About this property

The Beach is your back yard!

Escape to the beach and enjoy vacationing in our charming condo along the Emerald Coast of the Florida Panhandle. Watch the surf and seagulls from your balcony overlooking the sparkling blue/green waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Located toward the West End of Okaloosa Island, in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida Vista Del Mar is close to miles of natural beach preserved and undeveloped. In addition to this incredible location and breathtaking views, our vacation rental is nicely furnished offering a simple, yet quaint, retreat to the beach. Visitors love the simplicity and being in a smaller complex like ours, away from the crowds in high-rises.

Enjoy easy beach access from our second floor accommodation, and the panoramic view of the white-sand beaches.

When you are not on the beach, here are a few other things that might interest you...

Main Street in Ft. Walton Beach offers unique shopping and dining along the main strip of Ft. Walton. The Gulfarium is a great way to spend part of your day. The dolphin shows are almost continuous & you can also visit all sorts of marine life such as seals, sea lions, sharks, alligators, penguins and more. One of our favorite things to do is going parasailing. Okaloosa Island offers this service, and is a favorite destination for parasailors. The views are wonderful & the ride is exhilarating. Visit the Okaloosa Island Fishing Pier, which is visible from our condominium unit. The pier is 1262 ft long and has an octagon at the end so everyone has plenty of room to fish. If you are not in to fishing you can enjoy wonderful sunsets at the pier and also get a chance to see dolphins. If you didn't bring your rod & reel, don't worry, you may rent one there.
