Great spot for Fall Break!

We loved it here! The view is amazing and the property is clean and well maintained! The free chairs and umbrella was a huge plus. Great family environment. Only complaint is the bed in the master. The bed frame is broken on left side causing a huge dip on that side. It should be a quick fix but it’s something that should be fixed! Thanks so much for a great family getaway!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely, clean condo with perfect view of the Gulf. Great amenities--we liked not having to lug any chairs to the beach. Living room furniture may need to be updated. Also noticed it's very warm in the master bedroom, even after we had the drapes closed all day to keep out sun. Overall, this is a beautiful place to stay, especially if you're a first-timer.

Wonderful Beaches and Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first trip to the area and we really enjoyed it. Our only complaints would be 1) one side of the king size bed in the main bedroom had a deep sunken area- my husband and I both had to sleep on one half of the bed. 2) the sleeper sofa looks in good condition but was very uncomfortable. Other than those issues, the condo was great! Beachfront and awesome views!

Overall Great Experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had an amazing time in Ft. Walton. The condo is close to lots of food, the Boardwalk is 5 minutes away and easy access to the beach. Great view from the 2nd floor balcony of the ocean. AC wasn't working when we got there but thankfully the weather was cool so no big deal and they came to fix it quickly without fuss! The two chairs that came with the unit were nice and they had someone to set them up each morning. The pull out couch is not comfortable very thin mattress/adults would not enjoy but for kids it was fine:) Heated pool and jacuzzi were favorites for the kids. Overall great unit, great location and would love to come back again!

Good location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall a good stay, although the entire condo would benefit from being updated. The appliances don't match and the overall lighting is on the darker side in the bathrooms and living area. The front lights stopped working towards the end of our stay and the door handle to the patio began to come loose as well. Some maintenance and some updates would serve the room well. Condo was an easy walk to the beach and pool and the view was great. The included beach chairs and umbrella was convenient.

Great vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice vacation rental. I would stay here again. We had 3 adults and 3 kids (6 yr old twins & 5 yr old). The kids slept on the pullout and had plenty of space. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. We drove in from Texas and would have liked an earlier check in. 4 pm is late and I feel like we lost a day of vacation especially since checkout is at 10. The kids loved sitting on the patio to eat breakfast. The view is beautiful. The condo looks well maintained. The kitchen is big and it has everything you need to cook. There was a broom and a vacuum in the condo. The broom didn't have a dust pan (we bought one and left it) and the vacuum wouldn't turn on. The floors have a constant layer of sand (even upon arrival) so it would be nice to have a swiffer vacuum or something to help clean it up. We wore our flip flops the entire time in the condo. There is a closet with lots of games for the family to play. We had a lot of fun and I would recommend this property to friends and family.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was very disappointed in the washer/dryer. I've never seen one like that before in a condo. You could only wash or a dry a load at a time. There was a switch that you had to move to wash or dry. It took forever to wash a few loads of laundry. I was also disapointed with the couch and loveseat. They were hard and very uncomfortable. They appeared to be new but should be replaced immediately. The view was beautiful. I loved the new app that the management company has. I have rented from this company before and they have always been very nice and professional. Upon arriving at the condo, we loved the view and the appearance of the condo. However, we will not stay at this condo again if the couch and washer/dryer has not been replaced. I could not refer this condo to someone either because of the seating and washer/dryer.

IP213 Is A Great Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed at the Island Princess multiple times and IP213 continued to meet our needs well. The second floor view was great, though there was some concern on that before arriving. Easy access with stairs and an elevator close by. The layout was great four our two couples and everything was very comfortable. We'll definitely consider this property on our next trip. I would recommend the second bedroom be updated with curtains and a new bed frame for even better sleep. Thanks for sharing your property with us.

Nice

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice place except for one thing. The first thing you see on the 2nd floor is an overflowing trash can. Out of seven days it was only not overflowing 1 day. No big deal to me but an eyesore very visible as soon as you arrive. Great place though.
