Ocean City, FL 16 1 Bedroom Apartments for Rent

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. View Ocean City Guide
