Tiki Beach 32 Directly on the Beach, WOW!, Fort Walton Beach, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

This is our second visit to the unit. We enjoy it so much. The view is amazing from the balcony while having to go down to the beach. Very light and air and updated and just an amazing experience. Had my own private parking space as well! Hard to beat that! The access to the beach is so great just to be able to go down the stairs to the gate and I’m on the beach. It’s a little gem hidden between two big buildings. Been there twice and probably will go back there again. Owner was amazing to work with when we had any kind of issues.

Hi Paul, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at Tiki Beach. I have sold my Tiki 32 unit but I have 33 and 22 for rent. Hope you will return again soon. Take Care, Diane

Ann and I had a perfectly lovely time at Tiki Beach #32. The beach was pristine and gorgeous! Weather was perfect. Condo had everything we needed. Cozy but roomy enough to be very comfortable. Even with some construction going on in some nearby buildings, it was quiet as the sound of the waves hitting the shore drowned out everything else. We plan to come back next year.

Diane Botting's reply:

Hi Bill I am so happy you both enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the unit. I look forward to helping you plan another wonderful vacation. Thank You, Diane

Our first time staying here and we absolutely loved it! The unit is beautiful and very spacious for a one bedroom unit, but we had everything we needed and more. Diane has thought of everything. I'm all about a smaller condo with less vacationers, loved the assigned parking space, easy access to the beach, restaurants, shopping, Destin. We definitely recommend it and will not hesitate to stay here again!

Diane Botting's reply:

Hi Annette, I am so glad you loved the unit at Tiki Beach. I always keep the unit up to date and have a wonderful and relaxing place for my guest. I look forward to helping you again. Thank You, Diane

We love Tiki Beach Unit 32, we’ve been coming here since September 2019. It’s a great unit always so clean and comfortable. It has a beautiful view and it’s just a short walk to the amazing beach. Diane the owner has always been so friendly and helpful with handling everything. We highly recommend this condo and we will be coming back soon.

Hi Dona and Bama, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay again at Tiki Beach. I look forward to helping you again. Take Care, Diane

Second year in a row renting at Tiki Beach and we just can’t get enough. Amazing beach front views, 30 second walk to the beach. Great location that is away from the busy, but a close drive to shopping and dining. Units are clean and comfortable. Owners are prompt to reply to all needs. We hate to leave a good review as we want to keep this beach little gem quiet so we can keep coming back.

Diane Botting's reply:

Hi Lore, Im so glad you love Tiki Beach and that you enjoyed your stay again. I look forward to helping you plan many more stays at Tiki Beach. Take Care, Diane

We stayed at Tiki Beach #32 and had a perfect stay. The building was quiet, views were amazing and the location was perfect for our getaway. Everything we needed was included in the rental, we walked to the local restaurants and enjoyed all the sunsets from the 3rd floor balcony. We would definitely return!

Diane Botting's reply:

Hi Astyne, I am so happy you enjoyed your stay at Tiki Beach unit 32. I look forward to helping you plan another wonderful vacation. Thank You, Diane

It was great but too bad there isn’t an elevator. Very clean.

Diane Botting's reply:

Hi Susan, Tiki Beach is a wonderful and clean beach front unit. If you can do stairs, you cant get a better place to relax and enjoy the beach. Take Care, Diane Take Care, Diane

Beautifully decorated with wonderful beach view, We have enjoyed Tiki Beach three times. The units are clean, well stocked and convenient to restaurants on the island and town of Ft. Walton. We love being able to walk down the steps and right out to the beach.

Cannot say enough good things about renting from Diane. We have stayed in all three units many times... and will continue to do so. This time in Tiki-32. This condo is very clean and had many updates since our last stay. We will be back!!

Diane Botting's reply:

John, So happy you love Tiki Beach and all my units. We are always updating and making sure we provide a beautiful place for are guest to stay. I look forward to helping you again. Take Care, Diane

stayed In Tiki 32 for second time. All of Diane’s units -22,32,33 are great. Never disappoints. And a shout out to Diane for her gracious handling of everything from reservations to deposit refund at end of trip. We plan our trips around when Tiki units are available.

Diane Botting's reply:

Thanks Marsha, I am so happy you love Tiki Beach as much as I do. I will look forward to helping you plan another wonderful stay. Take Care, Diane

My husband and I had the best time staying at Tiki Beach for our 20 year anniversary ? we loved that there is only 9 units so it was not crowded at all being in the summer. The beach was perfect. The owner was awesome to work with and quick to respond to all my questions. She suggested some awesome restaurants for us also. We highly recommend this condo and look forward to staying again in the future.

Diane Botting's reply:

Hi Tammy, I am so glad you had a wonderful Anniversary trip to Tiki Beach. I look forward to helping you again soon. Take Care, Diane

My husband and I spent our 20 year anniversary here in Ft. Walton. We absolutely loved Tiki Beach. We loved how there is only 9 units so it was very quiet and peaceful. We definitely look forward to staying again in the future.

Diane Botting's reply:

Hi Tammy, I am so happy you loved Tiki Beach and I look forward to having you stay again. Take Care, Diane

The two of us stayed there for almost three weeks, and loved every minute of it. The view of the gulf is great. The sound of the waves is wonderful. But the best thing is the unit itself. Clean, neat, well-appointed. The king-size bed is very comfortable. And having a washer/dryer in the unit is really nice. We'll stay again!

Diane Botting's reply:

Steve and Leila, I so happy you enjoyed your stay at Tiki Beach. I look forward to helping you plan your next stay. Take Care, Diane

I have rented multiple times from Diane over the last couple of years and I must say, you will not find a better beach condo owner! She's timely in her responses, very thorough and thoughtful during your stay. She's available for questions or help if there are issues and her units are very nicely appointed. I actually hesitated writing a review because selfishly, I always want to be able to have this condo! It's a great location, easy access in and out and it's the best beach you could find. I truly love this condo and working with Diane and hope to have many more years of trips to Tiki Beach #32!

Diane Botting's reply:

Thanks Amanda, I always try to provide a wonderful clean unit and love helping each guest plan a wonderful vacation. I look forward to helping you again. Take Care Diane

Our first family vacation and couldnt have picked a better place to stay at. It is right on the beach. The view is amazing and the condo was clean and had everyhting we needed. From plates, pots, etc. in the kitchen to beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys for the beach. Our son had an amazing time! Thank you Diane!

Diane Botting's reply:

Hi Bonilla, I am so happy you and your family had a wonderful vacation at Tiki Beach 32. I always, keep my units clean and up to date with everything my guest will need. I look forward to helping you plan your next stay. Have a wonderful summer. Thank You, Diane

Over the years we have stayed at many of the condo complexes on Fort Walton Beach. But our favorite will always be Tiki Beach. We have spent numerous vacations there and it is always our first choice. every day at Tiki is a pleasure, from relaxing on the veranda and watching the dolphins pass in the morning to enjoying a romantic star filled sky at night, always with the waves crashing in the background. we much prefer the privacy and intimacy of Tiki's 9 units over the packed in feel of the crowded mega-complexes. and Diane makes the rental process so easy. She is very accommodating and over our many stays in her units she has always been very understanding and fair. I can honestly say that Diane has saved our vacation from disaster more than once (from work changing my vacation days w/ little notice to my girlfriends' fear of a hurricane [that was 200 miles away]). Tiki Beach my number one place to stay and there is no one I would rather rent from than Diane.

Diane Botting's reply:

Hi Preston, I am so happy that you and Julie love Tiki Beach and continue to return again and again. I always provide a wonderful unit and provide the best service I can for my guest. I look forward to helping you plan another wonderful stay at Tiki Beach. Have a wonderful summer. Take Care, Diane

We stayed at Tiki Beach 32 from 2/16-3/1. The condo was well equipped. The views from the deck are breathtaking and with just steps from the fabulous white sand beaches, well it's a hard combo to beat! The bed is comfortable, the kitchen made it nice to have some meals in, the washer/dryer was certainly helpful, the beach chairs were nice to have access to, and the private parking spot was very convenient. This complex doesn't have the amenities of the larger complexes, pool, tennis courts, fitness center, but that wasn't important to us. Diane was easy to work with and very responsive1 We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Diane Botting's reply:

Dan and Diana I am so happy you loved Tiki Beach 32. Tiki is a special little place to get away, I always try to keep the unit updated and clean. Let me know if I can help you in the future. Thank You, Diane

All of the furniture is very comfortable, including the king size bed. We had our own parking space and a private entrance to the beach. Tiki Beach is an ideal location; close to everything yet on a dead end road, so it's quiet and calm. We have already booked for 2020-thanks for everything Diane.

Diane Botting's reply:

Greg and Linda, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and will be staying again in 2020. Take Care, Diane

I have been here numerous times over the last few years. The views from balcony are breathtaking! Dolphins can be seen while drinking your morning coffee on the private balcony. The beach is beautiful, and the apartment has all the amenities of home, including a washer and dryer that comes in handy. Full kitchen makes it easy to cook meals and save money!

Diane Botting's reply:

So happy you enjoyed Tiki Beach, hope to see you again soon. Diane

We enjoyed another wonderful week in the sun and sand at Diane's condo the week of Sep 20th, 2018. Everything was perfect except for one afternoon when a rain storm ran us off the beach at about 3 PM. Not to worry though, we can expect rain once in a while. We took the opportunity to sit on the balcony and chat with our new friends who were staying in one of the other condos. We were pleasantly surprised to find a new range in the kitchen, new chairs in the dining area, and new decorations throughout the condo. And the new cable TV service has a lot better channel selection than before. We'll definitely be back. Thanks Diane!

Diane Botting's reply:

Mike and Grace, I am so happy you had another wonderful vacation at Tiki Beach. I always try to keep updating the unit and making it more and more enjoyable for my guest. I just added a new large flat Screen TV to the living room and a new TV to the bedroom. I am holding your dates for Sept 2019. Thank You, Diane

We loved every single thing about our stay!! This was our first time to stay in the area and after MUCH research Tiki Beach 32 remained my Top Pick! We originally planned to stay three nights, but Michael and I were enjoying ourselves SO much we stayed an extra night. Michael has NEVER wanted to stay longer anywhere so that says a lot!! : ) The condo is excellent in all aspects the layout, design, and location is wonderful! The atmosphere is so relaxing! We are huge fans of low density and privacy, so this was perfect for us. It's in a great location, because you are still just minutes away from everything. Diane is absolutely wonderful!! She left several recommendations on things to do and places to eat. Every restaurant we ate at was great, but our two favorites were Stewby's Seafood Shanty and Dewey's Seafood on Calhoun Ave. A trip to De'France Antiques is a must as well. I could go on and on about this trip. It is the best beach trip we have ever taken!! We will definitely be returning!!

Diane Botting's reply:

I am so happy you and your husband, loved tiki Beach, this is such a special relaxing place to get away and enjoy the beach. Looking forward to helping you plan your next vacation. Take Care, Diane

We rented Tiki unit 32 from Diane for Christmas week and had a great time. This small and quiet building is well maintained with easy parking and right on the gorgeous beach. Our unit was clean, comfortable and well equipped with a nice balcony looking out at the crystal clear gulf waters. You can have coffee and watch the sun rise out of the gulf in the morning and a glass of wine and watch one of the best salt water sunsets you will ever see at the end of the day. Owner Diane is very easy to interact with and we look forward to staying here again.

Diane Botting's reply:

HI Chris and Cathy, So glad you both had a wonderful stay. I will be happy to help you plan many more momories at Tiki Beach. Take care, Diane

We loved our stay at Tiki Beach 32! Beautiful 1 bedroom condo, clean and has everything you need. Loved the smaller complex! We would definitely stay again??

Diane Botting's reply:

Jeremy and Monica. I am so happy you love my Tiki Beach unit. This is a wonderful beach front unit. I look forward to helping you again. Thank You, Diane
