RESORT & AREA Sea Oats Resort is a mid-sized, seven-story beachfront condominium community located on the shores of Okaloosa Island in Fort Walton Beach. Built in 1983, the complex consists of 80 units, offering a residential atmosphere that avoids the high-density crowds of larger resort towers. This resort provides guests direct access to the white sand and emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico via a private boardwalk. For those who enjoy staying active, the property features onsite lighted tennis courts that are also marked for pickleball. The gulf-front sun deck serves as a central hub for the resort, including a swimming pool and a hot tub where you can swim or lounge while looking out at the ocean. Located about six miles from the Destin Harbor Boardwalk, Sea Oats provides a quiet island atmosphere while remaining close to deep-sea fishing and dolphin excursions. The resort is within walking distance of several local attractions, including the Okaloosa Island Fishing Pier, the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park, and the various shops and entertainment options at The Boardwalk. This proximity allows visitors to enjoy the Destin area's amenities without staying in the middle of heavy traffic.
Parking: Free uncovered parking is provided for up to 3 vehicles with each reservation.
Food: For groceries, you're just a short drive from Publix at Shoppes at Paradise Pointe or nearby Winn-Dixie, making snack time and meal prep stress-free. On Okaloosa Island, Stewby's Seafood Shanty is the top choice for affordable fresh fish, while Old Bay Steamer is a local favorite for high-quality steamed shrimp and crab. For breakfast, Asiago's Skillet serves massive portions nearby, and The Gulf offers unique waterfront dining in a chic, outdoor shipping container setting. A short drive into Destin brings you to McGuire's Irish Pub for its famous steaks and lively atmosphere, or Boshamps Oyster House for fresh oysters with harbor views. Louisiana Lagniappe provides refined Creole seafood, and the original Dewey Destin's Seafood offers an authentic "old Florida" dockside experience. Don't forget The Donut Hole for its legendary breakfast and handmade pies.

Nice family vacation
We had a great time at the Sea Oats with our family for fall break. It was a pretty accurate description, however there were supposed to be two beds in one room and there was not. Everything else was fine, the room was clean and described just as the listing. The pool was very nice and beach was very close! We enjoyed our stay and would be open to coming back in the future.

Nice Place
While you can't see the ocean really well (this condo is at the back side of the property) it is a good place to rent to go to the beach. The back bedrooms are small and the air conditioning in those bedroom isn't great, but overall we enjoyed our stay here.

Fantastic Fourth of July
The place was clean and smelled clean when we arrived. It was a great location to watch fireworks because the balconies face the mainland and the pier. The listing does not say the kitchen is stocked with all you need to cook, and there's a closet with games and puzzles! Bonus! We had seven staying there and it never felt cramped. The twin bed is actually a roll away cot. I would stay there again if the opportunity came again. Great location.

Everything was fine except there was no Air condition in the elevators and it was way to hot in there. We were on the 5th floor so we went up and down the stairs most of the time. It was really inconvenient. The room was great though and right on the beach was great as well

Sea Chase Condo
Pros: The location was great! The two balconies were really nice too. Spacious condo. Good ice maker. Good living room area. Large seating areas were great. Kitchen is large and was clean. Access to the beach was ideal.
Cons: Master bed was uncomfortable and would be better if it were a King, because there’s plenty of room. Dishwasher makes a lot of unusual noises when it runs. Washing machine makes loud noises too. Dryer takes twice as long to dry clothes/towels. BUT they all worked. Master bath is outdated and there was significant mold on the shower curtain. The tennis court is not usable.
Overall, I got what I paid for and I’d stay there again for the price I paid.

Unhappy with amenties
The unit was nice and very close to the beach which was convenient. The unit was roomy but needed a little updating and some painting. The issues we had were with the wifi which is almost non existent. My daughter had a conference all week during our stay and was unable to attend via the internet due to the lack of wifi service. We were also unable to use one of the balconies in the unit due to construction and the other balcony was full of furniture so it was basically unusable as well. We also had plays to play tennis during our stay and was unable to do so because the tennis court was being used as the construction area and was also in really bad shape. We also were very disappointed that the hot tub was out of order duringnour entire stay. We were disappointed with some of the amenities that we were not able to use during our stay. Even though the unit was OK if we had known about the wifi, construction, balconies and no hot tub we would have made other arrangements.

Sea Oats 512 Okaloosa Island, Fort Walton Beach, FL
The unit was nice and kitchen exceptionally well stocked!
We did have a cleanliness issue when we first arrived (it was something that would be easy to overlook). Resort manager got it remedied very quickly and the cleaning personnel was professional and courteous! THE WIFI WAS AWFUL! We called on that, too but could never get it working reliably or for much time. Don't bring a lot of homework along! I personally thought that the cleaning fee was excessive. It was listed in a range of $*** - $ **** for the week. We were charged the highest amount, possibly based on having 5 family members along. We left it as clean as if 2-3 people had stayed there. The beach was close and view of town area was nice. Personally, I did not find the living room furniture to be very comfortable but I guess that's personal. The unit was very roomy and comfortable overall...having 3 bedrooms is quite nice on vacation! The luggage carts were plentiful and held a lot. All in all, a very pleasant and relaxing place to spend a week!!!
* Listing accuracy lost a star because of the poor internet wifi reliability.

The property sits right on the ocean with super easy access to the pool and beach. This property is roomy with three bedrooms, a fully furnished kitchen, TVs in each room, and has a washer and dryer. The air conditioner in this unit works amazingly well. The property manager was quick to respond to emails. We loved the white sandy beaches, clear ocean and daily complimentary umbrella and 2 beach chairs. There are two balcony’s with one of them having a distant view of the ocean. We didn’t miss the front ocean view because we spent so much time outside and were exhausted by the time we went in.
There are lots of places that deliver and do grocery pick up if you are trying to stay out of crowds. This place was very family friendly.... we hope to return!

Excellent condo, location and although you can only see a bit of the ocean from the balcony it's just a short ride down the elevator and you're right there. We are a blended family with 8 of us total. We didn't feel crowded. Kids loved the waffle maker. Easy on us. We booked a snorkel trip. Sat on the beach and swam in the pool. Even relaxed in the indoor hot tub while it rained for a short bit. Would recommend to all families!

perfect vacation!
The condo was excellent..minus a few stains on the carpet (expected with rental property). It was perfect. The view isn’t the greatest, but we knew that beforehand and still chose it. The good thing about the angle of the two balconies was the full sun in the mornings while drinking coffee (to get a nice tan before heading to the beach) and nice shade in the afternoon (when you’ve had your fill of the sun for the day). We will definitely stay in this unit again. I highly recommend it!

What a great condo!
This place is spacious, decorated nicely, and very clean. We loved having two separate balconies. We thought is was a great deal and plan to return in the future. There was even a professional style waffle maker! All bedrooms have wall mounted televisions. We also loved the open floor plan connecting the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The dining table was big enough for the whole family. We all felt it was just a really comfortable place to stay.
