Great place to stay. Special should out for Elizabeth from the property management office who relocated us to this unit proactively after finding our rented unit to be too noisy because of some renovation work on the unit. She was a superstar and made sure we enjoyed our stay!

Yearly Family Vacation

Surf Dweller has been the best place to stay in Ft. Walton and room 712 has been the best room in the 5 years we've stayed. All have been different rooms just to get a feel for the different view point. Only downfall that i can think of are the elevators being slow...but hey, you're at the beach so whats the rush. Love this place

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very clean, comfortable condo. The location is quiet and easy to get in and out of. It needs a few minor repairs (kitchen faucet, washing machine, slider door) but it did not affect our stay and we notified them after we left so they could fix for the next person. I would rent again!

It’s near perfect but the bed in the master bedroom was very uncomfortable and so soft you sink into it and it’s difficult to move. All other aspects were perfect.
