Location: Fort Walton Beach, Florida Main North West, Florida North West, Florida, USA (One mile from the Gulfarium, and only 15 minutes to Destin.)
Accommodations: Condominium, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 9)
These lovely two Bedroom condos, directly on the beach, are located on Okaloosa Island, which is between Fort Walton Beach and Destin. It is the best vacation destination for the family, golfer, shopper or fisherman. There are no high rises in sight, as nothing over 7 stories is allowed on Okaloosa. Because our units are in smaller buildings, and have plenty of waterfront, the white beaches and the teal Gulf waters are never crowded, making it simply paradise! Many people say these are the most beautiful beaches they have ever seen. Television, surveys and magazines rate the Emerald Coast among the top ten beaches in the world for its beautifully colored waters and sand as white as snow.
You can relax on your private floor balcony, and watch the dolphins jumping less that 100 yards away, or choose one of our beach level units, and be just a few steps from the sand, or maybe one of our lovely second floor units would be just right. All units directly face the beach! Need more ... ask us about our referral network. For more pictures and information, please see our web page
Also Gulf front WATER RESORT, side unit, private balcony, bunk room, WiFi. YOU HAVE FOUND THE BEST BUILDING ON THE BEACH! This unit was all new in June 2009! This is the only property with this level of amenities large beach front, dune crossovers with 4 freshwater showers, 2 foot washing stations leading up to a spectacular split level courtyard with 3 pools and multiple decks- one offering a zero entry point, wading pool with built in water toys, play area for toddlers and children, barbecue gas grills, incredible LAY-Z River for floating in the sunshine while refreshing in the gently winding waterway, 2 hot tubs, courtyard pavilion and an astounding 10' waterfall reminiscent of a Caribbean rainforest oasis. A fully equipped subterranean on-site fitness center peaks through adjacent to the waterfall area, so you have a nice view of the Gulf while getting in the best shape of your life. Need to have a little party or meeting- try the convenient conference room complete with a small kitchen, tables, chairs and large screen television. Kids will love the game room accessible from the main lobby. Fudpuckers is on the pool deck serving all your favorite foods and libations. Covered parking protects your car from the hot Florida sun. Stately porte cochere entrance provides very nice curb appeal and easy access from Okaloosa Island's Santa Rosa Boulevard. Interior features include stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, 8' deep balconies, floor to ceiling glass doors, breakfast bars, and travertine-look porcelain tile in entry, hall and kitchen.
These units are so close to the ocean, that you can hear, feel, and smell the sea breeze while falling asleep with the windows open. They have fully equipped kitchens, and courtesy beach chairs and umbrella provided to make your stay more comfortable. Beach service also is available.
The large private balcony in 306, 2G, 1000 and 2408 provide spectacular views of the beach, while the proximity of 105 to the beach makes either a great choice. Units 202 and 205 provide great views, easy beach access, and all at a surprisingly economical rate. One of the largest pools on Okaloosa Island is right out your door and on the beach at Aqua Villa. And Nautilus, an architectural award winner, has a solar-heated pool to allow for comfortable swimming even on cooler days. There is also a professionally landscaped cookout/picnic area where you can grill the day's fresh catch, while watching the waves roll in.
The Okaloosa Island fishing pier is only a mile walk down the beach, and can be seen from your door. The fishing boats leave Destin every morning and return home with huge catches that continue to make it "the luckiest fishing village in the world." The Gulf of Mexico offers fine bottom fishing, trolling and sport fishing, and many commercial boats operate year round with experienced captains. Charters are available for full and half day trips as well as extended trips. Everything from amberjack, grouper, snapper, king mackerel, cobia and bluefish to magnificent blue and white marlin and sailfish may be caught by the skilled fisherman.
Other types of fishing available are surf fishing, fishing from bridges and piers, casting swirling nets for mullet or going after blue crab with traps or nets. All may be done in the Fort Walton Beach area. Excellent freshwater fishing and canoeing are also available in North County on many scenic lakes.
The power-shoppers in the family will not be disappointed by this area's vast selection of malls and shopping areas. Take a day away from the sun and sand to experience a different breed of paradise amongst the trendy boutiques, factory outlets, specialty stores, and more.
Whether you're looking for thrifty buys or pricey elegance, Florida can accommodate! The nation's largest designer outlet mall is only thirty minutes away in Sandestin. Spend some time perusing the unique, open air town center Destin Commons, stroll over to Santa Rosa Mall: "The Emerald Coast's newly designed mall has all the current fashion looks in many dazzling stores.
The Santa Rosa Mall offers over 100 specialty stores, the food court, two relaxing restaurants, a 10 screen movie theatre, and a specially designed carousel." , or head out to Uptown Station for a fun outdoor shopping experience where they have something for everyone in 45 nationally and locally recognized shops!
