Beal House Fort Walton Beach
Hotel: The hotel is recently renovated and looks nice. The elevators were old, hot and slow.
Room: The room was clean and well maintained. You can easily hear people in the hallways.
Pool/Beach: Both were nice. Beach chairs are available for rent through a third party company.
Parking: You pay separately for parking via a QR code provided in the parking lot and at check in.
Check-in: The check-in process was my only real complaint during my stay. I arrived just after 3pm (check-in time is 3) and walked into chaos. There were guests standing all around with three frantic workers behind the counter. While the employees were very kind, it was a mess. They were using radios to communicate with housekeeping to confirm if rooms were cleaned or not. My room number was said several times to me and then I was asked if I was traveling solo immediately after. I'm not sure I have ever had a hotel do this before and as a solo traveler, it does make me somewhat uncomfortable.
Overall did enjoy my stay here and would probably return.

Nice, clean hotel
Hotel is on the beach, but not all rooms are gulf front. You can rent chairs and an umbrella on the beach from a third party for approximately $55/day, or there is plenty of room on the beach to set up your own equipment. Shibumis are allowed. Our room was clean and we slept well. Front desk and housekeeping staff were helpful and friendly. The area has plenty of dining options within walking distance. Parking for guests at the hotel is $15/day.

Gem in Fort Walton
So glad we chose to stay at The Beal House in Fort Walton. We got in early, had lunch and a few cocktails to start our vaca at The Remedy. We both got the fresh catch sandwich - Grouper - it was cooked PERFECTLY! We sat at the bar, thinking we would have quick service but the bartender seemed to be a little out of sorts - gave me the wrong drink and didn’t seem to have a good process in swing. Luckily the fish and even the fries made up for it ! We got an early check in and headed out to the pool. Overall an awesome gem of a hotel. Everything is updated, beautiful lobby, pool area very clean and walkout to the beach is ideal. They even have some “ lost and found” beach chairs, rafts and floaters for guests to use. We will definitely be back for short term stays.

Beach Bar, Music and New Friends
Estelle at Remedy was the highlight of our trip! Met new friends at the bar and Estelle took care of us and kept us laughing all night. Food and drinks were all on point! We will definitely be back to the Beal House and hope our next stay is as memorable as this one!
