The Neighborhood:
Location, location, location. Maple House is located in a very safe, family-friendly neighborhood with 15 public schools in the city. The city of Fort Walton Beach has a strong military community with more than 6 military bases, camps and airfields in the immediate area. Six plus beaches. All of your favorite restaurants, is right down the street. Jet Drive Park is 100 meters away from the front door and includes a playground, open field, pickle ball and basketball courts.

- 6min drive (2 mi) to sugar-white sand & downtown Fort Walton Beach
- 6min drive to Eglin AFB & Hurlburt Field — ideal for visiting military families

Getting Around:
Public transportation is unavailable in the area. I would suggest renting a vehicle from the airport or searching on Turo, a short-term rental vehicle leasing platform. If you do not have a vehicle, Uber and Lyft will be your best option.
