  Great property that is right on the beach - in my opinion, some of the best beaches in the US. The condo itself was well-decorated, clean, and right next to the pool and 40 yds from the beach.

  When we walked in Yacht rock music was playing on the TV which set the relaxing vibe, love it! Condo was very clean and cozy. The ease of walking out the backdoor to the pool or beach is so convenient, beach chairs and umbrella are provided , so no dragging bulky items, we just walked out with our towels, sunscreen and enjoyed.

  • Manager Responded on 5/12/2026

    "Carefree"! That's what we strive for. Glad you enjoyed the music too!

  Island Surf 11 was perfect for a quick anniversary weekend trip. It was so quiet and close to the beach. I have been coming to Okaloosa Island for years and never noticed these condos. They are hidden on the end of the island but perfect location. The condo was clean and perfect for two people who like each other. LOL There was a slight musty smell but nothing bad or enough to make me not want to come back. We will definitely keep these in mind for our next visit.

  • Manager Responded on 9/21/2025

    Thank you, Kelli! Island Surf is definitely a great, quaint, hidden little gem! Hope to see you again for your next anniversary. If you still like each other then! LOL!

  a guest from Tuscumbia, NA recommends this vacation rental

  The renters were incredibly kind, helpful, responsive and genuinely cared that we had a great stay. You can tell they put thought into every detail. Access to the beach couldn’t have been easier, we were just steps away from the sand, making it perfect for quick trips with our little one. The deep pool was super fun and such a nice bonus for cooling off after a beach day. Super clean, adorably decorated with the perfect beachy vibe, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The view was absolutely beautiful. Already planning on booking again! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful, and easy beach getaway!

  Nice, well-furnished efficiency apartment. Loved that it was right on the beach so we could take an evening walk (my husband also took a morning walk).
  Very bright, cheery room (although I would have preferred black-out shades on the window for the morning).

  My biggest complaint is that the sofa bed sits at a 90-degree angle to the TV so I got a stiff neck anytime I watched TV. It was also somewhat uncomfortable because the back is too low (for me). Aside from that, everything was OK. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen well furnished

  We enjoyed our Family Vacation at Island Surf . We have been coming to Island Surf for years . We like that it is a smaller unit without elevators and high rise close to the beach with a view and beach chairs . I would like to suggest that the gate locks on the side property near the walls have pull locks like the pool area . The gate lock on the side near beach wall is loose / unbloted . Our 5 year old was able to open the gate and I found her in the front parking lot . The gate on the other side of the property is also loose. Thank You
