![]() ![]() Most of the adults looked like they just got out of prison and were addicted to drugs. These weren't college kids, these were adults with kids. There was so much noise and partying going on into the wee hours every night in the surrounding high rise balconies and on the beach. The problem was all the other high rise condos surrounding me AND the people Okaloosa Island attracts. The condo I was staying in was a 9 unit private building. I usually stay on Navaare beach but wanted a different beach this year. Overall, we really like Okaloosa Island and we recommend it if you are planning a trip to the Florida panhandle. The point is buy your groceries and adult beverages in Fort Walton Beach, Destin, or Mary Esther. The island has one convenience store and one over priced liquor store. There is a grocery store just across the bridge in Fort Walton Beach, and it is a short drive to big box stores. Note that there are no grocery stores on the island. Instead, take a walk on this beautiful beach. We recommend avoiding the tourist trap Boardwalk and Okaloosa Island Pier. ![]() We visit Destin to eat in restaurants, but when we return to Okaloosa after visiting Destin we breathe a sigh of relief. But it is still not congested like Destin. The island has become more densely populated with hotels over the years. Over the years we have rented condos in a few of the condo building here. We like staying on Okaloosa Island because it is less congested than Destin, and frankly, we are not fond of the Alabama Gulf coast. When we visit the Florida panhandle, we enjoy staying on Okaloosa Island. We have stayed on Okaloosa Island many times over the years, but oddly, I have not written a review until now.
