Accommodations: Condominium, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 8-10)
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.
In our "just remodeled" featured unit, you can relax on your private balcony, and watch the dolphins jumping less that 100 yards away, or choose one of our other units. All units directly face the beach! Need more... Ask us about our referral network. For more pictures and information, please see our web page.

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.
