Waterfront holiday rentals in Fort Walton Beach

This is a great family place to go peaceful and fun not crazy with teenagers close to action if you want to find it

This place is not even described accurately through the photos. This is the best Airbnb we’ve ever been to! The ocean is totally accessible as well as kayaks, paddle boards, etc. You can swim with large fish, dolphins, sting rays, etc. The mini-home is right off of the yard and you are able to do anything you want from there. It’s clean and precise with all of the labels showing you how to work everything. All in all, an amazing visit! 100% recommend

We had a great time and were shocked at how many amenities were offered at this Airbnb including shampoo, body wash, conditioner, dish and clothes detergent, hand soaps. They had a whole beach closet with chairs, an umbrella, toys, and wagon. The kitchen was updated and was so beautifully organized and well appointed. Our family had the best beach vacation!

Nice condo, a bit dated but worth the price. Beds not overall comfortable but did the job. Needed more furniture in our opinion, one three seat coach and bamboo chair in living room. Still a wonderful stay at a good price. Just was excellent!

Overall, our stay was great. The majority of the property was booked all weekend. Little different staying in a location with multiple renters, much like a bed and brekkie. I enjoyed our space - we weren’t around much but you can hear very clearly your neighbors since it’s only a door that separates you. Quiet time is 10 and everyone followed that which was good. We enjoyed the dock the most. I sat for hours and watched dolphins play right in front of me. The dock needs some work with the sun getting to it but pretty typical in Florida. The grounds were kept clean and nice. Crystal was our co-host and she was amazing. Responsive and communicative - we were even able to check in a liter early. Bed on our side of the manor is pretty soft, so it was the couch for me as it’s more firm. I’d stay again but maybe in the guesthouse where it’s more quiet as that’s my preference. Parking can be tricky so be prepared. Three boat trailers while we stayed but I had my own space. Enjoyed it!

We loved our stay at this beautiful condo! Sandra was friendly and very quick to respond when we had questions. However, we barely had any to ask because her instructions and recommendations were extremely clear and detailed. We ran into no issues during our time there. We did not use the kayaks but were impressed with the option to use them. There was so much to do within 20 minutes each way. We would definitely stay here again!

Stayed in this paradise and was clean, nice views, and an overall great experience! Would recommend staying here has multiple pools as well !! Also has beach access and would recommend the lazy river ! The room has a mini outdoor patio with a stunning view.

A very nice, quiet, and comfortable apartment in a lovely setting on the Santa Rosa Bay. Very lovely, large clean pool with great landscaping. The bed and pillows were excellent. Both Joshua and Elizabeth were outstanding in responding to questions and needs immediately.

This place was absolutely perfect and looked exactly like the pictures! It was clean, private, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. One of the highlights was the kayaks – the kids had a blast paddling around, and the provided life jackets and cooler were thoughtful touches that made our stay even more enjoyable. The sleeping accommodations were very comfortable, and we all rested well after long days of fun on the water. Being right on the harbor was such a cool experience, especially when we spotted dolphins swimming nearby – truly unforgettable! The atmosphere was peaceful, and we really appreciated the attention to detail in the home. It felt like a little hidden gem, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you so much for sharing your space with us. We’ll definitely be back and will absolutely be leaving a five-star review. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing escape!

This was our second time staying here. Both stays were everything we’d hoped for. So good for the kids, riding bikes around the neighborhood, from pool to pool, and even to the beach! Easy access to many shops and restaurants. If you couldn’t ride bikes there you can always use the golf cart. Anytime I needed to inform Stan of anything or ask questions he was responsive. Can’t wait to go back next year.

Very nice place, location, we felt like we were home. Enjoyed our stay and very reasonable price.

We have stayed here twice. We love the location, the house and accommodations. It’s very peaceful on the bay with a great pool. Kenny is a wonderful host and makes sure everything is to your satisfaction. We can’t wait to stay there again!

Nancy is a great host! 💫 The view was so nice especially to watch the very common occurrence of lighting! ⛈️ Just as an FYI, we didn't realize we'd be taking the toll road to Destin so keep that in mind ($4 each way). 🤑 The bed was new, but way too soft for my husband and I... Caused us to sink into each other and unfortunately, lead to uncomfortable/minimal sleep. 🫤 Lol we also didn't realize it's a sliding barn door to the bathroom so one of us would go outside to ensure privacy 🤫 We still really enjoyed our stay and leveraged MANY of our hosts recommendations from her guide book! 🤗

My family of five enjoyed our stay at Ryan’s place. The photos don’t do this place any justice. It is so clean, beautiful and comfortable. The view from the balconies is serene. We sat on the balcony at night and watched firework shows as well as listen to live music from a local restaurant. It’s located directly on the harbor walk and walking distance to most attractions. My children enjoyed the local beach as well as the shared pool. Ryan is definitely a Superhost! He was very responsive, friendly and provided recommendations. Ryan’s place will be our first choice when we visit Destin again!

Lisa, the office manager was very kind and helpful. We even had to change our dates at the last minute and it was no problem. The place is located very close to the walkway to the beach, which was so convenient. It was very clean and looked exactly as the pictures. We would definitely go back.

We had a fantastic time at Thomas & Yiniba’s condo. It was clean, comfortable and had amazing views. The resort staff were helpful and friendly. Although we never had a chance to try the onsite restaurant, it was nice to know it was there. The location has 4 fast elevators, which was great during busier times of the day. My family and I would definitely recommend staying here.

We had the BEST time while staying here! We had our 8, 6 and 4 year old and it was perfect for them! The beach toys and chairs were a great plus! Second year staying at the surf dweller and we will be back again next year! The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and we loved the open floor concept. The balcony was large with plenty of furniture for our family of 5! We will most definitely be back to Dawns place! 🤍

Location, location, location. This unit at the Palms was an excellent location. Waking up each morning to the sound of waves was awesome and the beautiful views from the balcony. Having a private beach area to relax and of course having the 2 chairs and umbrella set up each day was an additional great benefit. The apartment was clean and had a well-equipped kitchen with everything we needed for a comfortable stay to include washer and dryer. The host was extremely friendly and very responsive, and we were able to coordinate arriving a few hours earlier. This is a great escape for anyone looking for a beachfront vacation.

Our stay was just what we needed! The view from the balcony and easy access to the beach was amazing. It was extremely clean and well kept. I would definitely recommend this place.

Morgan was an excellent host! Very accommodating and so kind. This is our second time staying at this condo as a family and it’s very toddler friendly with a great view of the beach! We will be back!

I enjoyed my stay! I love the detail of the decor and even got some ideas for my home renovations. Thank you for the courtesy wine and snacks. This added such a welcoming touch. Until next time!

Sam is a super host; highly responsive and attentive to all messages. He’s ensured all of the amenities are spot on for a relaxing vacation. From chair and umbrella service by the waters’s edge to beach towels, toys and sunscreen, it’s easy to enjoy spending time at the beach. The condo is nicely decorated with a well appointed kitchen and comfortable beds! Will book this unit again on our next visit to Ft Walton Beach!

Nicole & James's place was a great place to stay! It had plenty of room for us as a family of 5, very clean and stocked. Easy beach access, only a few steps to be in the sand with beautiful views! We didn't have to pack a huge cooler with food or drinks with being so close. We were able to go back to the condo to fix lunch & snacks. The 2 chairs & 1 umbrella that was set up every day for us was very handy. We only had to take our kids chairs out to our chosen spot. Loved having a personal waterhose to wash off after a day at the beach. It helped keep the condo clean of sand throughout our stay. Nicole & James sent some great recommendations of places to eat that we absolutely loved! I would highly recommend staying at Nicole & James's Place. We'll definitely be back to stay again!

Don’t look anywhere else… book this place! Suzy is very kind and responsive to any questions we had. The condo is right on the beach, literally right by the boardwalk. We loved staying here with our young kiddos. Will definitely we back! Oh and very close to Stewby’s, our favorite restaurant for fresh seafood!
