"We had stayed at the Venus before , but not in this unit. The whole place has been updated. It felt like a familiar friend but still looked new and shiny after the refits. We were just a short walk to the beach where we spent a lot of time! We will be back!"

"Me & my family loved the area, it was like a 3 min walk to the beach right out the back door, the pool was amazing, heated! The ppl at the complex was very nice everyone talked to you, the people doing the construction work always cared for my car covered it with a car cover to make sure no dust got on it.. I would recommend anyone to stay here, and I definitely will be back.."

"What a great condo! Quiet and off the beaten path but still close enough to pop into town for a quick coffee or grocery run. Beach access was easy and close and, like all of Okaloosa Island, just absolutely gorgeous white beaches. The unit was exactly as described and incredibly clean. It really did feel like a home away from home. I will definitely get this condo again the next time I travel to Fort Walton Beach."

"This is a cute, clean, updated decor, well kept condo. Perfect size for a family of 4. I did wish there was a place to leave sandy items and wet clothes. You can leave them on the back porch, but since it is ground level, we worried about our suits and items would get taken while we weren't outside. You can get to the pool out of your back door. Parking is steps from the front door. The beach is beautiful and a very short distance and walk. There are hoses and a shower to spray off sand near the pool. The community laundryroom is very nice and close. (Bring quarters for laundryroom) Easy drive to anything you want to do. I felt very safe in this area too. Upon arrival we noticed an issue with the toilet, I contacted them about it and they offered to send someone out. We didn't want to wait on someone to fix it while we were on vacation and it worked, it just had issues. Kristine said she would have it fixed once we left. She was very prompt and friendly when responding."

"From the beginning the communication was excellent and very detailed instructions. The condo is a nice little place that is just a stone’s throw away from the beach. The walk to the beach is very short and the location did not disappoint. Mainly a family environment on this side of the island. The grounds are clean and the pool is also a nice touch. The apartment is self was as pictures and was very clean. Will really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this AirBnB to friends."
