Beautiful condo on perfect beach!

This condo was perfect for 8 of us. Large balcony with beautiful gulf views! Very well maintained condo and complex. The condo had anything and everything we could need. Pool area always very clean and well maintained. Our favorite part is the small size of the complex made for a quiet beachfront compared to other larger complexes nearby. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a wonderful time during our stay here. Ron and Elisa are fantastic hosts. Beautiful view of the ocean, comfortable beds, well-appointed kitchen, easy pool and beach access. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was great as well. Ron checked in with us to make sure everything was going well- great communication before, during, and after our visit.

Perfect Vacation

The condo we stayed in was perfect. Very CLEAN. The owners kept in touch, were friendly and cared about our stay. Condo was very clean with everything we needed. In a good area on the beach, between the pier and the end of the island. Everyone was friendly. I'm recommending to my friends and family.

Beach getaway

We had an amazing experience at Ron’s condo. The location was perfect. Then each wasn’t too crowded and we could walk to the pier and Okaloosa Island restaurants and shops. The room was the perfect size for the 7 of us. The stocked kitchen allowed us to save some money by eating in the room. View from the balcony and space was amazing. I would definitely rent again!!

Perfect beach vacation location

Our family of 5 had a great time staying here for fall break. Having the beach service for two chairs and an umbrella was nice, it was super convenient to walk right out the back door onto the beach. The property (both the condo itself and the complex i.e. pool, gym, etc.) were well maintained, clean and orderly. It was very nice to have a washer and dryer for the week to clean bathing suits and towels. The unit was spotless upon our arrival, and the owner let us know as soon as the unit was ready for check-in.

Cute little hidden gem!

This condo was wonderful. Checking in was great with already setting up the code to get into your space. Beautiful views of the ocean. 2 pools were great and having one that was heated was great for those cooler days in March. They have a container by the pool of left over Boogie boards and sand toys which was a great bonus to have so we didn't need to haul all our stuff there. Overall great location if your wanting to relax at the Beach.

Fantastic

The condo was a perfect fit for us. The owner was so kind to reach out quickly and answer any questions we had. The condo had everything we needed; plenty of linens, supplies (a nice extra), comfortable seating and bedding, and a beautiful view! It was close to restaurants, whether we wanted to walk or drive. The grounds were well kept, we enjoyed having easy access to chairs/umbrellas and i appreciated having staff onsite in case we had a question. It was a lovely place and we cant wait to get back for our next stay!

Great experience. Lover the location

Owner responded quickly to questions. Communicated with me that the condo was ready early (yay!) Send me all the info I needed ahead of time. Great condo. Loved having both a drip coffee and k cup coffee maker. Welcoming and clean and had nice little extras that kept us from having to run to the store. Walk to the beach was not long at all. Loved that we got a chair rental with the condo. Will book again and highly reccomend.

Great host, good condo

The host is great and great communicator. The location of the condo is great. Based on pictures, reviews, and description I expected a little more from this rental. It was cleaned before we checked in but we found several dirty things and the condition of the air vents gave us bad allergies. The living room couch had several stains, we had to clean off and wipe heavy dirt off interior doors. I’m confident that Ron will clean it up as he’s a great host it just wasn’t what we expected. We rent condos in this area every year. The room with the bunk beds is VERY tiny, not much space to open the door. Also, it’s right by the front door and felt a little off about having my kids sleep by the front door and front window. Washer and dryer work great and we were supplied with kitchen/bathroom/laundry room essentials. Kitchen appliances were good but oven heats very slowly. Check in and check out was smooth, I lost my keys and Ron had the cleaners check for my key. Super kind and helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Ron Gottheil

Host profile image
Elisa and I moved to Fort Walton Beach from Santa Barbara, Ca. early in 2021.
My parents moved to Fort Walton in 1962 after my dad retired from the Air Force. I lived in FWB until I left to join the military in 1976. We returned for family reunions over the years until we decided to make FWB our permanent home.
I have lived in or visited beach cities most of my life, which includes living for 10 years in Hawaii. Although the weather is not the best all year around the beaches are!

Why they chose this property

We chose Summer Place because of its Prime location to everything happening on the Island. It was a huge plus that the condo itself is beautiful and clean and located centrally to the pool and beach.

What makes this property unique

Despite everything the condominium offers: full kitchen, washer dryer, jacuzzi tub and shower, smart tv and cable, if you want to relax after the sun.
The day and night life within walking distance is a welcome relief. The Waffle House for breakfast, Alvin's Island for your beach needs, the Boardwalk with its shops and its many restaurants and bars. AJ's Oyster Shanty for lunch or dinner and much, much more for both the kids and adults. This is just on the Island, cross over Brooks Bridge and enjoy the more local cuisines.
