Fort Walton Beach front Condo

Hello

1st trip to Fort Walton. Chose it because its quieter then Destin. I’m looking for a nice condo with beautiful pools beachfront. No car but I can walk a lot. 1 bedroom is fine with balcony overlooking the ocean. Dates of stay 8/12 - 8/17 ( a little flexible. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!!

Fort Walton Beach is a quieter alternative to Destin, and there are several beachfront condos with beautiful pools and ocean views that would suit a 1-bedroom stay. Since you won’t have a car but are comfortable walking, it’s best to focus on properties along the main stretch of Okaloosa Island where shops and restaurants are accessible on foot.

Recommended condo options:

  • Majestic Beach Resort – Offers 1-bedroom condos with balconies overlooking the Gulf. The resort has multiple pools, including a large beachfront pool, and is within walking distance of restaurants and small shops.
  • Shoreline Towers – Beachfront condos with spacious 1-bedroom units and balconies. Features include a heated pool, direct beach access, and a quieter atmosphere than Destin.
  • Holiday Inn Resort Fort Walton Beach – Although technically a resort, they offer condo-style rooms with balcony views. Pool and beach access are excellent, and the property is walkable to nearby dining and shops.
  • Emerald Coast Inn & Condos – Smaller complex with direct beach access, 1-bedroom units with balconies, and a pool. Very walkable area and less crowded than some of the larger resorts.

Tips for booking and stay:

  • Book early for August, as summer is peak season along the Emerald Coast.
  • Request a unit on a higher floor for the best ocean views and quieter experience.
  • Check if the condo provides beach chairs or umbrellas, as not all units include these amenities.
  • Confirm proximity to restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance since you won’t have a car.

These options should provide a relaxing, beachfront experience with pool access, easy walkability, and the quieter atmosphere you’re seeking compared to Destin.
