Top Okaloosa Island Beach Hotel Reviews

The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach

8/10 Good

"The staff was very nice especially housekeeping and the front desk. The grotto bar was only open for a few hours during our 4 day stay, the towel hut was closed all day for 2 days. The room and facilities were older but well maintained. Pool areas are very nice."

"The hosts added several "extras" to make our stay even more pleasant and comfortable! They thought of everything We've always liked Water's Edge but had not stayed on first floor. Was very convenient and we thoroughly enjoyed!"

Gulf Side 402🌊Gulf Front🏖️Free Beach Setup🐶Dogs OK

8/10 Good

"Nice condo, it was clean and well kept. We especially appreciate that he dog was aloud. The master bath sink has a slow drain so we just used the other sink which was fine."

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!"

Steps from the Beach with Gulf View Ground Floor

10/10 Excellent

"Almost don't want to spill the beans on how wonderful this place is. We truly enjoy coming out to Fort Walton and every time we have stayed at the villas capri. You can't argue with being steps away from the water or sitting out on the porch and watching the waves roll in while drinking your coffee in the morning. Thanks again to Candy for being an amazing host and letting us use their wonderful condo on the beach for our weekend getaway!"
