About this property

Spectacular Panoramic Gulf View - Private Balcony - Beachfront - Aqua Villa 206

With an amazing gulf view, a private balcony, the beach and pool at your immediate disposal, what more could you want in a getaway? Walk just a few steps to the beach and enjoy the sugar white sands and emerald green waters. Retreat to the private balcony to relish the golden sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. Come see the exquisite beaches that are among the most beautiful in the world, right here on Okaloosa Island.

Aqua Villa is a four-story, 24-unit condo building directly on the beach. Amenities include a large swimming pool, common grilling area, grass and fenced area for kids to play, poolside lounge chairs and tables with umbrellas. Because it is a smaller building, it provides a sense of intimacy with its environment of rustling palms, the scent of the gulf waters and the ever-present sound of the surf.

Conveniently located close to grocery, restaurants and shops, you won’t need to travel far for supplies or amenities while you vacation on the shore. A convenience store and post office located across the street provide for your immediate needs without even getting in your car.

This unit accommodates up to seven persons. Free Wi-Fi, flat-screen wall-mounted TVs in each room. The master bedroom has a king bed and a newly-remodeled (Dec 2019) private bath with walk-in tile shower; the second bedroom has a full bed and a single bed. A queen sofa sleeper is in the living area. The unit has a modern, fully-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar. The living area includes a four person dining table (let us know if you need it for six and we will put the leaf in before your arrival). Couch/sofabed, comfy chairs, coffee tables and lamps are newly replaced. Private balcony is furnished at cocktail height to enable spectacular gulf views. Bathrooms completely remodeled in Dec 2020 and Dec 2021. New livingroom sleeper sofa and chairs May 2024. Plenty of closet and drawer space is available for your personal items. Off street parking and carts make it easy to load and unload your vehicle. **Note that in 2024 the Association is having troubles with the condo's elevator. This unit is on the second floor and there are stairs right by this unit's door. You may need to rely on the stairs to access the unit.**

Aqua Villa and Okaloosa Island are conveniently located close to major highways and the Okaloosa Regional Airport. Ft. Walton Beach has public transportation that runs on a regular schedule from the Island to shopping and other local attractions. There is ample shopping close to Okaloosa Island. There are a number day trips you can take to see other sites including Destin, Seaside, and Pensacola, among others.

There is a number of golf courses at your disposal. If you like to fish, there are several fishing charter locations for Gulf excursions, inter-coastal and fresh water fishing. Other recreational activities include kayaking, snorkeling with dolphins, parasailing, surfing, boogie boarding, body surfing, sailing, boating, mini-golf, and beachcombing, just to name a few.

If you just want to relax, enjoy the pool area or take our umbrella and chairs to the beach (you'll find them in your unit). Aqua Villa is right on the beach where the action and relaxation meet in the most beautiful way. Come see why this is one of the nicest places you will ever find. Even if you only come once, you will always remember the time you spent in this front-row seat to paradise.

PET POLICY: While we are pet friendly, note that all dogs must be under 20 lbs. The Pet Fee is $175. Please contact us regarding additional pet and fees. Additionally, dogs must be taken off of the condo property to "do their business". Also note that Okaloosa Island beaches do NOT allow dogs. There are two dog parks nearby that you can take your dogs on the beach (ask us for this info). We will provide a complete list of Aqua Villa pet rules to you.

Fun time at ft walton beach

My family had a wonderful time at the beach! It was extremely handy to have beach chairs and a umbrella to use on the beach and many items for the kids to play with on the beach 🏝! Loved the deck patio! Such an amazing view! Saw dolphins and a sawfish and an egret.

A treat from start to finish

Such a wonderful experience on the Emerald Coast! We have stayed in other units at the property over the last 15 years, and this was by far the best experience we’ve had. Communication with the property manager was top-notch from beginning to end, including a very professional exchange during our stay. The unit was clean, cool, and convenient to the beach and great food. We look forward to booking this property again in the future!

Fantastic location for end unit condo

Awesome beach condo- fantastic location steps from the sand; loved that the condo was an end unit and had perfect views of the beach/ sunsets from the patio. Only recommendation I would make is to get new pillows- the ones in master are very flat, as well as to have a few blankets for the cooler weather and a few beach towels. Beds only had thin quilts.

Great time!

Condo was as pictured. Property owner was easily accessible and handled all issues quickly though only had minor needs. Only things I can think that could use changing is pillows weren’t great but we travel with our own so wasn’t a huge issue. The view from the condo was great and the beach was awesome. I didn’t personally get into the pool but it looked awesome. Had a great time and if we head back to the Fort Walton/Destin area in the future would definitely stay again.

Ideal Location

This is a well kept unit with a balcony and is located right on the beach and very close to the water. The air conditioning is very cold which helps me sleep at night. There was some unforeseen construction going on right outside the unit for several days which wasn't ideal but not a deal breaker either. Janet (unit manager) and Sarah (condo owner) were very responsive to my concerns and were a pleasure to deal with. I wouldn't hesitate to return to this property again in the future. As an FYI - it may have been my oversight but I thought there was a washer/dryer in the unit. There are community washer/dryers on several floors. I typically only pack a few sets of clothes for the beach and then just wash them when they get dirty. I'm more comfortable doing that in my rental than a community setting. There is a Tom Thumb convenient mart literally a 30 second walk away which is very useful. Groceries, restaurants etc. are all very close - just a few minutes drive. The week I spent there all residents/visitors were very quiet and respectful.

Great beach and pool, but the condo could use updating.

The location was what made us look past the age of the building. We had a great time on the beach and in the pool. The space was clean, but definitely could still use updates to at least the furniture and spare bath. The arm chairs were worn enough that We went and bought throw blankets to put over them to make us more comfortable relaxing on them. The mattress in the master was extremely hard, and not in a firm type of way. Just plain hard. I also wish the quilts on the bed were washed between each guest. The guest bathroom needs an update, it had that forever mildew smell. The master bath had been more recently updated so the whole family just used that one for showering. The fabric shower curtain was dirty or stained, just avoided touching more than necessary. The kitchen is very old but worked as needed. The handle of the sink was broken and I had to get electrical tape from the manager to wrap around it after cutting my finger. We would stay there again for the location and the pool, but would know to have lower expectations of the condo. And probably bring our own quilts and sheets to use on beds.

Girls Trip

We had a great time. Our host was very responsive when we contacted her and very helpful. We loved that we were literally steps away from the beach and the host had a small umbrella and 3 chairs that we were able to use on the beach! However, there were a couple of concerns. We didn’t find out until 1 week prior to arrival that the elevator was not working and we would have to carry our luggage up the stairs to our condo. This was not a concern for us, but could be very problematic if someone is unable to do the stairs. That should be listed in the listing information. An electric vacuum was provided, but was so dirty we had to clean it before we used it. I would recommend having a broom and dustpan available for easy sand cleanup.

One of the best places we had a vacation

We stayed for a week - a couple of 40+ and a teenager son plus pet. The unit has a plenty of space, all small things were found there, like power extenders with multiple sockets, clock and other stuff usually missing in other units. Everything we were need was there. We were very satisfied. It looks like renovation was done recently. Furniture is good. Wat I liked: Location is perfect, walking distance to the local store; pool is available at night and not crowdy; the beach is so close; the balcony has amazing view, we saw dolphins in the mornings. Things you should be aware of: 1. The washer and dryer are shared. One set per floor and cost is $4.25 per load ($2.25 + $2). You should use app to pay and can charge it for $5 only, so you loose .75 per load. 2. Mattress in main bedroom is very soft, that made back pain for us. My wife tried sofa bed in the hall and it was also not comfortable. 3. You have 1 toiled paper roll only for each bathroom and 1 roll of paper towel, bring yours or buy in store. 4. There are no enough towels for the whole stay, you need to wash them or bring yours. Overall I'm very satisfied.

Perfect little condo

Perfect little condo for our family and one pup. Side balcony overlooking beach was where I spent most of my time reading books and listening to the waves. The beach itself is beautiful and easy to get to from the room. Pool area was nice but we didn’t use it. She had a collection of beach items in the closet, which came in handy when our pop up tent collapsed on us! The area has a great place to walk your dog very close to the condo. The store in the parking lot was a major plus. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Atkins

Host profile image
My husband and I have been coming here since our honeymoon in 1994. My folks owned two units, and we bought this condo from them in December 2015. This is "home away from home", and it's treated like that!

Why they chose this property

Aqua Villa is smaller - just 24 condos total - and you don't need to walk through a lobby to get to the beach. Just walk right out the front door, down a small set of stairs and you're at the pool! (There is an elevator too for when you have luggage, etc). You'll love staying here.

What makes this property unique

Since Aqua Villa has just 24 units and an expansive shoreline in front of it, there is always room at the beach for everyone. (The larger condos with a lot of people often have crowded beaches in front of them.)
