Welcome to Unit 302 at The Veranda. A beautifully renovated beachfront condo on serene Okaloosa Island, just five miles west of the Destin Pass Bridge. This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom Gulf-front retreat is steps away from the soft white sand, offering stunning views for your perfect Emerald Coast getaway.

Our beachfront vacation condo will comfortably sleep up to five people, making it an incredible choice for a group vacation with friends and family. Wake up each day to the sound of waves gently falling against the shore, and let the sound lure you downstairs.

Amazing!!!!

The stay was absolutely amazing. I have stayed at a lot of places but this was the most amazing. The views were phenomenal and the condo was super clean and very well equipped with everything you need. The contact with the owners was extraordinary and super fast. I can’t say enough about our stay here. We will definitely be staying at the Veranda every time we stay at Fort Walton. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Our second stay

We had a few problems With this stay. The first time we were here, everything was great. This time we found that things were not stocked as well. Nothing in the kitchen to help us store our leftovers. I have found other VRBO to be stocked better. We had issues with the HVAC. However, the owners responded quickly to my concerns

Paradise Getaway

Fabulous experience staying at this property! Outstanding location—walkable to Okaloosa Pier, the Boardwalk stores/restaurants, and stunning views. Beautiful grounds & gorgeous, well-appointed condo decorations—modern beach vibes. So grateful for the kitchen appliances (especially the blender) and UBER comfy bedding. Can’t beat the private pool, balcony, and easy beach access. Also—towels & beach toys + chair/umbrella service made it over the top luxurious & convenient. Camden was quick to reply to inquiries & kindly helped me connect with other property owners so my sister could book the neighbors’ place when we all return next summer. Amazing property & owners!!! Can’t wait to return!!

Home away from home!

This property is absolutely beautiful! The views cannot be beat! The condo was stocked with all we needed and the place is very clean! We were usually the only ones at the pool! It was wide open every day. As well the beach service is so convenient! The owners are so easy to talk to and did check on us our first couple of days into vacation just to make sure we didn't need anything! The calmness of this place is so peaceful! Nothing was over crowded! I highly recommend booking this property, you will love it! Thanks for everything!

Perfect location!

We have never been to Okaloosa Island before this trip and we will definitely be back! The condo it self was just as described in the listing. We had everything we needed to make meals while we were there. Having the beach chairs was a huge plus for us, one less thing to have to worry about or hassle with bringing your own. My girls loved having the loft area to themselves with their own bathroom! The pool was very nice and we loved that it was never crowded. Overall the unit itself was wonderful as was the condo building. It was nice not fighting or waiting for an elevator or even chairs by the pool. Location to restaurants was good. We didn’t have to drive far. We had a couple questions about checking in and Camden got right back with us, quickly! We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to our friends and family!!

Quiet and Relaxing

This was our first time staying at Destin but have stayed in other condos on the coast. This was by far our favorite place. The condo was super clean and very up to date. One of my Wife's favorite things she liked about it. 😀 The balcony view was out of this world. The beach was very private and such a close walk from the room.. The keyless entry was also amazing. Thanks for amazing stay. God Bless! We will definitely be back. The newland's Ohio..

Beachfront condo

This place is a perfect location, small modest condo nestled amongst some bigger ones. Beach is beautiful and close, limited use as it is a small unit, pool nice although we did not use it. Bedroom up front with queen would work if you have younger kids that go to bed early but you want to stay up and sit on the veranda or watch TV. My kids stayed in the loft but they are of the age where they stay up later than me. This is a modest condo, not a luxury unit if that is what you are lokking for. Photos actually capture how beautiful the view is.

About the host

Hosted by Tabatha & Camden Hottes

Host profile image
This is our second home, not simply an investment property. We live in Nashville, but hope to one day spend more and more time on Okaloosa Island! Until then.. we hope you love our little getaway on the beach as much as we do. We became owners in August 2018. We rent and manage our little beachfront condo by ourselves. We do not own multiple properties, and do not use a property management company. We work very hard to maintain Premier Host status, and strive to provide each guest the best experience by making our home comfortable and functional.

Why they chose this property

We love Okaloosa Island because of it's beautiful, soft, white sand and beautiful emerald green waters. There are days that you cannot tell the difference between our beachfront and the Caribbean! Our beaches on Okaloosa island do not get overcrowded due to the restrictions our county puts on the size and height of commercial properties. Our condo building "The Veranda" only has 9 units, so our beachfront, parking, pool, and elevators are never overcrowded like the big hotels and resorts.

What makes this property unique

All the comforts of home, but with a beautiful oceanfront view of the gulf! Our 3rd floor view from the balcony offers the best view of the beach/ocean and sunsets! Fort Walton Beach does not have the crowds of Destin and Panama City, but is only 5 miles from the Destin bridge. So... our guests can enjoy the best of both worlds.
