Ocean City, FL

30 Apartments for Rent with Pools

Ocean City, located in the skinny bit of Florida, butts up against the ocean through the Chocktawhatchee Bay. Unfortunately, this little known gem often gets confused with Maryland's Ocean City. This piece of coastal suburbia, overshadowed by big brother, Ft. Walton Beach, is distinctly different than the surrounding area with its location defined by the bay and adjoining bayous. It seems almost like a mini peninsula. Florida's Ocean City hosts a population of 5,594 according to the 2000 U.S. Census. A member of Okaloosa County, Ocean City is a census-designated place, which means that it does not have its own municipal government but the residents and nearby neighbors recognize the place by the name of Ocean City. The pseudo-city is intersected by Florida's highway 85 and 188. See more

Finding apartments with a pool in Ocean City means cooling off from the summer heat, get-togethers, and more exercise. However, there are a few things to consider before signing your next lease.

Ask the property management how long the pool is open each year. Is it seasonal? Does the pool have a heat pump to make it practical to swim beyond summertime? You should also inquire about pool rules, capacity, and if unattended children are permitted. The size of the pool also matters. An oversized apartment complex with a tiny pool could mean crowded summers and frustrations when trying to take a quick dip.

Finding apartments with a pool in Ocean City could also drive up your rent, but may be worth the trade-off. Assess the overall amenities of the property. Apartments with a pool may look fantastic on the outside, but inside the kitchen could need an upgrade or the bedrooms could prove smaller than you want.

Once you find the apartment of your dreams, enjoy an afternoon swim and get to know your new neighbors.
