    Beautiful hotel

    The hotel itself was good. The restaurant was out of almost everything the duration of our stay which was frustrating. Sean checked us in and he was fantastic. The hotel is right on the beach which is what we wanted. Lovely heated pool as well.

    Excellent, Smaller Beachfront Hotel

    Located in the heart of Okaloosa Island, with the same beaches as nearby Destin but a much quieter, more pedestrian-friendly environment. This Hilton-branded hotel was formerly a pastel Best Western with a popular small bar, the Swizzle Stick. That bar is now The Remedy, a combo restaurant bar. Breakfast (extra cost) was excellent except for the hash browns. The hotel has been nicely redone with a light and nostalgic beachfront feel, with lots of old photos (none of which are the local area, as I grew up on Okaloosa Island). The room was spotless as were the common areas. The keyless checkin is a great irritation-saver which allows you go to straight to your preselected room (with the Hilton app). Some of the rooms are directly gulf-front and some have eastern or western views but no gulf views to speak of. If a view is important to you, choose the gulf-front rooms. The staff in the restaurant were very friendly; the front desk staff were not as outgoing: no smiles or unsolicited greetings, but they were friendlier on the app. I consider this a better choice than some of the newer “box” hotels on the island which do not have balconies or exterior entrances; they might as well be at an interstate exchange. I spent a 2-night getaway here, I live about an hour away and it was nice to spend a couple winter days at the beach. I plan to make staying here a regular thing. The only negative is that I didn’t receive the food and beverage credit I had preselected when I made my reservation. A recommended, small-scale hotel on quiet(er) Okaloosa Island, with several restaurants and bars within easy walking distance.

    Excellent

    Excellent location and amenities. Food and drinks were delicious. Clean place. Great friendly staff. Couldn’t ask for a better stay. Loved the beach and pool access. Convenient location close to stores. Plenty of parking. Felt safe when walking around alone. Comfortable beds. Would stay here again!

    Great family holiday getaway

    The Beal House was the perfect location for a family holiday getaway. It was close enough to the action of the city but private enough to feel Iike you were getting away. The staff and the property were great, and the private beach access was amazing. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to head to the beach.
