Beach Bungalow
Libby’s house was the perfect spot for our visit to Navarre. Close to the beach, restaurants & easy drive to Pensacola. The house was lovely! Libby’s instructions were clear & any questions we had ( which were very few) Libby responded quickly. If you plan on visiting Navarre Beach definitely consider Libby’s Airbnb. It was great!

Beautifully decorated condo JUST STEPS TO BEACH!!

Gone To The Beach - Fabulous Beach House on 30A
We love staying here. This is our 4th year staying at Gone to the Beach and it never disappoints.

S.K.I. Beach House (Spending our Kids Inheritance)
Linda and Buds guesthouse was beautiful! They were very responsive to all our questions we had. The home itself was very clean and welcoming. They had clean linens and fully stocked with everything you need kitchen/bath. It is close to anything and everything you want to do in the gulf! I would definitely stay here again!

Haven by the SEA !!! What a spectacular view
Darlene was absolutely amazing. The place was perfect with a lot of kitchen utensils for cooking. The private balcony off of the master had a spectacular view of the beach to enjoy your coffee or wine. Personally favorite was the swing on the front porch where we sat and enjoyed coffee every morning. Walking distance to The Crab Trap and Pompano Joes, both personal favorites. Close to Destin outlets and the Destin commons for shopping. Couldn’t ask for a better location. Can’t wait to go back!

2nd floor beachfront with amazing views
Great condo! It was perfect for us for the week. We enjoyed bringing in the New Year on the balcony which has amazing views of the gulf. Right on the beach. Very easy access. Can’t wait to come back!

🦩Beach Please 🏖 Waterfront 🌴Private Beach 🏝

Boardwalk Breeze - 2 bedroom
This place surpassed my expectations! The hosts were absolutely amazing and the home was everything that I could have hoped for and more. Viewing the sunrise/sunset from the balcony was such a beautiful experience! Also, the walk to local eateries and the access to the beach was perfect. I highly recommend for anyone looking for the perfect place to stay on vacation!

Grayt Dayz Ahead Vacation House
We loved our stay, just as advertised! We really enjoyed using the tram to the beach. We packed up the rolling cart from the shared closet with beach chairs, an umbrella, shovels and buckets, and walked a few blocks to the tram pick up and got no sand in our car, which was a plus for us! Tram came around every 3-5 minutes. Location was awesome, good lunch or dinner spot at the beach access. Bathroom, water, snacks all easily accessible. Great house and location, and friendly and accessible owner. Thanks!

Views! Steps to the beach. Great pool and hot tub
If proximity to the beach is what you are looking for, this place should be on your list!

Your guide to Fort Walton Beach
Introduction
This Emerald Coast beach vacation comes with a large scoop of fine white sand, a splash of the clear green Gulf, and a sprinkling of military installations. There are a couple of Air Force bases right on the beach, and the neon-lit “Miracle Strip” (as the highway through Fort Walton Beach is sometimes called) tends to cater to that population. While this isn’t exactly a tourist town, its strip malls, beachfront condos, and waterfront fish shacks have an unpretentious vibe that suits a low-key traveler. Families will appreciate the parks and museums, and outdoor enthusiasts will adore nearby Okaloosa Island for its dreamy beaches, lively boardwalk, and abundant watersports.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Fort Walton Beach
Summers are popular with visitors, and they are also rainy, humid, and hot, with temperatures sometimes creeping into the 90s Fahrenheit. Spring and fall are still pretty warm, with temperatures hovering between the high 60s and low 80s, and not as rainy as the summer, but with fewer visitors. Meanwhile, winters are fairly short and not too cold, with temperatures ranging from the high 30s to the mid 60s. The best months to visit are April and May, when conditions are perfect and summertime crowds have yet to arrive. Regardless of when you’re traveling, be sure to pack your sunscreen, sunglasses, and sunhat. And don’t forget your raincoat in the summertime.
