I love this property! My husband and I enjoyed a much needed weekend getaway. The owners invested in all the right places for their vacation home: walk right onto the beach, comfy furniture, updated kitchen, nice TV and bed! Couldn't be easier to park, walk right in and get settled. We also enjoyed Ft. Walton. We will definitely be staying here again!

A most pleasant stay!

What can I say? My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The condo was extremely clean - my wife was happy and she cleans upper upper class homes for a living. The Satterlees were very pleasant to deal with and made things very easy for us. Have stayed at many places on Fort Walton beach but this is probably my favorite. The only burr in my saddle was a neighbor's little dog that barked and howled a lot. Not the Satterlees fault for sure. Still, was an enjoyable trip and the accomodations and location made it all the more so. We will be back.

Perfect!!!

Everything was as described in the listing. Beach access was as easy as it gets. Literally 6 steps and you hit the sand from the patio. Plenty of restaurants are close by but the kitchen has everything you need if you prefer to stay in and cook. Couldn’t have asked for more in a rental property!

Perfect spot for our anniversary trip!

We had a fantastic stay for our anniversary trip. We’ve stayed on Okaloosa Island several times, but always with our kids. This time it was just the two of us and this was the perfect spot. Everything was clean and we had all that we needed. Lots of little touches such as beach towels, beach chairs, an umbrella and a fully stocked kitchen made for a perfect stay. After reading other reviews, we brought a small tote we filled with water to rinse off our feet on the patio and it was perfect! Being so close to the beach meant less stuff to lug back and forth. The lack of view from inside was completely made up for by being literal steps away from the gorgeous beach. We will definitely be back!

Small slice of paradise

Great little stay steps away from the beach and many other amenities nearby. Included were dishwasher, washing/dryer machine and some laundry/bath supplies to get us through the weekend. My only suggestion to make this great place perfect would be to upgrade rear sliding door/screen and shore up some loose bricks on the rear patio. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Perfect Getaway

This is my second stay in this unit and we will definitely stay with Aaron & Jill again. I absolutely love being able to walk right out onto the beach at any time of the day or night. This is the perfect unit for a couple. The unit is exactly as described, it has everything you will need for a short stay at the beach.

Exceptionally well appointed and right on the beach!

Jill was a great owner.Even though the view as in most ground floor units was limited. The ease and convenience of being on the first floor more than made up for it. No dragging up groceries and luggage upstairs. Going back and forth to the beach was super easy.

Looking forward to staying again

This property was perfect for a beach getaway for my husband and I . I think I’m pretty picky about the places we stay and I don’t have one bad thing to say about this place ! Super clean , bed was comfy, furniture comfy , kitchen was well stocked for making meals if you choose yo do so, the view was amazing , very short walk to ocean. I had a couple questions upon arrival and was able to get a hold of Jill quickly. We will definitely be staying here again ! Thanks Jill for everything !

Tiki beach

We have stayed at tiki beach for about 8 or 9 times . Different units , all bottom floors ( I like walking straight on to the beach ) you can’t see the water much bc of the sand dunes . But that doesn’t bother me . I love tiki beach . It’s clean and has plenty of room for we need ! I would definitely recommend this unit.

We will be back

I hate to write a positive review because this condo is a gem and I want to book again. Hosts communication was stellar. If I sent a text, there was a response within five minutes. The condo was exactly as listed. It was clean. No damp beach smell or any other offensive odors. I was impressed that there was no sand left on the floor (big pet peeve). Extra blankets and pillows were provided along with the other amenities that were listed. The condo was steps from the beach so hauling fishing gear was no problem. There is a dehumidifier in the living room. Make sure to empty it during your stay. It made a big difference and kept the condo nice and cool. We’ve stayed at a lot of VRBO’s and this one was by far the best. I suggest bringing extra wash cloths, and take a bucket. There is a outside hose to rinse off but you have to walk through sandy areas to get to the back door. We filled a bucket with water so that we could dip our toes in to make sure we weren’t tracking sand inside.

About the host

Hosted by Aaron and Jill Satterlee

It has always been a dream to own a place directly on the beach! We are so happy to be able to share our dream with you. We have spent many October break vacations on Okaloosa Island with family and friends. We found great comfort revisiting Florida's Emerald Coast year after year. We are beach people! We aim to turn our beach vacation experiences into an awesome beach vacation experience for you.

Why they chose this property

First Wave at Tiki Beach Unit 12 is located directly on the beach. It doesn't get any closer than this. So convenient to step our your back door and have your toes in the sand. A beautiful sand dune covered in sea oats enhances your view of the Gulf of Mexico Watch the sea oats sway in the Gulf breeze as you sip your drink from the high top chairs on the patio. No need lugging lunch with you to the beach. It is an easy walk from the condo to the beach to accommodate any beach breaks you'll need.

What makes this property unique

We can't stress enough how this particular building is located so close to the beach. It really doesn't get any better than this. Just steps away from your toes in the sand! This is also a small condominium, which makes for a more quaint, less congested vacation experience.
