Cover your kids eyes n do a full inspection first prior to letting them in room… OR ELSE..
Pros:

The breakfast was great, beach front was very nice. The staff and janitorial staff were always so friendly and welcoming!

Cons:

The beds were so used and worn out you could feel every spring stabbing in your back at night trying to sleep on them. The sign for the property was so small, the smallest on that whole road of properties, you’d miss it if you didn’t go slow. Finding the lobby to check in was highly stressful. Then the luggage carts had a metal bar at the top preventing you from bringing your luggage and private belongings inside quickly and forced to leave what’s on it vulnerable to being stolen while pulling load by load in the room.. the badge system for going above 1rst floor was overrated.. and very overstimulating for my children trying to remember how to get to and from for breakfast. The biggest nightmare of all…upon checking in and entering our suite #202 (7/10/26)the fact that your cleaning staff somehow managed to miss the OBVIOUS huge USED dildo and PACKAGE of USED variety size anal plugs THEY left out IN PLAIN SIGHT belonging to the previous people that stayed in the suite and unfortunately resulted in my INNOCENT 8, 11, and 14 year old CHILDREN being exposed and seeing them!! I have never in my life been so disgusted and angry! There’s absolutely no excuse, NO JUSTIFICATION why my kids EASILY and immediately noticed them, yet your cleaning staff did not?? They did not do a Thorough cleaning nor final inspection to ensure this was preventable and our room was guaranteed to be up to standards. NOT EVEN THE BARE MINIMUM..This is supposed to be a vacation.. a safe, sanitized, clean and renewed btw each guest so families can continue to come relax n have peace of mind and enjoy their time off knowing THE CLEANING AND TIDYING IS not something they have to worry about! This was not the case for me at all!!! What was done or offered in exchange to even remotely attempt to make up for this horrendous situation or show apology through actions of good faith due to this disgusting inconvenience, and the robbing of my children’s innocence you may ask??? Nothing!

Great getaway for a couple with tasty food within walking distance.

The location and walking directly to the beach was a huge plus. Great beach experience without breaking the bank. All of the staff were super friendly. This was our first time at Fort Worth Walton. We will return!

Great value, clean, comfortable and not crowded at all.
Pros:

Great location and very nice pool. Very comfortable.

Cons:

Really wish we had a balcony or could at least crack a window to hear the ocean. There was also no where to dry our swimsuits and towel. We definitely missed having a balcony.
