About this condo rental

Situated in Okaloosa Island, this attractive condo for $856 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Destin Premier Stays is proud to present Blu #100. Blu is the newest luxury condominium project on Okaloosa Island completed July 2019. Blu #100 offers the best floor-plan at Blu with balcony not directly off the pool deck that provides more privacy for your stay. The location of Blu #100 ensures a quite stay away from the busy pool deck. (1957 Square FT Climate Controlled & 255 Square FT Private Balcony) WHAT MAKES BLU #100 SPECIAL? * NEW JULY 2019: 100% brand new from the TVs to the mattresses * LOW DENSITY: At any given time only about 30 units at Blu have owners and/or guest occupying the resort as only 20 or so are rentals * GROUND FLOOR: No stairs or elevator to reach the pool, fitness center, or beach; but with the privacy of your own TWO balconies * PRIVATE: Only ground floor unit set back not directly on the pool deck for those interested in ground floor convenience without other guest being 10 feet from your back door! (Please note access to the pool is via the front door through the lobby) * BEST FLOOR PLAN @ BLU: Largest kitchen, living/dining area, and master bedroom, and no shared walls between bedrooms allowing for privacy * NEW SMART TV's: 70" LG Living Area, 55" Samsung TV in 3 bedrooms, and a 50" in the bunk room * GAS STOVE-TOP: Extremely rare and one of only two buildings with gas on the island * FRENCH DOOR REFRIGERATOR: High end large fridge with ice maker * PANTRY: Large pantry in kitchen for food storage during your stay * SOUND BAR: Living Room (Bluetooth Link Capable) * BUNK ROOM: Ideal fun spot for the kids with a custom queen over queen bunk ready and comfortable for adults * FULL SIZE: Washer & Dryer * BEACH SERVICE: Set up for two included during season * SAFETY: The entire complex is gated with coded entry * SLEEPS 12 (In Beds) * PARKING: Two Parking Passes - one is a reserved covered parking slip directly in front of the stairs to the unit (If you are unable to take the stairs, two elevators service the parking garage). HOA only issues two parking passes per unit, having a dedicated covered spot you know you can use is helpful especially on hot summer days or should it be raining outside * NON-SMOKING: The Entire Property What makes Blu unique besides being brand new is it is on the quiet end of the island directly on the Gulf of Mexico with over 300 feet of private gulf-front living. We share all this beach with only 46 other unit owners. Our resort amenities to unit doors will be the best on the island offering two large pools (one heated), one zero entry, a beach side fire pit, huge hot tub, state of the art fitness center, gated security, and professional grilling area. This will be the least crowded condominium within 30 miles in either direction on the beach with these amenities! Our unit is an expansive 1957 square feet of heated and cooled space. This unit has the largest master bedroom, kitchen, & living/dining area of any plan at Blu! We have a huge gourmet kitchen with an over sized dining area and eat in bar! This flows to an over sized living room complete with a Smart 70" TV. Our three large bedrooms each with on suite baths and 55" Smart Samsung TV's provide excellent comfort. The master bath has a soaking tub and separate shower! In addition, we have turned the media room into a fourth bedroom with a queen over queen custom bunk bed that will have the kids fighting over who gets to sleep up top! To make sure everyone keeps clean clothes during the week we have a laundry room with full size washer and dryer. Finally, maybe the best part is we are an end unit not sharing any of our walls with neighbors, set back to provide privacy with our own balcony, while still allowing for walk out to all amenities located on the same floor of beautiful Blu! Simply head out our front door past two units, hang a left through the lobby, and you're on the pool deck! We love that we only use the elevator on arrival and departure days to unpack and pack! What we are truly excited about is our guests can go from the serenity of the quiet side of Okaloosa Island to all that is offered on the island Wild Willy's, The Gulf, The Gulfarium, and the Boardwalk is a short 2-mile walk or drive. Just past that is the excitement of downtown Fort Walton along with the Publix (grocery story) only 2.5 miles away. You can check out all that Destin Harbor and Harbor Walk Village has to offer a short 7-mile drive away! **RESTAURANTS, BARS, AND ACTIVITIES (Less than 2.5 miles and walkable)** * 15+ RESTAURANTS * GULFARIUM: Meet the Dolphins * OKALOOSA COUNTY PIER: Fishing tackle and pole rental * THE BOARDWALK: Oceanfront dining, shopping, bars, live music, playground for the kids, and volleyball courts * WILD WILLY’S ADVENTURE ZONE: Games, go-carts, 4d theatre, put/put golf, etc.! **ACTIVITIES (Short Drive away)** * PUBLIX GROCERY: Store (2.5 mile) * DOWNTOWN FORT WALTON HISTORIC DISTRICT: (2.5 mile) * INDIAN TEMPLE MOUND MUSEUM: (2.5 mile) * HARBOR WALK VILLAGE: Shopping, Dining, Fishing Charter, and Boat Rentals, (8 miles) * AIR FORCE ARMANENT MUSEUM (9 Miles) * BIG KAHUNAS WATER PARK: Water Slides (10 miles) * THE TRACK: Go Carts, Mini Golf, Bungee Jump, and Arcade (11 miles) * DESTIN COMMONS / AMC THEATER: Upscale Open-Air Mall (13 miles) * SILVER SANDS FACTORY OUTLET: Over 100 designer brand name outlet stores, (17 miles) **RESTAURANT RECOMMENDATIONS** On the Island: (Walking Distance) The best restaurant is Old Bay Steamer, it is a bit pricey but excellent. We love the atmosphere of The Gulf, this is a container ship restaurant located outside the kids will play for hours. Stewby’s is great for fresh fish at a “value” price. Fubar is on the water a bit like a dive college bar, but they have solid bar food and pizza with live music. At the boardwalk our favorite location with a view of the ocean is Rockin Taco, food is good the view is fantastic! Rick’s on the island has excellent gumbo, they use cheese grits in instead of rice! Downtown FWB: (Less than 2.5 miles away) We love the vibe of downtown FWB. It is sort of like a college bar hits a gritty arts scene. They have about 15 restaurants that are all walkable. KC’s Sandbar usually has live music outside in the sand during season with solid wings and a huge beer selection. We love Taste for tapas. The Boardroom and Cowhead have great sandwiches, too! Alis Bistro is solid Italian with a nice happy hour. They also have food trucks. Maas coffee roasters has excellent coffee! You should check for activities and festivals, too. The farmers market is the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month from 8 AM to 1 PM. Finally a bit past downtown in FWB is The Bavarian's Wirtshaus, this is an authentic German restaurant that our friend from Europe says is a close as it gets to the real deal. Destin Area Restaurants: (8 to 10 miles away) Asiago's Skillet - breakfast Crackings - breakfast Donut Hole - breakfast Boshamps Seafood and Oyster House McGuires Irish Pub Louisiana Lagniappe Brotulas

Our family of 5 enjoyed this place so much. Even being there in January, and being able to enjoy the heated pool, hot tub, and still walk straight out onto the beach was a perfect getaway. The rooms were spacious with plenty of room for our 3 teenagers. Everything was clean and all the amenities needed to prepare meals while there. Yes, we like to cook fresh fish while visiting FL. The host was great and answered all questions we had immediately. Can't wait to visit again.

With 4 bedrooms we each had plenty of space. This is a clean, comfortable, well stocked condo that is steps from the beach and pool. Set back a bit on the side of the building you can still get a glimpse of the gulf and not have all the people walking in front of you which can happen on the first floor. Caleb was quick to answer any questions we had. We would definitely book again.

Loved this condo. Huge well stocked kitchen and large well furnished bedrooms. The condo had a great floor plan as well. The first floor location is really nice for access and being off to the side isolated your balcony from the pool which we liked. Caleb was a fantastic host and was very responsive to any questions or needs that we had. We def plan to stay here again.

Our stay in Caleb’s condo was MAGICAL. Perfect place for a family with kids. This condo is gorgeous inside and out. So much space including a bunk room that my kids fell in love with and TVs in every room. All the decor was well-appointed and not cluttered. Couch and chaise were comfortable. The covered parking space allowed us easy access in and out of the condo, even on rainy days. The ground floor condo allowed us easy access to the pool and beach. The pools, especially the one with a beach ledge and fountains, were a huge hit. The beach wasn’t crowded, and the ocean water and sands were pristine. We especially appreciated the included beach chairs and umbrella which made going to and from the pool super easy. We also appreciated the beach toys that were available. We ate at some great nearby restaurants that had no wait. We found this place by chance, and we’ve never had such an easy and fun vacation. Will stay here again!!!

The condo complex was very nice and clean. Even though when I booked, I thought the condo was oceanfront and not ocean view. But our condo was in a perfect place on the first floor and had easy access to the hallway leading to the pool area and beach. The restrooms in that area were extremely nice and easy to access. The two complaints I have for the building is that the hot tub did not work except one day during our visit and it would have been great if the childrens pool was heated. We had our 5 grandkids with us and it would have been so nice for the younger ones to be able to use it. I would have rated it a 5 star if we didn’t experience these issues.
