Tropical Isle 103. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $102 ... $205 per night. 1 bedrooms. 5 Max Occupancy.
Great vacation spot ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Up on first entering the condo we noticed it was very clean. We enjoyed every minute! Perfect for a relaxing vacation. If you needed something quick like ice or a Coke it was a very short walk to the convenience store next door. In the condo is a small closet equipped with boogie boards, and sand toys if you forgot those items. The rental comes with 2 chairs and an umbrella from about 8am until about 6 pm (that was so helpful, less to tote to the beach). Walking to the beach was easy even with a cooler, bag, and a child (just across the parking lot). My grandson enjoyed the pool. If you’re looking for tourists adventures Destin is a short drive away, and the stay comes with a complimentary ticket to many events. We did a dolphin tour and it saved us the price of an adult ticket. My only suggestion is bring extra blankets for lounging. After a long day at the beach and a shower we wanted to cuddle up in a soft blanket. Last but definitely not least, Beverly was amazing! Very helpful with anything you need. We had a great stay!!

Pelican Isle 404 by the shore ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Lovely reetreat with my husband celebrating our anniversary. Well maintained condo overlooking the ocean and beach. Very peaceful and restful and clean. We had an issue getting in because we had the wrong door code but they quickly responded. Professional communication from everyone including Al who works at Pelican Isle and our housekeeper Tenesia. Great amenities. Can use a pizza cutter. And perhaps a listing of restaurants or things to do as we don't know how to use Alexa.

Clean condo in a great location! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
408 Island Princess is in a great location on the beach within walking distance of several restaurants. The unit comes with a beach umbrella and 2 beach chairs, which were set up on the beach for us each morning, a $300 value! The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of hangers in the closet. We would definitely stay at this condo again!

Island Princess 217. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $175 ... $435 per night. 3 bedrooms. 7 Max Occupancy.
Feb 2023 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Location was great. Easy access to 2nd floor unit. Covered parking was a bonus. Three bedrooms/baths was a great. We had a few minor issues upon arrival but were handled right away. Plenty of restaurants and stores in the area. February is an iffy month for weather. Rather cool and foggy. Disappointed the pool wasn't open due to balcony repairs. With the weather being cool and the pool being closed it didn't give us much lounging outside time. Beach was gorgeous though and sand was white and soft. It was a relaxing vacation and an 8 hour drive was very, very doable.

Pelican Isle 217. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $131 ... $441 per night. 1 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
217 Pelican Isle ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Unit was very clean and well kept. We had everything we needed. Saw earlier complaints about the bed in this unit prior to reserving, but we had no issues with it. Slept fine. View is beautiful. This unit did not come with complimentary beach service set up, but the owners did provide chairs and an umbrella. Probably more comfortable than the chairs offered by the beach service, honestly. I do wish additional shower/ sand rinse areas coming from the beach were located near the boardwalks as you travel to and from the beach. The one area they have for that is near the center of the complex and the pool area, which is understandable. I’d still stay there again without hesitation.

My family and I were very impressed with the condo we rented June 20th through June 27th. Everything look and was pristine. Wonderful view. Great location. Beautiful beach. Big pool area which my kids loved. Fitness center was a little small but thats okay. That wasn't that important. I made it work. It was all in all a great stay. There were even extra things there like lounge chairs, skid boards, books, and games provided. Thank you for letting us stay there for our vacation.
