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.

Excellent stay!

The condo is water front with a full view of the ocean! Within a matter of 2 minutes you’re on the beach where the staff is very friendly and accommodating! We felt it was just far enough away from the main drag that the beach wasn’t really overly crowded and allowed for lots of fun! We definitely would stay again!

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!

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!

From the time we arrived to the time we left the stay was amazing. The condo was so clean, the maids do an amazing and thorough job. The beach access was awesome especially having a toddler and the pool area was clean and perfect. We will definitely book here again.

Big, Bright and Beautiful!

Very comfortable unit! Sits on the second floor making it a breeze to load and unload your luggage. The living room has two lazy boy type chairs, a three-seat sofa that lets out into a full-size bed, nice TV and very good programming. It is as comfortable as "home". Plus, the patio that sits almost in line with the beach walk/shower and right over the pool. This is a real nice unit, highly recommend.

Great View

The view is amazing from this condo. The condo is well set up for lounging, cooking, and watching the ocean. It has a washer/dryer in the unit. It is on the beach. Very comfortable place. Sitting on the balcony is great for sun rise and sun set. 50 steps from door to the beach. Condo includes beach chairs and umbrella on the private beach, that is awesome in itself. The white sand is so soft. The ocean is beautiful Emerald green, just like the Caribbean. The beach service guys are great too. The complex is gated and they have nice carts to bring your stuff up. Vacasa team Phyliss and Tezdy are very friendly and they care of everything. And restaurants are close. Destin is only 5 miles away.

Great Location

We love this u it and how close it is to the beach. The beds have been updated in the extra bedroom, however, the mattress in the master could use replacing as well. The couch and chairs in the living room are in delegate need of replacing and the shower holds water like a bathtub. There must be a clog. As far as location, you can get any better. Such a great family atmosphere, just needing a few fixes and updates.

Snowbird from Minnesota

First of all I hate all the codes you have to remember: auto gate, walking gate, gym, and unit. Second thing is the lack of walk in showers and high toilets. Third thing is the fact that no priority is given current residents for the next year. Snowbirds should have priority to renew their current unit until Jan 15 then it opens up for new renters. Fourth thing is that there is no consistency as to what Snowbirds have to pay. I was charged an "amenity" fee of $210.00 but no other Snowbirds were. Fifth, trying to get ahold of Vacasa is an exercise in frustration. Sixth, there should be a lighted keypad at the entry gate for when you come back after 6 pm. Lastly, there should be more handicapped parking spots in the parking lot. I could go on and on but I doubt if anything will ever be done let alone any return feedback.

Nicely decorated, but not comfortable

Tahoe condo itself was nice. Great view but pool below balcony. We thought the condo could use a good cleaning especially the floors and fans. No broom and the vacuum isn’t very good. We killed a couple of big roaches and we found ants in the closet and bedroom on the last day. Keep in mind it’s close to the trash chute and elevators. Living room furniture is uncomfortable. We have stayed at Island echos for several years and love the condo and area. We come every year and will be back next year probably not this unit though.

Good views

The room view was amazing. Roomy with nice King size bed. Queen and bunks in the same room. I do have to say it was not clean. My sheets had not been washed. The floor had sand all over it. The shower had hair clumps in the drain. Found a bikini bottom under the bed. A kleenex and scrunchie were left in the floor. The floor was very dirty and no cleaning supplies in the room. Need a better broom to sweep the sand up
