A family member just moved to Fort Walton Beach, FL. As a result, my spouse is pushing for us to change our normal Florida beach vacation to Fort Walton Beach this summer. The only SPG property in the area is the 4 Pt. Sheraton at Fort Walton Beach.

If anyone has been to this property, I'd very much appreciate answers to a few questions:

1. Is this a "nice" hotel or one to be avoided? Is it worth 3-4,000 points/night?
2. What is there to do for a family on the adjacent beach? For example, can you boogie board, collect shells, snorkel, etc?

Thanks for any information!

This option would require significantly fewer points than our normal Florida option. But, I'm actually nervous because of the low point requirement. We would get 2 rooms and stay for a week.
