The resort of Water's Edge is located on the part of Fort Walton Beach known as Okaloosa Island. Originally part of Santa Rosa Island, it was incorporated into the city in 1950, at that time, there were only summer homes and an amusement park. The island underwent redevelopment in 1955 with a new hotel and casino, and condos began to spring up all around it. Waters Edge is one of the most recently built resorts on the island, developed in 2006.
Waters Edge directly faces the Gulf and has two beautiful beachfront pools, a fitness center, grills and picnic areas, covered parking, and a game room. A medium-rise building, it offers six floors of direct oceanfront rooms with private balconies and an elevator. Condos come in one, two, and three-bedroom floor plans. Three-bedroom units can have two or three-bathroom options. Most have all the upgrades from tile or parquet flooring to granite countertops and Jacuzzi baths. Condos here have proven to produce a nice rental income if you are interested in that.
