Watch the sun set slowly into the sea when you relax on your bayview balcony at this Fort Walton Beach condo. Let the daily grind slip away as you float in the shared pool or hit the beaches on Okaloosa Island.
Set in the Pirate's Bay complex, you'll be on the bay overlooking Santa Rosa Island and will have a small sandy beach. With easy access to local attractions, beach activities, and the Okaloosa boardwalk, you won't have to go far for sun-filled fun.
Stepping into the spacious studio, you'll be greeted by bay views flooding in from the sliding glass doors that lead to your private deck. Kick back on a chair, or lounge on the queen bed while you flip through the cable channels or watch a DVD on the HDTV.
Make a quick cocktail and head out on the deck to take in your sweeping bay views. Snap a few pictures and then connect to the WiFi to post them and show off your vacation. The shared washer/dryer will take care of the laundry while the central air-conditioning keeps you comfortable.
Fire up the charcoal BBQ in the common area to grill up fresh local seafood while you take in the views. If grilling isn't your thing, there is a kitchenette inside that features a two-burner range, refrigerator, and a microwave to heat up your tasty leftovers, plus small appliances including a coffeemaker and blender.
When it's time to turn in, this studio has room for up to four guests to enjoy the views. The soft queen bed will lull you into a restful night of sleep, while your guests will enjoy the plush sofa bed. With plenty of space for your belongings and even a toaster for a quick morning bite, you'll have everything you need for an amazing stay.
Wake up, grab a bite to eat, and hit the waves on a rented kayak of SUP. Paddle through the waters of Santa Rosa Sound as you explore the the local maritime environment.
Grab a spot on the warm sandy beaches on Okaloosa Island and enjoy the gentle waves crashing at your feet. Swing by the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park to see the dolphins jump and the sting rays swim by. Then come home to float the day away in the community pool.
Whether you're catching a show at the Gulfarium, sitting on the sun-drenched beaches, or swimming in the pool, this Florida retreat has it all.

Clean, quiet property. Perfect size and amenities for a weekend getaway. Easy to access and close to lots of activities. Best of all, great view!
4.3
Sheets were stained, toilet was clogged upon arrival, patio chairs were ratty. Not toddler friendly. Pretty far from everything which I new it wasn’t on the beach but it still says you have great views which the only view you get is from the bay waterway. A lot of blocked parking spaces by cones.
Shower does have good water pressure which was nice.

Sweet little minimalist appt. Lovely view; sunsets from the balcony. Don't plan on cooking much: two burners and a microwave. Tiny sink. Look in every drawer to find utensils, corkscrew (bring a wine glass). No dining table, ok. There's just something about it that was perfect for my solo get away.

Room was clean. Great water pressure. Slept well and that view! We got an amazing sunset on our last day.
The unit is a little older and starting to show it. Could use a bit of TLC. Bit it served our needs. Also customer service was fast and did amazing job accommodating us on the one small issue we had. Very happy.

Nice condo with great location and pool. Only complaints are the bed mattress caves to the center so it is not as comfortable as it could be. The bathroom sink is stopped up and drains very slowly. Other than those things, it was a great stay!

We loved staying at Pirates Bay - the price was great. At some point this must have been a smoking unit but we were fine once we aired it out real good.

A couple of things need to be addressed, that I would criticize is there are no lights around the pool, and that there needs to be some hooks and gets for hand towels, towels in the bathroom.
