she went out of her way to have a special basket of goodies waiting for us when we arrived at the condo! Virginia also helped us set up our transportation service to and from the airport. The condo was exceptionally clean. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The beach chair and umbrella service was great! We would stay again in a heartbeat! I can't recommend Virginia and her beautiful condo enough!

Probably the best condo on Okaloosa Island. Virgina is so wonderful & helpful with all of her recommendations. The condo had plenty of room for our family of six. Being steps away from the pool and hot tub was amazing. Access to the beach was very easy! The condo has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing vacation! I would highly recommend & we will be back!

We LOVED staying here! The condo is spotless, beautifully decorated, and well-stocked with everything you need for a relaxing beach trip! We really appreciated how attentive Virginia was, making sure we had all we needed and promptly answering all of our questions. The first-floor location was so great, making for easy pool and beach access. There were many "little" extra things we loved like the books, games, and puzzles as well as floats and beach chairs provided for our use. Virginia also provided us with a list of activities and great restaurants nearby. The Azure complex is beautiful with two pools and a splash pad. White sandy beaches and two chairs and an umbrella are included with your stay. We have stayed at various places up and down the coast and can't say enough good things about Octopus Garden! We will be back!

This is a great place to stay !!! Just steps to the pool and hot tub!!! No steps or elevator to get to the beach and beach chairs and umbrella are included.This is a super clean unit with comfortable beds.

We absolutely loved our stay at Octopus Garden! The owner, Virginia, is hands down the best! She is available 24/7 for any questions or concerns we had. We loved the fact that it was on the first floor and easily walk out to the beach and pool, especially having 4 kids under the age of 7 in our group! Loved that the condo came equipped with play pens, high chair, stroller, sand toys and boards. It was clean when we arrived and pantry had a few stocked items that came in handy during our stay. Highly recommend staying here!

Best Place to Stay - Look no more!! Two family of four stayed several times at Azure for the week of July 4th and this condo is hands down the best. Clean and has extra house amenities (well stock kitchen) that other condos do not have. The Strunk family was great to work with from day one and very accommandating to all of our request. Steps away from the Pier and Restaurants. Will not book any other place!

Hands down the nicest condo we have ever stayed in. We would give this place 10 stars if we could. We are already booking it again for next year. If you have young children this is the perfect place. We were able to put our 3 and 1 year old down for naps/bed while we sat by the pool with monitors….and drinks. Steps away from the pool and beach. The Skrunk family will make sure it’s the best vacation you can have. Why stay anywhere else when this is the prefect place! Thank you to the Skrunk family! We can’t wait to come back!

We have been coming to Okaloosa island since 2012. We will never stay anywhere ever again. We are going to be Yearly guest, maybe even more than one stay a year. The condo is great, beautiful, and a perfect location. The Strunk family are the nicest people you will ever deal with. If I was you…. I would stop looking and go ahead and book this one. You won’t regret it!!!!!!!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Octopus Garden. It was clean, nicely decorated, and SO convenient for enjoying the pool and beach with young children. The condo is literally steps away from the heated pool so it was easy to run into the condo from the pool for snacks, bathroom, sunscreen application, etc. The beach was beautiful and we had chairs and an umbrella already set up for us. The condo is spacious with two king beds, so we could invite the grandparents along. It was also convenient to many good places to eat and activities like putt-putt for the kids. The fact that they provided a pack n play, high chair, baby monitor, and beach chairs/toys really helped us have a lighter load to pack as well. I highly recommend it!

The Octopus Garden is an amazing vacation stay. It is clean, fresh and well decorated. Amazing access to the pool and beach. We loved the ability to hop down to the beach whenever or be back at the pool. The condo had everything we needed from a well stocked kitchen, child friendly items, comfortable bedding and more. We loved every part of it and felt so well taken care of from the owners.

The Octopus Garden is a vacation destination for the whole family! From the convenient pool and beach access with this first floor condo to the little touches from the owners to make everyone feel at home - our stay here was a family vacation to remember! The condo was clean, spacious, and comfortable, beautifully decorated and outfitted with a fully functional kitchen and plenty of seating for a large family. The white, sandy beach is clean, well-kept, and holds fun for all ages from beach chairs to volleyball. The local eats — including tasty food just across the street kept us coming back for more! This was our first trip to the Octopus Garden, and it definitely won’t be our last!

This was the first time my husband and I have gone on vacation with our toddler that we actually were able to relax. The Octopus Garden is perfectly equipped for families and is perhaps the best location to enjoy the pool and beach from. The proximity from the pool/beach to the condos patio simply could not be beat. It was super easy to run back and forth and meet all my toddlers demands. The condo was clean, had a well equipped kitchen, and very comfortable beds. We felt very relaxed and at home here. The beach is so beautiful with its white sand, the beach service was on point setting up fun patterns with umbrellas every day, and never crowded. The hot tub was awesome- especially since we had the monitor at night. I wish I could use a hot tub every night before bed. We slept like babies. Thank you Strunk’s for making this a vacation to remember!

This is the way to vacation! Steps from pools, hot tubs, splash pad, and the beach/ocean just beyond a minutes walk away. Beach views from the kitchen. Perfect sandy beaches - umbrella and chairs set up daily. Virginia and Randy have provided it all. Their place is spacious, pristine, and equipped with everything you could need (board games, movies, beach toys, high chair, bunk beds, baby monitor) It was a stress-free, rejuvenating and relaxing time away for us, and we can't wait to go back. This is the way to vacation! Highly recommend!!

Octopus Garden was absolutely the perfect spot for our family of 6 to get away during the pandemic. The condo and location are beautiful and clean, and furnished with everything we needed, including a high chair, baby monitor, and beach toys! It was great for our older kids, who could head out to the beach or pool on their own while we relaxed on the patio with the toddler, who could be kept contained but happy. :) We had so much fun!! Virginia and Randy bend over backwards to make sure your stay is perfect!

We LOVED our time at Octopus Garden. It was spacious for our family of four and had every amenity we needed and then some! Loved that we could walk right out to the heated pool and hot tub and easily walk to the beach. Virginia is a thoughtful, excellent host. We can’t wait to go back!

This condo is everything it says it is! Perfect location! We had double red flags all week and it was perfect for us being steps from the pool and hot tub! Virginia is very informative and helpful. I never felt lack of communication. They definitely make it a nice enjoyable stay. Their condo is the best we have ever stayed in and we travel alot! If you have littles this is definitely one you want to check out! It was nice to be so close so when it was lunchtime we were just a few steps away. We didn't have to pack a bunch of toys etc to beach or pool. Kids were able to grab what they needed when they needed it! We will definitely be back!
