Research Destin Beach and Fort Walton Beach, Florida, condominiums online at Emeraldcoastfl.com or Fivestargulfrentals.com and decide which Gulf-front location you prefer. The locations are close to each other and both contain plenty of condominium properties available for rent or to own. Decide whether you want an exclusive, secluded experience in a gated condominium community, or a property that although luxurious provides more interaction with the public.
Locate a few neighborhoods you are interested in online and then enlist the help of a local real estate or travel agent depending on whether you are looking for a short-term vacation rental, or a permanent vacation property to own.
Ask the agent to show you various properties. Look at the neighborhoods or gated communities and explore the nearby areas, asking questions about how close restaurants, shopping and beaches are to the properties. Choose a property that suits your interests and fits within the amount of money you want to spend.
Ask about amenities. Find out which properties have private pools, hot tubs, balconies, courtyards and patios. Look for full service spas and on-site dining facilities. Many properties have on-site gyms and pools. Find out the policies for each, and ask whether a property has adult-only pools or family pools.
