Being on the lower ground level made it easy to get to the big pool and beach. The smokers were annoying but not frequent.

My family took a trip to Fort Walton for my son‘s Little League World Series. We wanted a place on the ground level (since we have five kids) with lots of pool options for the children, but also located directly on the beach. This resort and unit was perfect! They have a snack hut at the pool that serves food and drinks all day. Two beach chairs are included with the stay. The owner is very responsive and accommodated us with several requests. I would 100% recommend this unit/owner to every person I know!!! Thank you for being such a pleasure to deal with!

Our family of 7 (2 adults, 5 children) stayed here and our trip was great. Incredibly easy access to the pools and beach being a first floor condo, with plenty of room for us and all of the kids. The kitchen came in handy as well as we cooked dinner a few nights and had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this resort and property and will be back again!

This location was absolutely perfect! Easy access to pool areas, grilling, and convenient walk to beach. Allowed pretty decent access for handicapped parent to most parts of the resort. First level parking was blocked off, but we were able to pick up and drop off in that area to still provide ramp access.

This property is in a great location right by the gate to get into one of the huge pools. The quick responses I received from the owner with questions I had was the best! We have stayed at Waterscape every year since they opened and this is by far our favorite unit.

We loved being so close to the pool! The condo was clean, and had plenty of bath towels. It was easy to communicate with the Host. We will come again.

Loved this condo! Quick location to the pools/beach/parking garage.
Public walkway is in your front yard if you like privacy may not be for you. Was great for my older parents to just sit and people watch.
Property manager was great to work with - excellent communication skills.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars on property description was the fact that it only had a twin bunk not a twin bunk and 2 twin beds. The word AND made me think there was another bed.
Really no big deal and would definitely book this condo again.

The condo was so clean and beautiful! This was our first time staying on the ground floor at the beach and while we didn't have a direct ocean front view, the easy and quick access to the beach and pools was amazing with kids! And the patio area was actually quite nice for my littles ones to play on vs a balcony. There was even a ladder ball / corn hole game in the closet we were able to set up in the grass area in front of the patio to play! The resort itself was also beautiful and very well maintained.

We thoroughly enjoyed our return stay at Waterscape. We intentionally chose a first floor unit because we had my two grandsons who are three and almost one. We wanted to have easy access to the unit from the pool area. My only complaint about the location of the unit is the building entrance right next to the patio and the smoking area in front of the patio. We had random people standing on our patio smoking, watching their family at the pool, and waiting for the rain to pass. We even had one couple making iut under our patio after dark... None of this was the fault of the owners, but it was frustrating.
We spent most days at the pool when the weather allowed. Unfortunately, there were pretty strong storms and the rip currents were dangerous the entire week, which is always a possibility at the beach. However, a rainy day at the beach beats a sunny day at work!

We had a great time! Condo was close to parking garage, so it was easy to load and unload. There’s a pool gate right outside the patio doors, so easy access to pool and beach. Owners were easy to contact and work with. We would definitely stay again!

The condo was just as advertised. More spacious than typical beach condo and nicely furnished. The little bunk room was perfect for the 3 yr old as the bottom bunk bed is pretty low. And the sound proofing of the condos is amazing- we rented 4 condos for our whole family and we all commented on how quiet they were- couldn’t hear any noise from the pool or hot tub. It was chilly during our stay but the kids loved the heated upper pool and hot tub. They even got in the other pools and then right back in hot tub. The beach here is spectacular- beautiful white sugar sand. This is a place we will come back to.

This was our 3rd time at Waterscape, but first in this specific condo. We loved the location right beside the pool and lily pad entrance. The bunk room door was appreciated as well. That isn’t something we’ve found in other condos. Will definitely stay again!

Great Family Vacation
I love reviews and base how I plan trips based off them, so hopefully this will help someone. The owner, Julie was great to work with. I messaged her a couple times and she responded within the next day. When we arrived to the resort we did get turned around in the parking garage a little to find the room. Follow the signs in the parking garage, they help. When we did the code to the door, it worked right away and had no problem getting in. I walked the rooms and everything was in order. Everything was clean. The one bedroom wall does share the stairwell wall for the rest of the resort. So if anyone is coming in and out you can hear the people in the stairwell and the door opening and closing. During the day was no issue, and at night, I just turned on the box fan and that helped drown out the noise. It wasn't so bad that I couldn't sleep at night. The stairwell door does open up next to the porch so that was a little awkward at first. We really enjoyed that fact we were right by the pool entrance. We had a 5 and a 11 year old with us. It was great if they needed to go to the bathroom, we could go right back to our room. We didn't have to wait for an elevator or use the public pool bathroom. We did wait in line around 7:30am to get a pool chair, which you have to do. It was crazy how many people waited in line, and they wouldn't let you get the chair until 8am. It was really crowded, but we never felt we were being pushed out of the area we were in, in the pool. The sliding door to the condo really kept the noise out. That was nice. The bushes by the porch had garbage in them. The resort had something every day that was great for the kids. Bring cash, most things cost money that the resort put on. The fireworks that are shot off from the pier are only about 4 minutes. We didn't think it was worth the wait we did on the beach. On the upper deck had the kiddie splash pad, which was nice. The washer and dryer sound rough when they are running, but they worked. It just surprised us at first with the noise. We appreciated there was a vacuum to use because as much as we tried to keep sand out of the condo, we kept bringing it in. When we went to the beach the first day, we were told that we only got one umbrella and two chairs even though in the description for the condo it said 4 chairs and two umbrellas. So that was a disappointment. The ocean did have a lot of seaweed, but the waves were great. We would book this condo again.

Best Location!!
1st floor. Steps from the parking garage. Doesn’t get closer to poolside! It was so nice to simply walk out one of the sliding glass windows and go directly into the pool area. The unit was extremely clean upon arrival. It was the perfect space for our family of 7! Communication with property manager was instantaneous. Highly recommend this unit!

Room A112
We really enjoyed our stay in A112! The room was very clean and up to date! It is located right outside of the pool area so it’s very convenient! The owner was very nice and timely with her response time! We will definitely stay here again.

Second year at Waterscape
This was our second year in a row that we stayed at Waterscape condos. The location is fantastic and our condo was in a perfect location for my family to enjoy both the pool and the beach. We will definitely be back next year.

Waterscape Resort Fort Walton Beach, Florida
This condo was very convenient to the pool. However it is next to the entrance to the complex so there is a fair amount of traffic. The condo was in average condition. It was missing basic items such as forks for eating. The main issue to be addressed is that the picture of the pool on the website is deceiving. It is much too small for this huge complex and was way overcrowded. It had a sign stating it’s load was 86 people. There were several hundred a people a day at the pool and the hot tub was also way too small for this complex. The beach was covered in seaweed. We have vacationed many years on the panhandle and I would rate this resort as a 5/10.

Will be back!
This condo was perfect for our family. We had 6 adults and 1 baby. Did not feel cramped at all. Julie was great to deal with and answered our questions quickly and took care of an issue promptly to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The beach service was great and being right by the pool was wonderful. We will definitely stay here again!

Great condo by the pool & beach
Spacious condo with all the essentials. Great location with patio right outside of pool entrance. We enjoyed the gas grills located around the pool and the tiki hut. The beach is lovely and we were delighted to have chair and umbrella service. Our host was great! She was always responsive to our requests and we extended our stay. This is a great location and I would definitely love to return here each year!
