About this property

Okaloosa Island Beach Getaway Nestled Between Destin Harbor & Downtown Ft Walton

Get ready for GOOD TIMES AND TAN LINES! Our relaxing 1 bedroom ISLAND OASIS is prefect for a couple or small family. Tropical Isle Condominiums, Unit 110 - Only steps away from the white powdery sands of Okaloosa Island Beach or the swimming pool (non-heated), this first floor, well decorated and furnished unit is designed for ease and comfort. The bedroom has a king size bed, smart tv, full dresser, bedside table and ocean facing window to enjoy the ocean sounds and air. The bathroom is in the bedroom and has a full bath/shower combo and vanity cabinets for storage. The fully equipped kitchen should meet most any needs with a variety of appliances to include a dish washer, full size stove, microwave, and refrigerator as well as cookware and bakeware, toaster, water kettle, George Forman grill and crockpot. For your morning cup, we have a Keurig Duo (bring your favorite K-cups or brew a whole pot with ground coffee). The long counter doubles as an eating and gathering space with 4 bar stools. The kitchen is open the living room where you can relax with an additional smart tv, sleeper sofa (Queen), two comfortable chairs, a small dining set with 2 chairs and a large window to let in some of the Florida sunshine. Take a break under the covered back patio with seating for two and listen to the ocean. Our unit has a front and back door for convenience but the keypad entrance is at the front door (roadside). Card operated laundry facility on site (bring your detergent, etc.). Located on beautiful Okaloosa Island, you can take advantage of sunrises and sunsets from the boardwalk or take a stroll across the street through the bayside neighborhoods and discover your favorite spots to watch the sunset. On the island, there is plenty to discover and enjoy including fishing or nature watching from the Okaloosa Island pier, many parks and public beach accesses, hidden bayside nooks, delicious brunch spots, shopping and restaurants, mini golf, ice cream and bike rentals. (* Some of these offerings are dependent on the season you visit.) Our favorite island eateries are Old Bay Steamer, Crab Trap, Stewby’s and Fubar (sports bar with outdoor bayside seating-sometimes the bar and outdoor seating area get lively and upbeat after dark but offers a peaceful waterfront lunch opportunity). If you want to venture off the island, you are only a couple minutes from either Destin or downtown Fort Walton Beach. Convenient to Publix and tons of eateries. On the Fort Walton side, our favorite thing to do is rent Bird scooters and ride around downtown Fort Walton where you can take visit multiple bayside parks, casual restaurants or fancier French, Italian or American local restaurants with sea or land options. We love Bay Cafe, Ali’s Bistro, Magnolia Grill, Sealand and Clemenza’s. If you go in the direction of Destin, the closest of our favorites are Maguire’s Irish Pub, Boshamps, Brotula’s, Louisiana Lagniappe, Dewey Destin’s (we prefer the bayside location over harbor side for the super casual, outdoor, waterfront atmosphere- and watching the heron roost).

Perfect vacation

We had an amazing stay here. It's close to the beach and not far from the Publix grocery store or there's a little convenience store next door. Communication with the host was excellent and she was so helpful. Plenty of towels and a little porch to sit and relax. Definitely recommend for small families.

Property was just what we wanted. Close proximity to beach. Clean comfortable and nice living and sleeping area. Only critique is A/C was loud and bathtub accessories, spigot and knobs, needed some attention but both worked fine.

Perfect for quick getaway

I was in town for a volleyball tournament, so I was only really looking for a place to shower and sleep as I'd be away most of the time. It's PERFECT for 2-3 people. Bed was VERY comfortable,,, owner provided TONS of towels and the entire unit was very clean. Highly recommend!

Nice time at Tropical Isle unit 110

The condo was simple and clean. A short walk to the beach and convenient location. We had a fun time on Okaloosa Island and there was plenty to do. The building is older but the condo itself was updated and accommodating. It is a good price for a simple, relaxing stay. I will definitely stay there again.

Fantastic Getaway Spot

We could not have been more thrilled to stay at this condo on the Island. We had beach access right out the back door. Everything including the kitchen is stocked for anything you might possibly want or need. It was extremely clean and comfortable. Also can't beat the convenience of having a Tom Thumb literally across the street for snacks and drinks. The host is extremely friendly and communicative. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Great Stay

Super clean, beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. The condo was just steps away from the beach access and a Tom Thumb Convent Store. I loved the ease of parking and being on the ground floor and a pool. You could not ask for a better place to stay. I will be booking again next year. I rate this stay a 10 out of 10.

About the host

Hosted by Tracy Baldwin

Host profile image
This is our family condo and a mother/daughter business. Renting our condo out with my three girls helps to afford us the ability to have a beach place within our means but also to offer the same to others. It has also helped teach my daughters responsibility and the value of hard work. My oldest adult daughters take turns helping me manage the condo and have both invested sweat and tears into giving it our touch. We love this place and have worked so hard to create a beautiful place at a reasonable price. We have spent countless nights putting in work each year to avoid incurring extra costs, all in order to keep prices down. We hope you can feel the love we have put into creating our happy place.

Why they chose this property

Okaloosa Island is a perfect destination for those yearning to spend time near the sea in a family friendly atmosphere.
The island is like a secret jewel with the convenience of Destin (as, and if you please) without the long waits and over crowded establishments- a true gem!

What makes this property unique

This property is small but offers a great opportunity for small families to enjoy all of the activities the area has to offer at an affordable price. The condo comfortably accommodates 4 people. Whether you want to just enjoy the beach or visit the Gulfarium, the Air Force Armament Museum, pier fishing, and let's not forget all of the great shopping the area has to offer, it's all available from this convenient location on Okaloosa Island.
