Waterscape Condominiums

Traveled with 2 adults and 3 kids aged 12, 9, and 21 months. Stayed in A407 which had a decent chunk of view of the beach between the hotels. Two levels of pools. We arrived Saturday night and headed to the pool. It was overwhelming how many kids and parents were still going strong at 8:30pm at night. Big lazy river that even the 12 year old loved. The lily pads are a hot spot but the lines move super quick. Monday afternoon there was a vendor with spraying tattoos, scavenger hunt, hair braids, etc. Wednesdays have a glow party. Super cute. Originally the horseshoe setup of the beach chairs was off putting but every seat has a view and it isn’t as big as it appears in pictures. We opted to take a shibumi to set up right by the water because of the yellow flag conditions. The signage is confusing to get to the pools and beach. There isn’t an apparent entrance into the pool area but rather weird dingy side doors from the buildings at various points. Many elevators scattered throughout.

A227: Danica was a tremendous host with excellent communication before and during our stay. The first day I messed up and locked myself out of the room and she responded immediately to help get me back in. My wife and I had our 15,9,7,3, and 1 year old on A227 and they all had a blast. The room was just a short walk to the toddler area that the 1 and 3 year old really enjoyed. The 7 and 9 year old loved the pool with the lily pads the best, and the 15 year old loved the beach and hot tubs the most. We had one minor issue with the bathroom fan being abnormally loud and no way to turn off since it is automatic with the humidity. Danica sent a maintenance person the next day and had the noise from the fan decreased and it was so much quieter. The room was very clean! The whole condo was also very kid friendly. We didn’t have to worry too much about the 1 and 3 year old breaking things since everything was pretty kid proof. There were tons of toys for the kids to take to the beach that Danica provides in a big toy box along with extra beach chairs to take to the beach. Waterscape is a very family friendly environment. We enjoyed meeting and talking to other families at the pool and beach. This was our second time staying in A227 and had another wonderful experience.

We stayed in unit A 410 from late Nov 2023 to first week of March 2024. Very nice condo. Two bedrooms with bunk room, kitchen, 2.5 baths, and living room. Nice TV selections and WIFI was very fast in this unit. Unit A 410 was remodeled in early 2023. This was our 14th consecutive year at Waterscape as Snowbirds, thus indicates how much we like Waterscape. The covered parking garage is a great amenity, especially when storms come in and there is wind and hail. Security if 24/7 is good. Easy beach access to why you come to the Gulf Coast. Very nice swimming pools and lazy river. Well maintained and kept clean in all common areas. We booked via Vacasa which operates the front desk and provided us outstanding customer service. Easy if you have any condo issues to contact the front desk if you book via Vacasa, otherwise contact the rental company you booked via. We have booked for next year.

Unit A605 has a great view but is 300 steps from the parking garage. But the main problem is the living room furniture. Not family friendly. Only seats 4 people very uncomfortablely. The couch is very low and saggy. Whe you sit on it you almost sit on the floor.Instead of a love seat or a couple of recliners there is only 1 low chair. Wish the owner would update the furniture.

A322. Nice enough. Basic room. Cable tv. Spring mattress was awful. Limited pillows and blankets. ‘Premium’ beach service is first come first serve. In order to keep ur spot at the beach u have to pay to reserve the seats and have to have a towel on the chair by noon. Walking distance to the beach is a bit of a walk. You’ll get ur steps in. VERY kid oriented place to stay. The kids will love it. ONLY come here if ur bringing the kids. Not really couple friendly. We had a fine time though.

The beach is beautiful. Our condo A412 avoid like the plague. It's completely worn out. Our vacation is ruined because we can't sleep in the valleys in ANY of the beds. Broken ice maker, blood and urine stains on pillow cases and mattress protector. Maybe, there are some nice condo's, but definitely don't rent with Vacasa.

My sister and I stayed in room A507 for three nights in May 2023 and had a great experience. This condo has two bedrooms, both with king beds, a small bunk bed room, and two and a half bathrooms. The living room and bedrooms all opened onto a balcony with two Adirondack-style chairs, a lounger, and a high table with two chairs. The dining room has seating for six. The condo was very clean and came supplied with plenty of towels, paper products, dishes, glasses, cookware, etc. I booked through VRBO. This condo is managed by Vacasa which has a large on-site presence, including a desk on the first floor. We received frequent communications from Vacasa checking in on our stay. Lower number rooms are closer to the ocean and A side rooms face outside. B and C rooms face into the pool area which is the better ocean view. However, I ended up being happier on the outside as the pool area plays music (there's a small bar/restaurant poolside) and can be crowded. I wouldn't recommend a patio room as everyone walking along the pool can look directly into your room, except for families that want the convenience of the level. There are several gas grills and they were well utilized by guests. The beach was a very short walk away. The area is called The Emerald Coast and is renown for it's beaches. The water really is a stunning emerald color and the sand is white and soft. Beach chairs and umbrellas were set up daily and we had no trouble getting one at 9 a.m. Be warned that there are no lifeguards at the beach or pool so plan to use caution and watch your kids. Vacasa texted us the garage gate code and room code before we arrived which meant we could go directly to our room. I recommend the Harborwalk for something fun to do. We also had an enjoyable ride on AJ's dolphin cruise.

The WATERSCAPE RESORT on FT WALTON Beach Florida is AMAZING. Nicest hotel I've EVER stayed in. The place is immaculate. Early every morning, you see their workers busy throughout the pool area cleaning and repairing pools, grills, patio furniture and grounds. The rooms are clean, comfortable and equipped with all the conveniences of home. The elevators are abundant, smooth and clean with minimal wait time. The business transactions have always been smooth and flawless. Check in and out are very simple and convenient. Our family has had a wonderful time at WATERSCAPE on numerous visits. We've stayed in several different rooms. They have all exceeded our expectations The picture is our view from room A514 The room was excellent 👌

Great place for the family! On the beach with great pools for all ages. Price ranges for condos to meet any budget. Restaurants all around and a lot of activities to do when not in or on the water……..
