About this property

Waterfront Studio with two Pools, Grills, Pet Friendly

Pirates Bay - A306
Beautifully appointed waterfront studio-condo located in the peaceful Pirates Bay resort in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

This resort is a hidden gem, providing a quiet, relaxed holiday base in a great location. It is located just outside of the busy tourist areas whilst being only a two minute drive to the beautiful Emerald Coast's white sand beaches on the Gulf of America and eight miles from Destin. There are two large free-form pools to enjoy, grilling stations and beautiful grounds for relaxing.

Our unit is pet friendly (additional charge) and is located on the third floor of the popular ‘A’ building within Pirates Bay. The spectacular views of the Santa Rosa Sound, the private marina, Gulf of America and the wonderful sunsets are stunning. Pirates Bay is truly a unique resort, which offers a quiet getaway from normal life.

A306 is decorated to a very high standard, perfect for a couple or a small family of up to four. There is a queen size bed and a queen size sleeper sofa. Everything you need is provided for short or long term stays including a kitchenette with a small 2 burner glass stove, microwave and full size refrigerator; note there is no oven. There is a 50" LED TV with cable/HBO, DVD player, free high speed Wi-Fi, tea/coffee (Keurig) making facilities and a full ensuite bathroom.

The views from the private 3rd floor balcony are one of the great features for a relaxing waterfront stay. Enjoy the two seat bistro set and watch the boats on the Intracoastal Waterway while enjoying a cold drink.

There are two large pools to cool down in or simply lounge around the edge and soak up the sunshine.

A picnic and grilling area is available for guest use. Two grilling stations and two table sets are waiting for a relaxing BBQ whilst watching the boats come and go in the private marina.

Stroll along the marina or take a fishing pole down to the docks and catch some fish, children under the age of 16 do not require a license (please see local regulations for fishing). There are grouper, mullet, sea trout, sting ray and flounder year round (especially during the summer months).

The resort has an elevator, guest laundry facilities.

Please let us know if you need to use the sleeper sofa when booking so that we can ensure bedding is provided.

When booking please ensure you provide a cell phone number for us to contact you on. We will only use this for updates to door codes or important information during your stay.

We loved this location! It was perfect! Pool was clean and pretty big. The easy access to the docks was a huge plus for my husband, myself, and our 2 boys (10 & 13). We enjoyed being able to fish at our leisure. Do keep in mind it is a studio sized unit, but my family of managed just fine. Would absolutely stay here again.

The cleanness was exceptional. Great place for a couple to stay. Location is on the bay we expected beach access. Elevator was especially slow and HOT. Having luggage cart to bring your luggage to the end of the third floor would have helped. Over all nice place for a couple.

About the host

Host profile image
Having traveled extensively, we have come to know what it takes for a great holiday rental. For us it's all about cleanliness, quality, location and most importantly a friendly relaxed and quiet atmosphere. We have incorporated everything we look for when staying into our unit and are sure you will enjoy your stay.

We deep clean the unit personally after each stay to ensure our standards are maintained.

Why they chose this property

We searched for a long time around the area before we were lucky to find Pirates Bay. Our unit, A306, is Pet friendly and located on the third floor of the ‘A’ building within Pirates Bay.

The spectacular views of the Santa Rosa Sound, the private marina, gulf of Mexico and the wonderful sunsets were an instant attraction to us. Pirates Bay is truly a unique resort, which offers a quiet getaway from normal life.

After purchase we extensively refurbished the unit with all new furniture and equipment; we continuously maintain the unit to keep it in perfect condition.

This resort is a hidden gem, providing a quiet, relaxed holiday base in a great location. It is located just outside of the busy tourist areas whilst only being a two minute drive to the beautiful Emerald Coast's white sand beaches on the Gulf of Mexico and eight miles from Destin. There are two large free-form pools to enjoy, grilling stations and beautiful grounds.

Local restaurants offer wonderful food ranging from casual to fine dining – there is no need to travel far from the resort.

What makes this property unique

Our unit is Pet friendly (see additional fee) and always presented spotlessly clean for each guest.
We are proud of our TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence, which we have been awarded each year from 2017 through to the current year.

We maintain our unit to the very high standards that we expect when staying away from home, as we want your stay to be perfect. We deep clean the unit after each and every guest to ensure that the unit is always spotlessly clean.
Please contact us for anything you may need for your stay or any further information.

Pirates Bay has a quiet relaxed friendly feel and is just perfect for a getaway or long term stay, with or without your boat and pet.
