Started out rocky with check in with issues beyond their control. Manager/owner was quick to help resolve the issue. Outside of that the stay and staff are amazing. Rooms are very clean and well maintained. So much to do at the resort. Already planning the next trip back this year.

Love it!
A great place to stay right on the water, in the heart of Fort Walton Beach. Close to shops, dining, the Gulf, Pier and Boardwalk. Service was excellent and I can’t wait to stay again.

Great place to stay
My friend and I went to Fort Walton beach and Destin for a few days. We loved our stay. Everyone was very helpful and accommodating. The hotel was close to everything. Plenty of restaurants with live music walking distance. We felt save walking late at night. I would go back.

Great Little Place w Big Character
I have stayed here multiple times over the last 10 years. The property is under new management with lots of new improvements. Staff is always welcoming and professional. Rooms are inviting and the entire property has that "old Florida" feel to it which is hard to find in a world of high rises and hotel chains.
