What else could one ask for?!?!?! Clean, spacious accommodations with direct access to the beach. Full size everything from bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, living room, patio... Being able to park mere feet from the front door is something few others offer, but then having a pool no more than ten steps off the back patio...wow! Blink and you might just miss this hidden gem nestled between much larger hotels. The icing on the cake is the very reasonable price. This will be my “home away from home” whenever I visit Ft. Walton...I just hope someone else doesn’t beat me to it!!!

The beautiful interior was so comfortable and nice to relax in. Having the pool close by was great when the wind picked up on the beach. Providing coffee filters, Kleenex, and more TP would have been nice.We did not appreciate the cameras throughout, especially in bedrooms!!

The overall experience was wonderful. However, there are a few things I noticed. LIMTED NUMBER OF: towels (dish, bath, hand), hangers, blankets, dish washer pods, toilet paper, paper towels. Some of these things would be nice to know to bring next time. CLOSETS: Full of random items like fans and vacuums etc. Did not leave room for our luggage. We love the Island Surf and hope to return.Thank you.
