Freeport Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals
Freeport
is located in Walton County, east of Pensacola near Chocktawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Walton County boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, including sixteen certified Blue Wave Beaches. The county incorporates over 1,000 square miles and more than 40,000 people, and includes three municipalities, Freeport, DeFuniak Springs and Paxton. The area is filled with natural beauty – 26 miles of white sand beaches, Choctawhatchee Bay, many rivers and lakes and vast areas of timberlands. Walton County’s diverse ecosystem is quite unique – the Coastal Dune Lakes that dot the coastline are so rare they are only found in Walton County and remote portions of Africa. Freeport is known for its superb fishing and waters that produce an abundance of seafood and oysters. In the waters near Freeport, you can swim, snorkel, dive, sail, surf, jet ski and go canoeing and kayaking. Hiking, biking, golf and horseback riding are also available. The nearby town of DeFuniak Springs is host to the Chautauqua Festival each year, a lively event with canoe races, fireworks, games and more. The community of Crestview holds an annual Spanish Trail Festival on the last weekend of April, which celebrates the area’s rich heritage. This region of Florida’s northwest Panhandle has consistently been voted a “Top Family Destination,” by Southern Living Magazine.

Freeport Weather & Climate
The Northwest Florida Panhandle , in the region known as the "Emerald Coast," enjoys warm temperatures year round. The state of Florida, as a whole, is among the wettest states in the U.S., receiving at least 50 inches of rain annually, and the Panhandle region has the most rain of anyplace in the state. However, many of these showers and thunderstorms pass quickly and the sunshine prevails. Tropical winds from the south, along with the Gulf and abundant rain, create hot, humid conditions May through September. The rest of the year is much more comfortable, with mild days and cool nights, less humidity and less rain. Hurricane season officially lasts August through October, but most of these storms blow into the Atlantic and miss Florida entirely. In the case when one does reach shore, ample warning time is generally given for these storms.
