WHERE THE GULF MEETS YOUR LIVING ROOM!

Rare 3BR/3BA Beachfront Condo • Two Master Suites • Sleeps 10
Summer Place Unit 203 • Okaloosa Island, Fort Walton Beach, FL

Rare 3BR/3BA Gulf-Front Gem | 2 Master Suites | Sleeps 10 | Steps to Beach & Pool | Free Beach Service

Wake up to the Gulf of Mexico. From the moment you step onto the balcony of Summer Place 203, you'll understand why guests come back year after year — and why the emerald water along this stretch of Okaloosa Island is something you really have to see to believe.
This spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bath condo is one of the few units in the building with three full bathrooms — a detail that makes a real difference when you're traveling with multiple couples or a multi-generational family. No waiting. No sharing. Everyone has their own space.
The unit sleeps up to 10 guests across two king master suites, a third bedroom with two full beds, and a queen sleeper sofa — all outfitted with new mattresses and quality linens. The master bath was recently remodeled and features a double-head walk-in shower. The kitchen is fully stocked for real cooking, and the living and dining areas are open, comfortable, and Gulf-facing.
Dolphins swim past regularly. We're not exaggerating — guests mention it in almost every review. Grab your coffee, step outside, and watch.
What's Included:
Two king master suites, each with their own private bath
Third bedroom with two full beds — perfect for kids or a third couple
Queen sleeper sofa in the living room
Three full bathrooms (rare in this building!)
Brand new mattresses and quality linens throughout
Newly remodeled master bath with double-head walk-in shower
Fully stocked kitchen with granite countertops
Full-size washer and dryer in the unit 4 Smart TVs
Large Gulf-facing balcony with comfortable patio furniture
Access to Summer Place's lagoon-shaped pool and hot tub
Complimentary beach service included during season
Beachfront grill and picnic area
225+ feet of private Gulf frontage — no crossing busy roads

The Space:
Summer Place is a smaller, quieter Gulf-front complex — 53 units total, which means you'll never feel like you're navigating a resort convention. The pool area is calm. The beach is uncrowded. The vibe is relaxed. If you've stayed at the bigger resort complexes nearby and found them a little overwhelming, this is the antidote.
Being on the 2nd floor has its perks — you're close to the pool, close to the beach, and there's no long elevator wait when you're hauling in groceries or beach gear. The balcony view is wide open Gulf, and the building's layout means nothing is obstructing it.
Getting Around:
You're on Okaloosa Island — a barrier island in Fort Walton Beach that sits between Destin and Pensacola. The Boardwalk is a short walk away, with waterfront dining, entertainment, and a fishing pier. Downtown Fort Walton Beach is just minutes across the bridge. Destin's HarborWalk and shopping are about 20 minutes east. Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field are nearby for our military guests.
What Guests Say:
"The balcony view is absolutely stunning — we watched dolphins every single morning."
"Three bathrooms was a game changer for our group. Highly recommend."
"Jennifer is the most responsive host we've ever had. Always just a text away."
"The beds and linens are the best we've experienced in a vacation rental. We slept great."
"Quiet, clean, beautifully updated. We've already booked again for next summer."
Ideal For:
Three couples traveling together (two king masters + third bedroom = perfect setup)
Multi-generational families who need space and privacy
Families with kids (close to pool, close to beach, easy access)
Anyone who wants a quieter, more personal beach experience — not a crowded resort
Repeat Gulf Coast visitors looking for a step up from the big resort complexes.

The condo is really beautiful and updated gloriously! The master bath has the best shower I have ever used and all three bedrooms had really comfortable and quality beds. One of my favorite parts was the patio furniture. The bar height chairs were incredibly comfortable and it was so nice to be able to look over the railing instead of looking through the bars of the railing! Communication with Jennifer, one of the owners, was always friendly and just a text or call away. All in all, we were very happy with our stay and will definitely be returning!

Gorgeous view & comfy beds

This condo is such a perfect spot to stay at. The view is absolutely unbeatable, and we loved that there’s plenty of porch seating for a group. It’s important to me to have a comfy bed to sleep in when on vacation and these check the box. It’s easy access to crab island and Destin and also the great shops and things in fort Walton. We loved our time here and hope to come back soon!

This condo was so cozy and well decorated. We were only able to stay for two nights, but enjoyed every minute that we were there. I had a few questions for the owner and she responded immediately, which was wonderful. Walking from the condo to the beach was a breeze and having two chairs and an umbrella available for us to use was a bonus.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Gladson

Host profile image
We didn't plan to fall in love with Okaloosa Island. We came to visit our son, stationed at Eglin Air Force Base, and a long weekend turned into something we didn't expect. We've lived in Casper, Wyoming our whole lives — beautiful, but the winters are long. That first trip to the Gulf, standing in front of that turquoise water, something shifted.
We started dreaming about owning a place here. In 2020, we made it real.
Unit 203 is our Florida home away from home — and we've worked hard to make it feel that way for everyone who stays here. Because we actually use this condo ourselves, every detail was intentional. New mattresses throughout. A fully remodeled master bath. A kitchen stocked for real cooking. Balcony furniture you'll actually want to sit in for hours.
One thing guests mention in almost every review: the dolphins. They swim past regularly — close enough to watch from the balcony with your morning coffee. It never gets old. The sunsets are as beautiful as Wyoming sunsets.
Summer Place is a smaller, quieter complex — 53 units, Gulf-front, with a lagoon pool, hot tub, beachfront grill, and over 200 feet of private beach. No resort chaos. Just calm, space, and a stretch of the Gulf that feels genuinely peaceful.
We hope it feels like home. We hope the Gulf is as good to you as it's been to us.
— Jennifer & Family | Casper, Wyoming

Why they chose this property

Okaloosa Island felt different from the moment we discovered it.
It's a barrier island — quieter and less commercialized than Destin just down the road, but with the same breathtaking emerald water and sugar-white sand. When we started looking for a place to buy, we knew we wanted to be here.
Then we found Summer Place, and it checked every box.
With only 54 units, it's one of the smaller Gulf-front buildings on the island — which means the beach behind the condo is never crowded. The pool area is calm. You're not navigating a resort with hundreds of strangers. It feels like a neighborhood, not a convention.
The building itself is well-designed — wide hallways, wide doorways, two elevators, and spacious units that feel open and comfortable the moment you walk in. It's easily accessible for guests with mobility needs, and it simply feels more relaxed and less cramped than the larger complexes nearby.
What we love most is the location. You can walk to waterfront restaurants, boutique shops, the Gulf Aquarium, putt-putt golf, beach volleyball, and even a grocery store. Everything you need is within reach — but when you're on that beach or that balcony, you'd never know it. It feels tucked away in the best possible sense.
Small enough to feel personal. Close enough to everything. Right on the Gulf.
That's why we chose Summer Place — and why we think you'll love it too.

What makes this property unique

A few things set Unit 203 apart — some you'll notice the moment you walk in, and some you'll appreciate more as the week goes on.
Start with the layout. Most condos in this building have two bathrooms. Ours has three — one for each bedroom. If you're traveling with multiple couples or a multigenerational family, that detail matters more than almost anything else. Add two king master suites, brand new mattresses throughout, a fully remodeled master bath with a large double-head walk-in shower, and a fully stocked kitchen with granite countertops, and the unit simply feels a step above.
Then there's the building. Summer Place has only 54 units — which means the beach behind the condo is never crowded, the pool area stays calm, and the whole experience feels more like a quiet retreat than a resort. Wide hallways, wide doorways, and two elevators make it genuinely accessible and comfortable for everyone. Complimentary beach service is included during season — chairs and umbrella set up and waiting for you each morning.
The location is walkable in a way most Gulf-front properties aren't — restaurants, the Gulf Aquarium, putt-putt golf, beach volleyball, and a grocery store are all within easy reach on foot.
And the dolphins are real. Guests mention them in nearly every review — swimming past the balcony close enough to watch with your morning coffee. It just keeps happening.
We also have a soft spot for military families. Eglin Air Force Base, Hurlburt Field, and Tyndall AFB are all nearby — this island is actually how we found this place ourselves, visiting our son at Eglin. If you're coming to see someone stationed here, we hope Unit 203 makes the trip feel extra special.
Finally — we're not a management company. We own this unit, we stay here ourselves, and we're always just a message away.
