Summary:

Pirates Bay A309



The Space:

Couples and small families are sure to love this bayfront Fort Walton Beach studio, complete with a great location, shared pools, and a nearby dock and beach.



With Fort Walton Beach's downtown only two miles north, this home for four is great for exploring! There's even a private beach, marina, and several restaurants just a short walk away, and the beaches of Okaloosa Island are just a little farther by car.



The living room doubles as the sole bedroom of the studio, with a plush queen bed and Sofa Bed sleeping four guests total. Enjoy a relaxing shower in the nearby bath, admire the great views of the sound from your balcony, and relax on the room's comfy furnishings. From WiFi, cable TV, and a DVD player, you have plenty of entertainment options to keep you busy!

Whether you're heading out for a day of fishing, cruising, or sunset views, having your boat right on-site makes every outing effortless. Ideal for boating enthusiasts looking to make the most of waterfront living.



When you're not swimming in the pool, watching boats at the marina, or relaxing at the small private beach on the sound, you have all of Fort Walton Beach to explore! Multiple nearby beaches, Okaloosa Island's boardwalk just four miles away, and nearby cities like Panama City Beach 55 miles eastward and Pensacola 40 miles west give you lots to see during your stay!

Bay front studio

The stay was great. Cleanliness could have been better. Smashed roach on the sliding glass door, long black hair all over the bathroom floor, black out curtain is in need of hanging clips. Needed iteems in the room: hairdryer, towels for the pool or beach.

My Weekend Stay

Just me and my daughter, so plenty of space for us. Great view of the bay! It is old, so needs a little work, carpet stayed wet the whole weekend and the pool definitely needed to be cleaned. Otherwise, we were happy.

50th birthday vacation

Had an amazing time! Was not happy with my adult son having to sleep on air mattress because lay out couch was too uncomfortable that was the reason we rented that room for the extra queen pull out sofa the cleaning lady told us that the last people who stayed complained also. The owner should take that out and get a new one or take off website that was a selling point for me having a grown adult with us.

Super Convenient

I chose this room based on it being a convenient location for paramotor training with Fly High Paramotors. The location was super convenient for my needs. While not a beach view, the water bay area view from the balcony is beautiful. The room is basically like a hotel room with a full fridge and very small kitchenette. My only complaint was personal. I found the bed extremely soft, but my wife, had she been with me, would have loved it.

Clean unit with pretty view

The unit was clean and has a pretty view from the balcony. The bathroom is roomy and the king bed comfy. Very nice linens. Our main disappointment was that there was no heated pool as advertised. Also, we would not stay there again until the outside painting is finished. We called VRBO and because of the pool and painting they did refund some of our money. The kitchen area is sparsely furnished and items are in cabinets too high for me, at 5'3", to reach and no kitchen stool like I have at home.

We had a great trip

The property was in a safe location. Restaurants within walking distance where delicious and there was a variety. The views from the balcony or beautiful. We enjoy the pool and walking out on the docks. It was a little tight for us. I was traveling with my teenager and 10 year old. There was not real room to open the sofa bed for my teen without impeding walkways but he was fine sleeping on the couch. Extra towels would have been helpful especially considering I do travel with children and they are not always careful about getting water on the floor. When I requested extra towels I was told that would not be possible. Otherwise we enjoyed everything and the property met my expectations.
