We loved staying here. It is quiet and clean, and any little problem we had, the landlord took care of it right away. We may be back in the fall, and this is the first place I will look to book my stay. Overall, for the last 6 months in Fort Walton Beach, this has been our favorite stay!

Very nice house, clean and taken care of well. Very friendly and expedient host. Digital keycode made check-in and house usage a breeze. Very accessible to the beach and restaurants by car. The only downside (if there is one) was the mosquitos (be warned!).

Thank you for your wonderful review! I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the house, found it clean and well-maintained, and appreciated the easy check-in process with the digital key code. It's also great to know that the location made it convenient for you to access the beach and nearby restaurants. I appreciate you mentioning the mosquitoes as well. During your stay we unfortunantly experienced a solid week of rain. This and living near the coast does come with some seasonal mosquito activity, and we always recommend guests bring insect repellent when spending time outdoors, especially during warmer months. Thank you again for staying with us. We'd love to host you again on your next visit!

Comfortable and clean

Beautifully refreshed cottage. Close to a nice park and amenities. Quiet and private fenced enclosed backyard. The house is beautifully decorated and well furnished. The only downside is that the other houses on the street appear to be evacant and many in ill repair with multiple cars parked on the properties.

Slice of paradise

Everything was purely amazing! The host provided me and my fiancée anything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The location was perfect. Youre literally 10 mins or less from everywhere you want to go. There's turtles that come from the park that is only a block away guarding the house. So you know you will be safe staying there! All i have to say everything was perfect and i cant wait to come back!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that everything had been thoughtfully prepared and exactly as described in the listing—if anything, it exceeded our expectations. The house was immaculately clean, tastefully decorated, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable and stress-free getaway. Tucked away in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood, it offered the perfect setting to unwind and truly relax, yet it was also incredibly convenient—just a short and easy drive to all the attractions, restaurants, and beaches we wanted to explore. The location struck the perfect balance between tranquility and accessibility. The host was phenomenal—extremely responsive, warm, and genuinely accommodating throughout our entire stay. They made the check-in process seamless and went out of their way to ensure we felt welcome and supported. It’s rare to find a rental that feels both like a retreat and a home away from home, but this one absolutely did. We would return in a heartbeat and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for the perfect blend of comfort, location, and exceptional hospitality.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Randy, I am the owner of the "Classic Florida Cottage and your host. I've called NW Florida my home for about 35 years now. I have grown up is the area and I truly love living here.

Why they chose this property

Elliot Point is an area of Ft Walton that is located to just about everything. You're right across the bridge to the beaches. You're walking distance to Ferry Park, which includes Frisbee Golf, tennis courts and a walking path. The Downtown area is a short drive away, which includes shopping and restaurants. And Uptown station is also close by for even more shopping.

What makes this property unique

I bought the home a couple of years ago and decided to restore it to it's 1965 cottage style, with all the modern upgrades. It's been a lot of fun bringing it back to it's glory. The property has some wonderful shade trees is what I think makes it unique.
