The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach

The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach

10/10 Excellent
"The location is excellent, the staff is very friendly. The cleaning crew could be less intrusive, we were walking around and had bedsheets and towels flying from above into the bins, almost hit my wife in the head. Lots of cleaning carts on our way and it feels like they want to kicks us out, even so we were staying for another night. Not a major concern, but something to watch for."
