Beach Bungalow

FionnualaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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!

Haven by the SEA !!! What a spectacular view

WhitneyRating, 5 stars1 day ago
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!

Grayt Dayz Ahead Vacation House

SommerRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

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.
