Frommer's Review
Offering considerably more space than a hotel normally would at these rates, this pleasant three-story enclave on western Okaloosa Island was built in the 1970s and has been well maintained ever since, though the decor is still stuck in that era (think retirement home) and should be updated. Each of the one-, two-, and three-bedroom units has a long living/dining/kitchen area, with a rear door leading to a balcony or a patio opening onto a grassy courtyard. The beach is a short walk across the dunes, and you can stroll along the undeveloped beach at an Eglin Air Force Base auxiliary facility about 600 feet away. The same management operates the new and much more luxurious Sea Crest Condominiums , and Venus guests can use the indoor/outdoor pool there.
Facilities:
Outdoor pool; tennis court; coin-op washers and dryers

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
