The Space:
Boat House is a spacious 1,991 square foot home on a .31 acre fenced in lot. The home was built using the open floor plan concept connecting the kitchen and living and dining rooms. The bedrooms include 1 king, 2 queen, and a two-twin trundle bed. The split floor plan optimizes privacy with a standard, two car garage. There's a screened in patio area in the backyard to enjoy your coffee in the morning or grill out in the evenings. The master bathroom includes a jacuzzi-style tub with separate shower, while the guest bathroom has a shower and tub combination.
Guest Access:
Ronin Stays uses SuiteOp for guest access. Before arrival, guests will receive a link through their booking channel and/or email to complete a quick pre-check-in. Through that same link, you’ll find everything you need for your stay — including check-in instructions, Wi-Fi details, local recommendations, and more. Once check-in begins, the SuiteOp app provides instant access to the property within seconds. In the rare event of any issues, a backup lockbox with a physical key is available on-site.
The Neighborhood:
Great location. Elliotts Point is a much desired place to live and holidays like Halloween and Christmas are amazing here. Very safe, family-friendly neighborhood with 15 public schools in the city. The city of Fort Walton Beach has a strong military community with more than 6 military bases, camps and airfields in the immediate area. All of your favorite restaurants, is right down the street. Jet Drive Park is 100 meters away from the front door and includes a playground, open field, pickle ball and basketball courts.
Getting Around:
Getting around Fort Walton Beach is relatively easy, though public transportation options are somewhat limited. For the most convenience and flexibility, driving is the best way to explore the area. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are readily available and offer a reliable way to reach nearby destinations such as Downtown Fort Walton Beach, Okaloosa Island, and the surrounding attractions. Biking is also an option for shorter trips, and many roads in the area are bike-friendly. If you're planning to explore beyond the city or travel on your own schedule, a personal vehicle or rental car is highly recommended.

To avoid any delays, please ensure these requirements are taken care of in advance.
