Great place, nicer rooms

We've been coming to island echoes for over 20 years. Least favorite room. Sofa has to be replaced totally broke down. Kitchen storage needs redone. We'll be back next year just not in 3I.

Stay at Island Echos Room 3I

The room was great for a family with kids. Bunk beds in one room and a king sized bed in the other. Room was located 2 floors above the pool which made it easy to check on kids from the balcony. We always enjoy our stay at any of the Island Echos Rooms

Great

We had great views and a very short walk to the beach. Everyone was very friendly. We would definitely stay here again. The condo was very clean. Only thing I would change is the patio furniture. The chairs sit to low.

Comfortable condo

All was as advertised. Place was comfortable. View was great. Close to elevator and stairs. The only thing we were not prepared for was that there were no start up amenities like salt, pepper, coffee filters, etc. That would have been good to know. Many places around the world have a spices in the cabinets for cooking. It would have been good to know what was not there. The electrical outlets did not work in 1/2 of one bedroom but the Vacasa people were very responsive and put in a ticket for that to be fixed immediately. Nice place to stay!

Good place, but had some issues

Communication and check in was great. the place was pretty clean and in a good location. However, the furniture is old and sagging - the bed is uncomfortable and squeaks at every turn. The couch cushions are practically flat. Not a "condo" thing, but still impacted out stay - the HOA was doing work on the building - right under this condo - they were drilling into the concrete first thing in the morning - it was horribly loud, there was cement dust floating both up (so we couldn't use our balcony) and it was right by the pool and I didn't feel comfortable with having kids in the pool area. We ended up leaving 2 nights early because of that. The company didn't comp 2 nights, but they did comp a bit of our stay.

Was not impressed.

The complex itself was fine, I liked that it set close to the water and the beach was shallow. The condo itself was not as good. The couch needs to be replaced. The cushions were so flat, the edge of the couch sat higher than the middle cushion, which was uncomfortable. The kitchen was missing a cookie sheet to bake on, and there was no pot holders to use to get anything out of the oven. They had the refrigerator turned too warm, so when we got there, it took a long time to get it to cool off. We thought it was broken, so they did bring a smaller fridge for us to use, but it sat out awkwardly in the entrance into the condo.

Beautiful condo

This condo was everything we needed for our family of 3. They had it pretty cleaned, and the view and beach are absolutely perfect. The complementary chairs was a HUGE plus for us. So thankful the beach wasn't over crowded. We had wonderful views, and had a week full of seeing jellyfish! Things I wish were different: The washer was mildewy- we had to wash a few doors down at my in laws. The coffee pot was broken, but placed where you didn't notice. So when I poured coffee it went all over the counter and myself 🥴 I had bought coffee for the condo, and still had to go out and purchase it in the mornings elsewhere 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️ I think the AC is unbalanced. One bedroom was FREEZING, and the other we were sweating. My daughter ended up sleeping on the couch because it was so cold in her room. Not huge issues for our trip thank goodness. It was still a wonderful visit, and we do hope to stay in this condo building again next year, just maybe a different room.

Needs some TLC

I have spent time at many different condos in the panhandle. I have to say, for the money I spent I would have expected the things I will note to not be an issue Needs cutlery - do not have a full set silverware for 1 person. I had to wash/use the same spoon every day Main couch is ready to be replaced -the cushions are so old and squished, it’s hard to get out of it. A dining chair has a leg about to come off - should be addressed Had great difficulty getting the cable tv to work - remote would not change the input to cable from Firestick. Had to stream from my phone. Think remote needs new batteries. An electrical outlet in primary bedroom and the cable wall outlet in the living room are both coming out of the wall - needs to be fixed before anyone with kids stays here. I have pics if needed Looks like there is black mold starting in the washing machine.

The Co Contacted me 2-3 times a day..... Glad you wanted to provide CS but that was just too much!!!

I recieved text/ calls multiple times daily asking about my stay. Very frustrating. The main negative was we had to hand wash ALOT of dishes daily ( I know sounds very petty ...) b/c the dishwasher kept messing up. We contacted the company, but it was over 24 hours for someone to come out. When the guy finally arrived he stated he did not know anything about those types of dishwashers, so we had to continue to wash dishes daily and nightly when we got in. My reccomendation would be please do not contact renters multiple times a day. If a renter has an issue I am 100 percent sure they will contact you all. My only other reccommendation would be to train your service employees on the actual appliances.

Ok stay

The room was clean. The kitchen was extremely small - only 2 could be on their at one time. Master BR was really large. Extra room was a bunk bed. Beach view from balcony was great. Beach service was prompt and helpful. The small kitchen was not stocked very well. No cookie pans at all? We're Cajuns and cook a lot. All and all I give it a 3 out of 5.
