We stayed in the condo august 13- 20. We had a blast. Fist off when you walk into the condo it is beautiful, its so nice to go on vacation and not have to worry about bringing anything besides bathing suits and pj's, not having to worry about all the clothes your going to have to wash when you get home. It was like being at home but when you walk out on the balcony your magically in paradise. my daughter loved the bunk beds, I really enjoyed the kitchen area and how when I was cooking the sink/

Hi Donnie, My husband, kids and I loved the place. It is what were were looking for and would stay again. The beach was beautiful and that you could be on it with an umbrella and a chair was great. Thank you for that. I would love to stay again next year. The decor in your home was beautiful. It was easy to get to and I would tell out friends to stay there. Thank you. H. T. August 2011

This was our 2nd time to stay at the Flowers Beach condo in Fort Walton Beach FL. This time we also invited our two sons and a girlfriend. Everyone enjoyed the cleanliness of the condo, the view from balcony (saw dolphins!) and the peacefulness of the beautiful beach. We all loved how close we were to restaurants, bars, shopping. Our oldest son also proposed to his girlfriend on the beach the last night of our visit! D. G. July 2011

Donnie, We had a wonderful time! Thank you for allowing us to rent your beautiful condo. This is the first time I have ever rented a place via the internet sight unseen. I could not have been more satisfied. It was so nice to stay in a place that felt like a home rather than a strange hotel room. Our boys loved being able to walk to the beach everyday and we had to pry them out of the pool. Again, your condo was absolutely fantastic.

This was a great place to stay and for a very reasonable price. We loved being able to sit on our deck and watch the water and the elevator at the end of the complex made it easy to go up and down to the pool and ocean. Keyless entry is a HUGE PLUS!! The beach attendants were wonderful and the owners of the property were very prompt in answering all of our questions. We had never been to the Ft Walton area. Beautiful stay!! E. H. June 2011

Donnie - We are having an amazingly wonderful, fantastic fun time at the Island Princess. One of our sons has your place, and they watched dolphins from their balcony yesterday morning. They said they could tell that the dolphins were actually playful. Then down to the beach, a bit of kayaking, then to the pool, off to one of Destin's fine restaurants and back to a gathering at one of our condos. This is the life! Being pampered here, with our own beach set-up and the wonderful condos is just what we all need. Grandchildren are having a blast, and my mom, who's about to turn 88, is enjoying the sun, the grins and giggles. These grown boys haven't had so much fun together since they were kids themselves, and now their wives can enjoy it with them. Thank you so much for helping to make this family get-together possible. We'd love to make it an annual event and are thinking at least every other year. With great appreciation, N. M. July 2010

The girls enjoyed their stay very much and my wife says she'd like to stay in your condo again when we go on vacation. Barb told me it was a very nice place(condo), beautiful area, and great place to vacation. We appreciate how helpful you both have been and were quite impressed with you calling them while in the area, during the potential bad weather. That reassurance was great for those 3. Believe me. I myself was actually quite relieved, and thought it showed that you are really good folks. Its very nice to deal with people who go beyond the expected and show that extra bit of kindness. Rare to find that so much these days. :) And much appreciated when you do. Thanks again, Jeff T.

Hello! We had a great vacation, especially just after the holidays. The bad part is returning to Ohio. We have been fighting the cold and trying to stay in reasonably good moods in spite of the below zero temps. Thank you so much for sharing your condo. I know I repeat others, but the pictures do not do it justice. I didn't expect it to be so spacious! Beautiful art and accent pieces! We discovered the Magnolia Grill on Brooks St.--really nice people and good food. I miss the walks on the beach and on the sidewalks. Thank you again. I will keep checking for "specials. VW

Don & Kathy, We just returned home from a fantastic stay at your Island Princess condo. We can't thank you enough for allowing us the opportunity to use your condominium home. Everything was great, from the accommodations to the various dining venues. I will have to agree with you about McGuire's. We had an awesome meal there and the service was some of the best we have had in a long time! I understand why it's one of your favorites. We also enjoyed the Old Bay Steamer. We had a King Crab/Snow Crab steamer platter for two that not only was incredible, but would have possibly fed four people. The white sugary beach was immaculate and the water was beautiful. We saw dolphins a couple of days while basking in the glow of the sun at the beach. All in all, we had a blast and are already looking at when we might possibly be able to make a return visit! Sincerely, T.P. 7/12/08

The crowds we almost non-existent and the beach was quiet and relaxing—I know, not good for rentals but we enjoyed the quiet.

We enjoyed it very much. I'm so glad it snowed that weekend and I had time to just look on the internet for something other than a hotel. Your condo is very nice and has one of the best stocked kitchens I've encountered in a long time of condo renting. It was the first time we'd ever been in that area. We usually stay on Sanibel, but it's so far down and getting more expensive by the year. I think we'll be back! Thanks again.
