Santa Rosa Island hotel rooms a the Independent

"Loved the beach house and the views. The beach location was perfect. The grotto pool was so awesome, but a little too cold to enjoy from all the rain. Will for sure be back!"

"Having a view of the Gulf of America with a balcony was amazing "

"This was our first time staying at this property and we had a great time it's been 10 years since we've been to fort Walton Beach and everything is still the same the front desk guys were awesome and the checkout girl Morgan was great everything is within walking distance and a 5-minute ride up the road if you want to go to Destin I highly recommend this place"

"Locations perfect, restaurants close"

"This was our 10th year Wedding Anniversary trip and honestly it was the most relaxing time I’ve ever had at the beach. We even saw 3 double Rainbows. Truly an amazing time. The staff was helpful the beach was clean and not over crowded. Lots of amenities close by, a sheriffs station just down the road for your safety. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Would certainly visit again!!!"

"Staff was friendly, we have stayed here twice now. Love the bar on premises. The pool has plenty of space. Love the lazy river! Breakfast was good and had plenty of options. "

"Loved our stay. The kids had a blast in the lazy river. Will be staying here again for sure. "

"It was AWESOME. Every employee was so nice and friendly. Everyone was helpful and always did what they could to meet our request. We were always greeted. House keeping cleaned our room, and restocked towels, trash bags, ect, a whole refresh everyday while we we're gone. We loved being right on the beach. The balcony with the gulf view was great. The pool was great. The breakfast was great. And I loved that it was served all the way until 10 so we didnt have to wake up early! they served cookies throughout the day. It was a really great stay. My favorite trip to Florida so far! They put "happy birthday emmaleigh" on their billboard for me. This place really goes above and beyond. "

"It has fun amenities for the kids, face paint, bubble party"
