About
Sleep Inn & Suites Fort Walton Beach – Destin West opened in 2024 at 13 Miracle Strip Parkway SW, just west of the mainland end of the Brooks Bridge. That puts the sugar-sand beaches of Okaloosa Island less than two miles away, along with the Okaloosa Island Fishing Pier and the Gulfarium. Downtown Fort Walton Beach, Landing Park and the Indian Temple Mound Museum are a short walk or drive.
HotelPlanner lists 91 rooms on four floors, a mix of queen rooms and king suites in the brand’s clean, modern style. The property is FEMA approved for government travelers, which makes it an option for official travel as well as vacations. Rooms have the brand’s modern finishes, and accessible rooms are available.
A free hot breakfast is served daily. There is an outdoor pool, a fitness center and free Wi-Fi, and parking is free, including accessible spaces. The hotel is pet friendly, allowing up to three pets for a nightly fee plus a refundable deposit, a more generous policy than many nearby hotels.
The Sleep Inn suits families, couples and traveling pet owners who want newer rooms close to both the island and downtown. The front desk is staffed 24 hours, check-in is at 4 pm and check-out is at 11 am. Downtown restaurants and the waterfront at Landing Park are close enough for an evening stroll.
