This beach condo was just as described in a beautiful area. We watched the waves and the dolphins right from the balcony. The beach was literally right in the front yard and provided miles of walking. There were many good restaurant options - many of which could be reached by walking down the beach. We loved staying here and would definitely stay here again!
Jennifer Mariner
As always, Melanie's place was stunning and exactly as listed in the description. I have had the privilege of staying here several times. I will not stay elsewhere in the area if her place is available. She is very responsive, knowledgeable of the area, and recommendations have been spot on. She is indeed a super host and would highly recommend without reservation.

Beautiful place, great attention to detail. The amenities like the beach chairs were a nice bonus. Well stocked with all the necessities. We loved the direct access to the white sand beach. We loved it, our teenagers loved it, would definitely love to stay there again.
Andrea Powell
Beautiful condo! We stayed here last year as well, and once again we had some amazing views from the balcony. That’s my favorite. The place is always clean and tidy, the best feeling is knowing it’s going to be a clean place for us to be in and we don’t have to question it. We had family come with us this trip and they said the sofa bed sleeper was very comfortable.
The beach is just a short walk from the condo. I enjoy this location because everything you need is less than a 10 minute drive, if that.
-Melanie and Ryan are always pleasant to communicate with, they make the process easy and understandable.
-You won’t go wrong with this beautiful condo.

Melanie’s condo was exactly as described. Everything was nice and clean, the furniture was comfy & dare I even say I slept on the sleeper sofa and it was even comfortable! The location was perfect, in a nice quiet area with private beach. There were beach chairs and umbrellas to rent, but the host also provided extras of chairs, umbrellas and some floats to use down at the beach. There were plenty of dishes available for our 6 person group, the fridge had a built in water dispenser which was great and the freezer had a working ice maker for our drinks. Beds were all comfy, plenty of towels provided in the bathrooms & a few extra washer pods were available to wash towels. Will definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area!
Tammy Replogle
This space was perfect for our needs. Beautifully decorated with a beach theme and of course the location is the best!! The kitchen had everything you needed for those that like to cook while on vacation. We utilized both coffee pots, a drip and a Keurig, and a great assortment of Keurig cups were provided. The space was very clean, beds comfy, lots of towels provided, even a couple of beach towels! The washer and dryer came in handy and several laundry pods and dryer sheets were provided. We especially appreciated having the beach chairs and umbrellas available to use. The balcony is large and a great spot to enjoy morning coffee or just chill and listen to the waves! My husband also appreciated having cable tv available to watch his baseball. If this spot is available, pick it quick, it was great!

We had a great experience here. Our family wanted to be away from all the traffic but close to everything when we did decide to get out and this location was exactly that. Very quick access to the room from the parking lot, this made it easy to get to the car, pool, or beach. There was no traffic on the island! The beds were comfortable, nice furniture, and plenty of kitchenware. There were beach chairs, towels, and floats available. Out of all the places I've stayed this one was equipped the most with all the little things that we tend to forget, salt and pepper for example. I would definitely stay here again.
Brittany Moon
I highly recommend to stay here. The condo was exactly what was advertised. If I had questions the owner Melanie was very quick to respond. On our way to the condo I received a call from the owner letting us know the AC wasn't cooling like it should but she had someone over immediately to fix it and it was working great when we got there. I can't say enough about this place. The view was AMAZING and it's located in the perfect spot. We had everything we needed within 5 to 10 minutes. Again I highly recommend.
Steve Bishop
Our family had a great time and loved the ocean view from our condo! We've vacationed at Sanibel Island, Hawaii, Cayman Islands, and Mexico, but we're taken aback by the white sand beaches and emerald waters of this area. After visiting Destin for the day and getting caught up in traffic delays in that area, we are so happy with choosing Okaloosa Island. It was Spring Break, but our resort beach was not crowded and there are so many neat public beach areas nearby to explore, we'll be back. Not to mention all the great seafood restaurants and markets. One of our highlights was finding a whole sand dollar on an evening walk on the beach during low tide :)
Annie Urbina
Melanie’s place is awesome. Very beautiful and clean. It was the perfect getaway for our family to be able to relax and unwind. The place had everything we needed for our getaway. Along with beautiful views of the beach which is conveniently a short walk away.
Melanie was amazing. She was very attentive and thoughtful. There was a tropical storm passing by and she showed much concern in making sure we were ok.
I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice relaxing beach getaway.
We would definitely like to go back.
