Sandman Motel

We stayed there every summer for several years and have missed it so much, in fact, have not seen it since it was repaired after a storm hit there. I want badly to return and stay there again. It was nice, clean, and management very accommodating always.

The Sandman Motel...wow, who would have ever thought that when me and some friends back in 1990 were tired of staying in Destin decided to find something nice but affordable in Ft. Walton Beach on Okaloosa Island, we had found a life long place to stay. I was only 21 at the time and I'm 39 now. I went there every year up until about 3 years ago. I thought the hurricanes had taken it. I called the other day and left a message and had a call back from the manager who remembered me from 3 years ago. I miss that place soooo much! It is right on the beach, very centrally located. The pool was always one of my most favorite parts of it all. The rooms were always really clean, and the staff was great. I am going back in a few weeks with some OLD friends to remember some good ole times. Over the years I have met the owner and he is great! Everyone there is... No, it's not the nicest place, but I've been to those...this is more like home...my second home. I highly recommend you try it.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Sandman Hotel last July, 2008. We are looking forward to staying again this weekend. The rooms were very clean, perfect beach location to stay and enjoy an ocean front picturesque atmosphere. Service was wonderful. Clean towels, linens everyday and the staff left us alone to enjoy our wonderful weekend. Excellent pool, clean, fresh towels, beautiful surroundings. I can't wait to return to enjoy more oceanside views.

I visited the Sandman for the first time, last summer, and had a blast. Me and 2 of my friends got a room @ the sandman, and were pleasantly surprised. We had a 1 bedroom suite, which doesn't sound very big, but instead it was like having a apartment, with a kitchen, living room, and a bedroom (which had a door for me to close, to be separate from the rest of the suite). We were on the 1st floor, and could walk to the beach which was right across the parking lot. It wasn't the Ritz, but I personally prefer the personal touch then some kinda corporate stay. The staff was great! and was very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Every time i head to NW Florida, there is no other place that i will ever consider going.

I really like staying The Sandman. It's not fancy, but the rooms had plenty of living space.Our room had a kitchen and a balcony, two double beds and a couch. Five people slept there for a little over $100 a night.It's not directly on the beach but it's just a very short walk. They also have a pool and a washer and dryer available.If you're looking for a five star hotel, this is not your place, but if you want a reasonably priced hotel near the beach, you should check out the sandman.
