Top Okaloosa Island Hotel Reviews

Wavecrest Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"w We really enjoyed our stay The staff was friendly.The beach access was incredible. The pool was perfect for small children. Breakfast was typical hotel breakfast."

Holiday Inn Resort Fort Walton Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel! It was so great to be right on the beach and made beach days so much easier. The tiki bar area by the pool was a great perk, as was the access to the pool at the hotel next door. The room was a pretty standard hotel room, nothing special but was clean and enough space for our family of four. I highly recommend upgrading to the ocean view room. Watching the sunsets off our balcony was amazing! The only thing that would have been nice to have was having breakfast included. We didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel, mainly because the $18.95 per person cost seemed overpriced, especially for kids."

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."
