Island Princess 317

The condo is in a great location, short walk to the pool and beach. Decor is beach vibes and modern. Rooms are good size and not cramped. Kitchen is adequately stocked with everything you need to cook. Linens and towels were plentiful for our 5 day stay. Washer and dryer were nice to do laundry. The beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows and blankets. The dishwasher is aged and the shelves are rusted with broken tines. Could use an update. The ice maker in the freezer doesn’t work . I contacted management and was told they are aware and the owners aren’t going to fix until the refrigerator needs replaced. Therefore, we had to purchase ice as the two ice trays weren’t adequate for six adults. Tack strip between the carpet and tile of the front bedroom/bathroom was exposed. Management was quick to have someone come out to fix because of the exposed tacks/nails. Also, the bedroom directly across from the front door doesn’t cool down even though AC is on. We purchased a box fan to help with that. The light on the outside of the condo by the front door is very bright and makes the other front bedroom impossible to make dark at night. We tried towels over the shades and resorted to purchasing a black out curtain to resolve the issue. The rug in the living room and carpets could use a good shampooing. No obvious stains, just appear dirty with high traffic areas. Even with the few drawbacks, I would recommend this condo and would definitely stay here again.

Not sure if I'll do another VRBO

On our first day at our condo we get a knock on the door saying we are here to do construction on the balcony. Needless to say they were there our entire vacation. Called to complain to RealJoy Vacations ,they were willing to move us but not until our last day there. This took a day and a half of me complaining and pictures for this response

The property is in a great location and very clean. The only issue we had was that the pool was suppose to be open, which it was, however they had a portion of it taped off that you could not access for construction purposes. The hot-tub was also out of comission.

Great property!

This property was perfect for our little get away! Perfect location! Enjoyed the beach and seen a ton of sand dollars! 5 minutes from Destin boardwalk. The only complaint I have, is that in one of the bedrooms, there were stains on the covers and walls. Other than that, it was very clean! Definitely will be coming back!

Would not go back

Property was spacious and had very nice furniture. There were just some things that we didn’t like, example: the property was not cleaned very well(a lot of dust on the fans and chandeliers), on the front room, the toilet did not have a lever to flush, instead they tied a shoelace to pull and flush, the blinds from the front room don’t close very well(a lot of light comes in and the room gets VERY HOT), there is NOTHING in regards to apices(no salt, pepper,oil). Not a complaint, but be prepared because the cleaning crew was at out door 10 minutes prior to check out, FYI. The pool downstairs is small for the amount of people there and even though the rules say there shouldn’t be any smoking or drinking on the pool there are a couple of condos that have their balcony with gates directly to the pool and the people there drink and smoke… so it’s like they are in the pool doing both.

Don’t waste your money staying here.

This place is AWFUL! The condo itself is old and downright disgusting. From the mold in all 3 showers to the stains on the rugs and bedding...do yourself a favor and find a better place to stay. Not to mention there is a cockroach infestation. Gross! I wish I could add pics to this review. Oh, and trust me the pictures are an inaccurate description. You will be highly disappointed.

We decided to take this trip as a late Mother’s Day gift for our moms & decided to get married on the beach. The trip is the best trip I’ve ever been on. The condo was magnificent.

Overall, the condo is fine. It was very quiet, which I like. I prefer to face the gulf, but you can see the ocean from the balcony. It was hard to get the washer and dryer to operate correctly. One handle on the balcony sliding glass door jiggles like it’s about to fall off. Okaloosa Island is great for families and not too crowded.
