Top Okaloosa Island Hotel Reviews

Beal House Fort Walton Beach, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot right on the beach with wonderful rooms"

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."
