6/30-7/3 OPEN! LUX w/Beach/7Pools/3HotTubs/LZRiver

TonyaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Kurt and Tara’s place was exactly as described. It is absolutely beautiful, has a view of the ocean and a nice size balcony. The dishwasher is the quietest one I have ever seen, and we made great use of the Keurig coffee pot! There were even some pods left there. My favorite detail about the condo was the huge shower!! It’s a studio, but the living room area is separated from the bed, so it really feels like the bed is in its own room. You will not regret staying here. The hosts were extremely responsive and timely to all of our questions. There was only one slight drawback, the unit is on the end and close to the busy road, but we wore our earbuds and it wasn’t a problem at all. We would 100% stay there again!

Ground Floor Unit-ON THE BEACH!

JanaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Jill‘s place was perfectly located right on the beach. She has provided two lovely beach chairs, an umbrella, and some kids toys. This is a beautiful and clean apartment/condo. The bed was comfortable and the provided roll out mattress was exactly what we needed for our 7 year old. A bonus; it was located close to Stewby’s seafood shanty, which has great fresh food! We would stay here again!

"Gulfview Getaway" Beach front condo on the Gulf

KendraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved staying at Nikki’s condo. The Veranda is a quiet condo complex, which we love. Nikki had everything that I had brought because I figured an air bnb wouldn’t have it, like dishwasher tabs, paper towel, garbage bags, coffee pods…etc. The room was clean and super accessible to the pool and beach. She even had extra beach chairs and towels. We will be back again for sure!

Waterfront Getaway w/ Pool Access – Bluefish #4

JohneeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Perfect condo for two adults or a small family. Very clean and everything is new. The neighborhood felt safe and it’s located close to the beach. I loved drinking my coffee on the couch while watching the boats pass by in the morning. Would definitely revisit!

Your guide to Okaloosa Island

Introduction

If you’re visiting Okaloosa Island, don’t forget to pack a swimsuit. The three-mile-long barrier island, just south of Fort Walton Beach, is between the Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico on Florida’s Emerald Coast. You practically live at the beach here, spending days pedaling around on a cruiser, stretching out on powder-soft white sands, and sitting down to a seafood dinner fresh from the turquoise gulf waters. But while the beaches here are beautiful — much of the island is protected land — there’s plenty to do besides relax. Kayak or paddleboard on the bay or boat over to Crab Island, a sandbar with a festive atmosphere. Shop and dine on the boardwalk, or visit the area’s theme parks, water parks, and museums. Then cap off the day by enjoying a brilliant sunset on the beach.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Okaloosa Island

It’s almost always beach weather on Okaloosa Island. Summer is hot, humid, and the most popular time to book one of the condos here, with daytime temperatures around 90 degrees Fahrenheit and nights only slightly cooler. But repeat visitors tend to agree that spring and fall are the best times to visit, when the crowds are thinner and temperatures are in the mid-70s and upper 80s — you may even want to pack a light jacket for evenings. Expect an isolated thunderstorm or two, especially during hurricane season, which starts in June and lasts through late October or November. Winter is sunny but cooler, with temperatures in the mid-60s. However, it doesn’t last long, and the 70-degree days usually return in the middle of March.


Top things to do in Okaloosa Island

Okaloosa Island Pier

Anglers come to the Okaloosa Island Pier, which juts 1,262 feet into the Gulf of Mexico, to sight-cast in the clear waters. There’s gear rental here, and, for a small license fee, you can fish for Spanish mackerel, whiting, tuna, and bluefish. The pier also draws birders and is a lovely place for a stroll or to watch the summer fireworks displays.

The Boardwalk on Okaloosa Island

The oceanfront boardwalk features beach access, picnic pavilions, shops selling beach apparel and water toys, ice cream and candy stores, and several large, open-air seafood shacks and burger bars.

Gulf Island National Seashore

A national treasure, the Gulf Island National Seashore stretches 160 miles from Cat Island, MS, to Okaloosa Island and is split into 12 areas. The final section, just west of the Okaloosa Island hub, is a beautiful small beach on the Choctawhatchee Bay with calm waters that are great for swimming and water sports.
