Fort Walton Beach, Florida, combines military history with stunning Emerald Coast beaches, creating a unique destination that appeals to both beach lovers and history enthusiasts. Located on Santa Rosa Island, this Gulf Coast city offers visitors sugar-white sand beaches, clear emerald waters, and rich Native American and military heritage. The presence of Eglin Air Force Base, combined with excellent beach access, fishing opportunities, and family attractions, creates consistent demand for accommodations from military families, beach vacationers, and cultural tourists throughout the year.
Fort Walton Beach follows typical Florida Gulf Coast seasonality with peak demand from March through September, driven by spring break, summer vacations, and warm weather tourism. The military presence at Eglin AFB provides more year-round stability than purely tourist-dependent markets. Winter months see reduced leisure demand but maintain some occupancy from military families and regional visitors. Peak season rates can be 2-3 times winter rates, with spring break and summer holidays representing the highest premium periods.
Similar to Destin, STRs in Fort Walton Beach must comply with county and state licensing and regulation frameworks, including the Vacation Rental Dwelling License and potentially local business tax receipt requirements.
