Top Okaloosa Island Hotel Reviews

Wavecrest Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"To stay here was beyond incredible. The only thing I’d say is that was kind of annoying was the elevators they took forever to get to our floor most of the time, but it was perfect. we will definitely be staying here again. Next time we come."

Sundrift Inn

10/10 Excellent

"First off the welcome I received when I first got there. The ladies at the front desk were very helpful and so kind. It was our Anniversary weekend and they upgraded us to an ocean view. The room was very clean and the beds wow so comfortable. Everytime we walked into our room it smelled good and looked good. Easy access to beach. I really can't say enough. We will definitely stay here again."

The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The resort is beautifully maintained and lots of options for hanging out and relaxing. We were not impressed with the restaurant Sea and Oats food was just okay nothing to brag about, but they did try making up for it by comping one of the dishes. That being said I would still come back really enjoyed it and very relaxing!"

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."
