This spacious 4 bedroom/3 bathroom condo is located on the 3rd floor of the prestigious Azure Resort complex on quiet Okaloosa Island in Fort Walton Beach, FL (next door to Destin.) We love this location so much we have owned property on the Island since 2014! We recently purchased Azure 304 in January 2023 and have worked hard since then to update the finishes, furniture and decor. Updates include the following: - All new paint throughout - All new lighting throughout - New backlit mirrors in bathrooms - New ceiling fans - New furniture in living room - New rugs & decor throughout - New bedroom furniture - New polywood furniture on balcony EXPERIENCED VACATION RENTAL OWNERS – WHY WE BOUGHT THIS CONDO We love the Azure condo complex because at 1645 square feet the units are some of the most spacious that we found during our property search. There is plenty of room to spread out and relax without feeling cramped or on top of each other. Additionally, Azure is a mid-density building. This means that our guests will have plenty of room on the private beach since they will be sharing it with only other Azure residents and guests. DIRECT BEACHFRONT LOCATION – NO ROADS TO CROSS Because of this building's location (directly on the beach) our guests have access to the beach just a short walk over the dunes using the private walkway. You will not have to pack up your car to drive to a public beach access, nor carry your equipment, coolers, etc. across a road to the beach. As a service for our guests, your stay at Beach Bliss includes a reservation for two beach chairs and one umbrella set up each day on the beach just for you (March 1 through October 31). Additionally, we have arranged for our guests to enjoy one FREE 2-hour paddleboard or kayak rental during their stay so if you've never had a chance to try one of these activities before this is the perfect opportunity!

Besides loving everything else that Azure has to offer one of the main reasons why we bought this condo was THE VIEW! We knew we could change almost everything inside the condo, but it was the view of the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico that sold us on the property. The large 26' balcony has plenty of room to relax on new patio furniture and to also sit at the table and enjoy your morning coffee or meals "al fresco". While relaxing on the balcony you can enjoy the sound of the waves' constant dance towards the shore and often enjoy the sight of a pod of dolphins swimming and playing in the surf just off of the beach. NOTE: During Spring Break (March - mid-April) and Summer (mid-May - mid-August) we have a 7 night minimum requirement, arriving on Saturday and departing on Saturday. If you create a booking during these dates that does not arrive and depart on a Saturday we will be not be able to accept the booking. Thanks for your cooperation. AZURE BUILDING AMENITIES Azure Condos are Okaloosa Island's most prestigious gulf front address. Its Mediterranean architecture is beautiful and elegant and the landscaping is lush and professional. Secure and covered parking is available for the entire complex. The building is well-maintained and offers highly-desired and sought after amenities that are rarely available at other buildings on the Island. Not one but two beautiful, sparkling swimming pools are located in the back between the building and the beach. One of the pools is heated from mid-Nov through early-May. For those who don't care to sit on the beach there are lounge chairs on the deck around the pool. Please play safely and supervise children at all times; there is not a lifeguard on duty at these pools. Each pool has its each own hot tub and there is also a fun spray feature that the kids will love. There are restrooms available for our guests' use in the hallway leading from the lobby to the pool, which means you don't have to go all of the way up to the condo to use the bathroom when enjoying the beach. When you are finally ready to go inside for the day you can rinse off all of the sand and salt water at the outdoor shower at the entrance of the dune walkover from the pool. A large wheelchair accessible boardwalk leads from the pool area to the beautiful sugar-white sand beach and emerald green waters of the Gulf. Azure offers the largest fitness center available on the Island and has been refurbished with all new equipment. So if keeping up with your fitness routine is important to you even on vacation you will love taking advantage of this state-of-the-art gym.
