Dockside Daydream by the Bay Short Walk to Gulf

BRAND NEW LISTING - Rare ground-floor waterfront condo with sunrise views, a dock, and breezy boho vibes. One of just two walk-out waterfronts in a quiet 12-unit Okaloosa Island complex. Sit out back and watch boats cruise the Intracoastal Waterway. Fully stocked 2BR retreat with Smart TVs, coastal décor, and just a 6-minute walk to the sugar-white sands of the Gulf via Beach Access 1. Dock fishing, boat slip, and peaceful island vibes await.

Welcome to your coastal hideaway at 333 Bluefish Drive - a rare ground-floor waterfront condo tucked into a peaceful 12-unit complex on Okaloosa Island. This laid-back boho retreat is one of only two walk-out waterfront units, with front-row views of the Santa Rosa Sound, a calm, boat-filled stretch of water between the Landing and the Brooks Bridge.

While you can’t walk to the Landing directly without crossing over the Brooks Bridge, you can walk to the beach - and that’s the real magic. This condo is perfectly situated between Beach Access 1 and 2, so your toes can be in the sugar-white sands of the Gulf of Mexico in a few minutes.

Inside, the vibe is cozy, breezy, and effortlessly beachy. The living room features a comfy couch, 55” Smart TV, and a chill boho vibe throughout. The kitchen is fully stocked with stainless appliances, granite countertops, and located at it's own accessible coffee bar where you have both drip and K-cup coffee makers. A small table for two is perfect for breakfast indoors, while a table for four on the patio lets you dine with a waterfront breeze.

Both bedrooms feature queen beds, Smart TVs, and relaxed coastal touches. The bathroom has a fresh vanity, new paint, and a tub/shower combo. Towels, shampoo, conditioner, and a hair dryer are all provided.

Washer and dryer? There’s no in-unit set, but a coin-operated laundry room is right next to your assigned parking spot.

The back patio offers basic iron furniture for now, with plans for a Polywood upgrade. Just steps beyond is your shared dock - a perfect spot for fishing, sunrise coffee, or evening stargazing. If you’re boating, a slip is available for vessels up to 25 feet (message us for details).

And don’t miss the magic of the Great Loop - a legendary waterway route that attracts boaters from all over the country. This condo’s waterfront perch sits on one of the most scenic and calm stretches, offering a front-row seat to daily boat traffic, wildlife, and slow coastal living.
