Top Okaloosa Island Hotel Reviews

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."

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."

Cozy beachfront condo with private balcony, shared pool and beach access!

8/10 Good

"Everything was as described in the listing. The king bed wasn't comfortable, a pad was put on top of the indention to make it look better and give it a better feel. The mattress needs to be replaced. The furniture in the living room needs to be cleaned due to the stains. But overall we had a nice stay for four nights. Beach was great and the room was right in front of the Gulf."
