Our experience of the Fort Walton Beach was great; the waters was warmer than we thought, and swimming is possible in late December! The 3 bedroom condo was well-equipped, kitchen was clean and washer-dryer set was well-functioning; we stayed in unit #516, plenty of space for 8 family members. We enjoyed the beach as if it was an extension of the living room, overlooking through the veranda; the outside pools were biggest in the area that we've seen, open until 10PM; the dedicated and private access to the beach was awesome! This condo is like a home away from home, plus the Emerald Coast experience. The condo unit is locked by a personal combination key. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet, plenty of storage. The dedicated parking area was great and easily accessible from the unit through the stairs or elevator; there's no extra fee to what we've paid through Expedia.ca. This is a great and worry-free experience.
