Cottage holiday rentals in Fort Walton Beach

Returning to our favorite Airbnb beach cottage was just as magical as our first visit. The cozy interior, the yard feel, and easy access to the beach make it a perfect getaway. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every detail is just right. We love the serene atmosphere and can't wait to come back again. Highly recommended!

Daddio’s Cottage was a great place for our family to vacation. The location was amazing, and the porch was perfect! The proximity to the pool and beach was incredible, and it was so peaceful in the community. We were so appreciative of the amenities, including beach chairs on site and a very well stocked kitchen. There were a few minor cleanliness issues that we discussed with the concierge, including stained sheets and someone else’s mouth retainers on the living room floor, as well as large amounts of dust and sand throughout, but overall this was not a deterrent and we’d recommend this cottage in the future. Sydnee was incredibly responsive and helpful during our planning, and we are also so appreciative of that. We have great memories from our week on 30a!

Amazing house for our boys Senior Trip! Home everything we needed! Cottage was perfect. Pool was perfect!

Courtney's place was just perfect for my daughter's Senior Trip! The house was so cute and plenty big for all of us to spread out and relax. The bikes were perfect for the girls to go to and from the beach. It was also very walkable to the beach if you prefer to walk instead. Courtney was very responsive and so helpful, we would stay here again in a heart!

This has been my favorite place to stay so far. It was so clean and very beautiful. The walk to the beach is short and easy. We had an amazing time. The path to the pool and back patio is a vibe!

Molly's Place was perfect! It was only half a block to the public access point for the beach, and it was also very walkable to restaurants, including Destin Commons. The house was spotless and clean when we walked in, and every amenity needed was provided. The owner is always very responsive to messages. This was the second time we stayed, and I would highly recommend Molly's Place.

The cottage was perfect. It was spotless clean when we arrived. Jason was super fast in responding. The location couldn’t have been better. The private access white powder beach was beautiful. The bicycles were a nice touch as we rode them to Aly’s Beach. We didn’t leave without enjoying the pool also. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Elizabeth’s home felt comfortable and she made it simple to find items around the home. We had a great time using the hot tub and the golf cart. I would definitely stay at their home again! Appreciate it!

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cottage, everything that is posted is accurate to include images. We have been coming to Pensacola Florida for years and usually stayed at the hotels so this was the first experience we had using Airbnb and due to Ella’s hospitality we will continue to use Airbnb when we travel. Ella was very responsive when I had questions. As new empty nesters our 2 dogs are like our children and it was amazing to bring them with us to share this experience. This couldn’t have happened without the opportunity Ella provided us to bring our pets. All in all this was an amazing experience, I would highly recommend the Mermaid Cottage and Ella if you are looking for the opportunity to enjoy Pensacola Beach.

Carol was a phenomenal host- super kind and responsive - she took care of an issue with a charge from AirBnB super fast! The house was amazing- even cool (great ac! Many places we stay are never cool!)). Everything was super clean and looked great which I’m sure can be challenging when pet friendly! Obviously it’s not super close to the beach so be prepared to rent a golf cart or extra bikes if needed. Bc parking is so difficult at the beach, one person would drop everyone off and then go back to the house and ride one of the bikes back to the beach. It was so nice to have two bikes included as well!

We came for our daughter's engagement that turned into a wedding! The cottage had a beautiful backyard an Jennifer was kind to let us have an intimate dinner in the backyard with 14 people. We had a hiccup with the dress and she showed up with a sewing machine to help us out! Ended up dress not reparable and we got a wedding dress in the 12th hour! The house is adorable beds super comfortable we were a part of 6 an had plenty of room! Jennifer has thought of everything in the house so well stocked from kitchen items, towels, beach items and even wood in the fire pit! You will enjoy this beautiful cottage!

We had a wonderful stay at Sandra and Miguel’s beach house! The home was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our trip, which made everything smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciated their hospitality and communication. I would absolutely recommend staying here and would gladly return in the future. Thank you again for everything!

It was such a beautiful place and looked exactly like the pictures. We never even ran out of hot water and there were 5 of us showering after one another. A bottle opener in the house would have been great though. The outside area was amazing with hammock swings and grills and corn hole and a cool ring catch thing, fire pits and fire wood. Soooooo close to everything even walking distance to the beach and Navarre family watersports.

My husband and I enjoyed our month long stay at Maravilla (March 2025). We had a condo (building 1) last year and chose the cottage this year….more privacy, less noise. We had several guests throughout the month and there was plenty of room/space for all. Beautiful kitchen for cooking our meals. Large table to accommodate our guests. Enjoyed time on the back patio as well. Easy walk to pool, pickleball courts and beach. Beach umbrellas and chairs, which are included, are great. Bernadette was quick to respond if we had any concerns or questions throughout our stay. Thank you Bernadette for renting your cottage to us. We’ll be back because we love this area of Florida.

Our stay at the Castaway Cottage was wonderful!! We really enjoyed the location, the golf cart for getting around with ease, the cleanliness of the home, and the very responsive host with any issues that came up. Will definitely keep "The Castaway" on our list for future stays!! Suggestions: leave more or not limit trashbags (2 very thin kitchen bags) for easier clean up, easier instructions for seahorse fountain lolol. Never could get him to sing! :D Thank you for lending us your lovely home!

This home was great! We especially loved the back porch where we sat with our morning coffee. The beach was easily accessible and within walking distance with the provided beach cart, which we used every day. Although there were plenty of stores nearby for shopping, the actual neighborhood where the house was located was very quiet and good for afternoon naps after a long day at the beach. And Destin beaches are beautiful! We’ll be back next year!

This is my second time staying here and I would go back a hundred times! It’s the perfect stay for a couple. The space has everything you really need and it’s the perfect walk to the beach. It feels homey rather than feeling like you’re staying in a hotel. Deb has been great to reach at upon check in and check out both times we have stayed and she’s very responsive and friendly. My favorite Airbnb I’ve stayed at in the area, and I’ve stayed at many!

Great Airbnb!! Perfect for my family & I!! Thank you for everything Melinda from Houston, Tx.

The host was very responsive and friendly, highly recommend. The location wasn’t far from the airport or FWB , quiet with a lot of food spots around.

Absolutely **5 stars**! This beach house exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly welcoming. The location is perfect: just steps from the beach, but still peaceful and private. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were super comfortable, and having the beach chairs were an added bonus! We felt right at home and didn’t want to leave. It’s clear the owners take great care of the property and truly want guests to have the best experience. We would *definitely* stay here again. Highly recommend! Thanks Adi!

Everything about our stay was amazing! We did a weekend trip for a friends birthday and Claudia’s bungalow was beautiful and walking distance to the beach. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay.

This beautiful home exceeded all expectations! The view of the sea is absolutely stunning — you can enjoy it from the living room, kitchen, and even while relaxing outside. Every detail of the house is thoughtfully designed, and it comes with all the amenities you could need. From the cozy, well-furnished rooms to the fully equipped kitchen, it truly felt like a home away from home. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or a comfortable space for family or friends, this place is perfect. I can’t wait to come back!

We had a great stay at this eclectic little cottage. Great location only a few minutes walk to the beach and 5 minutes to the square. It was a busy week so there was some street noise late but overall fine. As others mentioned, some of the things don’t work at the house like the fans on the porch and the doors were difficult to open. The kitchen had a mishmash of utensils and cookware some in better shape than others but we made it work. There are 2 bedrooms, a loft with a yankee staircase that overlooks the great room and a bed in the kitchen. It was fine for our purposes but maybe a challenge if you are expecting privacy for the loft and kitchen beds. I think some curtains in these spaces would be a good addition. Appliances all worked. Master bathroom was without a shower. There was an outdoor shower just off the bathroom but Iwouldn’t do a full shower out there as it’s pretty exposed All in all a great week. The place is comfortable and funky.

My daughter and her friends had a wonderful time in this Airbnb. There were some small hiccups from Airbnb with booking and with host in the end but things were handled well in the end. I’m a solutions person and it would seem they are, too. Im grateful for that.
