About this property
WHERE THE GULF MEETS YOUR LIVING ROOM!
Rare 3BR/3BA Beachfront Condo • Two Master Suites • Sleeps 10 Summer Place Unit 203 • Okaloosa Island, Fort Walton Beach, FL
Rare 3BR/3BA Gulf-Front Gem | 2 Master Suites | Sleeps 10 | Steps to Beach & Pool | Free Beach Service
Wake up to the Gulf of Mexico. From the moment you step onto the balcony of Summer Place 203, you'll understand why guests come back year after year — and why the emerald water along this stretch of Okaloosa Island is something you really have to see to believe. This spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bath condo is one of the few units in the building with three full bathrooms — a detail that makes a real difference when you're traveling with multiple couples or a multi-generational family. No waiting. No sharing. Everyone has their own space. The unit sleeps up to 10 guests across two king master suites, a third bedroom with two full beds, and a queen sleeper sofa — all outfitted with new mattresses and quality linens. The master bath was recently remodeled and features a double-head walk-in shower. The kitchen is fully stocked for real cooking, and the living and dining areas are open, comfortable, and Gulf-facing. Dolphins swim past regularly. We're not exaggerating — guests mention it in almost every review. Grab your coffee, step outside, and watch. What's Included: Two king master suites, each with their own private bath Third bedroom with two full beds — perfect for kids or a third couple Queen sleeper sofa in the living room Three full bathrooms (rare in this building!) Brand new mattresses and quality linens throughout Newly remodeled master bath with double-head walk-in shower Fully stocked kitchen with granite countertops Full-size washer and dryer in the unit 4 Smart TVs Large Gulf-facing balcony with comfortable patio furniture Access to Summer Place's lagoon-shaped pool and hot tub Complimentary beach service included during season Beachfront grill and picnic area 225+ feet of private Gulf frontage — no crossing busy roads
The Space: Summer Place is a smaller, quieter Gulf-front complex — 53 units total, which means you'll never feel like you're navigating a resort convention. The pool area is calm. The beach is uncrowded. The vibe is relaxed. If you've stayed at the bigger resort complexes nearby and found them a little overwhelming, this is the antidote. Being on the 2nd floor has its perks — you're close to the pool, close to the beach, and there's no long elevator wait when you're hauling in groceries or beach gear. The balcony view is wide open Gulf, and the building's layout means nothing is obstructing it. Getting Around: You're on Okaloosa Island — a barrier island in Fort Walton Beach that sits between Destin and Pensacola. The Boardwalk is a short walk away, with waterfront dining, entertainment, and a fishing pier. Downtown Fort Walton Beach is just minutes across the bridge. Destin's HarborWalk and shopping are about 20 minutes east. Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field are nearby for our military guests. What Guests Say: "The balcony view is absolutely stunning — we watched dolphins every single morning." "Three bathrooms was a game changer for our group. Highly recommend." "Jennifer is the most responsive host we've ever had. Always just a text away." "The beds and linens are the best we've experienced in a vacation rental. We slept great." "Quiet, clean, beautifully updated. We've already booked again for next summer." Ideal For: Three couples traveling together (two king masters + third bedroom = perfect setup) Multi-generational families who need space and privacy Families with kids (close to pool, close to beach, easy access) Anyone who wants a quieter, more personal beach experience — not a crowded resort Repeat Gulf Coast visitors looking for a step up from the big resort complexes.

This is absolutely the nicest VRBO I have ever rented. It’s a very comfortable place for a small family - well equipped kitchen, soft towels, comfortable beds, everything you need for a great trip to the beach. The beach access is super convenient and the owners are very responsive if you have any questions.
This was our second time staying in this unit. It is so clean and very well stocked with everything you need. I had a quick question for the host and she responded immediately. I absolutely love this place!!Aside from the property, people should be aware that there is a “Beach Camp” scheduled annually around this time and HUNDREDS of preteens/teens are staying in the condos in Fort Walton. They have a busy schedule and are not in their rooms much, but can lead to a wait getting to the pool and beach when they are going in and out. Also, there were about 18 charter busses that line the streets when the students were being picked up and dropped off, making it a challenge to get out of the property trying to see around the busses.
We had an AMAZING week. The condo was beautiful and wonderfully stocked with adequate accessories. The view was gorgeous and walk to the beach short and easy. The owner was quick to answer questions and a delight to work with. We highly recommend this unit to anyone.
This is our second year staying at the summer place and it was nothing short of amazing! The condo was clean and very well stocked with everything that we might’ve needed! We all enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be returning to the summer place and this condo specifically if available! Thank you guys for sharing your beautiful condo with us!
This condo is such a perfect spot to stay at. The view is absolutely unbeatable, and we loved that there’s plenty of porch seating for a group. It’s important to me to have a comfy bed to sleep in when on vacation and these check the box. It’s easy access to crab island and Destin and also the great shops and things in fort Walton. We loved our time here and hope to come back soon!
YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED! This was the perfect condo for our Girls trip! Super clean, beautiful decor, all beds were super comfy! Loved the patio furniture! Well stocked kitchen. Communication with owner was awesome! We arrived 3 hours prior to check in and she was so kind to let us check in early. Thank you so much!! We will be returning!
The condo is really beautiful and updated gloriously! The master bath has the best shower I have ever used and all three bedrooms had really comfortable and quality beds. One of my favorite parts was the patio furniture. The bar height chairs were incredibly comfortable and it was so nice to be able to look over the railing instead of looking through the bars of the railing! Communication with Jennifer, one of the owners, was always friendly and just a text or call away. All in all, we were very happy with our stay and will definitely be returning!
The condo was beautiful and very clean. Very short walk to the beach and to local restaurants. The 3 bedroom/3 bath was perfect for our family. Great family vacation!
