    If you’re looking for a safe, clean, and well-managed place to store your watercraft, I cannot recommend Thrifty Rental enough! From the moment we arrived, Ms. Mary Ann went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She was exceptionally kind and accommodating, and she genuinely cared to ensure we had everything we needed. Customer service like hers is rare, and she made our entire experience effortless. The facility was spotless, secure, and well-maintained. Ms. Mary Ann even offered a water hose for us to use. We had complete peace of mind leaving our boat and jet skis there while we enjoyed our vacation. One of the biggest advantages was the 24-hour access Ms. Mary Ann provided, which gave us the flexibility to come and go whenever we wanted without worrying about storage hours. We could not have asked for a better place or better pricing. It’s not often that you find both an excellent facility and someone who truly takes pride in providing outstanding customer service. Ms. Mary Ann exceeded every expectation, and we are so grateful for her hospitality. We will absolutely use Thrifty Rental again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, safe, and convenient place to store their watercraft. Thank you, Ms. Mary Ann, for making our vacation even more enjoyable! We appreciate you so much! ?? ... Read more

    ????? I had an outstanding experience with Thrifty Storage, thanks to Mary Ann. I contacted her before leaving Connecticut for my move to Florida, and she went above and beyond to make the process easy and stress-free. She accommodated my requests, was incredibly responsive, and even met me after hours to ensure everything was taken care of. Mary Ann is professional, friendly, and genuinely cares about her customers. Moving can be overwhelming, but her kindness and willingness to help made a huge difference. I highly recommend Thrifty Storage, and especially Mary Ann, for anyone looking for excellent customer service and a seamless storage experience. ... Read more

    The manager here is awesome. Very friendly, helpful, and efficient. She had a spot located for our motor coach, checked us in and got all the paperwork done in less than 30 minutes.

    Did a lot of shopping in town before making the decision to go with thrifty storage. A lot of military in the area so storage companies are very big business. Ive seen soo many new companies come in and they seem to always be getting bought out or changing names. Big box companies that seem out of touch with the community. I didnt want to risk complications of contract changes had these places change owners or names. also thrifty had the best prices in town with a great starting promotion as well as no hidden or junk fees. Within the first few months there i seen thrifty updating roofs and paneling on the buildings which brought me comfort knowing they will invest in the property and keep things right. the lot is always clean with plenty of space to manuver my pickup when visiting my unit. Im 100% pleased with my entire experience here. My only honest dislike is i see people who may not necessarily "live" in the units but in easiest terms seem to be squatters they are there regularly and their units are either bare with bikes and blankets on the floor or have little furniture setup for like hanging out or staying in. you can tell they probably arent doing to well but from my experiences they stay to themselves and dont cause any issues that i know of. I feel that my belongings are secure i just feel that with such a presence i may be cautious on sending my wife or teenage children up there alone. Still giving 5 stars for space, price, cleanleness, acessability, and property upkeep. Thank you thrifty storage! ... Read more

    We needed a place to park an extra vehicle during our stay at Ft Walton Beach. The rep at Thrifty was very helpful and set us up quickly with a space to park at a very reasonable rate. While I had called right at end of business hours, she took extra time to make sure I had all the needed information and provided pictures with the parking instructions. We would definitely use this business again. ... Read more

    Very friendly and helpful with very fair pricing! I was in a bind and needed to rent a storage unit after hours, I called the number posted on the building and someone called me back immediately, they were able to get me into a unit, take payment over the phone, gave me the gate code to enter, and I was in my new unit within 30 minutes, after hours...a lock was even provided, already waiting inside the storage unit I rented for a small additional fee! Thank you so much Thrifty Storage! ... Read more
