The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach

4/10 Poor

"very outdated, and dirty. Non of the towels felt clean as there was always some staining, the sheets had a smell and so did the room. Wouldn’t stay again and wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Only good thing was the beach access and the beautiful beach"

Beal House Fort Walton Beach, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

6/10 Okay

"Loction was great, , are room was out side of the elevator area and it was very loud. We called the desk to see about chaging rooms. They moved us to other end of floor in front of the other elevator . All night we heard that sound. At check out we informed them of the issue. The manager did apologize but we did not get much sleep. Also websites says parking 15 dollars was really abot 19 dollars. .it was a nice location and a great view if you can over look the loud noise."

Hampton Inn Ft. Walton Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The Hampton Inn was a perfect retreat for my kids and I and only steps from the beach. It is not the fanciest place around, but it was clean, had a great breakfast and the perfect place for us for a quick trip to the beach! We could walk to restaurants and the beach was just right there! We would certainly come back on our next trip down south!"

Pelican Isle by Southern Vacation Rentals

8/10 Good

"Clean, great view, all was great but was listed as 2 bedroom 2 bath but was only 1 bedroom 2 bath, had a very uncomfortable sleeper sofa that we couldn’t sleep on, so bought an air mattress. Not sure who was a fault but we paid the price. Other than that all was ok."

Holiday Inn Resort Fort Walton Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We had the absolute best experience at the Holiday Inn Resort! Everything was so convenient and well maintained. The lazy river was amazing and the access to the beach was incredible! They have a DJ at the tiki bar and entertainment throughout the week. We chose to buy the breakfast coupons as part of our visit. The breakfast people were awesome and as a person with food allergies I felt super safe eating at the buffet! Will absolutely be back soon!"

Waterscape by Southern Vacation Rentals

8/10 Good

"Our kids (ages 9,6,4) had an absolute blast. They loved the pool area, the lazy river, and the multiple hot tubs. There were several pool options for all ages. The Beach was just a couple of minutes walking distance from the pool, making for easy access between the two."
