The cutest condo and perfect size for family of 5. The master bedroom is large with king size bed. The guest bedroom is smaller but has bunk beds and queen size bed making it perfect for 3 kids. The condo is right next to elevator but we always took the stairs since its on the 2nd floor. Everything was perfect and super nice people around.

The room was just as pictured, room was clean, beds were comfortable and the beach view was amazing from the balcony. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you needed to cook with. Easy to get to despite road construction. Island Echos is located in a non-congested area and absolute easy getting in and out from the condo. The beach service was an extra bonus LOVED IT!!! Destin was just a short trip up the road was much easier getting around than the Fort Walton side....(more road congestion and road work) I will defiantly book this condo/area again.

Great location, right on the beach. Close to restaurants and shopping. Pictures were accurate. Plenty of dishes and cookware but no salt and pepper. That’s not a big deal. We enjoyed our stay there.

Easy access and just everything you want in a stay.

My wife claims we will not go anywhere but here ever again. It's just a great location, simple but beautiful. The room is not a wow factor place it's somewhere I would live in summer months for sure. If that helps.

Great condo right on the beach!

The experience overall was excellent. Had a few hiccups ( balcony closed for construction and had ants in the master bedroom). Maintenance was quick to treat the ants. And the building will look amazing one the renovation is completed l. Would stay there again!

Wouldn’t change a thing

This was our 2nd vacation at Island Echoes and still no complaints! The condo was spotless, had everything we needed and was in beautiful stylish condition. Vacasa was amazing to work with. One thing I love (having teenagers) is that the condo doors have codes so there are no keys to keep up with! We look forward to next year!

Great location

The view is amazing, very close to beach! The beach is narrow here so more crowded than toward Orange beach. Balcony over pool, can be loud or convenient depending on your needs. Both bunks and queen has toppers on bed, master does not. King in master is firm. Very nicely decorated, quality sturdy furniture especially set on balcony. I would rent here again.

Beautiful Get-a-way

We had a wonderful experience booking through Vacasa who texted us daily to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The condo was absolutely beautiful, extremely clean and looked like it had just been totally remodeled. There were more than enough towels and supplies included which were needed for our stay! Perfect view of the ocean from the balcony and just a walk across the boardwalk to the beach. The master bed was extremely comfortable. The kitchen was loaded with beautiful dinnerware and everything needed for a perfect stay. We were right above the pool which was a bit noisy at times, but we were able to view beautiful moon lit nights over the ocean. A very friendly family resort and the complimentary umbrellas and chairs that were set up every morning for the guests was a huge plus! We’ll be visiting again soon!

Expected more

I expected more cleanliness since the extra fees were for cleaning. I cleaned better when I got there! Ants were in every room, just a few but they were there. We have stayed in this condo for three years now and it's a very nice place. No communication with property owner (required a response).

Great Location, Great Condo, Inaccurate Pictures, Poor Management Response

This condo is great location and has a beautiful ocean view. Being on the 2nd flood just gives the best lookout perspective. The complex is clean and right on the beach. Bathrooms on first flood are convenient to beach. Beach and pool were not overcrowded. The only issue(s) we had was that the pictures aren't up to date. We bought ground coffee because the pictures showed a drip coffee maker and when we got there the only coffee option was a Keurig. I messaged the management the first night when we arrived and requested that someone bring a drip coffee maker since that is what we bought supplies for and what was shown in the pictures (and the description didn't state anything different). I had no response, followed up several times and all I got was the local team is aware of the request. Left today and still never heard from anyone. Ended up having to walk to a gas station (because we didn't have a car) to get some K cups.
