About this property

GREAT FOR FAMILIES- Huge 3/3 Gulf-Front Condo with 32' Balcony


Million dollar view from this 3 Bedroom, 3 Bath penthouse on the beach. May be the best view on Okaloosa Island -- see all the way to Navarre and past the Okaloosa Pier as far as the eye can see toward Destin, just six miles to the east.

This beautiful unit is on the perfect floor to watch the dolphins, seagulls and activity on the beach from the huge 32 foot balcony. Watch the boats on the Intercoastal Waterway and have a front row seat for holiday fireworks from front walkway.

Everything has been renovated and updated. Master suite is a dream ..... separate shower, whirlpool tub, vanity area, large walk-in closet, sliding glass door to balcony.

Kitchen is wonderful with a horseshoe shaped breakfast bar, separate lighted wet bar, ice maker, garbage disposal, fridge with water & ice through the double door, ceramic glass top stove, built-in microwave.

Master bedroom has king-sized bed, one guest room has private bath and a king-sized bed, another guest room has 2 sets of bunk beds; one with full sized bed underneath. Extra sleeping with raised queen sized Aero-bed. All with huge closets and television sets. Master bedroom and bunk room both have DVD players. Washer and dryer and second refrigerator add to the convenient features.

Island Echos amenities include: seasonally heated Gulf front pool (usually January to mid-March), picnic and barbeque area, shuffleboard court, lighted tennis courts. Best amenity, of course, is the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico with wide, snow-white beach and clear, clean emerald-green water.

This is a wonderful condo, very spacious, with an awesome balcony overlooking the clear emerald-green waters and sugar-white sands of the spectacular Gulf of Mexico.

Island Echos is one of the favorite destinations for families visiting the Emerald Coast. It's a mid-rise with only seven stories. There are plenty of amenities on site, plus all the amenities of Fort Walton Beach and Destin just a few minutes away.

The Non-Smoking condo has recently been renovated and has new furnishings and new appliances. It's decorated in a very pleasing Florida style which is warm and inviting.

The master bedroom has a king bed, large TV, DVD player. The second bedroom has a king bed and RV. The third bedroom has 2 sets of bunk beds -- one with a full mattress under and TV and DVD player . All bedrooms have spacious bathrooms. In addition, there is a queen sized raised Aero bed for extra sleepers.

The balcony is a pure delight with plenty of lounge chairs and outdoor eating area. The views go on forever in both directions. Watch the dolphins frolic from the balcony.

Don't miss the exciting fireworks display on Okaloosa Island at the Okaloosa Island pier. Starts at 9 sharp on Wednesday nights through the summer.

Beautiful views, great location, but dated

We loved the location and the views from this condo are spectacular, but the condo needs some updating. Missing cabinet door knobs and loose handles, old area rugs, and narrow steps into the primary shower need attention.

Fantastic stay!

We had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the breathtaking view from the balcony every morning while eating breakfast and watching for dolphins. So many great features to the condo, including the big bathtubs, ice machine, washer and dryer, amenities for the beach, and open concept in the living room and kitchen. Jason was so kind, helpful, and accommodating as a host!! Will definitely recommend to everyone we know and stay again!

A good family rental

Usually places like this are much smaller than they appear, but this one is exactly as advertised. It was able to comfortably fit 9 adults without getting in each other’s way. The furniture was comfortable and the balcony just awesome! The downside was it needed some upkeep. Two of the three toilets broke while we were there, the garbage disposal was not working, and none of the dvd players functioned. The owner was responsive and fixed most of it right away. It was a minor inconvenience but on vacation even those are not welcome. The shower was very nice and the kitchen was well equipped. Don’t wash a lot of clothes as the dryer vents would stop up very frequently… again minor complaint. I would rent it again if I had a large group.

Great Amenities!

We try out a different condo/resort every summer and have stayed in Okaloosa many times. This unit has a gorgeous view, big balcony, large living space (we had 5 adults and 5 children ages 5-15) and is very well equipped. We loved having laundry in the unit, plus a second fridge since we cook all of our meals for a large family each day. The ice maker was also a huge hit! We were there in peak season and had no trouble with wait times for elevators or finding front row beach frontage to enjoy all day. The unit could use a refresh as it looks and feels dated and a bit worn, but we had a wonderful time overall and the extra amenities helped us overlook the rest.

New Years getaway

We have been able to rent this property several years in a row to ring in the New Year! We love the location and love the condo! I was a little disappointed with the condo cleanliness. It smelled like old musty water was used to clean the condo. There were streaks on the appliances and mirrors. We ended up buying some cleaner and cleaning the surfaces. Overall, we enjoyed the condo and Jason was great with communications with us on check in and check out process.

About the host

Hosted by Angela Parkhurst

Host profile image
Hi, Y'all. My name is Angela Parkhurst and I'm fortunate to live in the very area where this condo is located. It's paradise on earth along this Emerald Coast. This makes it easy to manage my rental unit and be quick to resolve any issues (very few so far) that can arise.

I am the proud mother of three wonderful men --- Jason, age 42, a professional photographer who travels all over the world taking photos for such publications as Sports Illustrated and USA Today, Cameron (Jason's twin), who lives in Atlanta and works very successfully in the wonderful world of finance and is the proud and doting father of Madison (age 8) and Carter (age 6). My youngest son, Clark, age 39, lives in Los Angeles, CA where he works in the movie and ad industry. I also am the proud and doting Mom of a Schnoodle named Lulu.

Please come visit us. You'll love the condo and the incomparable view of the Gulf of Mexico.

Why they chose this property

I actually bought the unit and lived in it for three years so it has a lot of upgrades that other units don't have. The Destin/Fort Walton Beach area is one of the most beautiful areas on this earth --- snow white sandy beaches, clear and clean emerald green waters. There's plenty to do with over a hundred golf courses within 50 miles, water parks, wonderful restaurants, snorkeling and scuba diving and fishing beyond compare.

What makes this property unique

New exercise room is now open. The building has recently received a major facelift and looks amazing.
