Beachfront Townhome with Instant Access to Beach | Beachside Kisses by AvantStay
Beachside Kisses is a bright, beachfront townhome designed for effortless coastal living and memory-making along Florida’s Emerald Coast. With the Gulf just steps away, this is the kind of place where mornings start with salty air and barefoot walks to the sand, and evenings wind down to sunset skies and the sound of waves.
Inside, the home opens into a comfortable, open-concept living space made for gathering. Plush seating surrounds the fireplace, creating a cozy spot to relax after beach days, while large windows keep the Gulf close at every turn. The fully equipped kitchen features everything you need to cook for a crowd, and the dining table comfortably seats eight—perfect for family meals, game nights, or lingering conversations after dinner.
Step outside to enjoy true beachfront living. Fire up the BBQ for laid-back cookouts, rinse off after the beach, or simply relax knowing the shoreline is right outside your door—no driving, no planning, just instant access to sugar-white sand and emerald water.
Sleeping arrangements are thoughtfully designed for flexibility and comfort. The primary bedroom features a king bed, the second bedroom offers a queen, and the bunk room is a hit with kids and groups alike, with two double lower bunks and two twin upper bunks. A queen sofa bed in the living area adds even more space to spread out.
Located in Fort Walton Beach, you’re close to local restaurants, casual beachfront dining, fishing piers, and family-friendly attractions, while still enjoying a quieter stretch of shoreline than nearby hotspots. It’s the ideal balance of relaxed coastal charm and easy access to everything the Emerald Coast is known for.
With in-home laundry, a full kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and unbeatable beachfront access, Beachside Kisses delivers a stay that’s as easy as it is unforgettable.

Beach Kisses was a clean family unit on the beach. Location is the selling point of this multiplex unit. Plenty of room for our adult children and grandkid. Beach access is easy and close. The only drawbacks to this unit were the weekend public beach traffic.Oakaloosa Island is a favorite of ours and we will consider this property again.
We had an amazing stay at this Destin property! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The communication with the host was absolutely excellent quick responses, clear instructions, and super helpful throughout our entire trip.The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. It made our stay stress-free and enjoyable, which is exactly what you want when you're on vacation. The location was perfect, and everything we needed was easily accessible.We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Destin. Thank you for such a great experience!
