Island Echos 3BR/3BA - Huge Gulf-Front Condo with 32' Balcony
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Island Echos
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.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
You'll never find another unit that is as spacious with a 32 foot balcony to enjoy sunrises and sunsets over the Gulf. We've gone the extra mile to make sure the unit is well equipped for a wonderful vacation. All you have to do is have a good time and make wonderful memories. Come see us!

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 boys --- Jason, age 32, 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 Clark, age 29, who lives in Hollywood, CA where he works in the movie industry....he was on the special effects team that produced Academy Award winning "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." 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.

Fabulous area and condo!

We loved it! We took our 3 young children, and another couple with 3 children, and there was so much room for the kids to play and run around. Everything we needed was provided, and great tub to wash the sands off little bottoms (and big ones, too!). The beach is great with soft, white sands so no feet were burning! Area is great and close to necessities. Great running/jogging area. Will return! Thanks so much!
Owner response:Heather -- Thanks so much for your kind comments. I appreciate how well you took care of the unit and welcome you back anytime. Take care and I'll see you next year. Book early as I am already filling up. Thanks so much, Angela

I cannot say enough good things about this condo and the area that it is located in. I have been coming to Florida each year all of my life. This particular condo was among the top two units that we have stayed in. I would rate it number one due to how close it is to the actual beach. The unit itself was absolutely beautiful and had every amenity that anyone could hope for. Most importantly, the owner was one of those people that you feel like you have known for years after one conversation. She went out of her way to insure that everything was available that we needed and is truly a kind and caring human being. Renting her home is more than a business to her in my opinion; she truly wants to insure that everyone who stays in her home has a memorable vacation. We intend to return next year and will hopefully be able to get this unit. We are clean fanatics, and her home was nothing short of immaculate. Everyone in my family agrees with my opinions and each of us thank her for her kindness, caring, and willingness to share such a beautiful home.
Owner response:Hi, Gerard. Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am so happy you enjoyed your stay and hope you come back. I wish I had been able to meet you. Maybe next year. Take care of yourself and please give my regards to your wonderful family. Angela

When we arrived at this condo and open the door everyone paused then proceeded through the entryway and into the condo. This condo is breathtakingly beautiful. It was exactly as describe and so much more. Not one disappointment here. I have traveled and stayed in many hotel rooms and grew up in the hotel/motel business in Gatlinburg, TN. My family owns over a dozen hotels, a bed & breakfast and another twenty or so rental cabins. I cleaned many of them growing up and have stayed in the best rentals throughout the US. Make no mistake I am very critical and always inspect every room or condo I stay in for cleanliness, furnishings, decor, view, accessibility and non working and working amenities. This condo was top notch and in my opinion a FIVE STAR condo in every aspect. The grounds were well kept, the pool was just the right tempter with crystal blue water, front door parking and two elevators plus loads of DVD retails, refreshment machines, pleasant and personable staff on the beach. The views were second to none not only from the front but also from the back. Wow, simply put wondrous! The condo felt like home with all the extras that makes a vacation easy and pleasant. The kitchen is fully stocked with every cooking utensils, pots, dishes, blenders, toaster, coffee maker, two full size refrigerators with an extra and independent ice maker that was over the top for convinces of filling ice chests for the beach, outings or making frozen drinks. I was so impressed with the ice maker that I am planning on buying one for my kitchen. The owner is also very personable and easy to converse with and is always just a phone call away. How great is that in this day of electronic answering services? Five Stars again. I looked at and researched reviews of well over a hundred rentals before booking this rental and this condo stood above and beyond all the others. I will be returning in the spring and I am so glad that I found this diamond in the ruff. With the upmost Respect, T. H.
Owner response:Tina, thank you so much for such a glowing review. I am always anxious to hear what people think about my unit. I and my family enjoy it so much and hope that renters will as well. You were a wonderful tenant and we look forward to your return visit. Thanks, Angela

We had a large group of 4 adults and 7 kids and had plenty of room. The condo was clean, and well kept. It was wonderful! We especially loved the balcony. When we arrived, the chair in the living room was damaged, but when we called Angela about it she replaced it for us immediately with a brand new chair. We had a wonderful time and made many great memories! Thank you Angela for sharing your piece of paradise!
Owner response:Hi, Alyssa and Nick. Thank you so much for your nice review. I try very hard to keep the unit in the condition that I would want it to be if I were renting it. Since you were there, we have put in a large flat screen TV in the living room and made a few other improvements. I hope you come again next year.

My friends and I just returned home from a short stay at this condo. The view from the balcony is spectacular. The building is well cared for and very close to the beach. We had a wonderful time.
Owner response:Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm happy you had a good vacation and I'm looking forward to your return trip. Come back soon to our beautiful beaches and clear, emerald green water. Again, thanks for enjoying my condo.

This condo is awesome! The view from the large balcony is one in a million! Our vacation consisted of me, my husband, my Mom (74+) and my niece (16). This was my niece's first time seeing the ocean in her life and being able to share the experience with her was wonderful! If you are looking for a home away from home this condo is for you! It is by far one of the best condos I've stayed at in FL. It was my little slice of heaven for a week. I do have to give praise to the icemaker, it was great for mixed drinks, sodas and the occasional small ice chest to take bottle water down to the beach! Thank you again Angela!!!!!
Owner response:Thanks, Kim. We enjoyed having you with us. I hope your Mom had a good time. We look forward to your return visit. Thanks for the kind words. Angela

We recently spent a fantastic week soaking up the sun and playing in the sand (all spotless!) while staying at Angela's beautiful condo. We had absolutely everything we needed for entertaining our two married daughters and our five grandsons. All furnishings, kitchen appliances, utensils, and linens were not only provided but were just beautiful! This condo was a perfect choice for us. Thank you, Angela, for a very memorable vacation with our family. We definitely plan to come back!
Owner response:Dear David and Suzy. Thank you so much for your kind comments. I'm so happy that you decided to come to our beautiful beach although the news media was predicting gloom and doom. Please, please help us get the word out that our beaches are clean and the water clear. Our way of life and economy depends on it. We look forward to your return trip. You were wonderful tenants. Thanks again. Angela

Hi Angela, We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. By far it was the best condo we have ever stayed in before. Everyone enjoyed it! The pictures are great but do not do it justice, You just have to see it, I loved the shiny tile floors. And the huge balcony with the spectacular view was awesome!. We have stayed on Okaloosa Island several times in years past, but this was absolutely our best visit. Thanks again.

Angela- Thanks so much for renting out your wonderful condo! We stayed in September of 09 and are hoping to get back in 2010! The views were amazing as was the weather and the entire condo! We usually visit Okaloosa yearly and from now on we will be looking to stay in your condo! The beaches are great and not too crowded. Couldn't ask for more!
Owner response:Thanks, Rikki and Brian, for such nice words. We really enjoyed having you stay at the condo. I'm so happy you had a great time and we look forward to your next visit. Angela
