Beal House Fort Walton Beach, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel and great location."

Wyndham Garden Fort Walton Beach Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here MANY times, but this last time was perfect. I heard new management took over in '24, and you can absolutely tell. Clean, pretty, comfortable rooms, all amenities open, it's just perfect here every time. Thank you for always being my go-to spot!!"

Hilton Garden Inn Ft. Walton Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had such an amazing stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Fort Walton Beach! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, and having the beach and pool right there made it even better. It was the perfect place to unwind, spend quality time together, and enjoy a much-needed getaway. The hardest part was having to leave! Our trip went by way too fast, but we’re leaving with so many wonderful memories and full hearts. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Fort Walton Beach."

Island Princess by Southern Vacation Rentals

8/10 Good

"Condo was very nice and had a balcony view of the ocean. My only complaint is there were a few small things that probably needed attention. The outdoor GFCI outlet was non-functional and the kitchen sink and shower head were both pretty loose, these are just nitpicky things though. Over all, the property was great and had a very convenient location. Pool was clean and all door codes worked perfectly, Beach access made the stay very nice as well. We will definitely come back in the future and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice quiet stay right on the beach!"
