Watching both sunrise and sunset from the same hotel room isn't something you get to do often. But our oceanfront suite at the Fairfield Inn Fort Walton Beach made it possible, and those views alone made the stay worth it.
This Marriott property on Okaloosa Island has direct access to the white sand beaches of Florida's Emerald Coast. We wanted a place where we could walk the beach whenever we felt like it, and the Fairfield Inn delivered, the Gulf is steps from your room.
