The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach

The Island Resort was an excellent place to stay. The location was near all of the things that we wanted to visit. Most of the time we traveled to eat outside the resort (not because of the food; but we were traveling around and eat on the go). We did eat a mid afternoon lunch at the resort and it was excellent. The staff was "top-of-the-line" and very friendly and listened to what we had to say or ask. Our room was excellent; it face the gulf and had a beautiful view most each day (rained and cloudy a couple of days). The beach was one of the best that we had ever been on: very soft white sand which we learned was quartz. I would recommend this resort to others.

The gulf view of the room was amazing. The fact that it overlooked the beach bar was nice too because we got to sit and watch people enjoying the music from the DJ right from our balcony. The volume was perfect, not too loud. The property is pretty big and sits right on the beach. We walked on the beach every morning and late at night in the moonlight. It felt like we had miles of beaches to ourselves. The room was a good size, very clean and quite comfortable.

Location and beach access. Beautiful views. Restaurant food was delicious.

The property is great! Beautifully laid out. Loved the amenities and atmosphere! The decorations were beautiful! Loved that it was on the beach, had an adult only grotto, hot tub and multiple pools. The staff was friendly and offered great customer service.

This was our 4th time staying at The Island. We love how kid friendly it is. You don’t have to leave the resort at all if you don’t want to, which is always nice, especially if you have kiddos! The itinerary and daily activities given to you at check-in is always the kids favorite!
