Four Points by Sheraton Destin-Fort Walton Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I had stayed at this property before but didn't realize it when booking. I was not disappointed. The hotel was clean and well maintained and the staff was amazing! They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The beach location is perfect and the property is nice and relaxing. The on-site restaurant facing the beach is super convenient with great food and service. I would absolutely stay here again. This is an older property but it is well maintained and clean."

8/10 Good

"This property had an excellent ocean view from the balcony. It was an interior condo and did not have any other exterior windows.In addition, the bed had not been changed from the previous stay since we had sand in the sheets on the first night.The living room and master bathroom were dim due to a couple of lights that were out that needed to be replaced.Overall, I would stay at this place again if the price point made sense."

Sunny Corner Condo, Ground Level, Direct Lazy River Access, Free Beach Service!

8/10 Good

"Really nice condo. However, the TV in the area where the bunk beds are did not work. The television in the master bedroom did not show a good picture. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay."

Destin West Pelican 505 ~ Amazing Views of the Lazy River

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the best vacations I have ever taken. All my children 8,8, 14 and 15 were happy. Plenty to do and with in walking distance. Gas station next door, Publix 1 mile away. The pools are amazing. Bay was nice, even had a tiny beach area. Wish I brought fishing rods. Beach was right across the road but we used the bridge and walked over the road . The unit was better then expected, everything needed was there. Washer and Dryer was so nice. I was able to wash out beach towels. If your thinking of staying DO IT."
