Retro | Arcade Home, Pets, Grill, & Beach!

Summary:
Retro Town is a rare find in the heart of Fort Walton Beach that'll take you back! Enjoy four smart TVs, three arcade games to include street fighter, NBA Jam, Pac-Man, Street Fighter and more. There’s also a fully furnished kitchen, board games, a cozy living room, propane grill, with a nice outdoor setting with decorative lights for when you return home from the beach. This STR is riddled with old school accents and creative colors that'll make your stay a memorable one. We hope to host you soon!

The Space:
Retro Town is a cozy 1,320 square foot townhome with 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and 1 half bath. All 3 bedrooms and the full bathroom are located upstairs and the half bathroom downstairs. Retro Town has been completed renovated with new vinyl flooring is located throughout the house, new bathrooms, new doors, new windows, new paint, and brand new kitchen! The kitchen is equipped with all new GE Appliances and everything you would need to cook up a fantastic meal. The backyard is fully fenced for your furry friends and privacy. I put a lot of love into this house and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

Guest Access:
You’ll receive a personalized digital code at check-in to access the home. Check-in time is 4 PM, and if early check-in is approved, you’ll be able to arrive as early as 1 PM. The STR has a Yale lock with a keypad. To enter, just use the code. When you leave, press the lock icon to secure the door.

The Neighborhood:
The immediate area is very safe with a strong military community from both the Army and Air Force (active & retired). My neighbors and I share a mutual respect for one another. There's plenty of lighting near the front door with Ring cameras in the front and backyard entrances/exits for your added security and reassurance.

Getting Around:
Getting around Fort Walton Beach is relatively easy, though public transportation options are somewhat limited. For the most convenience and flexibility, driving is the best way to explore the area. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are readily available and offer a reliable way to reach nearby destinations such as Downtown Fort Walton Beach, Okaloosa Island, and the surrounding attractions. Biking is also an option for shorter trips, and many roads in the area are bike-friendly. If you're planning to explore beyond the city or travel on your own schedule, a personal vehicle or rental car is highly recommended.

Other Things to Note:
(Parking)
The 1-lane driveway can accommodate two average-sized sedans. One additional car can be parked to the immediate left of the driveway in the dirt, if needed. No parking on the road please.
We’re happy to welcome your furry companions—all breeds, shapes, and sizes are accepted, with a maximum of 4 pets per reservation. Our standard one-time pet fee is:

Really fun place to stay

The house was really cute and decorated with a fun retro theme. We had all the amenities of home on vacation. The place was clean and neighborhood was quite. We really enjoyed our stay and loved having our dog with us. Also having all the fans was a nice touch. It was air-conditioned but we love sleeping with fans on. Honestly we have no complaints about anything. It was a nice trip!
