Destin, United States, October 2, 2026 /PressCable/ -- Emerald Coast By Owner (ECBYO) has announced new direct booking options for Waterscape Resort in Fort Walton Beach, expanding the ways families can plan a Gulf Coast trip. Travelers can now book a wide selection of Waterscape condos straight from property owners and managers instead of relying solely on third-party platforms, giving families a direct path to securing accommodations at one of Okaloosa Island's most recognizable beachfront properties.

Waterscape Resort has built a reputation as a family-friendly beachfront property, drawing visitors with its pool complex and direct beach access. The grounds include a lazy river, a zero-entry pool, and a splash pad, along with tropical landscaping that gives the property a resort feel. Two hot tubs, multiple pool decks, a fitness center, and dune crossovers with freshwater showers round out the amenities that keep guests at any of the location's 339 condos on-site between beach visits.
Families planning a stay have a range of condo sizes to choose from, including studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts available through ECBYO. Many units offer Gulf views, large balconies, and fully equipped kitchens, and several floor plans include bunk areas built for children, so groups of different sizes, from couples to multi-generational families, can find a condo suited to their needs.
ECBYO was founded in 2016 on the principle of transparent pricing for Gulf Coast vacation rentals, connecting guests with owners without the markups common on larger booking platforms. Booking Waterscape Resort rentals directly with owners and managers through the Emerald Coast By Owner platform means no added traveler service fees are applied at checkout.
Direct booking also allows for more personalized service, since guests communicate directly with the owner or manager handling their unit. Proponents of direct booking say this kind of access can give travelers more current information on amenities, check-in details, and property conditions, which can simplify trip planning for families coordinating logistics around kids and beach schedules.
Waterscape Resort sits on Santa Rosa Boulevard on Okaloosa Island, near several area attractions, including the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park, Okaloosa Island Pier, and The Boardwalk. Those interested in browsing the dozens of rental-by-owner listings available on ECYBO should visit the company's website to search their database of over 10,000 Gulf Coast properties.
