BEACHFRONT BEAUTY. AMAZING GULF VIEWS! OVERSIZED PATIO WITH DIRECT BEACH ACCESS.

Escape to “Sandy Thongs”, a beautiful, updated, condo with a fresh new look. Our building has been updated with new paint colors and other upgrades making it one of the most desirable locations on Okaloosa Island. Enjoy the beautiful Gulf views, sunrises and sunsets from the huge patio with direct beach access, which comes in handy if you have children.
The cool, sugary white sand, aqua blue water, first floor access, and 1453 sq.ft. of living space, makes this one of the best two-bedroom properties on the beach.

Wake up every morning and watch the beautiful sunrise peeking up over the Okaloosa Pier and end each day with the most amazing sunsets you will ever experience. If you enjoy a more secluded, less crowded beach where you can enjoy the full untamed beauty and sounds of the Gulf, step into our world when you stay at “Sandy Things”.

There are two large bedrooms, with one king, two queen sized beds. In the living room there is an oversized sectional sofa large enough to sleep two, if extra space is needed. There are two full baths with walk-in showers, fully equipped kitchen with granite counters and everything you need to cook or grill the best of meals.

There is a utility room off the kitchen, with full-sized washer and dryer. The unit is located on the ground floor... that's right, no more waiting for elevators or dealing with luggage carts. Pull up to the front door and walk right in.

Experience breathtaking views from the moment you walk inside the front door. When you're ready to enjoy this astounding beach, just step off the patio onto the sand and just a few more steps over the dune's bridge and you're ready to experience this exhilarating island. There is ample seating on the patio so the whole family can enjoy the amazing views.

Evenings are exceptional at “Sandy Thongs” because unlike so many other complexes with roads you have to cross or pools you have to walk through to get to the beach. There is nothing to obscure your access or view of the ocean. Surf Dweller's heated swimming pool, kiddy pool, gym and tennis/pickle ball court are located in the front of the complex, which allows guest to enjoy private, quiet evenings on the patio where the stars are amazing, and the sounds of the gulf will mesmerize you and capture your heart forever.

“Sandy Thongs” is located within minutes of anything you could possibly want to experience during your visit. The Boardwalk, Okaloosa Island Pier, Gulfarium, Pleasure Island Water Park, and Beasley Park are a must see. Also, if you want to spend the day in the bay or at Crab Island between Fort Walton Beach and Destin, boat and jet ski rentals are less than a mile away.

There are many great restaurants within a few minutes of “Sandy Thongs”. The convenience of shopping for groceries, or other items are also just minutes away in Fort Walton Beach.

When you book “Sandy Thongs” free beach service is provided between March 1 - October 31st and includes two beach chairs and one umbrella each day. Also, we provide some beach toys. We provide starter supplies of dish soap, dishwasher soap, trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry pods, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Beach towels are available for our guests to use as well. There is an assortment of games, adult and children's books for everyone to enjoy.

Need more space to accommodate your larger group? Ask about our second unit, “Sunset Dreams”.

“Sandy Thongs” is a non-smoking unit. Smoking is allowed on the patio. Must be 25 years old to book this listing. No pets of any kind are allowed.

We hope you will visit us soon and often!

Property is in a perfect location and just steps away from the beach. We loved that it is a smaller complex so it wasn't so crowded in the parking lot and on the beach. Chair setup was great! Easy access to condo and no elevator needed which we loved! Condo had everything we needed and then some and it was very clean. Owners very responsive to questions we had. Highly recommend this property for a great beach vacation!

The good: clean and comfortable for most of us. Nice deck with very nice patio furniture. Very convenient access to beach. The kitchen had plenty of glasses, dishes, utensils, and cookware.The bad (and reason for my low rating): when we booked, the listing described the sofa in the living room as suitable for 2 adults to sleep on. It was not suitable for anyone to sleep on - too narrow and too slippery with a sheet. We needed 3 separate sleeping areas so one of our party was pretty miserable trying not to fall off the sofa at night. There were only 3 beach towels for our party of 5, and there was only 1 cheapo beachchair that was useable. That left us with a total of 3 chairs (including beach service). No shower soap or dishwasher detergent despite being told to run the dishwasher when checking out - had the dishes in the cabinets actually been washed with detergent? Only 1 kitchen towel. No extra paper towels or trashbags. Minimal TP. This was the worst stocked vacation rental we've stayed at in many years. I could have brought extras of all those things (and beach chairs) if the host had only indicated to bring extras - as some do. The host also has a lot of rules, but there isn't a physical copy in the rental - so the primary renter has to communicate all the rules to everyone else in the group. We did not complete all the checkout cleaning tasks(!!!) due to notice that exterminator would be entering an hour before checkout.

Youngest graduated HS...we are going to the beach!

Great beach access. Appreciated having beach set up included. Kitchen had everything needed. We were able to pack light because of washer/dryer in condo.Only regret was that we didn't stay longer.
View outside of patio doors.
Beach was peaceful and not overcrowded.

Really amazing place. We wanted to book again as soon as we left! Thank you Ronda and Lisa. We had a mix up at check in and some slow response times but other than that everything was smooth and our stay was magical! Well equipped, beautiful space. Enjoyed coffee on the porch in the early morning watching the beach come alive. Can’t wait to be back!

It’s all in the details!!

What a great stay at Sandy Thongs! Great location with an easy first floor walk out to the beach and less then a mile to anything you might need. The beauty was in the details- high end touches - furniture, beds, patio furniture- area to hose off on the patio. Things like a California king bed for a tall family and a spare room with larger then twin beds - again - tall family. Rooms are very spacious. Finishes are well thought out and the kitchen is fully operational. Extra beach chairs and beach towels, toys and even sippy cups for the littlest vacationer. Starter items like coffee filters and TP and paper towels and a few snacks - these details really made the difference. We would absolutely recommend and stay again! Thank you Rhonda and family!!

Low key & loving it

This was our first time to stay in Fort Walton & we loved it. The beach wasn’t as crowded as some other places which was nice. The condo had everything we needed & was decorated nicely. Being on the 1st floor was great, especially when you forgot something on the beach and had to go back. Property managers were great and always responded quickly. Would definitely recommend.

Everything was as described. The location is perfect. If you want a busy beach then you should go to Destin because the traffic here is low and just what we wanted with toddlers. This was perfect for my little family. The owner was prompt and courteous with her responses. We never wanted for anything. The condo has everything you'll need and more!

AWESOME PLACE/AMAZING TIMES!

WE LOVED THIS PLACE! Our family of 5 rented the condo from May 23rd-27th. What a gem of a place! First level, your own entrance so you’re not sharing an elevator/respecting social distancing. We used the pool when it was too dark to swim in the ocean and when the red/purple flag was out to not swim. I read ALL the reviews before making the reservation. What sealed the decision was the location, BEACH ACCESS-not crowed at all, surrounding activities available(we snorkeled, parasailed and visited the Air Force Armament Museum-so much fun!) Everything in the descriptions were accurate. All we needed was groceries for 3 teenagers. 😊 Ronda reached out to me, welcomed us and sent helpful info about the condo/area. She left contact info in case we needed her or anything, which we didn’t. The condo was just right for us, the beach was the main reason I booked it. We will definitely come back(I told my husband we need to come back for our own R&R, WITHOUT the kids(12 yo, 13 yo and 16yo 🙂). I HIGHLY recommend this condo! Thank you, Ronda, hope to return to your condo sooner then later! 🥰

It was a great experience. From the pics, I thought that it was a walk straight onto the beach, but there are sand dunes that block your view, but the privacy was actually quite nice and only a very short walk to the walkway. Definitely would stay there again.

This was the nicest, cleanest, neatest little condo. It has everything you need and a little more. The description the owners give, is exactly what it is. We are in love with this place. The condo, the beach, and the area. It is quiet and absolutely beautiful. We are already talking about making plans for next summer. The pictures you view on VRBO are exactly what you see when you get there. Easy access to the beach. Everything from the condo to the beach is so clean. Plus there are extras in the condo for the beach. It’s just a great little get away. We LOVED IT!!
