Top Okaloosa Island Hotel Reviews

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."

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."
