My family and I had a wonderful stay. Waking up to-the sounds of the beach—I’d move there if I could. The condo was beautiful and was perfect for the four of us. I highly recommend this slice of heaven! Thank you

Islander Beach Resort 3011. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $175 ... $699 per night. 3 bedrooms. 7 Max Occupancy.
Amazing ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
The place was amazing!! Very clean and nicely furnished. The condo is located on the end of the building so no foot traffic from other guest past your door. The view from patio is beautiful with no obstructed view of the beautiful white sand. The thing I like most about the property was its location. It was far enough away from the touristy part of Destin to be quiet and relaxing but only 7-10 minute uber ride to the exciting night life. We never had to wait more than five minutes for an uber.

Thanksgiving Getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Nice, relaxing visit to Fort Walton Beach/Destin. Wonderful unit, clean, nicely appointed, excellent location, ample parking. Cool weather so we didn’t get to enjoy the resort’s pools or lazy river. Would gladly stay here again.

Tropical Isle 103. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $102 ... $205 per night. 1 bedrooms. 5 Max Occupancy.
Excellent stay! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We stayed for 5 days. When we arrived, the unit was clean and smelled so good! It has everything you need for your stay, including kitchenware. The location is not ON the beach but very close! The beach in this area was much less crowded than other beaches. The pool was very nice and clean and there's a hose to rinse the sand off in the pool area. Tom Thumb next door was very convenient for snacks and other little items you may need.

Walking distance to the beach ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
What I liked best is going to the beach. My son and grandson could go fishing and I could walk the beach and seat under the umbrella and read a book. The condo was nice and clean. Kitchen was great to be able to cook if we wanted to.

Beach Time ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
It was a great week of beautiful weather to sit on the beach all day and dine on fresh sea food at the local restaurants in the evening. It was the perfect vacation for us. The condo was very comfortable and the view of the beach and the gulf from the balcony was perfect! Thanks for another great stay at this rental!

Great Place! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We loved our stay here! Everything was VERY clean. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Directions to get in and about the home were well communicated and clear. View was spectacular. It is a quiet building, and the beach service was great! A cleaning spray or wipe would have been appreciated, but honestly that is the ONLY thing I would have different about this amazing place. Do not hesitate to vacation here!

Island Princess 211. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $173 ... $620 per night. 2 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
Nice, relaxing stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
This was an amazing condo with great beach views! It was clean upon arrival and was decorated very beautifully with comfortable furniture. We had all that we needed for a relaxing stay of enjoying the pool and beach. The pool was heated to perfection and the hot tub was nice, altho it was small and always busy! The beach is beautiful and the chair service was nice on the beach. The only downside to this condo is the fact they didn’t provide pool/beach towels. I’m sure it’s not a problem for many who drive to this destination, but it is when flying since luggage space is at a premium! I would definitely stay in this unit again.

Condo with Beach view ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Condos located on beach, 217 has beach view but not directly as it is located on side and not beachfront. Condo clean, well maintained, perfect for what we needed. Customer service top notch, will definitely book with them again.

Island Princess 104. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $154 ... $589 per night. 2 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
Great Getaway! Great Location! Great Experience! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We enjoyed our stay greatly. The location was perfect for us, and we loved the convenience of the pool, ocean, and parking. The chair service each day at the beach was fantastic! The unit fit our needs and was very clean. Some minor maintenance or updates are needed, but I would not hesitate to stay here again as is. The only downside to this unit is the lack of view, as the sand dunes are in front of the patio. But the convenience of the location on the ground floor outweighed our lack of an ocean view.

My family had a positive vacation rental experience. The property description was accurate. The property was clean and well maintained. The proximity to the Gulf was amazing.

The 7th floor Gulf of America facing condo was perfect for the two of us for our three week stay. The entire property was kept very clean and tidy. The pool and hot tub were great and the beach chair/umbrella service a nice perk. Would stay here again.
