Waterscape by Southern Vacation Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing family vacation at Waterscape! The resort was clean, beautiful, and extremely family-friendly. We absolutely loved the pools, lazy river, and easy beach access. The location was perfect, and having so much to do right at the resort made our trip relaxing and fun. We made some great family memories here and would definitely stay at Waterscape again. Highly recommend it for families visiting Fort Walton Beach!"

Sundrift Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We recently stayed at the Sundrift Inn and overall had a very good experience, especially for the price. The biggest highlight was the staff. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and helpful from check-in to check-out, which made us feel right at home. The room was very clean, and housekeeping did a great job. Cleanliness is one of the most important things I look for in a hotel, and they definitely met my expectations. We also loved the hotel’s private walkout to the beach, which made getting to the water quick, easy, and convenient. The rooms could use some updating. The carpet was clean but looked worn and run down, making the room feel dated. The windows could also use a good cleaning. We also noticed the bathroom exhaust fan made a constant clicking noise, but only when it was turned off. It wasn’t a major issue, but it was noticeable. The beds were the biggest downside. They were quite firm, and we could feel the mattress springs through the bed, making them less comfortable than we had hoped. Overall, we felt the Sundrift Inn offered great value for the money. The excellent staff, clean room, and easy beach access outweighed the minor issues. With a few updates and new mattresses, this would easily be an even better place to stay. We’d definitely consider staying here again."

Pelican Isle by Southern Vacation Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"Seamless entry/exit & all door codes + wifi password communicated prior to arrival. Very clean & great beachfront view. Easy access to beach chairs & umbrella. My only knock is the bed was hard but other than that it was a wonderful stay & I'd come again."
