Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Okaloosa Island

My family of 7 enjoyed our stay at the property. This was our second year in a row to vacation here. The house is beautiful and in a great location. It was easily handicap accessible which was super important to us. We hope to stay again next year!

The house was the perfect place to host our group of friends. There was plenty of sleeping space as well as tons of open areas in the house for all of us to gather and hang out. The house was very nice, clean, and well accommodated. We were glad the host aforementioned the possibility of a neighbor chanting/yelling out behind the property as this did occur a few times. She seemed harmless, but glad we had a warning regardless! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for the amazing memories!

Great place to stay, looked exactly like the pictures. I had a medical emergency and the hosts went above and beyond to support me and make sure I was ok. I am grateful for their responsiveness and willingness to support any way they could. Wonderful hosts!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Stay at This Fort Walton Beach Retreat! From the moment we arrived, this property felt like a welcoming home-away-from-home. The spacious living room was perfect for our family to gather for game nights and movie sessions. The modernized kitchen was a major bonus—fully equipped with updated appliances, plenty of counter space, and everything we needed to whip up hearty meals. Having a washer and dryer on site made packing up and staying organized a breeze. 🛌 Comfort & Convenience: Plush beds that felt like they were made for long, restful sleep. Abundant towels, linens, and toiletries meant we didn’t have to bring extras. Thoughtful touches like beach chairs and cooler storage showed the hosts really care about guests’ needs. 📍 Location: Easy access to beaches, local shops, and dining. Everything you need within a short drive. 💬 Host Interaction: Our hosts were responsive, friendly, and provided clear check-in instructions. They flexible with our requests.

This was our first family vacation that all of our children were able to go on in a past few years. The house and location were wonderful. I was hesitant cause we normally stay in a different area while in Destin. But this house was perfect for all of us. Close to anything and everything you could want. But yet the peacefulness that we all wanted. The pool and fenced in back yard were perfect for all of us and our 2 small dogs. Definitely was a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ vacation for all of us.

What a great stay! The house was beautiful and had everything we needed—and more! We loved relaxing in the hot tub after a day at the beach. The kitchen was fully stocked, the space was super clean, and the golf cart made getting around so easy (and fun!). They even had all the beach gear ready to go. We had such a great time—we’re already planning our next trip back!

My family and I had a great time staying in this beautiful home and neighborhood. The location was perfect. Only a short walk to the beach and so many restaurants and activities close by. We would absolutely recommend a stay here!

Our stay was amazing! The pool was a 10 out of 10 and well loved during our stay. The house was amazing and comfortable and offered our family the opportunity to spend some well needed quality time with one another. The house was also very nice and super clean.

James is amazing host- very responsive and accommodating. Place was exactly as described, great location, very cute and clean. View is amazing and pool downstairs is a big plus for the hot days. We came to Destin for baseball tournament -we love the place. Strongly recommend.

my husband and I spent a long weekend at Diana's Airbnb. the apartment was very cozy and clean. lots of outside space to sit, which unfortunately we didn't use as we were on the go. Diana was the perfect host, even provided baggetts for us one morning for breakfast. we would highly recommend her Airbnb for a couple or single person visiting the area. Charlene and Frost

Heather’s place was perfect for our week long stay. It had everything we needed and was easy to walk or drive to the beach. The pool was amazing. I definitely recommend this place to other families!

Our family stayed at the Palm's resort and enjoyed our stay. The resort had a awesome pool. The room itself was clean and seem to be maintained. As for booking and communication with Douglas was very helpful and even notified us of a overcharged that ended up saving us some money before the trip. The only drawbacks we notice was the resort doesn't notified you when the pool was closed due to weather which was hard to tell a two year old. But all in all we had a great time and would consider staying here again. Thanks

Everything was absolutely amazing! Rocky was very responsive. My family of 4 had one of the best times while staying in the condo. The view was great, the AC was cold, the king size bed was so comfortable felt like my bed at home, was able to cook while we were there instead of spending $ on eating out every-time. Was able to keep up with the laundry without having to track all the way downstairs. We will 1000% be back. I will move dates around just to make sure we stay here anytime we are in Florida!

Great stay and beautiful views! There are ocean views from every window and the balcony, I don’t believe the pictures give that justice. The beach is a short walk with one of the pools near by. Beach chairs/umbrella are not included with the condo. They are available on the beach for a daily fee of $50. We chose to buy a couple of our own chairs and an umbrella which we were able to take home since we drove. Another small piece of advice, once you enter the code to the door, pull the door knob toward you and then turn and push. Otherwise it was tricky getting in, initially. Overall we enjoyed our stay and experience at El Matador!

We stayed for a little over a month and I can’t recommend this place enough! Such a great location and the Back yard beach area is beautiful and a nice place to relax!

Overall, our stay was great. The majority of the property was booked all weekend. Little different staying in a location with multiple renters, much like a bed and brekkie. I enjoyed our space - we weren’t around much but you can hear very clearly your neighbors since it’s only a door that separates you. Quiet time is 10 and everyone followed that which was good. We enjoyed the dock the most. I sat for hours and watched dolphins play right in front of me. The dock needs some work with the sun getting to it but pretty typical in Florida. The grounds were kept clean and nice. Crystal was our co-host and she was amazing. Responsive and communicative - we were even able to check in a liter early. Bed on our side of the manor is pretty soft, so it was the couch for me as it’s more firm. I’d stay again but maybe in the guesthouse where it’s more quiet as that’s my preference. Parking can be tricky so be prepared. Three boat trailers while we stayed but I had my own space. Enjoyed it!

These are some of the best hosts we have ever had! From the moment we arrived with a tire issue, Steve was immediately friendly and helpful with multiple local repair shops to try and suit our needs. In the following days he had lots of local restaurants, dive locations and dog park recs. Their place has all the necessities you'd need on your vacation. The kitchen allowed us to cook breakfast, and prepare leftovers any day we needed. All other rooms were stocked, clean and well kept. The dogs loved to fetch n cool off in the Sound on their frequent swims. Lush foliage was a surprise as it contributed to wildlife, birds and shady temps! It is definitely the place to privately slow down, sit back an watch the sun rise on the dock as boats travel by slow and unbusily. Topping it all off was the spacious porch/yard with water hose. It spoiled us as we are usually unable to fully rinse and dry out all of our dive gear before returning home. Come and visit their oasis, you won't regret it!!

A unique and lovely experience. Perfect for disconnecting and enjoying nature. The horses were the highlight — super friendly and curious, they would come up to us on their own just to be petted.

Very nice and friendly host was there to help and had great communication. Noticed we had left some things behind and immediately notified us. Great stay.
