Steamboat Landing

November 2008 We have just returned from a week at Steamboat Landing. Located directly on Santa Rosa Sound, we had beautiful views.There is a very large dock on the water.

Resort has three levels and 18 units.Elevator.A nice family friendly place.Our unit was clean and fresh

The resort staff was helpful and friendly.Our one bedroom unit was very large and could sleep 5.Besides the king bed, the living room area had a queen pullout and a twin pullout.I have to say the queen couch and the twin love seat were extremely comfortable for sitting.Many condo pullouts are so uncomfortable.A sturdy pull out wall room divider could seperate the living room(sleeping area) from the dining area and the galley kitchen.There was plenty of storage room for our clothing etc.Two TVs,VCR and DVD layer.Bath had a full tub with shower . Kitchen included a micro,stove and dishwasher,blender,mixer,toaster,coffee maker.The usual standard stuff.I appreciated the storage containers to use for leftovers.

The resort has a hottub, outdoor pool as well as an indoor pool.The indoor pool is located in a seperate building with a huge rec area.There are three levels to this building with plenty of tables and chairs for conversation, games and game tables.(vending machines too)Tastefully decorated.Glass windows and doors lead to a large outdoor area overlooking the Santa Rosa Sound.Relaxing and comfortable.What a wonderful place to keep the kids occupied in the down times. Cookouts and ice cream social are offered each week.No sales presentations. There is a shuttle that runs to the beaches if you wish.Beaches in Fort Walton are white sugar sand.Award winning too.Check out the schedule for the Blue Angels practice times at Pensacola.

The Publix grocery store,library,small shops,several restaurants are within a few short blocks away.

We can't say enough about this resort.It was great exchange and we will return. Resort is in process of upgrading the kitchens and adding new furniture this month

Reasonable price for week as owner. Great

for location to all things in area. Needs met

for accomodations when you are vacationing

and don't spend a lot of time in the condo.

This resort smells like mildew. It is a plain jane hotel. Stayed one night and left because of the odor.

All units are one bedroom. A draw curtain isolates living room area from entry door, thus providing privacy for up to 5 (King bed in bedroom, queen sofa and twin sofa pull out beds). Heated indoor pool great, especially in winter when the temp can push freezing. Dock available for fishing in sound along inland water way. Units available for sale at "give-away" prices! ($300 plus dues of $325 per year.)
