Perfection!

We’ve stayed multiple places on Okaloosa! This was by far one of our favorite stays. The weather was perfect but we LOVED having a covered parking spot. We’ve stayed other places where parking has been an issue. The condo had everything we could need and a few things we borrowed for fun! Brad was incredibly easy to work with and made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend booking with them!

Awesome Place (cleaning needs some work)

The place is awesome, the location awesome, plenty of extra items in the place to use like the kitchen and beach. Would totally stay again. But honestly I would fire the cleaning staff. Will address with the owners.

Great family location

This is a great place for families. I love Destin, but it tends to be very overcrowded. Okaloosa Island is close enough to Destin for dinner and entertainment, but provides a beach that is not overcrowded.

A week of relaxation!

What a great place to stay - beautiful condo, beautiful views, clean beach and pool, plenty of room for 5 of us. Lots of extras - beach towels, toys, sunscreen, games, books, laundry detergent, soap in each bathroom and at kitchen sink, dishwasher soap. You name it, it might be there for your use. Walk in, relax, soak up the sun, and enjoy everything there is to see and do! Owners great to work with!

Superb amenities, great beach!

Condo had everything you could want. Full kitchen including all the appliances and utensils. Comfortable furniture and beds. Beach toys, towels, chairs and umbrella came in the unit. Beautiful view from the balcony. Swimming pool and hot tub were well maintained. Questions to the owner were promptly answered. Beach had perfectly white sand and clear water. Beach was graded and cleaned early each morning. Definitely would rent this unit again. We had a great time and are so grateful to the owners for maintaining a perfect property. Looking forward to renting this unit in the future.

Love this condo!

Very nice condo! Love that it has 3 bathrooms. It was so nice to come into a condo and feel like it was well stocked. Condo had fully stock kitchen, beach chairs, games and sand toys! This was a plus for us because we are limited on what we could bring flying. We appreciated the things people left behind like spices, laundry soap and paper plates. We brought those items and left ours behind for the next person. The view!!! Was perfect. Brad was always responsive to any of our concerns and I truly felt he just wanted us to have a peaceful time.

Perfection

This is a beautiful condo, clean and very well maintained with every detail considered and everything you may need for your stay provided. We needed nothing, but the owners checked in with us to make sure all was well and were very prompt in answering questions we had before our arrival. The view is wonderful, the property is well maintained, the beach service staff were friendly and accommodating. We loved having a covered parking spot. There are good restaurants in walking distance, but we also enjoyed the Destin area restaurants. Publix is just across the bridge - 10 min away - for groceries. We would definitely stay here again!

Annual Family Getaway

15 yrs of making this annual trek to Destin area and we were unable to stay at our favorite location. But Island Princess was a nice alternative. Property is older but well kept considering recent weather. Island Princess 215 is older but well loved. Brad & Marcia provide many amenities for the whole family, especially if this is your first beach vacation. Condo is showing some age and wear but a deep clean, some updates to the guest bath and maintenance/attention to hvac unit and kitchen ceiling will really make this unit a show place. Brad & Marcia were in contact with us throughout our stay and very attentive to our needs when we experienced a maintenance issue. A good time was had by all. Thank you for sharing IP215 with our family.

5 Star Vacay

We had a fantastic stay at the Island Princess #215. The condo was clean and met all our needs. It was nice to have the beach towels that were provided. We brought our own beach chairs, but there were plenty in the condo. The beach service was amazing. The guys were eager to help us with drilling a hole in the sand for the extra umbrella that was in the condo. The only hiccup we had was a water leak from the condo above us. It flooded the "queen" bathroom and the kitchen, but we were able to clean it up. I loved having 3 true bedrooms and 3 full baths. We will definitely return. Brad and Marcia are great hosts!!

Prefect for a family

Loved this condo. It was a great size for a group of 6. Loved all the extra touches. When we arrived we were greeted by a welcome sign and coffee mugs to take home. In the bathrooms there were little "treat bag" with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and lotion. The condo had everything we need. There were beach chairs, beach toys, boogie boards, and even beach towels. It was only a 5 minute drive to the grocery store. Also 5 minute drive to the Broadwalk and the Gulfarium. We will definitely be staying here again.
