Amazing Place/Location

This is definitely my favorite place I’ve ever stayed in Florida! The condo has everything you need & you walk right outside & you’re on the beach. This was the first time I’ve actually had interaction with the host out of the many times I’ve used VRBO & they were so awesome & kind! I will definitely be returning here for a future stay & this will be my go to spot from here on out.

Fantastic beach bungalow right on the beach

My husband and I just spent a wonderful 5 days enjoying this precious little oasis! It’s perfect for a couples’ stay...cozy and chock full of everything you need from shampoo to charcoal, a well-supplied kitchen, sunscreen, fluffy beach towels, beach chairs & boogie boards, too. We can’t wait to visit again! Thank you, Dave & Ginny, for sharing your Hideaway with the rest of us! 😁

Friendly Owners, Perfect Location

Great rental for a couple. Not sure about a child staying also since it is pretty small but it's doable. Had everything we needed. Location was SPOT ON. Restaurants and a Publix just up the road and that beautiful beach just out the back door. We'd love to make this a yearly visit.

Excellent getaway spot!

We loved our stay and will definitely go back as soon as possible! Dave and Ginny were great. It’s a perfect couples get away spot. You park right at the door and it’s right on the beach!! You also have a private patio for drinks in the evening. Also beach chairs and and umbrella for the beach. I have already referred friends to them and will continue to do so.

Beachbum paradise!

Wonderful stay!! Perfect little studio for my husband & I. We wanted a place steps from the beach that was quiet & relaxing — that’s exactly what we got! This little Beachbum studio apartment has so much character & is so inviting. The owners, Dave & Ginny, put a lot of thought into making it comfortable & unique. The beach & water were beautiful. We love to walk & run and there were safe neighborhoods & sidewalks on the main road, which was a bonus. We will definitely be back!

Perfect

This is just as described. If your looking for a beautiful beach & quiet location this is it. You just walk out the patio up a few steps on the walkway bridge & there you are….. the beach! The bungalow is cozy & the two of us were comfortable. Location is away from the hustle & bustle of the strip but it’s really only a short drive away. We hope to book this again!

Perfect Hideaway!!

Steps to the beach! Dave and Ginny have thought of everything that anyone could need. The studio is adorable and very clean. We were at the beach all day and watched old movies after dark. It’s a little slice of heaven! We have already rebooked for September. :)

Closest to the beach you can get!!!

Dave and Ginny are absolutely amazing! Very attentive and have given their little piece of paradise everything you could ever hope for in a beach house. They are kind enough to share all of their beach items; beach towels, beach chairs and an ice chest! They kitchen has a large refrigerator to store any food and drinks you may have. The bed is comfortable and it was so relaxing to stretch out the couch and cover up with a quilt. Dave and Ginny have went the extra mile to make sure your stay is one you’ll never forget!!

Truly a Beachbum Hideaway

We had a great stay. Everything was just what we needed for a mini getaway! Dave and Ginny introduced themselves and made sure we had everything we needed. Their hideaway is perfectly located to be able to enjoy the quiet and peaceful beach yet within minutes of restaurants and entertainment. Our first night we went for a peaceful bike ride (bikes provided by Dave and Ginny :) along the island where we were greeted by locals with a smile. Throughout our stay we were able to relax on the beach chairs and enjoy it all! Dolphins and stingrays were playing along the wave break on the morning of check out and it was a great ending to our vacation. We will be back soon!

We will be back!

Location, location, location! This studio is closer to the water than ANY beachfront I've ever stayed in. There was no beach service in front of the town homes, which was a bonus for us, since we used the chairs and umbrella Dave and Ginny provided. They've really thought of everything: complimentary snacks, beach gear, towels, sunscreen. We typically stay in Destin, so I was initially concerned when I saw the Ft. Walton address. However, the unit is very close to Okaloosa. There were lots of great restaurants nearby. It was our first stay, but it definitely won't be our last!

Unique studio unit steps away from beach

We really loved staying here, and it was very clean. You get a lot of bang for your buck here. There's an outdoor shower (and a normal bathroom inside too) which was which was nice to wash sand off. You can sit outside on the patio and hear the waves. The beach is just a few steps from the unit. The location is very good, a few minutes drive to the main strip with restaurants grocery stores and some shopping. There's bikes and umbrellas and chairs provided, which we appreciated. Quite a few toiletries too and even found some sunscreen in the unit, which is nice if you forgot anything. Dave and Ginny were very nice and helpful, excellent hosts and we would gladly stay here again!

Great Place & Great Stay

We were very pleased with our stay at this property. Dave was exceptionally helpful with his communication with us prior to our stay and when we did see him periodically around the property he always asked us if there was anything that we needed. This studio apartment has everything that a couple needs to enjoy a great beach vacation. It only has a kitchenette, but there is a toaster oven and an electric skillet, as well as a charcoal grill on the back patio. We love to cook, so we brought with us a small propane camp stove and grill, along with an oversized griddle, which Dave was totally fine with. The weather was nice and we were able to cook and eat all of our meals on the back patio, which was great. The studio has a murphy bed with a memory foam mattress, which was very comfortable. Overall, the unit has everything needed for a couple to have a nice, relaxing vacation. The biggest plus about this studio is its proximity to the beach. Although you cannot see the ocean from the back patio while sitting, because of the sand dunes, you can hear the waves crashing and you cannot get closer to the beach. Just through the back gate of the patio, up the stairs no more than 10 feet away, across the boardwalk, and you are on the beach. The group of townhouses where this unit is located is nestled between a couple of condo complexes, but there were never more than a few families on the beach in the couple hundred feet of beachfront that this rental offers. Okaloosa Island does have a lot of condo complexes, but the ordinances do not allow huge high-rise condo resorts. The beaches adjacent to us were busier with beach service and larger groups of primarily families, but were nowhere near as busy as places like Destin, Orange Beach, etc. Overall, we were exceptionally pleased with our stay at Beach Bums Hideaway and will definitely be returning. Dave was great and even gave us a USB drive filled with over a hundred classic rock songs for our long drive back to Michigan. Excellent hosts and an excellent no frills property!

I could hideaway here forever.

The beach access can't be beat. We spent all is our time boogie boarding right out front. The waves were ideal and we slept soundly in this perfect little gem nestled in between the condo monsters. We'll be back as soon as we can!
