Inlet Beach Vacation Rentals

Find old-Florida vibes in Inlet Beach

Inlet Beach is a true beach lover’s paradise. With the area’s largest regional beach access, a beach chair, sunscreen, and a good book are all you really need to mix up the perfect recipe for relaxation.

The actual boundaries of this tiny little beach village are barely noticeable when traveling through Florida’s Panhandle along U.S. Highway 98. However, Inlet Beach is one of the hidden gems of South Walton County, Florida. With its sandy white beaches, state park listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and magnificent Gulf views, it is easy to see why many visitors choose the idyllic little community to spend their vacation. It is located between Rosemary Beach and Carillon Beach (both spectacular communities in their own right) and though Inlet Beach is not often considered a prime area for nightlife and entertainment, it is a superb option for those who seek rest.

When staying in one of our Inlet Beach vacation rentals instead of a traditional hotel, you’ll have much more space and privacy, plus cost savings when booking a property for a large group. Some of our Inlet Beach rentals even come with special amenities like a backyard pool, washer/dryer units, and bicycles. Whether you’re looking for a beach condo with amazing views, or a larger home for space for the entire family, you can find it on our site.

Climate

Expect sunshine everyday in Inlet Beach - it’s Florida of course! It’s a comfortable 80 degrees most every day, with only a passing daily shower ruining your fun. Bring your best sunglasses and sunscreen and enjoy what makes Inlet Beach so special, the weather! 

Top activities and attractions in Inlet Beach

Old-meets-new here, as cozy cottages elicit an Old Florida feel, while modern accommodations, new restaurants and high-end shopping bring a new energy to this carefree beach neighborhood. You might spend the day exploring local boutiques and specialty shops at 30Avenue, an open-air lifestyle center with wide open greenspace for events, before settling down for a bite to eat. 

With so much to do, it’s no wonder Inlet Beach, which shares a border with Camp Helen State Park, is one of the fastest growing beach neighborhoods in South Walton. No matter where you start your exploration, cool, casual and comfortable are the cornerstones of this easternmost South Walton neighborhood.

Once known as “Soldiers Beach” (named after World War II vets who purchased land in this area through a government homestead program), the dunes often soar to massive heights here, and the extra long neighborhood walkovers allow for some pretty spectacular photography.

On the beach, take a stroll toward the old pier at Camp Helen State Park and dip your toes in the warm waters of Lake Powell, the largest coastal dune lake in all of Florida. If you’re really lucky, you might happen to arrive on a day when the lake has burst out into the Gulf of Mexico — mixing water the color of iced tea with the bright blue hues of the Gulf. Grab a YOLO board or kayak and enjoy all of Lake Powell’s beauty, first hand.

Restaurants and Bars
Stopping into one of the top Inlet Beach restaurants is always a great idea. Start at Shades, a laid-back pub with all types of fare from fresh seafood to jambalaya! At amici 30A Italian Kitchen you can slurp down your favorite pastas and red sauce dishes. Cuvee 30A has amazing burgers and you should absolutely begin your day at Big Bad Breakfast!
