Stunning ocean views of sparkling emerald waters from pristine sugar-white sand beaches await vacationers at the Cottages at Water’s Edge, a fabulous tropical resort setting community in Northwest Florida. Featuring access to the beach, a huge oceanside pool, an exercise room and more, ResortQuest has accommodations in the Cottages at Water’s Edge that provide both tranquility and convenience as they are located just minutes from Destin and Fort Walton Beach restaurants, outdoor malls and shopping and amusement and water park attractions.

Nearby Okaloosa Island features an island-style boardwalk with renowned restaurants and live entertainment and offers a variety of family attractions and nightlife as well — and its location surrounded by the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the Choctawhatchee Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway means that deep-sea fishing and boating charters are plentiful.

Pristine sand dunes, aqua blue waters, dolphin shows at the Gulfarium and live concerts are just a part of what makes the area a great destination for an activity-filled retreat. With water everywhere you turn, visitors have endless options of sunbathing beachside or poolside, swimming in the Gulf, and taking part in water sports such as sailing, kayaking or snorkeling.
