2br/2ba gulf front ground floor with a view, private balcony opens to master br and lr, wifi, private laundry, flat screen tv, seasonally heated pool, tile and vinyl throughout. We challenge you to find any condo closer to the beach than this!!! This unique southeast corner unit, two bedroom condo is about 6 feet above the sand, and about 20 feet from it. The living room has two walls of windows, and from the balcony one can see miles up the beach in either direction! You can even see, smell and hear the surf while lying in your king size master bed! Due to the unique design of this building which places you well above the sand for a great view of the beach, your front door remains at parking level, so you won't have to climb any stairs or wait on any elevators. This unit also comes with high speed internet, an inside washer/dryer, a bbq area and a heated pool. It is directly on the sugar white beach of Okaloosa island, which is between fort Walton beach and Destin.

                  • Details:

                    Located between the sleepy town of Ft. Walton Beach, and the buzzing tourist destination of Destin, we feel this 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 these buildings have fewer units than most other beaches and plenty of waterfront, the white beaches and the teal Gulf waters are never crowded, making it simply paradise! Many people say that these are the most beautiful beaches that they have ever seen. Television, surveys and magazines rate the Emerald Coast among the top ten in the world for its beautifully colored waters and sand as white as snow. You can relax on your private balcony, and watch the dolphins jumping less than 100 yards away! This unit is currently priced below similar units in this building, so book soon, before we raise prices. ...morecollapse

                    Love the area and loved the condo... We were right on the beach. Had 2 good days of weather but still had a great time. So glad I found this condo cos we are planning on using it next year too... A little piece of heaven. I have twin grand babies and it was perfect for them. On the 1st floor so easy to unload the car and not have any steps or elevator to take!! Thanks for the memories..

                    Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

                    Owner response: Thanks so much for the kind words! I am so happy that you had a good time and plan to come back. It is so relaxing at the beach, listening to the waves. All your worries just roll off of you. We are lucky in that our condo has the convenience of being on the first floor, as you mentioned, but also, since the building is raised up, you still have a great view of the Gulf and the beach. I am so glad you enjoyed yourselves and I look forward to having you back again next year. Thank you!

                    Beachfront location was ideal for relaxing on the beach. Okaloosa Island was terrific. The waves were great. The sand is awesome. The condo was perfect for us. Just 'steps' separate you from the Gulf. We'll go back again when we want to go to go to relax on the Florida sands. The condo was very clean and well stocked. The beds were very comfortable and roomy. My wife and I enjoyed the peace and quietness and the proximity to outstanding seafood restaurants in the Destin area as well.

                    Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children.

                    Owner response: Thanks so much for your nice comments! I am thrilled that you had such a fantastic time at our condo and on the wonderful Okaloosa Island. Please come back and stay with us again and when you do, remind me about our return guest discount. And you are right, the water, sand, and seafood are amazing, along with everything else on the Island!

                    We had a wonderful vacation in this condo. It has incredible views of the water and is nicely decorated throughout. The beds are real comfy. It was clean and had everything we needed. Its as close to the beach as you can get. Especially enjoyed watching sunrise and sunset from the balcony. So relaxing! Loved it so much we will be back sometime in Oct. for the Fishing Rodeo.

                    Owner response: Looking forward to having you back in October for some good fishing! I am very happy that you enjoyed staying in our condo and that it worked so well for you. It is very convenient to everything and the Gulf is right there in front of you. See you in the fall! Thank you!

                    We spent a week on Okaloosa with another couple. We had never stayed on the gulf before this trip. The sugar white sand was awesome & the blue water was gorgeous. The calm waters allowed us to enjoy watching several groups of dolphin, pelicans and even a stingray one day! Even though the temperature was cooler than expected, we thoroughly enjoyed our time together. The owner was very attentive to our needs & responded promptly when we had questions. The condo views are beautiful and the furnishings inside the condo allowed for a very pleasant stay. The condo lived up to its expectations. We would definitely stay here again. We ate at AJ's, Fudpuckers, Poppy's Crazy Lobster Bar, & Crust Pizzeria. Each place had their own unique item so we were pleased with each choice. Harborwalk Village was a fun place to wander around, shop & watch the boats. We also enjoyed exploring the Pier. We had a fantastic stay & hope it won't be our last.

                    Owner response: Thank you! I am very happy that you had a great vacation. It is so much fun to see the dolphins and other sea life. The Gulf coast is the perfect place for some well-deserved rest and relaxation for everyone. I hope you can come back to visit us again very soon. We would love to have you back!

                  Owner info

                  Year Purchased: 2007

                  About the owner: My husband and I live in Austin, Texas, with our two daughters. We vacationed on Okaloosa Island a few years ago and just fell in love with the area and wanted to make a small piece of this beautiful beach area our own. We have not seen any other beaches as gorgeous as this. The beauty of the Gulf takes your breath away. It is the perfect place for some R&R.

                  Why the Owner Chose Emerald Towers West:
                  We selected this particular vacation home because of its size, location, and accessibility. It is a small to medium size building so the beach is never crowded. There is plenty of space to spread out. It is located right on the gulf and you never feel overcrowded. The building is set up high, so even though we have all the convenience and accessibility of being on the first floor, we have a tremendous, breathtaking view. We have a physically disabled daughter and the accessibility of this vacation home makes it easy to use with her. The beach crossover is located adjacent to us, making beach access very convenient and only a very short walk.

                  The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
                  Great view from a ground floor vacation home because the building is set up high. Convenient, easy access to the beach, very close to the beach walkover. Convenient, right-at-your-door parking. Good location for those that cannot walk a long distance to the beach or the vacation home. Right on the Gulf! If you got any closer, you would be in the water! Total view sunrise-to-sunset from the wrap around balcony, living room and master bedroom.
