This ground-floor studio at Pirates' Bay Condos is lovely - the perfect place for your next Florida beach vacation. Steps from a Santa Rosa Sound beach, featuring a pool and shared picnic area, this vacation rental will keep your whole crew happy.

About three miles away by car is Okaloosa Island, which offers tons of family-friendly fun. Take the kids to the Gulfarium to feed dolphins and learn about the local ecosystem. Each Wednesday, the boardwalk there hosts a fireworks show. For a dinner out that will please even picky eaters, visit one of the many restaurants inland about three miles at Uptown Station.

Entertainment options are endless, with the streaming Netflix available on the TV. While the kids watch their favorite flick again, make popcorn in the provided microwave.

The kitchenette will help you save a few bucks on eating out since you can store staples like milk and eggs in the fridge and fix simple meals on the two-burner electric stove top. And, with central air-conditioning, the condo will keep cool while cooking goes on.

A coin-operated laundry room allows you to pack lightly. There's also free WiFi. Sit in the cushy chair by the sliding glass door or even outside on the private porch's cushioned furniture. Among Forth Walton Beach vacation rentals, this one is tops!

If you prefer a quiet respite close to your home away from home, hang out poolside and toast marshmallows on the picnic area's grill as the sun sets and fireflies begin their nightly light show.

Florida's Emerald Coast vacation rentals are always ideal for your family getaways, and this condo at Pirates' Bay is no exception.

Worst renting experience I’ve ever encountered.
I stayed at Pirates Bay in FT. Walton beach for one week. (Jun 24-July 1st)The first day we get there I realize the fridge is not working at all and the sheets/ pillow cases/ bedding smelled like it had not been cleaned. So I decided I could clean the sheets myself so I did. The fridge being broke was out of my control though so I called the maintenance number and the lady said she would write a maintenance ticket and they would fix it. 3 days go by nobody showed up to look or fix the fridge. I call vacasa this time and the lady says they will send someone out. Two more days go by I call Vrbo and have a rep speak with a lady from Vacasa and she says they will get someone out there and she will call me back about reimbursement. Finally on the afternoon before we leave there is a different fridge plugged in in-front of the old one. (I am not happy or pleased). A day goes by and I’m finally back home and I call Vacasa to ask about the status of the reimbursement and I am told they will give me $25 a day for everyday the fridge was out.( I lost several hundred dollars worth of food between the groceries and leftovers I had to throw out everyday) So I was not pleased and asked for an explanation for that number and I was told AGAIN I would get a call back. Guess what? I never got a call back so I called today and was told the ticket is closed and I will not be reimbursed! Wow this whole experience has been awful, get a hotel or anywhere other than a Vacasa managed property.

Check in process was excellent. Unit was as described. Enjoyed the stay and our time there. The only issue we really had was with whom ever was staying in the unit above us. It sounded like they were constantly moving furniture around.

Very confusing. Couldn't find an office to check in. Didn't know we didn't have to.
The property itself is nice. We thought we would be overlooking a beach, but we were not an had to drive a couple of miles to get to a beach. Need more upfront information such as how to change linen, and ask general questions. No office.

In much need of updating!
Lumpy bed, uncomfortable couch, and laundry that you will question putting your clothes in. No Netflix as advertised but the worst part was no real way to lock the door from in the room. Vacasa staff entered the room twice, that I know of, without my approval.

Enjoyable stay
We had no real issues while staying in the condo at Pirates Bay. I was concerned after reading a recent review a few days before we left. The issues mentioned were 1. bugs by the microwave area and the owners must have sprayed because we didn't see any. 2. the sliding door not locking and the owners added a chain lock to the door. It is nice to know they pay attention to reviews and fix what is needed. It's nice that they care! What we really liked was this unit was right beside the pool which we used daily. We also enjoyed to docks and walking out to look at the water and we even had a dolphin come really close early one morning. The unit is cute, clean, and was plenty of space for just the two of us. I would be happy to stay here again. It is a quieter area with the hustle, crowds, restaurants, and shopping being a short drive away to enjoy.

I was very dissatisfied that the pool right in front of our room was closed.
We booked this room since the pool was right in front of the room but got there to find out it was closed. Had to walk through 2 lots to go swim at other complex. Should be listed in the description so people know.

Perfect Gem on the Bay!!
This studio was perfect for my family of three. It had everything that we needed. A couch that made out into a bed. A comfy bed. Super clean linens. Awesome TV. The kitchenette was awesome. The view from our patio was all we needed. Restaurants all around us. So close to the beach-a 5 minute drive. We would definitely stay here again!!!!! Soooo clean.

Great 1 bedroom condo!
Love the place. The Property was perfect! The unit it self sitting right on the bay was the best. The unit inside was just enough for my husband and myself. Plus, it's right around the corner from the blue waters of the beach and state park. And was in driving distance (6 miles) from Destin. And if you didn't want to take in the beach all the time, there was the actual little walking front of Fort Walton on 98. We couldn't ask for a better vacation spot. Thanks Vrbo!
