This home boasts the rare to find on Okaloosa Island, a two-car garage. The metal roof has all new screws, replaced in 2024. In the front patio space is a 4 x4 post set in the ground with plumbing under ground so that an outdoor shower can be hooked to the spigot, if you wish to add that feature. It's nice to rinse off sand and salt before going back inside. This townhome is fully furnished and move-in ready. Your laundry is conveniently located on the back deck between the garage and the french doors to the living room. This home is a must see. Now, why you're really here. OUR AMAZING BEACHES! You'll be amazed and thrilled at just how close this townhome is to THE BEACH, local attractions, dining, and activities like watersports, deep-sea fishing, golf and so much more. With its prime location, just 500 feet from your gate is Beach Access #2, putting our world famous sugar-white sands and emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico under your feet. Beach Access #1 is just a short stroll further. How convenient is that? Directly across from Beach Access #2 is the newest addition, Park Access #11, aka Okaloosa Island Boat Basin. This new and unique water park accesses the calmer water of Santa Rosa Sound and features an easy walk-in ramp for kayak or paddle board launching, with floating and fixed docks, it's the perfect spot to safely launch your non-powered water toys, or hangout on the dock and do some relaxing fishing. Do you have friends with a boat or powered water craft they own, or one they rented nearby? That's perfect. This park allows temporary docking, just no overnight stays. They can pick you up here and whisk you away for an amazingly fun day on the water. Head East to Destin via watercraft and hang out at the beautiful and fun Crab Island or secluded bayside beaches along the way. You're almost certainly going to see dolphins along the way. Or you can hit the Destin Harbor and find more dining, shopping and entertainment. If you want total privacy, head West from the basin and find your very own secluded island in Santa Rosa Sound. There are so many to choose from. Whether you're enjoying a day at the beach, launching a kayak at the nearby basin, or unwinding in your beautiful townhome, this property offers a lifestyle like no other. Now let me tell you about some of the wonderful and very close-by non-beach related things Okaloosa Island has to offer. With its prime location, from your gate and just steps past the Beach Access #2, or you can come in from off the beach, is Bucetti's Pizza on the Beach. A great local hidden spot with pizza, drinks, live entertainment, and get this, customers can use the pool. Now that's cool. Also, above the adjacent hotel is Vincenzo's Italian Bistro for fine dining. Scoot out your gate to the East along the sidewalk and you'll find a local favorite for seafood, Stewby's Steamer & Market. Only a few years old to this Okaloosa Island location, it comes with family generations of serving the best seafood in our area, and it's just 1100 ft. from your back gate. You can't beat that. Just another minute or two is Aj's on the Island, and Old Bay Steamer for more wonderful dining, and live entertainment. And let's not forget Fubar Pizza bar with late night entertainment and Asiago's Breakfast Skillet for a hearty breakfast. Now just across the intersection you'll find The Gulf restaurant on the sound with amazing Sound and Bay views. Just down from The Gulf is Marler Park, with a double boat launch and parking for vehicles with trailers. It also has several picnic pavilions, a playground and Soundside Beach. So you're by the beach, you're feeling that beach lifestyle, tropical sensations all around. I bet tropical food sounds good. Enjoy some authentic Hawaiian food at Kuku Kanes Island Eats food truck outside the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park. Hold the phone! I almost forgot the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park with dolphin shows, seals, penguins, you name it, great family fun, and less than a mile from your back gate. And next door is Okaloosa Island Pier, for great fishing, or to just go see others catching dinner. The pier overlooks the large public beach area and great views in all directions, there are also several more dining spots and shopping. Beach volley ball Continue reading
