We booked a last minute trip to Fort Walton Beach (7 days prior to traveling) and really hit the jackpot in Resort Quest's Waters Edge Condos. Online information, photos and promises always leave me wondering, but this place is well beyond even our most optimistic expectations. (I suppose much of the satisfaction is generated by the individual condo - ours is #611, and that other condos here may differ.) Two full bedrooms, one bunkroom (a bedroom without a closet) and two full baths. Full kitchen, new(er) furniture and a GREAT view of the gulf. We've traveled extensively and seen the good and the bad. Water's Edge is not a luxury resort (e.g., Riz), but it is a really, really nice condo complex.
If you're looking for nice accommodations, beautiful sandy beach, and a nice gulf-facing pool, Water's Edge is the place.
Staff recommended great restaurants when we checked in, which makes the trip sooo much more pleasent. Seafood: ~Dewey's Destin Italian: ~LaFamiglia Both are a short drive away in Destin.
