If you've been searching for a Gulf-front condo on Okaloosa Island that feels peaceful instead of crowded -- and still allows short-term rentals -- Unit 602 at The Palms deserves a closer look.One of the things that makes this property stand out right away is the building itself. The Palms is a boutique Gulf-front condominium with only 23 residences, something that is becoming increasingly rare along this stretch of coastline. The smaller scale creates a quieter, more relaxed beachfront experience where the focus stays exactly where it should be -- on the water. The view immediately takes center stage. Wide glass doors open the living space toward the Gulf, framing unobstructed views of emerald water and sky. From the living room and private balcony, it almost feels like you are sitting on your own stretch of coastline. The primary bedroom enjoys the same sweeping Gulf views, looking west across the water where sunsets over the Gulf become part of the daily rhythm of life here. The interior has been extensively updated, creating the light coastal feel buyers love. Improvements include a new HVAC system, new water heater, updated cabinetry, quartz countertops, new appliances, new flooring, and new windows and doors. The primary bath has also been refreshed with a new tub and shower, completing a space that feels clean, modern, and ready to enjoy. The unit is offered fully furnished, making it easy for the next owner to step right into island living. For those thinking about investment potential, short-term rentals are permitted, giving owners the flexibility to enjoy the property personally while also generating rental income. The building itself has already completed several significant improvements including new windows, doors, balcony upgrades, and a new roof, with those capital projects already completed and paid. Located directly on the sugar-white sands of the Emerald Coast, The Palms offers convenient access to both Destin and Fort Walton Beach for dining, boating, and entertainment while still maintaining the laid-back pace that makes Okaloosa Island such a special place to own along the Gulf. Whether you're searching for a Gulf-front second home, vacation getaway, or beachfront investment property, Unit 602 offers the views, updates, and setting buyers hope to find when they start looking along the Emerald Coast.
