The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach

8/10 Good

"The Island is beautiful with easy access to the beach. It was close to everything you want to go see. I would stay there again."

Holiday Inn Resort Fort Walton Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel! It was so great to be right on the beach and made beach days so much easier. The tiki bar area by the pool was a great perk, as was the access to the pool at the hotel next door. The room was a pretty standard hotel room, nothing special but was clean and enough space for our family of four. I highly recommend upgrading to the ocean view room. Watching the sunsets off our balcony was amazing! The only thing that would have been nice to have was having breakfast included. We didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel, mainly because the $18.95 per person cost seemed overpriced, especially for kids."

Wyndham Garden Fort Walton Beach Destin

8/10 Good

"Well we showed up right after a hurricane so there was some water seeping through the floor I a couple of places. The closet smelled really bad, and the elevator did not work. We were on the 6th floor. So I think these were things they could not help. We had a beautiful view from our balcony. The pools are great."

Residence Inn by Marriott Fort Walton Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very nice and clean. We stayed 4 nights and every morning the free breakfast was different, fresh and good. The ladies that prepared it were extremely friendly. Stephen the maintenance man was always friendly and always stopped to say hello and get to know you. They were not fake, they did care."

Gulf Dunes by Southern Vacation Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"Beach view and amenities were awesome! Room was spectacular! We will be back! Ty for an amazing 10 yr anniversary!!!!"

Island Princess by Southern Vacation Rentals

8/10 Good

"Condo was very nice and had a balcony view of the ocean. My only complaint is there were a few small things that probably needed attention. The outdoor GFCI outlet was non-functional and the kitchen sink and shower head were both pretty loose, these are just nitpicky things though. Over all, the property was great and had a very convenient location. Pool was clean and all door codes worked perfectly, Beach access made the stay very nice as well. We will definitely come back in the future and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice quiet stay right on the beach!"

Sea Oats by Southern Vacation Rentals
