Description of the Fort Walton Beach vacation condo rental

This upscale penthouse is conveniently located just 10 minutes from popular Destin HarborWalk Village, the area hub for water activities such as dolphin cruises, charter fishing trips, boating, snorkeling, scuba diving, parasailing, hang gliding, and more.

Okaloosa Island is the crown jewel of the Emerald Coast and its top rated beach. The cool, soft, stunningly white sand, gentle dunes, protected sea oats, and sparkling blue-green water have earned this area the rating as top family vacation area by Southern Living Magazine and U.S. A Today readers. Close by you can walk for miles on the island’s peaceful stretch of unspoiled beach. All you will see are sand dunes on one side and the beautiful Gulf on the other.

Because the penthouse is located on the west end of the building, this upscale beachfront vacation rental provides more interior space, greater privacy, more windows for more breathtaking views and increased interior light. Everything you need is provided for a satisfying, memorable family vacation, romantic getaway, or winter retreat.

Bask in awe-inspiring views of the Gulf of Mexico and breathe in the fresh sea air on beautiful Okaloosa Island from the PRIVATE GULFRONT BALCONY. You will delight in the sunsets, the changing colors of the sky, the moon reflecting on the water, and the soothing sounds of the ocean caressing the shore.

Sunbathe on the PATIO or lounge in the GAZEBO while watching the children play in the sparkling beach-side POOL (heated Nov.- Mar.). Sink into the master bath Jacuzzi tub and relax after a workout in the EXERCISE ROOM or a game of tennis or a busy day of shopping and sightseeing in Destin and Fort Walton Beach.

You may choose to enjoy cooking a gourmet meal in the large fully-equipped kitchen or to grill on the BBQ on the grounds in a picnic-style setting. If you don't feel like cooking, there are many good restaurants close by.

The beach is beautiful so you will enjoy a stroll over the PRIVATE DUNE WALKOVER to swim in the inviting Gulf waters, build sandcastles, or to begin a peaceful walk along the silky soft sand.

You will enjoy a relaxing and fun filled vacation when you stay in the penthouse and will return home refreshed to forever remember the natural beauty of this island water wonderland.

 Best Vacation Stay EVER!!!, September 3, 2009

By Julie Zills (Iron City, Tennessee)

This was the best vacation stay ever! My Husband with my 6 grandchildren, daughter and son-in-law had the most relaxing and fun filled vacation ever. My daughter was swimming with the dolphins right in front of our condo and several times during the 7 day vacation we saw dolphins directly in front of our balcony. The condo was exceptional clean, spacious and very well equipted. It was nicely located close to the local markets and restraurants. My grandson who is 5 years old fished from the pier to the left of the balcony and caught a dolphin on his hook and several mackeral. He now thinks he is the best fisherman ever! The pool was sparkling clean and we really enjoyed it at night. The toys, games and videos was a real plus for the children. We all enjoyed our stay and will be booking this Penthouse again! Thanks for a Super Vacation!

 

 Awesome Vacation Condo, June 6, 2009

By Suzie (Fairborn, OH)

We stayed in this condo for our Spring Break. 2 adults, a 20,17 & 16 yr old - we had plenty of room and plenty of privacy for each of us. Loved being on the very top floor, and in an end unit as well! Two sliding doors, 1 in the master bedroom, 1 off the living room, open onto a great balcony that looks right onto the beach/ocean - all you can see is beach and ocean for what seems like miles. Beautifully furnished and maintained - absolutely immaculate!Elevators always worked well and access to the pool(s) and beach is a snap. Ktichen has everything you need and having the washer/dryer in the unit means you can pack less! Private covered parking in a reserved spot ground floor- very nice. We would return in a heart-beat. Managers of the unit were very thorough with directions and all information we needed. They even stopped by to bring a new DVD player when 1 wasn't working properly. Great service!! :-)
