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 room ,comfortable bed, great pool and the view is stunning. But if you’re planning to cook some meals you won’t be able to . Also, I would say it’s good for no move then tow people. The negative side for me was the laundry. I tried to use it twice it didn’t work and they charged me . When I called they told me to call a different number. I’m on vacation I’m not gonna spend my day on the phoneI for that!!! So, we ended up using a laundry at 5 min driving.

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!

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.

Wonderful place
We loved it for our short honeymoon! It’s super quite in the area though close enough to the beach and eatery’s. We loved it so much that we will be rebooking it for our full honeymoon next year

Clean and cozy. But the AC doesn't keep up with the Summer heat.
Afternoon indoor temp reached 79° everyday of my stay. Staff sent a fan. Thank you. Great place to stay in Winter or Spring.

It was a nice place
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.

Perfect for a quick getaway
Clean, convenient and very cost effective! Boat dock perfect for evening fishing. Close to anything that you need. Loved the keyless entry. Only drawback was traffic to Destin... but what can you do!

Great place for a short stay but>>>
Great place for a short stay. Decor is very dated however for the price it was good. Sofa bed is TERRIBLE.... would recommend for owners to replace it. Made a late night trip to the local Walmart for an Air Mattress it was so bad. Also would recommend for the owners to replace all there outlets. Very limited outlets that actually held your plug in. Would recommend some power strip in this day and age with everyone having phones to charge. Other than those few minor recommendations a really great place . Pool is really nice and relaxing when you don't want the sand. Location is very convient to the action and Very clean. Nice parking and great to have a fridge in the unit for cooler over flow.
6.0 / 10.0
Great grounds and pool. Could use some updating.
Sofa bed is totally useless. Had an air mattress so we had to inflate that after a very long day. Bathroom could use better ventilation. Check in was super easy and place was clean. Outlets need replaced because they can’t hold on to a plug-in. Could use more outlets as well. Only like 5 outlets but only 3 useable and we had to unplug lamps in order to charge phones. And with 4 people needing to charge phones this was a challenge. Pool was a little dirty with bugs and wasps but still enjoyable.

Our stay was excellent.
The location was great and the grounds were were well maintained. The room was good, but could use a little more thorough cleaning.

Lovely Apartment
The apartment was easy to access, clean and comfortable. It was clear the owner had spent time ensuring this was a comfortable place to stay. The management company responded quickly to any questions I had.
Unfortunately we only had a short 1 night stay during bad weather and were not able to take advantage of the beautiful looking pool or even the balcony .
