Top Destin-Fort Walton Beach Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Wavecrest Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I loved my stay here. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was great-lots of counter space, which I needed, and the shower was huge. I didn’t have a view (except for the road and the condos next door), but I didn’t need one. The beach was right there and I spent a LOT of time on it. The staff were friendly and helpful. The walk to the beach is less than a minute and the pool was nice and clean, and it wasn’t crowded. I am not a morning person, but I dragged my butt out of bed and went downstairs for the breakfast, and it was worth it every morning. They had a great spread. It was quiet, as it is more of the off-season. The only drawback I had was there was no WiFi for the first three days I was there. No Wi-Fi meant no tv, as it was digital cable. For me, it was not really a big deal. They had, quite literally, just gone through a hurricane, and in no way can I blame them for it not working. Overall, I was extremely impressed. For the price point, it was way above my expectations. I was there for a wedding and my sister stayed somewhere that was twice as much, and nowhere near as nice. I am looking forward to traveling again down there in the spring and will definitely look into staying here again. 10/10 would recommend."

"Beach side of the complex is the best, we had great view of the pool with its huge private patio, ocean could be seen through beautiful palm trees, the host provided all the beach supplies needed for those flying in with no vehicle access,these included buckets shovels, umbrellas, a big wagon to pull everything. The beach is very accessible from the ocean side. MS.Bonnie is a wonderful host who makes her guest feel very welcome, thank you Bonnie we will be contacting you for future visits."

10/10 Excellent

"The condo was exactly as described and pictured. We would definitely recommend the unit and/or working with Kris. We encountered an issue with the air conditioning and Kris was extremely responsive. She had a tech there within minutes. When the issue needed a part that was not available until morning, Kris arranged for us to spend the night in another unit so that we weren’t uncomfortable. The air conditioning was fixed he next morning and we were able to continue our vacation without missing a beat."
