Couples and small families are sure to love this bayfront Fort Walton Beach studio, complete with a great location, shared pools, and a nearby dock and beach.
With Fort Walton Beach's downtown only two miles north, this home for four is great for exploring! There's even a private beach, marina, and several restaurants just a short walk away, and the beaches of Okaloosa Island are just a little farther by car.
The living room doubles as the sole bedroom of the studio, with a plush queen bed and Sofa Bed sleeping four guests total. Enjoy a relaxing shower in the nearby bath, admire the great views of the sound from your balcony, and relax on the room's comfy furnishings. From WiFi, cable TV, and a DVD player, you have plenty of entertainment options to keep you busy!
Whether you eat on the balcony or small table for two indoors, you'll love meals prepared in the kitchenette, equipped with all the basics for simple meals and appliances for reheating restaurant leftovers. There are also shared grills outside for alfresco dining!
When you're not swimming in the pool, watching boats at the marina, or relaxing at the small private beach on the sound, you have all of Fort Walton Beach to explore! Multiple nearby beaches, Okaloosa Island's boardwalk just four miles away, and nearby cities like Panama City Beach 55 miles eastward and Pensacola 40 miles west give you lots to see during your stay!
Get ready for an unforgettable getaway to the Gulf of Mexico and place your reservation today!
